OK, with the time running short, i think i can finally make some strictly personal considerations and reveal what i've voted for.

1 - Durthu and spirit friends
really nice idea, maybe the spirit animals were a little too uniformly painted for my tastes.

2 - unused but not forgotten
a great piece, my only issue with it it's that it's too much "clean" and perfectly painted, it doesn't seem abandoned at all

3 - Southland marches
oh boy, that base gives a real feel of mud and dirt. it took one of my votes.

4 - a dangerous marker
not the best model, but cool idea and horribly cute in its own way. i gave it a vote just for the fun.

5 - printed base
i'm surprised by the current standing of this piece, as it was really nicely detailed... to the point that IMO the base is better than the model itself! it would have been my fourth vote.

6 - forest and leaves
the "trunk" is a real piece of wood? because it really seems! another entry that is surprisingly falling behind... maybe the bigger painted leaves were not at the same quality level of the rest of the composition? I'm being really picky here.

7 - snakes of lustria
ah, the good old swarms. Excellent and colourful piece, a nice mix between old models and new ones. Great entry, and i'm not surprised it's ranked so high

8 - lost kingdom salamander
ok, this piece is incredible and by far my fav. of the whole bunch. I'm surprised it's not winning... the splashes in the water, the laying eggs, all the details of the tiny frogs and oxy. A stunning, living base.

 

oh, makes sense. Good clarification!

 

a few hours to go, and there's still a chance for the actual second place to grab the lead!

 

Congrats to @Explodingzeb , another outstanding victory!

Pm will follow

 

I'm sorry man it was really close
