Woo, both finalists ended up submitting, thankfully so now here's voting for Challenge 4! This is the last time everyone will be able to vote in this community so let's go!

By the way, weird voting schedule because I'm pretty busy this week. Just yell at me on this post if results aren't up by Saturday.

VOTING RULES:
- Voting closes on Friday (Oct. 10) @ 10AM CST.
- Shishido Ryou and Kobayakawa Sena cannot vote in this challenge.
- Vote for your favorite icon in each battle based on overall technique, not personal preferences (ie. voting for an icon because your favorite character/color/etc. is on it).
- Comments are not necessary, but votes that have critiques will be worth twice as much as votes without crits. That means you must give a crit for all the icons you voted for in order to have your vote count as double.
- Please make sure crits are about why you chose the icon you voted for and NOT why you didn't pick the other icon!! If your vote is about the icon you didn't vote for, it will be counted with normal points.
- Anyone can vote! You do not have to be a member of the community.
- Please use the following form to vote. Replace the #'s with the icon numbers you want to vote for.

Final challenge icons here! )

Please double-check your numbers before you comment, and look at each icon carefully! Good luck to the finalists and have fun voting to everyone else!!
