Both of these artists over both of the artists they tied against! No, that's not allowed, you're saying? Well, this is a tough matchup. I'll swing Zorn.
Zorn
Zorn!
Tissot
Very tough matchup. I'm leaning toward Tissot.
Zorn
Huh, tough choice. I like the second Zorn a lot, great use of light. The others strike me as...not quite finished? Tissot's stuff definitely feels more finished, but maybe *too much* polish. Feels like it would help a lot to see these in person for real. Anyway with those caveats I'll say Tissot.
Susan goes for Tissot.
I copy pfly's vote for Tissot, word for word.
Tissot.
Tissot, without much enthusiasm
Tissot wins the tiebreaker, sending Zorn back to the easel with a seven to four victory. Tissot has a tough one against Toulouse-Lautrec coming up next.
