	Hello Collected, Too bad that you didn't spend all your time on one piece and make it better. All of them could use better reference pictures to start with. I prefer the second one with the hand. But again I believe there is potetential in all of them if you had given it time. Give one pixel for instance about 16 hours of time devided into several days so that boardmembers can give you comments before doing another one. Good luck in the future. Best regards from M.E.

	Number 2 rules. Needs work though. It's very messy. The hand needs to be shaded from scratch, it's too scrappy atm. More depth is needed too. The sky looks like a wall. The horizon needs to be higher i think. Er yeah thats all i got.

	I have to say I liked number 2 more when you could faintly see the arm underwater. It was really awesome then. Number 3 I like, but it doesn't really show a location or anything; the guy's walking with an umbrella in the middle of nowhere. Some dark buildings, etc. to give atmosphere would help a lot. Number 1 just doesn't do it for me. The shading and anatomy are kinda wonky and it doesn't really look interesting to me.

	id say number 2, definitely, although you may submit all 3. And i think the advice from larwick and monkey o doom are nice too (Although i think the bg should stay this way, it looks like a wall, but that looks cool imo...

	Since everyone thinks, the second one is my best, then I tired to fix it a little: * 15 colours Please tell me what you think.. - I am thinking of calling this "Hand of God" - Just so you know, the light in the sky is coming out of the index finger.. - I added rain, and fixed some other things.

	Hello Collected, Good to see you try to improve one of the pieces. In case you really want to keep the flash you should make it the brightest of them all. I made some edits to highlight what you could change: - Thumb - Flash - Rinklings in the water - Shine on the water - Make the water not so rough - Make clouds that go darker towards the edge since the flash will give some light. Good luck with the edits. Hopefully you have some time left! Best regards from M.E.

	The water waves don't seem to have had much time spent on them. It might seem like too much work to work on that in more gradually-done detail but it would look a lot better. Also, the background seems very lit up, so I'd put a dark shadow under the hand because the water around that shadow should be much brighter from reflecting that background.

	Collected, the hand's shading isn't good enough... :( It doesn't give it enough shape, form or definition. At the moment it looks too flat. Have a go and i think you'll be happy with the results. Well.. i think i would be lol. Anyway i think this is coming along nicely, keep it up. Make the top of the lightning bolt lighter perhaps. The water's ripples need more form i think. Since it's raining the horizon wouldn't be so flat, the light would dapple and the highlights and shadows would seep. :)
