I believe this is done by certain people selected by Torm as judges.

Exactly And btw, I liked the Poe as well

Overlord - need I say more?
Arachorb - nice sprite edit, good concept for a mid-level enemy (and I fixed his death state on my copy of the WAD so he drops THAN splatters, lol)
Inferno Demon - a simple (albeit well-done) recolour of Korax, but his Decorate really REALLY shines.

Those are my top three, but there were other contenders as well, such as the Roach - his retreating decorate code could come in handy, and the Lava Wyrm variatns rock too.

You are missing your votes for 6th to 10th rank, please make sure to add these as well.

[ProjectAngel]

Can we hurry this up?

Not to be impatient...

[Tormentor667]

We have a winner!
Finally, the votes from the jury are done and I calculated (twice) the results. But first of all I want to thank all of you for your submissions. I had a lot of fun testing all these monsters and the result has been more than pleasing. Most of these will make it to the Beastiary in the next few days when I have enough time to do that. The Top 10 of monsters looks as follows (where the number in the brackets defines the overall points given by the jury)

• 1st (67) Eriance.Overlord.wad
• 2nd (43) GhastlyDragon.Roach.wad
• 3rd (42) Maelstrom.InfernoDemon.wad
• 4th (32) Jimmy91.Firedrake.wad
• 5th (28) LilWhiteMouse.Swarm.wad
• 6th (27) GhastlyDragon.RepeaterZombie.wad
• 7th (15) Tormentor667.ShadowBeast.wad
• 8th (13) Jimmy91.Aracnorb.wad
• 9th (11) Hnsolo77.Poe.wad
• 10th (10) GhastlyDragon.JetpackZombie.wad

So congratulations to the winners, the Top 10. And thanks also to those who haven't made it (yet) into this list. Keep up your work, try to learn from the winners and let's see if there is another contest in the running year. For the winners, here are the small variants of your awards (the Top3 Trophy GFXs). If you need larger versions, let me know.

1st (67) Eriance.Overlord.wad

Saw that coming.

Seriously, though, it deserved it. It's a damn good monster. I'm amazed my Roach actually got 2nd place, though, lol.
