 damn mis-bug, I hope you win this. You deserve to win.

Very nice. I like this a lot :D

great work, from the start to the end. I love how you have selected the symbols of his world; the one-eyed cat, the tentacles, the blood spatter, and (for me) how you have written the letter B with only 4 pixels high, a touch of a Pure Pixel Artist ^^

Great caricature! The use of the colours are excellent.

So great! Among for the awesome characterization, I love the surrounding

Edgar Alan Poe has a very characteristic face and it's easy to get something really good of it.

Nice composition and use of the palette

Awesome!

Cannot add anything new...i like it.

Stylish and the colors look like they were hand picked especially for this piece.

Great use of color and shading. Love this!
