SAMURAI DUELERS' LEAGUE'S NEXT TOP MODEL

<sub>At long last, the end to SDL's first ever Top Model Competition has come to an end. We thank you all for taking part in the tournament and hope you all enjoyed the run as much as we did.

Now cutting to the chase, I'd like to announce the Third and Second Placers an then finally, the winner, and first ever Top Model of the SDL.

In Third place we have =thejohnsondesign's Chikane.

=thejohnsondesign did a magnificent job on pose and coloring, though unfortunately you do not see much super-stardom in this picture. Though we know that Chicane is not a person to be a star, or bask in fame, it would have helped to have at least maybe some fans, or admirers watching him, instead of having him stand in a lonely landscape. The image didn't connect to the theme as much as we felt he could have portrayed, given how much we've seen from the previous rounds.


In Second *AshleyLange's Foreigner.

*AshleyLange always surprises us with unique ideas. Well executed and creative, we think she deserves second place. Ashley keeps a fresh aspect of surprise with her unusual way of thinking, but we feel like it could have been better integrated into the competition seeing as this is the final round of the competition.

And finally, our winner and SDL's First Top Model and the winner of our Competition, =Marcks's Kusanagi.

By unanimous vote, we believe Marcks hits the nail on the head with his entry. The details of the topics on the magaizine further emphasize his position in the society, he's a famous yakuza, whom many people look up to in both fear and awe, it doesn't get more fabulous than this! His entry is funny, sexy and elegant at the same time, and he just exudes 'Superstar' in his entry.

Congrats to every one! You all did an amazing job and we hope this competition has been as fun and beneficial to you as we hoped it would be.

You can note this account with all your specifications of your prizes as soon as you've descided on them.

Thank you all, and good night!</sub>
