Winners of the nightmare contest

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 17, 2013, 7:54 PM


LEVEL ONE

From :iconnaradjou14:
Title: Nightmare Attacks

This one has the most interesting concept and was rendered quite well for a level one entry.


LEVEL TWO

from :iconmedulla-oblongatta:
Title: Apocalypse  
The use of blood can be tricky and overdone but this piece has the right amount to get the point across. Everything was well blended, giving it a great cohesive appearance.

from :iconfaryewing:
Title: Death's Bride Beckons  
A good grouping of several nightmarish elements that draw in the viewer with the beckoning bride.


LEVEL THREE

From :iconanne-wipf:
Title: Nightmare.
I love the tones and the flow of this. There is action and suspense in this piece. Its a great interpretation of the contest and except for the skill level everything is perfect. Anne I moved you up a level because this piece really shows your skills. Love it.


Everyone did a fantastic job and we had many entries. The group is growing and you all kick ass.
Thanks for playing with us.
