After deliberation further on the issue of the special prize, I have decided to award the Judge's Favorite to...
Nomad Rath.
All of the pieces had a lot about them that were very aesthetically pleasing, but Rath's shading skill and the strong pose of Jezebel, combined with small touches like the blood splatters on her thighs and calves, really make it fun to look at it. It's imposing and I know I've said before that I like how he shades skin.
Congratulations to Nomad Rath. You win a
Demonbow.
