You sound a little worried about your total # of matches. I understand you're worried about the 50 vs 58. However, your number of lost is very low proportionately. If you had 8 more matches, you would be 2nd if you lost 6-8 matches. Even if you lost 8, you would be 2nd and higher than 3rd. If you win even 2 out 8, you would still be in 1st because you would have 35W/20L. Odds are very very high, based on what you already won, you would have won 4 to 6 matches if you had 8 more matches. It's a good image and it stands out. That picking up the smaller city to munch on is probably what made you win so many matches

Yea its also why i chose this from my other ones. This one showed the eating part. But there was so many other great entries too. And at 50 matchups for the score aside to the rest at 58 meant there was a huge margin. So that was shocking to me.

I really love this artwork, the ominious emergence from a deep dust storm, the turbines and firey furnace aperture give it a living machine type of look. Absolutely fantastic way of taking the concept to the next NEXT level!

lol, Why? It's very cool! Actually I think it's one of the few showing a mortal city eating one of the small towns that didn't get away. That's an important part of their story.

Yea. Im not too worried on the result. I’m just surprised due to the matchups. More surprised than concerned.
