Comments on your drawing:
- I picked this file, as although not as busy as a lot of the other entries, it clearly stood out on a page of already incredible imagery. I loved the fact that the artist handled the theme a little differently, and chose to portray the farm at night. The scarecrow is just such a great character, and the lighting created by the artist is what really catches the viewer's attention. Beautiful, and well thought out work that results in a truly amazing piece of artwork
- faultless execution
- amazing attention to every detail is this beautiful fall farm scene. I think this scarecrow could be an actual Halloween character because he has so much personality.
Comments on some of our other entries

- great colors. idyllic. Nice style here. One can almost feel the warm fall breeze floating across the air.

- Wow! Where to start with this entry... it is an absolute masterpiece in my eyes, and the creator has managed to capture humor in what one would presume to be a fairly mundane job... harvesting carrots. The expression captured on the man's face is priceless, and I just love the chicken staring on with all her little chicks. Completing the scene we have a detailed farmyard scene, which contains many individual usable elements, making this not only a fabulous illustration, but also an extremely useful one. Impressive work!

- This is the most unique concept and I think the style perfectly suits it. Beautiful work.

- Creativity at its finest - the concept here is so clever and i love the rich, bright colors chosen. Humorous and creative - I can almost hear all that hen talk!

- I was particularly drawn to this file because of the beautiful color palette - the artist has very carefully chosen a palette that evokes a rustic feel, which is in perfect harmony with the illustration style - A lot of little details in here too that you need to zoom in to appreciate. Gorgeous.
- so quiet and dreamy

- This one has a great feel to it even from a distance, the heavier black border on the central figure really makes him pop, and I love the idea of a Farmville video game.

- This is probably one of the more detailed entries in the challenge, and you really have to use that zoom tool to appreciate all the work that went into creating this. The animals throughout the scene are adorable and the scene as a whole is exactly what my mind conjures up when I think of the term "Down on the Farm". Really great file.

- This one just strikes me as wine label or a flour bag label... it's so graphically powerfull amidst a sea of color entrees. And I think it's one of the few that shows the "working" of a farm, instead of just things on a farm.

- Outstanding work in this file also - what really captures my attention is its uniqueness and the gorgeous palette used. The rich earthy tones are exactly what the theme calls for and it enhances this fabulous work of art. Really, really love this illustrator's style.
- onza's portfolio will blow you away if you haven't yet peeked in there, you won't know where to look! If they continue to enter the challenges, I'm sure it won't be long before they win.

- from a new guy on the block who's caught the atmosphere of the scene perfectly

- The colors and patterns in this one are so "warm" and charming. Even though it "zooms out" on the theme, you don't lose any of the hope of it. That whatever is grown on this country side is going to taste great, or be rich in flavor.

- Another absolute favorite, for its simplicity and color palette again. I find this artwork very whimsical and very appealing and the artist has very cleverly created a beautiful image that although fairly simplistic in nature, is extremely eye-catching and appealing due to the palette and well drawn shapes. A very pleasing file that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Nice work!
- this is so simply put together it's exquisite

- I love the old fashioned feel this one has and the warm colors.
