I don't want to say anything about the quality of the entries so far and influence the judges'... judgment, but I'm delighted to see two nifty pictures already. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations, Futurama_Freak1!

I love how on-model your style is (really, it could easily pass for a screenshot), and good job on nabbing that certificate!

I was going to interview the winner on a page in my comic, I guess I'm going to have to talk to myself.  ;D
