CGAN Zodiac Challenge - Libra - Finals

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

The zodiac challenge will aim to run for the entire zodiac year and work with the timescale of each zodiac sign. This is a 'just for fun' challenge, but you will have a lovely set of horoscope images if you choose to take part. Kazky will be the main moderator for these challenges so contact her if you have questions or issues.

We will be sticking to the western zodiac, apologies to other zodiacs
Research each sign and depict it however you interpret it.

Deadline: October 22nd

Each member may cast one vote.
No cheating! Admins may decide to disqualify an entry that does not adhere to the above rules.

WINNER - Valence (see below)

Right, I've had enough of this now. The last few hours have been filled with fiddly little things that have very little effect on the overall image. I think the foot, knee and edges have all improved a bit but some of the issues still remain. It'll have to do though as I'm getting sick of looking at it..

1: Is That A Proper Line Drawing?
2: Clumsy Colour And Grubby Skin.
3: Better Background But Too Much Bloom.

And the "finished" thing...



A big thank you to everyone for their feedback. It has made the picture much better than it would have otherwise been. In fact the good bits are down to you and all the errors are mine. Isn't that always the way.

Good Luck to [strike]everyone[/strike] ... or just me. I certainly need it!

Congratulations Valence, you have again beaten off some incredible competition and... oh, just you then. But a win is a win and you have win, er won. (we will have to make the forum wider to fit your little medal icons in )

*default celebration to go with default win*

No, you should start taking them away from me as punishment for not having anything better to do with my time.

Congrats Valence - maybe not so much on beating the competition, but for hanging in there and finishing and doing your best inspite of being the only one who had time this month.

It turned out beautifully.

Congrats Val,
Personally I think this one could have gone either way, but you managed to steal another win from the clutches of defeat!

Seriously though, lovely work.
