Congratulations on the AG win, Buizel! You really captured the Wraith look there, and that menacing expression is great!

Submitting this thing. It's by no means my favorite painting, but eh. It's something.

Those are very good, Cathy, it is sad that they got rejected. And yes, it is a shame about the filesize limits but what can you do? By the way, spoiler boxes can be created by using the following code <spoiler> Your thing here </spoiler>, if you replace the < with square brackets. Also, just as an added note, you could replace the with the code for the images to show up up in your post.

Cathy, those are seriously awesome. Really love the vivid green and magenta/violet glows you've got going on in the first one, and the shapes and attitude of the second. I'd recommend resubmitting; you might get in for a random day. You definitely deserve to!
Dju: That's a really cool atmosphere; I like how all the tendrils of mist are coming off the Lupe as he comes at you. Good luck!
Nat: Good luck! It's neat to see a Pteri drawn more like a regular bird.

Thanks, I think I will resubmit my Jhudora pics, just so I try and get something from the hours put in. It annoys me that entries I put minimal effort in are put in the Gallery and ones I actually don't. Art that actually got in: The shopkeeper from the Neovian bookshop: A magma ruki. This is the actual size of the picture when I paint. Chia day entry.

Yeah, that would definitely be annoying. I unfortunately have no idea what the art judge's criteria for selection is, except that they seem to have a preference for humor and they try to take stuff from various skill levels, but I definitely think it's worth a shot to resubmit. If all else fails, you can always post the pictures somewhere else for people to see (like on an art site like dA or a blog). Also, I remember seeing all those pictures in the AG! I really like the color scheme and shapes in that picture of the bookshop keeper, and the one of the Chias is a really charming idea. The roughness actually helps get that painted look across. You work on AG entries at a much bigger scale than I do, heh. My AG stuff is always just doodled on a 1000x1000 pixel canvas. But that's mainly because my Neo cartoons are too simple to really warrant much else.

Not my best piece, by far (I didn't even add a shadow. -facepalm-), and there are four other pictures with Baby Tonus in them, but I'm sorta' glad it got in. I wish they would have taken my Valentines entry over this, though, but it's a lot better than the judges' love-hate relationship with my submissions. |D Spoilers hate me. ouo

Let's be honest here; I'll probably never finish this. I never finish my drawings. I kinda like this one, though, so I'll put it up here in case anyone wants to see it.

Ones that got in since my last post: ^ I never pass up a Mortog joke if I can help it. (I was even going to do a follow-up for Valentine's Day, but I ran out of time.) ^ I was never quite sure why this got in, but it was pretty fun trying out a more graphic illustration style. ^ This was pretty rushed. I wish I'd spent more time making it look nice, but I thought I only had a few hours left to submit. (Then it turned out I had a whole weekend. Doh!) ^ This got in despite my initially sending the wrong file that was badly cropped; the judge was nice enough to accept the second submission instead. ^ Do people still remember this game? I had a blast drawing this, but it must look completely bizarre to people who don't get the joke. xD; ^ I got a really good response from this one! That was nice, since the idea was one of my favorites myself. -- Ones that didn't get in: ^ This was really rushed and I'm glad it didn't get in. I don't like the colors or her legs. One of these days I'll draw a decent picture of Illusen... ^ This was a reworking of a really old AG submission by the same title (though it looked completely different)... I could have pushed this more. Guess I'll resubmit later though because I always liked the idea. Maybe I'll touch it up in the meantime. Annnd just submitted this for Grey Day:

I submitted this yesterday and it got in today. Not exactly a new piece though but I'm still super excited as it is my first time in the AG.
