This was a hard one to judge... I loved all of your designs this round, so don't think otherwise!

The coloring is interesting, but I'm not entirely sure what the image is supposed to be of! I'd actually like it better if that text wasn't there, but I guess it wouldn't really make sense without it! I like your design but unfortunately I don't see how it fits the theme if you were to eliminate the text!

I love the detail! My only complaint is that there's so much text in the image... I would have liked it better, and it may very well have been the winner, had it been free of actual words. Scribbles in place of words would not have been as funny as it is now, but it would have given the piece a more artistic feel!

This image is fairly simplistic and cartoonish, but it does a great job getting the message across! The thick black marking covering the suit was kind of distracting, but my main issue with this piece was, like Sal's, that it wouldn't make sense without the text... as humorous as it is, if you have to explain your design using words within the image, the artwork doesn't speak for itself!

Lol, I think one question mark would have gotten the point across just fine... the 3D effect is alright but the rest of the image is a bit plain. The color scheme isn't very interesting and there's way too much empty space... at least an inch on both the top and on the bottom could be cropped off, and it's not centered. It's really just a couple boxes and 5 different colors, if you count black... very basic design.

Considering that you drew this and uploaded it in 36 minutes, it isn't that bad... however, it's full of text! If I were to remove all the words in there, as funny as they are, it would just be a poorly drawn treasure chest.
And now, the winner...
Hectichermit

You were the ONLY contestant this round who did not use text in some form, and you captured the idea amazingly without it! I thought the dark hooded figure captured the essence of the theme the best out of any of the entries this round... my one and only problem with it was that it looked like a hand had been colored in the lower middle area of the robe, but maybe I'm just seeing more than I should!
The new theme shall be Paranoia and the deadline will be Friday, October 19. Salvidian will be the judge this round.
Congratulations to Hectichermit, and great job to the rest of y'all too!
