There. Stupid round, even worse than the last one. I was hoping for some more fun handicaps for this one, but they're still a pain in the ***.[/size]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1]I have to agree with Boo. I was hoping to do something fun for this round if it was going to be my last. Now I'm just dissapointed and don't really care if I go on. =/ I wish you guys could have made some effort and come up with something original.[/SIZE]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Well besides my obvious issues with the dating system of a calander. To any who actually Wish to do so voting is now actually open, I could have done it yesterday but yeah, Didn't want it to get to complicated.

Yet remember the final day for dating is the 14th of this month, so there is no confusion unlike last time...[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[B]Ezekiel[/B] is up first. The words in the picture express the piece exactly. You used the space well, not leaving too much blank and not crowding everything. The bear is cute and slightly sad looking to me, which fits well with the text. The period after innocent bothers me, I think because the other phrases have no punctuation. Just a little thing, but it sticks out in my mind. The tilted heart in between the words and the bear is a nice touch, with the black making it cute and dark.

[B]Boo[/B], I like the fact that you utilized the ability to use animation and all your colors, but the overall feel was too busy in my opinion. The constant flashing does go with "Flashy," obviously, but I think it is a bit much. Looking at it for an extended period of time strains my eyes just a little because of the quick and constant motion of the black and white circles. Apart from that, there is nothing I dislike about it, except maybe the fact that the circles are grainy on the edges.

Both of you did well using almost the same handicaps as last time. In the end, I give my vote to [B]Ezekiel[/B].

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Wooow, be it some kind of odd happening that almost nobody voted in this thing, it still holds still, Ezekiel moves on to The final round.

Oooh wow.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
