great job to everyone who entered (seriously entered that is)
It’s good to see 'stalker love coming through now and then.
Loved the Zabel AV’s might need to ask for permission to use…

Good contest, I guess i wont enter a joke entry next time because nobody appreciates the 5 seconds of work I put into the avatar 
ps air zabel is fuckin wicked
try a shadow in gif format with transparency and see how shitty it looks
One word. Baited.
There are other methods of creating depth than a drop shadow.
idea for next battle:
Halloween or team black hero’s

TBH ftw
lol T.J. Combo!
The new battle is open, and the theme is neither of those.
I mean…Halloween? Didn’t we just do Darkstalkers? DS = Halloween.
…seriously.
What’s the final point tally for the contest?
Super ABC Turbo Revival:
The main effect applied to Jedah’s arms gives a clear focal point not given in of the other avatars. This applied to the simple sprite color edit; gives off an effect that the energy is causing this.It gives a perfect effect to the av; making the rest just for show, and not much else. My only real complaint is the cyrstalize layer on the right side. Messes up the flow quite a bit.
This ties for second for me because:I can’t tell if it was vectored brushed, or the image had the tag and symbols to begin with. It has the best background of any av, and applies a very well light source to give a great focal point.
Same problem as the other av:I don’t know what was put in, and what was already there.The moon creates a fairly well light source to the bodies focal point.The smoke could have gone in the other direction to give the av more flow, but I don’t know if that was possible.
Very well created background,but lacks a: light source, Focal point, and the render isn’t very good at this size.
Honorables:
Better image quality, and maybe a sharpen layer.
needs something.
Animations:
Incredible sprite editing,and great effects on the leg;giving a clear focal point.Aniamtion is smooth, and just right.
Very well made; even if it is a simple design, the effort speaks for itself.
Very very well made storyboard av; that made me “lol”.Smooth animation,and decnt story.
honorables:
Liked it just because.
LMFAO*2
