Feedback
(in no specific order):

Fozt by Ichtys
Comment: This is a very strong and emotional illustration, a great capture of Fozt - the details in the lineart is also incredible. The contrast of black and white in the composition does alone give a lot of meaning in this piece. Great work! Thanks for participating!
 Lorentz and Edmund by LilyHeartless
Comment: The way you draw these characters makes them shine of personality - it's a true gift you have. The posing is also something that explain a lot about the characters, which is truly admirable. We truly like this piece~ Thanks for participating!
Tova, Lorentz and Merleva by Keirea
Comment: This is the perfect and inspiring family portrait of the Skifvall family - it's really impressive. We like how you have compositioned each of the characters, and the fact that you added Shout-Machine (the bird) is very much appreciated! Thankyou for participating, and for sending in this lovely piece~
Edmund by Lupinsansei
Comment: A very impressive piece - we truly like how you have taken the huge step and courage of portraying Edmund in his "other-self" in this contest. It looks fantastic! The inverted colors adds a lot to the "dark/mysterious" feel. Lovely work! Thanks for participating!
Merleva by Lojanic
Comment: Your coloring style is very impressive - the peaceful expression makes a great montage of Merleva's personality together with the lovely sky. Also, the spacious composition works very well in this piece. Great work! Thanks for participating!
Rosita by Lojanic
Comment: We love the fact that you choose to draw Rosita too! She is very hard to capture (even for karrey *cough*), but you did an excellent job. The choice of colors and shade/highlight tones is great, suits her perfectly. You draw Rosita awesomely! Thanks for participating!
Tina by Beachbead
Comment: We truly like the fact that you decided to present the character with all the subjects and matters she likes in this way. It makes a truly interesting drawing and montage. The cat is supercute, and her posing looks great. Thankyou so much for this piece and for participating~

Thanks everyone for participating. It means a lot to me! I will most likely include your work in the coming prints of my comics (at least those of you who said it was ok to use your work as guest illustrations). Your illustrations are also available for viewing at the official homepage of Försupen!

Until next time!

Much love,
Karrey.
