I want y'all to be as romantical as possible with your pictures this week, I won't be any more restricting than that (other than obviously stay within the site rules, so nothing explicit please).

Character Design Contest ♯106 (TGT- Fantasy) Winner
We finally had a close contest this week, for the first time this year. The top two were within a couple of votes all week (at one point it looked like it could end in a draw). However, our winner eventually managed to sneak ahead and take the win comfortably. And that winner is Linea24 for her A Faeries First Steps into the Sky piece. Congrats Linea and well done to everyone who entered.

Character Of The Week: Candruth- Portrait
Yep, another Candruth one. But this time I'm not actually going to talk about it, and not because I've talked at length about Candruth's shading ability multiple times now. But instead Candruth quite nicely did a time-lapse video of the shading process for this picture, which I think everyone should see. Pay close attention kiddies, you're about to learn a few things.
