I give this place to you because the other ones just creep me out...not making me smile
Not really I just find that if I were to consider the theme that our of all of these submissions I think yours would be closest to a emote smiley that would be used on the Interwebs. I think you could still improve, the techniques you found have really improved your inking/line art but I think now you would benefit from a little practice in shading. I know you like your gradients and the one you used fit well with giving the light bulb a glow but sometimes you can learn more by filing in the colors yourself with a brush tool. I would suggest practicing a 3 tone color theme. The easiest way to explain this is you take your base color, that is what color thing you have then apply a shade color and a lighter color. Determine where your light sources will be by directional arrows can help out. You will want to apply the 3 tone scheme with each base color. Even blacks and whites still have different tones on an an object it is because even in the brightest places will hacve shadows and the darkest places will have light to see something there will be depths .
Runner Up
Renton8
This was a really good submission but what I did not like about it is the consistency was thrown off the cartoon like quality of the mouth and head were a harsh contrast with the eyes and background. I think if you would have inked out the eyes and blood of the drawing it would have taken first easily. May I also suggest what I told MrDayCee that each color in a drawing should have some shading and highlights.
Other Submissions
Nivlac274
A fine smiley Nivlac the improvement from your preious submission is far better but the color is a bit flat, it would benefit from some shading, even a gradient could work if you are using a mouse. Drawing with a mouse can be difficult, I tried it once and was so tough I gave up on it, nice to see you are trying to get better at it maybe you can rival MrDayCee in the near future. he also uses a mouse from what I asked him.

Your submission seems lacking in substance from the last one. It fits the theme well I think what it lack is coolness the text draws more attention then the smiley and the colors seem to be a bit grey/dull. I think using more cool colors would have benefited you, yes there are cool colors just google them B)
ChromeDeathRazor
Run away!!!!! Muuurderer
Well drawn but I think the theme was more towards emoticons so it is horribly tough to take in consideration entries that do not fit the theme. Also the character must have swam in a pool of bloods :P I would think there would be a pool collecting below. Aside from that you might want to look into more horror and macabre genres and see how the blood flows on the surface of the characters, you'd be surprised how much it sticks to them . BTW I fond an evil looking movie called Smiley...it was more disturbing to see that then this X.X
StormWalker
StormWalker I can see you have really good sketching skills but lack any method of capturing them for the internet. As I suggested you might want to learn some basic image editing skills to improve the image but other then that I couldn't place such a strangely intriguing submission in this theme because I think it was aim to be more emoticons. Perhaps we can have a better fitting theme next round since its near the Halloween holiday.

It looked like you copied and pasted things over a pumpkin you drew . I would think that the bat shaped mouth would be glowing similarly to the eye, which are candy corn, though you might want to look at some photos of real jack O'lanterns to see how they really look. Work on some spheres and see how things would wrap around it.
Weirdlike
Smile you are last in my thoughts, :P just kidding I would say that the emoticon was good but the background is bad. Seems like you were trying to make the smiley angry by placing him in a room with lazers. But seriously thats all the consistency is throw off by the background.
So now that round is over can I suggest that the next theme tie into Halloween? Seems like many here want to take a stab at horror/macabre
Final submissions will be due November 1st once you decide on the theme MrDayCee. I will also like to incline that you do not have to post only one image here in the time given, you can ask for help and opinions and anyone will share their thought, I would like to see more activity and I think discussing each others drawings would be a good way to have a progressive competition. Goodluck and I hope to see everyone in the next round.
After reviewing this thread, it appears I just upload here. So... How's this?
Nom Nom Nom Nom...I have seen too many horror movies not to participate, so I'll draw something for the heck of it
Also heres an oldie, way back from one of the first few entries I did for the ASC, dunno if there was an armatar contest back then but I touched it to proportions for one
