    Great subject ZephyrA. That was a fun one.  I'll have to do it again sometime soon.  I saved it at 72dpi so I hope it's big enough.

    Wow amazing pieces all

     

    1st  Daruma –   loved the concept  (I would never have thought of that)  love the palette and the composition.

     

    2nd Ni Anluain – I really like the gargoyle type statue creature again love the palette also like the branches slash roots in the foreground.

     

    3rd Blizzard – Love all the detail (that’s an insane amount detail),  also really like the composition even though there is so much detail your eye is guided and you don’t get lost in the picture.

     

    Honorable mention-

     

    ZephyrA- I have no idea how you composited those pictures together so seamlessly

     

    Zubasa- loved the atmosphere and the colors and technique on the water

     

    Rey- the mushroom  guy is great it brought back memories of an old B movie (see the link)  Mantango (1963) trailer  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVyRYjJoZfc

     

    Cano – great detail in the fur, leaves, and hand

     

    Sonofwolfhound3 – great lighting palette and  I love that impressionistic nature of the piece (also a great idea another one I wouldn’t have thought of.)
