Both do look good, but entry two is incredible! Really nice work there!

I feel a bit sorry for entry one, it's also great. But what can you do against that second entry! But very good work, both of you.

I agree, the effort and skill put into both images is far beyond anything i could achieve, but the second one has something to it. I cant put my finger on it, but i think it has something to do with the skin tone and background. Thanks for the votes, keep them coming!

I think the first one has some pretty rad stuff going on. I like the delicate background and the sword chained to him. I also like the little bit of thigh that both are showing off...nothing like an elf comfortable enough to kill and enslave his enemies without wearing pants.

I actually remember entry 2 from a while ago. I can't remember where I saw it ... It looks like its artist just added DRAICH into the picture.

Khel: are you saying the work is not their own? Or that it is theirs but they have just edited an old peice. I can tell you who entered the piece if you can remember where you saw it before

Khel · Post by **Khel** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 11:31 am

I'm saying that it is there's but it looks like they've just edited an old piece. No need to tell me who the artist is either (I know who it's done by).

Okay just making sure, i guess there was no rule against editing an old peice...

Nice works here.
Entry one is nice but it lacks depth. The drawing is nice is the color that need to improve.
Did the autor used water colors? I do not think it was the best choice along with ink.
Entry 2 is cool and use a difficult source of light (from behind) that's very difficult to achieve properly.
I remember this image in a old topic and the author told us he used photoshop. Nothing to blame, it's a nice tool, but purist painters like me prefer brushes

@Fulgrim

Sorry, my bad. I was remembering the rules for the short story competition where you aren't allowed to use existing stories and that you must write a completely new story. I got a bit mixed up, that's all.

No hard feelings, eh Drak?

Thanks for all the entries so far! This is pretty one sided, but as anything can happen i am going to continue Voting right through Novemeber! I will get on as close to December 1st as possible to announce the winner.

2 is just incredible. But both entries look really fantastic. Good job both of you!

Okay Voting is closed.... WE HAVE OUR WINNER! Entry 2 seems to have stolen all the votes right from the start, but well done both entrants and thanks for your time and effort!

Mods can now unsticky the entry thread, its been dormant for ages.

Entrants, speak up if you wish to let people know who you are!

Thanks for all the votes, everyone. I think that the first entry deserves a place somewhere in the D.R.A.I.C.H., since A: It's totally rad, and B: They actually bothered to enter.

My vote also goes to entry #2, but must remember to applaude entry #1 as well - I especially like the japaneese mood of the pic.
