Sorry I’m late, 
“Thanks Charlotte for keeping this open a little longer.”
And now to the voting!
Argh!!!
This is hard. Everyone is so unique and has a different style. I do like them all.
So basing this on the following …
1 SchizophreniaWolf: Like the comic style it fits in with the other members of the Enterpond story
2 Valence: This captures the look of the Richardo Montalban look
3 Banj: For the idea of using Shere Khan as Khan with coat reminiscent of the TV series also like the bird skull
AngieA: I liked your use of the new film Khan.
Anyway great job everyone.

1. Kodabble: The retro-style, very cool. I talked about He-man earlier. Nice one.
2. Banj: Not so the character itself but the way its painted, very stable and controled. It could be me but I miss some expression in the eyes.
3. AngieA: Don't like the pose, it is stiff. But I do like the use of textures and special brushes, it is very sketchy and still it look refined somehow. I also think the haircut is very original for an anthropomorphic cat.
Charlotte Ahlgren: I think one week of voting should stay, but maybe send people a reminder somehow. But I also would like a jury of Administrators (Charlotte Ahlgren, Banj and kazky?) that determine 50% of the voting. So 50% vote of the members combined with 50% vote Administrators. So you have more the feeling that the site has bigger say about who should be in the top 3. Just an idea. I don't know

OK, this was a bit more than a week 
But as no more votes seem to be incoming, I've tallied them up, and the result is this:
AngieA 7
SchizophreniaWolf 13
Valence 3
Banj 17
Kodabble 8
And the September winner is... Banj! Congrats!
Some comments:
Valence, I appreciate you voted inspite of finding it difficult. As you may have noticed from others' comments they find it difficult to vote too, but the more people who vote, the better and the fairer the vote. In the old forum when there were few participants and very few voters people would sometimes win simply by not voting and that just seemed so unfair.
(I mean if you have three entries and the other two participants vote and can't vote for themselves, they have to vote for you, and then if you chose not to vote, you basically give yourself two or three points by NOT giving your competition those points. It just seems rude when they were nice enough to give points to you... In my opinion.)
Wolf, thanks for being the only one so far to comment on voting times. I guess we'll let it remain a week then
Regarding the idea that admin would decide 50 % of the vote, we'd really rather not since we do want to feel free to participate in the challenges ourselves from time to time and then such a rule would become very awkward
According to Banj we *might* be able to set up some sort of notification system about voting in the V2 of this forum, but we can't promise anything yet. Though while we only have monthlies, it being a new month should perhaps be a clue?

Congrats Banj., it is a fun image. 
As for the voting; during a prior voting I commented on the lack of votes and asked if there could be a button added to the top bar (or now that there is a display portion for the winners add a link) that could be activated when it is time to vote "Time to Vote". It was pointed out that it was under consideration but that it might take some time, also I can see where it might be a bit complex to make it only active during voting
Anyway think about it...
