Diddy Kong Racing Contest Finalists

diddyfinalists.jpg

It was a late night here at GayGamer castle as we sat up going through all the great entries to our Diddy Kong Racing contest. We managed to narrow it down to three and realized that we just couldn't make the final decision so we are leaving it up to you to pick the winner.

Try as we might, we weren't able to find a decent voting plug-in for our publisher so unfortunately we will have to do voting in the comments. So, this is how it's going to work; after the jump you will find the three finalists, each labeled with a number. In the comments, simply leave the number of the piece that is your favorite. Voting will be open from now until Friday morning when the winner will be announced.

Good luck to all our finalists and let the voting begin!

SephyLove said:

entry #2

arkadin said:

number one.

Essex said:

I'm going to say entry 3. The other two are very orginal and look fun but 3 looks like it has more... I don't know... effort perhaps?

You can see the lines that go into making Diddy there and it also is very child like and fun much like I imagine the games are (I've never played dk racing)

the first one while interesting is Donkey Kong, not Diddy, and is more a photoshop piece.

The second looks amazing but it also looks like it was maybe made with a computer... I don't know I just don't see the hand made look that three has.

So make mine 3.

I vote for #1. All three look good but #1 seems to capture the essence behind Donkey Kong...

Fuzzy said:

I didn't choose that one immediately, but it won my heart once I looked at Diddy's hand more closely... >:D

Jason said:

Patrick said:

#1 gets my vote. Looks great.

peteypuke said:

#2 heh. heh.

Kevlar said:

#2

VR said:

#1 without a doubt. DK + M.C. Esher = orgazm

only number 2 gives a nod to the game and takes it to another level.

#2 all the way!

Ian B. said:

#2 for tig freaking out xD I still wonder what his game would've been like if it had ever been produced.

purin said:

Hands down, #2 for the win.

andybear said:

it's got to be # 2 poo throwing is sooooo cool and should be in the game

killerbear said:

#1! nice job!! ^_^

SuperBunny said:

#1 definately. The setting has nothing to do with a DK game admittingly, but you can tell the artist put alot more work in it than the other finalist.

zytroop said:

2 FTW

Pirate Prince said:

#2!! who can say no to fecal matter? :P

LinkLover said:

#2.. for the #2.

tiny dancer said:

This is SO hard. They're all so different, it makes picking one over another almost arbitrary...but I'm gonna go with #1 because I'm a nerd and an Escher fan. But I give props to poop, big time. Tough call.

#1

Hanjo said:

#2 for me - was a close decision, #1 is gorgeous, but it's donkey kong and not diddy kong - and #2 just captures the feeling of a fun-racer with unique weapons far better than #3 ;-)

The Tek Guy said:

As if it needed another vote: #2 it is, fabulously twisted!

John said:

Entry #3 ROCKS!

Paul Nolan said:

#1, although they're all pretty different making it hard to choose...

Terrell said:

They're all great, but I'm going to go with
#2 for pointing out the dangers of giving monkeys go-karts

Rand said:

I vote for entry #1! Very cool pic! :-)

dirty peet said:

I vote for #1

Nick said:

#1 is my favorite.
Isn't it a Diddy Kong Racing contest though...

Ratigen said:

#1 all the way

Savvy said:

Number 1 (one) makes me wet.

fatty said:

1!

IntrepidHomoludens said:

All three are great in their own individual way (fun artwork, guys), but I vote for #1 because it's the wittiest in concept - imagine an Escher type world as a platformer and an ape as your avatar!

And girls who like girls who like rumble packs!
