This was a tough challenge, but three brave souls decided to give it a try. To be quite honest, I like all of them.

Suleman took an existing piece and applies a sepia filter to great effect.

HerrD created what is certainly the most creative grouping..

Kellkin has nice interaction between the characters,, and the costume details are very good.

Taking all this into account, he win this week goes to Suleman, although all three are worthy of the win.

Well done you!

Honorable mention this week goes to Atomic Punk for his vibrant and creative take.

T|his week's win goes to Cliff. The lighting effects are top notch and really helped set the scene.

Just a quick note. There will be no Pop Quiz next weekend, but will return on October 15th.

Thanks to all who entered.

First off, I have to give a shout out to this week's honourable mention Wood Nymph by Brons. The ombre effect and print in the sheer gown is really top notch work.

And now to this week's winning entry Autumn Satyr by Cliff. More of the fine work we have come to expect. Well done you!

Thanks to all who entered.

Well this proved to be quite a tough decision. All the entries were good, but I was torn between Cliff and Xinmodic for their very creative use of objects.

That being said, I think I have to give the edge to Cliff this week. The colouring and detail is really exquisite.

Thanks to all who entered.
