*masquerades as a voter*
1. Radish - amazing work, especially considering the short time we've all had. I do feel it's more "mask" than "masquerade" but that's a wee detail :P
2. Sinistral - lovely masquerade outfit and I love those firey eyes hiding behind the mask
3. Poppylocke - like the idea and it's mostly well painted with only a few minor things (the fingers on the hand on the table and personally I'd make the candle somewhat more substantial). And I didn't realise until now, but is that a red riding hood!?
others:
Cano - great idea and well carried out too. I like the little fleck of blood on the wolf's "shirt"... Bet he's already fooled some other little lambs and the one looking at us suspects it!
Sarah - Nice looking party girl. I think you did especially well on her eyes and the sparkly fabric of her dress
Quetzal - I like this idea, but I liked the darker lines at the back of the heads that you had in your sketch. I also feel that with skull of metal and two faces that seem to be wood and stone, a flesh face seems out of place... I'd have expected yet another "material" or element I think... maybe fire...
Dull - I like the head/face but the rest of this picture mostly reminds me of anatomy studies (nothing wrong with those except they don't much spark my imagination). As a stand alone it lacks context (probably for the lack of background)
Solomon - definately not bad for a last minute thing. I think I'd have liked it better without the "blood rim" - if the face had been more like an actual mask to her skull, and not a piece of flesh cut away. But that's my personal pref :P
I think that's everyone :)
Wasn't all that easy to decide on the top three (well, maybe the top one...) but as always with these challenges its great fun to see all the different ideas that people come up with :)
