Judging submitted. This was EXTREMELY close for me!
I want to say, before the scores are up, that everyone, those that have already been eliminated, and those still in the competition, has an extreme amount of talent in the field of avi making. Everyone brought something new to this season that I did not see when I was competing in ANatM II.
Also, to the final three, I mean it when I say that my scores were close. You've all done magnificently, and it has been a great pleasure in watching y'all develop throughout this competition. It's been incredibly fun to judge these entries, but also a bit difficult given the fact that you three each have different avatar approaches when it comes to designing. I couldn't have asked for a more diverse and enjoyable set of finalists.
I really hope I have not offended anyone with my judging, and I can assure y'all, I've been entirely impartial. As this is the case, now that we're finishing up, if there are any hard feelings I hope they will be vanished. As I'm a newer judge to contests, I now know my weakness that I have already begun to overcome: the need to distance myself from familiarity with contestants. Now that all is said in done on my part, I just want to cuddle with everyone and design with them again. heart
