Hey all. Time to announce the winners (!!) of the little contest I was having over here. ^_^ I just want to take the time to again thank everyone that took the time to submit pieces. All of them were great!! However, I only had room for a few. So, without further ado, here are the winners! Yay!

1st PLACE!!

This piece just stood out from the rest as being just awesome to me. The super-clean colouring, the custom background and the little details throughout just made it number one to me. The blue dress just *pops* too. Incredible work here!!


2nd PLACE!!

I loved that this one was completely traditional. The feel of it was just great and the watercolouring on the skin is just beautiful. The little cutouts give the piece depth, and also adds a quirky quality that I like. Love the hair and frekles too. Too cute!


3rd PLACE!!

This one was just striking in how different it was from all the other entries. While most of the pics look cute, this one looks creepy, almost scary.... and it's the same picture! The fact that the outcome could be so drastically different, just by how it was coloured, was just awesome to me. The lighting that looks like it's from a windowblind is also a really nice touch. Nice work here. ^_^

Congratulations to all the winners and I hope that we all had a great time. If you didn't get a place, don't be discouraged. This is just my opinion. Keep rockin' the artwork!!
