Finally, I'm back at the controls after a few days away R&R with the lovely Lady Sarah. Thanks for your patience everybody, and another big thank you to Tamsin who did a fabulous job standing in for me posting the Friday Follies.
Our fifth and final bonus theme round has concluded! We had 35 participants submitting entries illustrating their delightfully imaginative interpretations of the 'Monstrous' theme. Below are the results of the voting.
_____________________________________________
The Runners Up of the Theme Round were:
SidneyR's 'Les Chevaliers de Versailles, 1688'
AlexK's 'Monster Madness'
JamesM's 'The Command is Given, the Command is WALK!'
______________________________________
Our podium finishers for the Monstrous Theme Round are:
Third Place: MichaelA's 'Monster Mash'
Michael will receive another 25 points for his fabulous retrospective of these classic monsters of the Silver Screen. Yes they are verrry verrry scaaaary! Lovely brushwork Michael.
________________________________________________
Second Place: AnthonyO's 'George the Giant'
George's amazing romper-stomper monstrousness (monstrousnous?) will give Anthony another 50 points to add to his total! Superb work Anthony!

And in First Place:
ByronM's 'Kingdom Death Dragon King'
I had the pleasure of seeing this electric blue brute up close and personal while visiting friends and family in Winnipeg this past weekend. I can attest that it's even more impressive (and intimidating) when viewed nose-to-nose, so to speak. Truly, an amazing piece of work.
In recognition of Byron's excellent efforts, he will be awarded an additional 75 points to his total and receive a generous gift certificate from our fellow Challenger Edwin over at Diplomatist Books.
Congratulations again Byron!
