That's right everyone,
THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!
But first, I would like to take the opprotunity to thank you all. You're continued support Zero Virus, and the Zero Virus Carnival made this carnival a success. Your participation in the Semi-Annual Zero Virus Carnival made all the hard work us staff members put into it work while. We hope you all enjoyed everything, and it's real hard for me to actually close it down.
But enough about that, time to Announce the scores for the Contests.

<Vilex>I liked how you put detail into this. Very nice. But, maybe you flooded the readers with too much details, perhaps? It good you put that much, but maybe there was a little too much. The story was fitting, it seemed pretty good.
<Smoke> Stories good, no doubt but uh... I was kinda flooded with details. Got kinda bored after reading so much detail. K.I.S.S... Keep It Simple, Stupid. Remember that one.

Judge Comments:
<Vilex> This was an okay one. I didn't like it as much, it wasn't very original, I think it contained too much familiarality to Full Metal Alchemist, and not enough storyline combination. Good effort though, you seemed to put quite some work into this it seems.
<Smoke>Where the hell do I start? It's good, dont get me wrong, but too many refs from M.G is in there, and finding too many references is kind of a story killer, almost immediately. Having a cross over is fine, but too many quotes from it? Bad indeed. It's like Terminator always saying 'I'll be back.' What the bloody hell do we need to hear that for? We know it already. See what I mean?

<Vilex>The name wasn't very fitting, 'Super Inuyasha Brothers'? It seemed you just mixed stuff from Super Mario Bros, and Inuyasha, and just swamped details.
Not very original. It seemed a little bland, and far-fetched.
<Smoke>-_0 What the **** happened here?! I mean, the story name is mixed in with Mario, it clashed like mad... Sorry, just didn't grind with me.

<Vilex> Shading could of been better, its hard to make out some detail too, according to how you've shaded it. The 'underwear' looks almost as big as his chest. I think proportions could have been a little better, as opossed to originality of the sprite.
<Smoke> I'm actually quite a harsh judge when it comes to sprites, and this ones' proportions are SERIOUSLY off. The legs I mean. Also, on various parts of the sprite, IE, the shoulder pads, you've kept the darkest outline at the darkest tone of red. Now look at the helmet, see how that clashes? It's like putting a brick wall in front of the light. ... If that made any sense.

<Vilex> I liked it. But, the shading looked a little blochy in some areas. I also think you put too many shines on the sprite, also.. Some detail are hard to make out too, mainly the legs, I think they could of been shaded/shaped better. Other then that, it looks fine.
<Smoke> Oh I seriously love this one! It looks great, in my eyes! ... However, some small flaws do stop it from being near perfect. For starters, the blue is too deep from the darkest shade to the medium shade. I would of found another use of blue for that. And I also find the arm are too...straight? Or bowing outwards, to say the least. The SHADING however, is flawless in my eyes. I got the feel of the character the instant I looked at him. Which is always good, wouldn't you say?

<Smoke> Okay, nice try but um... ... ... You used the colours from an advance sprite, which contrast is minimal compared to a MMX sprite, and put it on a MMX sprite. It clashes to the high hills. The proportions are correct, but I have a feeling you missed a few things out.

<Vilex> I think you could of added more.. 'realism', to the picture. There is a expression; 'Think outside the box.', which I think you could of expanded your artwork detail.
<Smoke> Realism put aside, very nicely done. I quite like it. :3 However, with the realism put back in place, it seems to lack SOME realism...however, it was nicely done, so you get your high grades from me.

<Vilex> I like the whole 'dark' theme about it. Night-time seems to capture the picture more better, I think. The shading and realism is great.

<Vilex> I think this was great. It was definatly different, and original, compared to the other entries, and I think thats what counts. A little twist and variation in artwork.
<Smoke> I'm not a major fan of your artwork, but the rain was a seriously nice effect. I quite liked this entry alot, and what added to it was the sense of realism standing there in the rain. I caught the emotion of this. Well done Net, you've obtained my captive audience. *^^*

<Vilex> I like this, though.. It doesn't entirely look like Bahamut, it looks, slightly different. But still good, I like the shading, though its only 3 tones of shades, very basic and efficent.
<Smoke> I'm not too sure what this thing was, so I asked V to yank up a picture for me. It DOES look different slightly, however, it was nicely made, so congrats on that. Shading is superbly basic, which in most artworks, is what you should be aiming for.

