Make that THREE winners!

Update

We've spoken to Ronimo Games once again and they have decided to award a third vinyl to Sir. Lobsthor by Ceeresnev. As you'll remember from our original article, there were only two vinyls up for grabs initially, and as some of you may have spotted in the comment thread, Sir Lobsthor missed out on joint second place by just one vote from the Ronimo crew. With such a close result it's fantastic to be throw another into the mix!

Congratulations! Awesomanauts, roll out!

Original story

We have heard from the brains behind Awesomenauts and the winners are in! Ronimo Games deliberated and discussed but have chosen their two favourite character designs who's designers bag a sweet limited edition vinyl.

Without further ado, we give you our first winner, Boris the Beard!

This is from zxLYTExz Fantastic entry - the guys loved this on. Following closely with just one less vote (but no less vinyl!) it's Hazard!

Boris isn't bad, but I liked a couple of the others better. I should have submitted something.

Congrates to the winners, Boris and Hazard are very neat. Also It's pretty cool that we get to see what everyone else created. I'm just happy that I got an opportunity to show off my work.

Its good to know the winners didn't need to be amazing at drawing. A simple idea drawn as well as the artist could has won.

Boris is a good winner. I think my second would have been dyingA's voodoo guy.

I would have picked Petunia by MrYes7erday. She has an Invader Zim look and if I had a chance to play as any of these characters I would be her (not that I have played Awesomenauts)

Some really great entries here. A lot of talent floating about the community.

Maybe we should exploit work with some of these talented artists on something for the site.
