Ok..because I won the last round so I felt myself obligated to make an entry...so here it comes.

So to clarify this picture a bit..does anyone remember the old game on Amiga that was called "Magic pockets"? Where the guy threw small tornadoes from his pocket and killed the monsters?

well here he is :P and the monster is quite bad 'cos I couldn't remember how those looked like...if you aren't familiar with the game so google away

C: Okay, judging time, and thanks for the trust, Bronze.
Z: Trust?
C: He said that judging would be in days. And thanks to Thoad for getting me slightly pissed.
Z: Oh. Right. Well, let's get this done, I dunno if you slept your tired away but I still have mine...

Champion's exhibit:
C: JereN

Uhm... Should I know what that is?
Z: Only if you know the game he referenced, methinks.
C: If I go blank stare, it will be okay, right? And no, did not sleep the tired away, slept the grumpy forth...
Z: Oh great.
But nice drawing. I don't know the reference, but it seems creative and all that~
On to the actual placings~
C: Yes...

1st
Bronze

That hand is... Mm, self esteem drop, I thought it had hit the floor years ago... Anyway, a really good drawing, it has pocket, it has... Candy, was it? And an amazingly well drawn hand.
Z: It's pwetty, and the coloured/uncoloured has a nice effect on it~
C: Agreed. Perspective is good, shadows are good, anatomy is good, pocket is very good....
Z: So basically, neither of us were in any doubt with what placement it should get in the judging this round~
C: 'xactly.

2nd
KingRyan

This looks really good too. Simplistic, but... Pockets would be nice to live in.
Z: The background seems to stiff for the rest of the pic, but it's not too bad, and the vector based lines serve the rest of the drawing well~
C: And I just now noticed what the background were > >.... Also: Light gradient towards bottom of pocket?
Z: It's a gateway to NARNIAAAAAAAAAA!
C: Of course.

3rd
Zega

That grin is both fascinating and a bit scary... And jpg-blur is saaad.
Z: Twue. Would have looked better if the - female had gotten some more effort (or maybe just better luck when you drew it).
C: A bit one the thickness of the line, but you know the drill by now.
Z: And rest of entries?
C: Mm...
Crimson.

I'm hungry...
Z: I love Sasquatch's *drool*-face!~
C: Expression in general, yes. Now I think of it, if these ideas got elaborated on a bit, Sasquatch would make a perfect web comic character.
Z: Ttly~<3
C: Would probably make Strop a bit sad, though, since his webcomic project is on hold.

Dudeguy.

I am still hungry.
Z: I'm wondering why there's so much blank space?
C: Curse of the empty space > >....
Z: *nod* Also, the most text reliant entry of the round~
C: Yes... Though Crimson's was too. Anywho.

Owen

Just to be annoying: Marsupials was the creator of the original pockets.
Z: Sure there wasn't some sort of planty pocket before them?
C: Or air pocket *coughcough*
Z: Lol~
But anyway, uhm... Glad you entered, but the (lack of) time spent shows.
C: You will break his heart...

Goumas

... I have no idea...
Z: It's colourful, though?
C: Sadly... Colourclash > >.....
Z: A bit.
C: *nod* Onwards to the end.

Jdogg

*scratches head* Is a sheath... scabbard... thing the same as pocket? Technically, I mean?
Z: I think he mistook his pocket for his sheath.
C: Looks like he violently mistook the pocket for the sheath > >...
Z: Oh yeah. That too.
C: I don't put stuff down my pockets with such a force... Sidetrack...

HardSimse

He loves his pockets... *nods slowly*
Z: Pockets are lovely~
He might wanna be sure to not store lightningrods in them, though~
C: Gutter.
Z: Gutter?
C: As in "Where did my mind go?"... I think I am too tired for this > >....
Z: Yeah... Sorry about that, people who've gotten sleepy comments.
C: The wonders of stuff to do > >
But we are done now? Just needing a them and a deadline?
Z: Yes indeed~
What should they be?
C: Autumn and next Thursday?
Z: Sure^^
C: Not too close to months, right?
Z: Wouldn't think so~
C: Good enough.

Theme: Autumn
Deadline: Thursday 8th

Z: So bye for this round~
