Less than a week for the news to spread and people to get their submission in? What were they thinking?! About the semi-finalists from top to bottom:Toxicman.EXE - Really lacks character, given his namesake. This is scary coming from a veteran cartoonist how I know has produced some truly amazing character designs. Plus it bears a dubious resemblance to the Hanmuru Doll from Mega Man Legends.Tikiman - A nice idea and vivid colouring, but the design is a just too basic. It really needs a bit more thought and effort put into it.Sound Man - This one could have been great, but it&#039;s a design that really needs to be seen in colour to appreciate. The chest and head have some motifs that are difficult to discern as it is.Emoti-Man - Oh God! This is the spawn of every user who drowns his forum posts with emoticons, thinking it&#039;s cool. Smilies and shorthand have no place in a Robot Master. Begone!Lucky Man - It&#039;s Tango. But brown. Next!Cross Edge - Someone has been playing too many RPGs. Perhaps next time, Andi P should switch games and design a character that actually fits the part in the Mega Man series. The world has enough generic fantasy swordsman as it is.All in all, while I&#039;m disappointed at the results, I would say Sound Man is the best of the bunch. I feel it has the most potential if Phil G. would spend more time with it and produce a fully inked and coloured version.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t believe how bad the semi-finalists are, though I think it has something to do with the contest&#8217;s ridiculously short deadline.
