1. zamiel - One of the most creative and originative pieces I've seen to date. The creature itself is a masterpiece of ingenuity and originality. Then carrying onto the actual topic itself, the background amazingly compliments the creature, and vice versa. The contrast of colors and mixture of light and dark seem to blend, yet stand out, very nicely. It's an overall pleasure for the eye's. Beautiful, truely beautiful.

2. Level 60 Orc Ninja - Amazing contrast in colors and values of what you want to exentuate and what you want to stay on the perimeter of the vocal point. First started off with a nice, dark color to bring up a sense of "closeness" to the actual area in the field of grass and tree's. Next, the grass takes on a cloudy-texture to give the effect of moving away. To the sidee there is the tree, the lone tree in the midst of a field. The brilliant use of colors give way to vivid-detail, yet leaving the viewer to interpret it however they see fit, details that change from one to the other. In the middle of everything, there is the blurry centaur, standing on a rock. Overall, the fast-pace style of brush strokes gives off a unique look.

3. kool-ka-lang - Great concept, the humor definitely is a refreshing sense to the image and topic. The rendition is very well done, as it's a theme of partying with nature (and those whom inhabit it). Some angles could be worked upon, but overall it's very nicely accomplished.

4. Shirou-chan - I'm a sucker for Lion King, what can I say. Also, the coloring is exceptionally carried out. The lineart is nice, though there are a few spots where it could have been eliminated to ease the effect of it (ie: a smoother transition between the mountains and stars to blend it moreso); there are also area's where lines could have been strengthened to exentuate the vocal point more (ie: the tree's, as they're closer and shouldn't blend too much with the background).

5. Inu123 - The conception of this art piece is nice, but it just didn't seem to fit too well to the topic for this week. Some parts seemed a bit hastily done, but then there are spots that look fantastic and dazzled with detail.

1. Zamiel: Props for an absolutely ridiculously hilarious concept. I really like the colour choices. They are very warm and comforting which fits into the mood. Amazing for speed painting as well.

2. Inu123: Excellent concept here and quite unique compared to the other entries. It immediately makes me think of nature as aggressive and powerful (as well as Warcraft :wink ). I'm not very fond of the pencil types you've used for some of the areas especially the spikes on the vines. They are thicker than it should be and gives it too much of a flat look. It is also sort of messy as it goes down which detracts too much from the quality of the drawing. Very good concept.

3. Sieg: Concept is very weird thus it fits into this week's theme quite well. The drawing is very clean and original. I just think there's something missing to this that makes this not very appealing namely colour and a background. Good work overall.

4. Shirou-Chan: I personally have a grudge against fanart but your piece seems pretty good in terms of composition and arrangement of things. The focus is very clear to Simba. The concept is also quite nice with the sky contrast. However, I am really finding the colour choices hard to swallow and the shapes of the scenery objects are a bit bland and unproportional to Simba (the trees are... really small or thin). Overall, good piece.

5. Kool-ka-lang: Pretty "wild" right here. It is a good abstract like what your mind think of when you hear "WILD NATURE" immediately. The ideas are flowing like mad in this one. However, the anatomy is off and it seems a bit too abstract for my liking. There is no clear focus of where I should look and leaves the eyes going all over the place. I also would have removed the guy on the bottom right because he just doesn't fit in. Not bad but it seems a bit... doodlish more than a sketch.

1- Orc - i mean , come on :D , i love this ... it feels like a picture from a fantasy game booklet or something :3 , nice neutral colors that give is a very nice "right before dawn" look , the only thing that buged me a bit were the hight light son the tree thats the closest to ....well us, the contrast feels weird, but the awsomeness of the whole pic makes me forget about it .
also as a side note, the 1st entree rocked just as much , i loved the sky and the mountain in the BG .

2-Sieg - awsome lines, so clean and smooth ...<.< it makes my line work hide in shame. i love the character, your not sure if he/she/it its trying to give somthing to the bee or luring it in ...like a venus fly trap >:] , wich would rock lol , but the lack of color makes it too 2d and in a way lifeless :[ . but like i said the lines make up for the lack of color.

3-Kool - awsome representation of gaia.

4-shirou - nice colors, simba is cool (although kimba pwns him) , overall a nice pic.

5-inu - night elf esque gaia look good ...good detail of the character it self...but the bg fall behind when compared to her.
