Comments from Dan:
Here are my final entries. I used stages 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the trick or treat tote. I added a bit of my own comments to each. Thank you guys, this contest has really made me evolve into a true tekteker. I was never in a contest like this before, and it was tons of fun! <3 I love all you guys, I had a great time!

I really love this avatar, the stripes flow through the avatar so well... <3

Great job, Dan. I like weirdness in the layering, and how this avatar turned out. You spreading out colors was nice, and your little details are always great. I'm not sure if I liked the yellow, but it doesn't take away too much.

The biggest downer on this avi for me is just how awkward and bulky the layering is. Especially at the bottom of the dress. It's a cute idea and you did a good job getting the stripes to carry though the entire avi but the overall look is a tad awkward.

Nice. The stripes are, indeed, excellent, but there are like several different textures, and that makes the avi.. a bit... awkward, like Nav said.

I think that some of the oranges do not match, the layering is a tad sloppy and i feel that if you hosted a norm tektek comp in the DR and gave them that pose of the Ei, there would be atleast three people who came up with the same if not very simular designs

This one was the most difficult for me to make. The poses for that stage left me stuck, but I eventually feel i got the colors and the flow down pat, and it turned out to be quite successful.

Ah, great job, Dan. For me, these colors would have been hard to match, but you did wonderful. I definitely liked the amazingness in the layering of this avatar, and it catches my eye. Very interesting, and it keeps me staring. xD I would say, the reds are fine, except for the pants. Usually, I wouldn't care if a color was a bit off, but I think the pants stood out a bit too much.

I'm really impressed with this avi. The tans are multiple shades and yet all matched. The reds are a crazy shade, though the shoes are off. But it's the layering that I really love on this one. It's super creative and you did an amazing job not showing any skin.

This is very... Um.. what's the word? Unique! [in a good way] The reds are a little off and blockish, but the layering [as always] is spectacular.
P.S. The scores I [and Nav's, actually] gave you are a palindrome ;]

a few things really bother me about this avatar, if you hadent have posted anything about the form of the ei you were using i would not have known that you intended the mouth to be the main focus. its not emphasized and i find myself looking more towards the mummy. another part of the layering that bugs me is the belt. its very eye drawing especially since its the black bold but it doesnt look like it layers well, it really sticks out off the avatar and gives a three d feeling not in a good way.

The colors on this were a b***h to match, lol. However, it was worth it, this is my personal fave.

Dan! This is absolutely amazing! I think you deserve 50/50. Great spreading out the colors. You chose hard colors to work with, and you did an amazing job at making them look great! I love the oddness in this avatar, and overall, I think it looks wonderful.! (:
Navi-
10.9.9.10.10= 48
Again, I'm impressed. The color distribution is amazing on this, especially with the hard colors you're using again. It could have done without the book, which has that light strip that keeps distracting me.

I <3 this one, you did a really good job with the matching, and it's obvious that the main focus of the avi is the face. The book is kinda iffy for me... And I keep wanting to say more green, but then I notice all the greens there are, and then I wanna say more tan/brown, but I notice that there are lots... Same with the purple -highfive-
gray::
10.7.9.9.10=45
the shoes and the book bug me. perhaps brown socks and green shoes and no book?
this is definatley my favorite out of your colection though the shorts are a bit off color wise. i like that you used the black belt to seperate the colors and that its unoticable but still there so that the colors flor but dont get to messy, you definatley have a clean cut look!

On this one I used the blood spattered dress, and I felt I needed a more complicated color scheme, and i think it all looks beautiful together. <3

Great job, Dan. (: I really like the specks of red in this one. I'm amazed at how you could get so much red, and I didn't even know what you used for some of them until I looked at the list of items [ which is good a good thing ]. Again, great color usage and spreading. One thing, I'd say is, that you need some brighter blue/teal down towards the bottom.
Navi-
10.9.8.10.10=47
I love the tiny hints of red you've got all over this avi. It looks amazing, even if some of those reds are mismatched. I would have liked to see the teal of the hair/sash/gloves repeated at the feet as it doesn't seem like quite the right shade down there.

10.9.9.9.10 = 47
This avi is great. The pixie is like a few
shades tints off, but I think that's all I can really say..the feet look funny...
gray:

The layering is very unlike you its just a bit unflattering, your tones of color also bug me theres blue thats bold theres baby blue and then theres teal the teals match but the other ones do not. this really is one of the low points in your colection, my opinion of coarse.

I needed a dramatic finish, and when I saw the hair with the scarf and earmuffs, I felt that gave it the drama it needed. I tried to make the white a little more random and sporratic, like it is in the hair.
Dee -
9.9.10.8.7. = 43
Definitely not my favorite, but fine. Points off because I couldn't tell what item you used. Dramatic, good. Color spreading, good. But I think you could done with a better finish. This is an amazing avatar, but it didn't fit the round.
Navi-
9.8.10.7.6=40
The layering on this isn't my real issue with it... but you'll also notice that I took off for theme points. I did that because (without your comments) I wouldn't have known what EI you were using, if any. It's more centered around the hair than anything else to me.
Xin -
9.9.7.8.8 = 41
I really like the hair, and the avi
is dramatic. Um... the top/head of the avi looks great and then towards the bottom, everything got lighter... More whites and grays.. Should've sticked with [heehee] dark black.

i loathe this avatar
black white and gray for the final round dan?! the layering though complicated i wonce again dont think is flattering. the gloves bug me i think white medical would have suited you better. the whole focus like navi said is around the hair, i dont know were or what the tote is in this avatar and its a poor end to a pretty good colection.

236/250Overall, Dan, I think you did wonderful! Your avatars have definitely improved. Truthfully, at first, I didn't think you were so great, but now, you're one of my favorite tektekers in this competition! You worked with hard to work with colors, and your avatars were eye catching. (: Great job. (:
Navi-
225/250Overall, this is an amazing group of avis. They all looks amazing and I'm deeply impressed with the color scheme you picked to work with. You've really stepped up your game for the final round and I think you deserve to win because of it.
gray:
200/250i like a few peices of your colection but i think that it was a bit of a disapointment, you have a keen eye for layering, and perhaps im just being extra judgmental because its the last round but though i think this colection is better than..... well you know. Its not the best you could have done. you have a good chance on winning.

223/250Dan: You have a great style, and your extreme layering skills never cease to amaze me. Your tekteks have been consistently getting better. Nicely done.
