Thanks all for playing.

Sorry for the delay in acknowledging this challenge result, and other challenges as well.

I have always had concerns about deliberate voting to manipulate results that occurs by people who tend to vote later in the voting period,

More recently this has started to frustrate me even more and I am struggling with feeling a bit disillusioned. I put a lot of my time and effort into these challenges and seeing voting manipulation and often dealing with other people who complain that they feel it happens too, does wear me down.

I have considered ceasing all Challenges and taking a break hence delay.

Offsetting this frustration, I enjoy giving people different ideas for creation as a change from portrait after portrait.

For now I have favoured towards my enjoy feeling and have decided to keep going.

Apologies to those honest and fair voters.

Thanks for playing. This challenge has now restarted:

Thanks again all for playing this challenge, hope you all enjoyed it, I am always excited by the sense of battle between the 3 L's and wondering who can create the greatest of all this time and which of the 3 L's it will be.

Congrats to someone?? (anonymous) for the win, @Dual-Nature for 2nd place and @CaffeineSpaceman, @argentpanda for both taking out 3rd.
