Winners and NEW Challenge!

Greetings Castle Folk...

This journal is doing double duty, to both announce the winners of the "Goddesses Both Mythical and Imagined" AND to announce our next challenge "The Seven Deadly Sins"  (because this journal is fairly long, details for the new challenge are in the next journal-stay tuned)
First let me say how pleased I am that so many entries were submitted. As I sought to select winning entries I found myself vexed as ALL of the entries were outstanding! So, given that it's my prerogative to award all- each participant is receiving points. The "winners" defined themselves because not only were there works outstanding, but the descriptions of the goddess rendered were informative and complete. On another note, for those non English speaking players-a translation included in your description is much appreciated. Well done everyone! So here we go:

Awarded 100 points donated by Exclusives stock, Features and llama from
"Artemis"

This artwork depicts the very vision of the Huntress, Artemis. The stock model choice is excellent The blending of the many elements and darker, stormy palette really create the mood. Elements are nicely blended as well. What puts a "cap" on the piece is the detailed information included on who this goddess is. BRAVA!

Awarded 50 points donated by Exclusives stock, Features and llama from
"Tribute to Freya"
by



The artist has created a lovely, wintry scene of this Norse goddess whose gifts include: fertility, love, magic, sexuality, vegetation and healing. I find the inclusion of the polar bears a unique addition to the work. All is well blended. Nicely done!

Awarded 50 points donated by Exclusive stock, Features and llama from
"Diosa Athenea"
by



I dig how the artist has included many of the elements that Athena is associated with governing, all done in an ethereal fashion as would be in the heavens. The stock model is a good "fit" and not overly used in DA. The palette is a good one for what is being created here as well. Great blending too. Good job!
