  1. Blechhhh to both of them. But if I have to pick one, Rego.

  2. Rego reminds me of Balthus, which isn't good, but I still like her better than Redon.

  4. Redon is mildly charming in a weird way, I think.

  5. I like Redon's non-monster pictures, but not as much as Rego's implied stories.

  6. Rego is one of my favorite Tournament "discoveries." I like Redon, but I like Rego a LOT.

  7. The range of intensity of opinion here is maybe a little more interesting than the range of opinion, but it is the latter that counts (overtly) in the Tournament. And thus Rego wins by a single vote. Maybe my own forceful vote, or the good doctor's tepid one. They're all votes. Rego has six of them, and Redon has five.
