Spoiler for Sagasu:

This time around I'm going to offer some thoughts rather than a vote + quick comment.
Toxic - I've seen better from you. This one feels rushed, and not as polished as your usual drawings. It's like you started with a good concept but weren't quite sure how to follow it through. Sagasu - I felt blinded by the sunlight when clicking the spoiler tag. Such a rush of color to my eyes that when they adjusted I was drawn into the picture. I think of the three entries presented, yours captures the feeling of grandeur the most, and it's the one that has my vote for this month. Cierra - I saw this one in your thread, and I like it just as much now as I did then. The attention to detail, the line work, it's all very very good. Unfortunately I had to pick and I could not choose yours because it felt more peaceful than grand. I do like it very much though.

Sagasu's hit the nail on the head for the theme of "grandeur." The bright color shocked me and her stance and gaze into the distance really struck a chord. You got my vote
Good job to others as well~

I guess I'll comment.
I voted for Sagasu, it fits the theme the best and had the best artistic value. Cierra's although pretty, its just a character portrait, completely irrelavent to the theme. TT, Always loved your works, and this one is no different. But, this feels a bit more morbid and lacks polish, although I know its because you had to leave us awhile due to work so you rushed it.

it's a bit of funny cause i really had no idea that my sketch has passed through the second phase. Cause of all the arguing for the arguing i said i want to remove my sketch but looks like they forgotten it.
Anyways,thanks everyone for the votes so far and good luck to the other 2 contestants. @ganbaru It's not a he >.>

NOTE: Due to poor interweb connections (I missed voting phase 1), I'm going to write about all 3 entries.
For my final vote, I went with Sagasu's. It seems to fit the theme best, out of the three. (Also, the bright effect seems to amplify the feeling for me) As for TT, yours fits the theme fairly well, but I feel like it deserves a different category than grandeur. Mayhaps, "Epic" or "Apocalyptic". Also, the shading gives it an edge over the others. And for Cierra, The drawing is extremely well done, very crisp and defined/detailed. The lack of effects give the picture a better feel. That being said, I don't think the picture really has anything to do with the theme. And thanks to all who voted for Keikun and my work. (I sorta took too long, so we had to submit the sketch instead of a clean copy.) |

As for TT and Cierra, good work but in my opinion, the piece do not feet the theme
