Sorry I've not got round to voting these last few months, loved March's competition quite leftfield.

1.JonGibbons - Shore of scum sea (cold harsh image)
2.animes2058 - Undercity (loved how it was empty)
3.Jon - Grand hall of justice (vast and lovely MC1)

HM. Allied72 - Cursed earth settlement (funny and full of characters)

[Albion]

I see that my piece is "Shako in the artic".
I'm sure I didn't draw a polar bear driving a large lorry! 

[Fungus]

The ones that felt right to me in one way or another:

1  amines2058 - Undercity
2  Pictsy - Big Meg
3  Colin_YNWA - Space

As surmised on the original thread, I'd have been better stating 'from photo reference' than
'photoshop'. Confusion my fault, oops. Original thread locked so thought I'd clarify here.

Thanks to CrazyFoxMachine as ever. Participating in this is one of the highlights of my month.

Tough. I could choose 6 first places without any deliberation.

1. Archie - Deadworld. Just gorgeous and tactile. Would happily hang it on my wall.
2. Jon - Grand Hall of Justice. suitably epic. Love the shape of the whole structure.
3. JonGibbons - Shores of the Scum Sea. Strangely peaceful.

HMs - or my other number ones as i think of them.
Hoagy - London. Looks like the whole place is carved of fog.
Mimikeke - incredible use of colour and minimal shapes to suggest a world.
Pictsy - stark but beautiful.
SKD - your inking  is incredible.

Thanks to everyone who was kind about my effort. Roll on the next comp!

I've just noticed what are clearly magic mushrooms in SKD's Land of the Young.  Absolutely shocking.  Scratch this drug-addled junkie from my number 2 spot.
[spoiler]Actually I'm tempted to put him at number 1; but I've made my decision.[/spoiler]

...and dracula 1 Woodland. Very Frazetta.

It is, isn't it? I thought that, and then reasoned that the "Frank" signature was swaying me. It reminded me of a very specific piece, but a search for it turned up nothing, and so presumed I dreamed the whole thing. Or, more likely, was distracted by something shiny.

Thank you. I'm probably not going mad.

These are actually the inedible Conocybe tenera (Brown Bell Caps) which are very similar looking to the poisonous Psilocybe semilanceata (Magic Mushrooms) What possible use could the druids have had for mind altering fungi?

 I believe that this has been one of the hardest months to judge, with so many quality entries again. I've been changing my mind even as I'm writing my votes...

1. Jon – Grand Hall of Justice.  A superb image with a great choice of colour. (I love the red/orange going into the blue of the sky.)
2. Archie2 – MC1. A masterful use of light and shadow.
3. Jon Gibbons – The Shores of the Scum Sea. An excellent, well executed composition.

HM. Albion. allied72. Hoagy1. Mike Carroll. mimikeke. All worthy of a place in the top three.

Again, I think all the entrants are deserving of praise for their sterling work.

Stew.
