Edmund,
Denilou, Fozt and Lorentz by Karniz!

the four of them. Outstanding
composition, perspective and background.

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.
