When working on your submissions, if you would like to get feedback as you work or before posting your final image, please post your image to the WIP Thread. People will be popping in to the WIP Thread to give you some critique and advice on your entry and help along the way. Please keep all comments on entries etc to the WIP Thread as well because comments or requests for help/feedback/advice will be removed from the contest thread and merged into the WIP Thread. This thread is only for posting final contest submissions.

For those veterans of the forums that would like to help, because this contest is designed for the beginner to learn from, we will be randomly selecting posts offering helpful tips and/or critiques to receive a special voucher as well so whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, there is fun for everyone!