Onto the last Game, The Giant Monster Tournament!! >=D
The winner of the Battle Monster tourney is......Swimstuds vicious beast, sniperjoe!!!
It was a foggy morning, Cronical and sniperjoe, two enormous squids, swam across the surface of the cold water. They knew that there was only room for one gargantuan squid in the Earths vast blue waters. Someone had to die...
Cronical opened the fight with his fire breath, which did not surprise sniperjoe, who had sunk into the water to avoid the fire. sniperjoe was much smarter the Cronical after all.
sniperjoe lunges at Cronical, carefully avoiding his enourmus tusks.
Cronical was easily over-powered by sniperjoe, so he knew he had to back away, so he began to swim away from sniperjoe. His attempt to back out proved futile, since sniperjoe was faster then Cronical after all.
sniperjoe knew he had to end it quickly, so he sprayed clouds of inky smoke at Cronical, knowing he would easily be confused. Cronical began to panic, and jumped out of the clouds. Cronical leaped a great distance before realizing sniperjoes ability to control the weather. Cronical was struck by a lightning bolt through the fog, and was fried by 100,000 volts of electricity.
It became apparent by the onlookers of this spectacular yet horrifying match, that this Gigantic Mecha-squid, sniperjoe, CANNOT BE STOPPED!

<Vilex> The detail of this art wasn't very exciting. It lacked alot of features and things.

<Vilex> I think you could of added more.. 'realism', to the picture. There is a expression; 'Think outside the box.', which I think you could of expanded your artwork detail.
<Smoke> Realism put aside, very nicely done. I quite like it. :3 However, with the realism put back in place, it seems to lack SOME realism...however, it was nicely done, so you get your high grades from me.

<Vilex> Its not that bad. Better then I though you'd do, honestly. Could of been more detailed, and texturized, if you ask me.
<Smoke> Lacks texture... ... ... Could of been alot more better

<Vilex> Eh, its very.. Pixely. Could use a dose more of realism.
<Smoke> It's rather sub-pixelated, rather than smooth, sort of how you look at a picture at extremely close range on your monitor. Sorry.

<Vilex> Nice. I like how the cloud came out at the top. The sun.. Ehhh, looks like something blew up.

<Vilex> I like the whole 'dark' theme about it. Night-time seems to capture the picture more better, I think. The shading and realism is great.
<Smoke> Oh sweet, this one really took to me, due to the night time setting made for it. Well done, effort was definately put into this.

<Vilex> I think this was great. It was definatly different, and original, compared to the other entries, and I think thats what counts. A little twist and variation in artwork.
<Smoke> I'm not a major fan of your artwork, but the rain was a seriously nice effect. I quite liked this entry alot, and what added to it was the sense of realism standing there in the rain. I caught the emotion of this. Well done Net, you've obtained my captive audience. *^^*

<Vilex> I like this, though.. It doesn't entirely look like Bahamut, it looks, slightly different. But still good, I like the shading, though its only 3 tones of shades, very basic and efficent.
<Smoke> I'm not too sure what this thing was, so I asked V to yank up a picture for me. It DOES look different slightly, however, it was nicely made, so congrats on that. Shading is superbly basic, which in most artworks, is what you should be aiming for.

<Vilex> Its a nice picture. The details nice on it, I like the feathers. It lacks shading though.
<Smoke> Cripes where do I start? The shading was kinda... well, meh, to be honest with you! However, the feathers were a very nice touch, so that gives you some credibility to this.

<Vilex> It was a decent picture. Though, some of the detail was hard to make out on the drawing. I like the shading, good work on color pencil.
<Smoke> Niiiiiiicely done. Just perfect for a pencil drawing. I don't think anything seriously needs to be said on the situation, wouldn't you happen to agree?

Onto the last Game, The Giant Monster Tournament!! >=D
The winner of the Battle Monster tourney is......Swimstuds vicious beast, sniperjoe!!!
It was a foggy morning, Cronical and sniperjoe, two enormous squids, swam across the surface of the cold water. They knew that there was only room for one gargantuan squid in the Earths vast blue waters. Someone had to die...
Cronical opened the fight with his fire breath, which did not surprise sniperjoe, who had sunk into the water to avoid the fire. sniperjoe was much smarter the Cronical after all.
sniperjoe lunges at Cronical, carefully avoiding his enourmus tusks.
Cronical was easily over-powered by sniperjoe, so he knew he had to back away, so he began to swim away from sniperjoe. His attempt to back out proved futile, since sniperjoe was faster then Cronical after all.
sniperjoe knew he had to end it quickly, so he sprayed clouds of inky smoke at Cronical, knowing he would easily be confused. Cronical began to panic, and jumped out of the clouds. Cronical leaped a great distance before realizing sniperjoes ability to control the weather. Cronical was struck by a lightning bolt through the fog, and was fried by 100,000 volts of electricity.
It became apparent by the onlookers of this spectacular yet horrifying match, that this Gigantic Mecha-squid, sniperjoe, CANNOT BE STOPPED!
