Wow. That one is beautiful. I really think the entries in LMS 2 have all been stellar. I've been a member (occasionally active) of conceptart.org for years and these thunderdomes are always so enjoyable to see. It's also been wonderful to see the industry support you and others provide there to those of us striving toward greatness!

well i think it's clear who you're voting for.

Irene Gallo said...

Ha! Yeah, you caught me but, really, _all_ of the entries are great..Shelly's is just the greatest.

I sent Cody my votes saying that first place was easy but, "after that, it gets real hard. I love all of them and choosing one over the other is a matter of splitting hairs."


Real tough to judge. Anyway...Kudos to all the boys and here's to hoping that the last man standing is, in fact, a woman!

Wow!!! The background reminds me of both James Jean and Jon Foster.

Ben Foster said...

Shelly simply nailed it on that image. She took that Jean/Foster "flat" backgound and rendered figure and then went and made it her own. The war fan composition really knocked me dead too. That said, I can understand why you struggled with anything after first. This competition was tough.

Thanks for posting this Irene, and thanks as well for all of your support as a judge. Couldn't have asked for anyone better!
