hmm I come in here today to find a ton of new entries.I need to make sure I didn't miss any of them,but I have to say I believe Gantic has won quite a few of them himself.That or he came close to it.So its not just cenere,Zophia,and cholokid all the time.Remember I won one as well.Although it was sort of a tie,but you get the point.

Gantics won at least two in the past.The themes were "Your Name" and "Food" other then that I don't know if he has won any others,but still I'm surprised you didn't know that he had won any.

yes, but cenere, zoph, and cholo are the regular winners. That was my point, plenty of people who participate have won, but again, they are the regulars (excluding strop, which due to him being overseas I forgot about him).

What about the old regulars...like Klaus and the other guy who I forget his name...AraxNisanu?

Yeh...them...

Maybe not. Maybe we should just draw more pictures about hearts and then keep going.

Brawr. I bring thee teh magical judging of fail. Or something.

__________________________________________________

First place:
ubertuna - Heart Attack

I just smile every time I look at this one. It's funny, it's simple, I wouldn't mind buying a T-shirt with it on... I love it, however vaguely it may be connected to what I hoped would come from this theme.

Second place:
Gantic - Hear It

I see symbolism. I'm sure I'm missing out of some of it, but I see it there. And what I get out of it, I like. Also, nice brush.

Third place:
Cenere - Jack of Hearts

Third place, or "the entry that made my head explode for overload of symbols".
I dislike analyzing pictures, so actual symbolism most often goes over my head. However, I do think there is a very nice composition in this image.

__________________________________________________

It's almost midnight where I live, and my head really isn't working in the "ohhh, let's write comments!" kind of way, so the rest of the entries will only get their - HM and a one liner that may or may not make sense...

B/W image I can't come up with a category for:
slliM - Bullet Heart

Click for full view.
Falling, breaking, disturbing the entity~

Nonplaced lulz:
crimsonblade55 - Sasquatch's Heart(AKA something went wrong)

Well, bell peppers DO seem to have those chambers... *chuckles*

Literal with a twist:
plokkey - Confusion at heart....

Omg, plokkey, I think you might need a heart transplant if you by AG. >_>

One way to disappoint thoad again:
thoadthetoad - scan0016 (also known as something untitled)

Sowwy thoad. Does it comfort you that I still like it?

The stuff I'm still going 'wut?' at:
gameingkid - the grim reapers heart!

Wut?

kingryan - The King of Hearts was tired of having a sword through his head.

Lolwut?

The fluff that isn't an official entry but still gets listed because it's fluffy:
slliM - smilyheart

Fluffy frame is fluffy~

Lol, fail @ title.
You seem to accidently have written a s after the title of my entry. I have no idea why, though.
