Sorry for the lateness on my part Heres the judging
Round Winner:
Laspa
I think that a sunset is a good representation of Summer, mostly I have alot of memories fishing and watching the sun set over water. Though the textures or the sky and cloud are very similar you might want to think about defining the water with a few sharper waves. Also the sun is a little high in the sky for the warm dusk/dawn color, just something to think about.
Runner Up akshobhya
While its a good image and that you took something before and adopted it to a different season the changes were minor at best, Might want to think about how you could improve it, perhaps a 3 tone shading technique to give the character more roundness. Even cartoons use more then a solid color. If you want a good example of what to look at try Adventure Time, I find some of the sequences there really cool in just the use of color. Another thing to look into is Anti aliasing for your line work
I won this round. It is the first time, so I ought to receive the quest and the merit. akshobhya participated in the round, I think that he get a merit too.
@Hectichermit, if you would, please give us more time. I too am doing a piece of art but finding less time. So, it would surely benefit us if you extend the deadline!
