Well, I didn't win the art competition, in fact, I didn't even get past the first round! Judging from the comments, the big difference that pushed my competitor over that I could have done but did not, was add color to the image. this is a little disappointing, especially since there was one other artist who had the same idea that I did (combine all the themes in one picture, and he did not add color, and I did not get to go head-to-head with him, and he advanced and I did not. Oh well, life goes on. It was a fun excercize, and I made a rather nice picture out of it that a lot of you seem to like.
In other news, I am back from the Battle of the Nations, and ready to hit the ground running. There will be a few new posts soon, and I will finish up the commissions I left hanging. That means my schedule will be free for more commissions, so send 'em in folks!
