*Wow!  Challenge  90. Okay folks, this week's challenge is...

Prehistoric

Entries must be posted in the Final Entries thread by Midnight Thursday 25th September (UK time) - an extra 5 minutes is given after this to allow for time differences, but entry closes immediately after. All entries must be accompanied by at least 2 links to WIP images in the WIP thread to qualify for entry. (Details of how to do this can be found here: http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/thread/107660.aspx and further challenge details/rules can be found here: http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/thread/53757.aspx )

Only posts containing Entries in this thread (or votes at voting time), all other crazy talk to be posted along with WIPs in the WIP Thread http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/permalink/135483/135483/ShowThread.aspx#135483. Voting begins after entry closes and runs until Midnight Saturday, then a moderator will count up the totals and declare a winner. Voting is open to anybody whether they have an entry or not. NOTE: moderators reserve the right to disqualify any votes they deem suspicious and any attempts at vote sabotage/cheating will not be tolerated.

*I have completely copied this format from Banjax's #89 post.    Thank you Banj.

The dawn of man:

Two moderators sit around making grunting sounds and killing Tapiers. Then one day while fabledgoat is whacking things with his bone... a large black obelisk appears from nowhere. The moderators move closer as strange music builds around them, and then... they realise it's time for voting in the Prehistoric challenge and one of them sets up the list.

Below is the list of valid entries for this week. Please cast you vote for up to three of them, clearly stating you favourite 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placed images.

Voting closes at midnight tomorrow night when a mod will count up. Moderators reserve the right to discount any vote considered suspicious or cheating.

(Robbie I added your links for you as you've been struggling to post all day).

Lol, ended up going to a gig tonight instead of finishing my entry, minus brownie points for me! Looks like I'm not the only one that didn't get finished though.

 My votes:

1st Solomon

2nd Robbie Allen

3rd Edart

Maybe we should do a separate challenge at some point called 'Unifinished Challenges', what d'ya reckon. Give everyone a chance to finish those pics that have been lying around unfinished. (I know I have quite a few, and without some kind of deadline, may never get finished lol)
