Please embed your submissions into this thread for Judging.

And we're off! Let the submissions pour in, and the judging begin!

*gasps and gets excited! *

Nessie, it is lovely!

I'm so excited to have the first submission in!!!

Aww! Thanks! actually, that's the wrong picture that I posted! XD I uploaded the wrong thing! the other one that I did, was LOTS better (at least I think so. )

Well then, just switch them out, or add it to the submissions. You can submit as many as you want!

Yay!

Here's my pic, Airi.

Ooh, ya'll are gonna make this so fun!

I love the colors of both of those! I sure wouldn't have thought of doing green and blue.

Hmmm.... I am seeing coloring pieces of the elements in the Art gallery, which are not in the threads.

Make sure you embed your submissions into this (or one of the other three) thread after you have uploaded it into the art gallery, guys. We don't want to miss anyone's artwork for the judging after the 15th!

That's pretty, Shawn! I forgot about black.

*dances *

Thanks to my mama, who brought home a pamphlet (and a new Copic marker!) home from the store for me, I have finally figured out what colorless marker blenders are for! The hooves and horn are metallic bronze.

My favorite water one yet!

Thank you very much!

Nice, Phili! How did you get that raindrop effect in the mane and tail?

Thanks, Celestria! I used a colorless blender marker for that effect. Just hold the tip of the blender on the colored section for a second and it "spreads" the color. Very awesome.

Now I'm going to have to try that with a picture.

*comes in with her arms full of pictures*

My best friend and I got together for the long weekend and spent our time colouring, so we have lots of pictures!

When you try it, post what you come up with, Celestria!

@Philli: Oh my! I knew what the blenders were used for, but I've never tried working with them. That effect is awesome, though! I may have to try that sometime....

@Zoey: Ah! Never enter my mind to do something like that (see why I love this so much? Ya'll are so creative!), but the gradient effect totally captures the essence of water!

I'm glad I'm not judging this contest Amazing work, y'all!

Ditto... You guys are doing an incredible job.

Thank you, Airianna!

wRen... I love your shading/gradient. And your names are neat.

Yeah, I don't envy my job! So cool, wRen!! *dances around *

*faints and cues amazed eru scene all over again*

wRen, again those are amazing, and I love that one, Bushy! I love the wave line I can see on the dark blue.

I shoulda known that rich coloring job was Bushy's, when I saw it in the Art Gallery.

*faints from the awesomeness of all the pictures*

*Bushy's awesome water unicorn splashes water over the fainted Azlyn*

*Is revived* Airi and Celestria, how on earth are we going to decide on a winner?!

*faints*

That is amazing, Twinnie.

There seems to be a lot of fainting happening in this thread! No wonder though, everything is so awesome!

*fainted self nods in agreement*

Azzie-
.........

I have no idea.

I'm thinking the same thing. But between me, you, and Celestria, I'm hoping we can figure something out!

If we close the submissions within an hour we might be able to persevere and... *shakes head* Nope that won't work. Anyone got a plan B?

*giggles * Well, I sent out our judging outline, so hopefully this will help us.

I've been working for... a long time, and I have like.. *counts papers*

Nine submissions ready, and more to come! Now I have to learn how to scan things in....

Hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*looks at submissions and promptly faints*

Unawesome as it is, here's mine. I had fun!

How could you? You colored your Water horsie's body the same as mine! And mine was unique until you came along! Don't tell me we think in sync about COLORING too, let alone writing!

Ahem. Regardless, I love it. I especially like the light and bright coloring of your water.

*can't wait to see Nessie's*

I know, I saw yours and I was all like

Thanks. I love the beach, so it was the obvious idea for me.

*hits Ani's head with the rolled up HW Newspaper in her back pocket *

I like it, so no disparaging!!!!

And yet more submissions via attachment!
