Yeah I'll take a look at the magazines. I think they stopped before Jakks figures came out, no? I'll see.
I could tell which scenes were Bran's except the Porunga because it was blurry and Bran never takes and posts a blurry pic lol
My scenes, Goku and Gohan in armor should have been disqualified because I know I've shown them as customs before, just not major ones. Didn't matter though because it was the worst of mine IMO and lost to Wheelo in the 1st round. My Popo eyes were creative enough that I thought they'd win the 1st round, but it didn't last long. My Frieza vs Spirit Bomb finished last, but I thought it was a little better than that. I actually thought it was going to give PGV's big Yamcha a run for it's money in the 1st round lol but nope. Then my SS4Goku/Vegeta scene was my 2nd best and was the only scene to get me a prize other than Wheelo. As for my best scene, I thought Dr. Wheelo's silhouette was the 2nd best overall behind Hirudegarn at least. Shame I didn't have him painted at that point...

Oh wow the way everyone made the scene stealers sound I thought it was actually some super hard thing to do. It's easier than I thought it would be just A LOT of effort and then a pic. I'll be in the next one for sure might even do what I did as a kid and sculpt the dirt in my back yard into the rocky desert scenes lol. I'd be outside all day playing in the mud and dirt.

If you took 10 minutes to read the rules....you would have known it wasn't that tough.  |

The contest was pretty simple, the rules were just long to read, because I had to say everything you COULDN'T do. Next time we do this in several months or a year or so the rules will be shorter and the voting will definitely be different, because I don't want to do so many rounds next time. |

If you really want to do it like a DB tournament, but reduce the amount of work you do; have a preliminary as the first round. So lets say there's 30 scenes. All of them match up. Allow everyone to pick 8 and the top 8 scenes after 1 week of preliminaries, move on to the grand stage. Then do it like we just did. 1 v 2, 3 v 4, 5 v 6, 7 v 8, then a semi-final, then a final. Seems like the most fair.
If you do it this way, you'll have a grand total of 8 matches for the entire Scene Stealers. To relate, you did 22 total matches in Scene Stealers 4.
OR
You could do it the same way, but have voters pick the 4 best of the 8 in the 2nd round, then the two best of those 4 in the 3rd round, and finally, the best of the final 2 in the 4th and final round. If you did it this way, you'd have only 4 matches in the entire Scene Stealers.

If we had like 30, I think I'd put them all in one poll for the first round. second round top ten, middle ten, lower ten. then third round top 5 from each group if even necessary to figure out what place everybody got.

Awesome work on these scenes, guys. And awesome work to Bran for making it happen. I've been so inactive due to family crap, but I enjoyed all the great scenes and I hate that I missed out on making something for it. I think I liked PGV's Hildegarn the best, followed by Bran's Bulma and Pilaf gang.

Just so everyone knows, I got Bran an extra prize for his Scene Stealer duties. Just wanted to take credit for that.  |

Lol, yes, Adrenaline was awesome and bought me timone's jakks saiyan saga Vegeta body! He said it was a way of thanking me for those 40 to 60 hours making graphics, thinking up rules, fair ways of dealing out the prizes, the stupid video where I picked the names out of a pot, and other things I did for the entertainment of... abouttttttt... 30 voters  I'm not sure I had fun doing that stuff (ok, I mostly didn't, it was like a part time job or worse some days ), but I sure do appreciate how unexpectedly generous you guys are to me. I donate my time because I have a passion for doing things right and I want things to be great, but I definitely feel the appreciation from you guys a lot. Y'all donated to give me an amazing Christmas gift... some of you guys even sent me gifts separately... some of y'all give me bonus items when we have trades... pgv and adrenaline giving me bonus prizes for making scene stealers... gosh. I definitely appreciate it guys. I don't know what else to say except thank you. |

Bran, without you there wouldn't have been a contest, and we'd all still be on the old site because this one wouldn't exist. Thanks for giving us a great contest in a nice new home  …and props to Adam for being a badass. |

I know. It's a flaw of mine. I like recognition.

I made the Goku / Cooler scene. I know it wasn't good or accurate but Bran asked for some prizes so I figured I'd snap a picture. Anyways it was fun, next time I will win and get my prizes back  lol Good job to all of you |

I liked your scene just fine personally. I think what hurt your votes is not having a screenshot that resembled the poses of the characters. I imagine Cooler probably looked like that in a scene (maybe...?) so if you had that screenshot, I think you could have gotten a few more. I was surprised how few you got actually, I thought it was pretty good.

loki it was a very well done setup but as Bran said I think it not matching the scene kinda threw people off a bit.
