Special Guest Juror's Message

I have to admit it, it really wasn't an easy thing to choose a single character among all the incredible designs, due to both quantity of submissions and their high quality. 

The artworks of Sam Nassour, Varun Nair and Otto Schmidt for this challenge were all exceptional and equal in my eyes, but since I could pick only one, I decided to choose the work of Otto.
