Entry 24
[Paul Doyle] "Attempted Assassination" I wasn't thinking of this contest at all when I finally finished this novel illustration which I started back in February, abandoned, and susequently finished.

[Kyrinn] 'Turned' Second Entry, yay I made it! *boogies* Normally a sweet person, this one turned rather vicious...


Entry 36
[Soul Guardian]/ [xX.//Standing Up From Underneath//.Xx] 'Angel of Darkness'.
In the wake of a blood-stained moon, flies an angel fallen from Grace's bliss;
Her punishment is to claim lost souls for the Master of the Darkness.
For every soul she claims, she cries tears of blood for them;
And on her wrist she wears thorns that painfully remind her of her sin.


Entry 37
[Nightfall]
"Enveloping Darkness" More designed after Takihis (sp?) from DragonLance... I think she's probably more evil than anything... or at least corrupting.


Entry 38
[Eveilber]
"Fatality Whisperer"
I first sketched it, then coloured it in with photoshop 8.0... testing new things out.


Entry 39
[cobi]
"delighted drkness"
i see darkness as a gentle entity, not a violent one. this is my perception, well, it's basicly an angel drawn in penciles, turned negative on PS 7


Entry 40
[raza]
"Real darkness, come into life"
Darkness... If darkness come to life?
First it would be mysterious but attractiv... So a woman. Then, She would wear a dress, because darkness is full of waves... then, she had to have chains... But open chains! Why? Because sometimes, she looks so scary, and people find themselve chained, but that's only their imagination, chains of darkness are open, we just stay in them... and then, we can't see her eyes, because she keep the mystery of her face... She have her hand in the back because we never know what darkness hide... Something good? Something bad? Nothing? Nobody knows... And there are a bit of light around her, because sometimes, from the darkness can come hope, and light... And i added a kind of wings behind her, because darkness can vanish so fast, and come so close... with a little candle by exemple.. darkness all around, but just switch on the light and... Oups, a bit long?? O.O


Entry 41
[Dragonartist]
