...and i did made it clear what I was planning to do in my thread. I even provided concept sketches on the final look of the characters before I even touched Maya. Even you yourself you had no issues. why didnt you voiced your concern at that initial stage? Why wait till after the results?.. Just a few short words and then I think it's best to leave it be, okay? As Tweety rightly quessed it isn't personal( to anyone, judges and participants alike) and as an artpiece yours was the best;lighting staging and final composition and design were supreme ( not to say the amount of work you put in), when compared to the rest, but it didn't feel like a redesign ( at least not me )which has nothing to do with the quality of work you have displayed. It's like holding a modeling competition and in the end being judged based on a final render I haven't questioned it because I only looked at the challenge outline on friday when I picked my own project up again and because of time constraints focussed on the main criteria( or my interpretation of them). But again just leave this be
