Final:

Vote Banj!
So much work done in so little time.
Bunnies that actually look like bunnies!
Beautiful colouring and expression on the pig's face.
A picture full of action and humour that manages to incorporate TWO of the brief's suggestions.
Yes, vote Banj!

Valence!

The expression on that face is wonderful. Nice lighting and texture, and that halo is properly round. It also is nothing like I had in mind when I considered doing the cow.

The voting is over and since Banj is too shy to do it himself, I declare him the winner and ruler of all!

(I guess it figures that an army of bunnies wins over the peaceful cow with no other defense than a pair of pigeons...)

And since the third vote was given by me, I should probably mention that while I loved both pictures, I felt Banjs was both closer to the brief (well, two of them, even) and also I just love what he did there in the background. Which might be a slightly odd reason. But it's a very pretty looking sweepy, sparkly background.

Well Done, Banj!

That was a quality piece of work this month and well deserving of the win.

Thank you both.
