My vote: Carlito (aka Carlos)

I like both visions of a simple title "Hellboy's little sister." I like Carlos's very young girl with the family resemblance, and I like Mark's take on more of a lil sister aspiring to her big bro's legacy. I think facial features and face itself I would have to give to Mark based on personal preferences.

But....look at how much detail Carlos got in there in only an hour!!! That's an incredible sketch for only an hour. It's just such a complete vision. It's hardly even a "sketch" at all. Carlos, that piece was incredible.

The best part of it though is I'm now a huge Mark Brooks fan. Mark, if you swing by to read the comments, I hope you'll make DragonCon at the end of this summer, cause I'm planning on it. Great work both of ya'll, and I think this has been the closest vote of any of the Iron Chef battles in my opinion!!

Wow! Carlos really cranked it out. I agree with the previous poster that Mark's sketch is awesome, but Carlos crammed so much detail in just a 1 hour sketch...wicked. Maybe I like it so much because my favorite Hellboy story is Pancakes. My vote: Carlos.

Though Mark has SCAD props, I'm going with Carlos on this on.

There seems to be more of a story behind his piece and not just a theme.

Brooks I love ya' man but CARLOS has my vote.

On first impression, I liked Mr. Brooks's creation better. To me, it was more visually pleasing and the composition is more traditional for comics. I was pushed away from Carlos's creation at first. That lil girl annoyed me.

And then I realized that this was the beauty of the D'Anda piece. It's Hellboy's annoying lil sister in the style of an annoying redheaded step-sister. The detail is great. I get the feeling that he layed the character down and started to have some fun with the details. I love the bow on her tail, the skull ponytail tie, the adhesive bandage strip, and the mallet. The background is great. I only disliked the full grown horns.

My vote goes to Carlos because while Mark Brooks's is a great comic piece, I was won over in the end by the emotional reaction I had to Carlos's piece, the complexity, and the detail. This is one of the better battles, IMO! GREAT WORK GUYS!

I'm digging the one on the left. Carlos's, yes? I like the expressive face, with the big manga eyes. She's cute, but could still pound the hell out of you with the Right Hand of Doom.

I'm voting for Iron Gelato Carlos! I thought his idea of creating a much younger sibling was perfect.
