I followed you.

I love 2 because of the colors but there is no Tower so I'm on the fence. :lol:

Voted for No. 2. Looks Great!

wow! That was a hard choice. Thanks for all those who submitted.

Kinda like #3 so there's my vote!

#1 is pretty cool as well. #2 is very nice but I'm with Matt, no Tower

Wow, it's hard to pick just one. I was torn between one and two, but in the end I had to go for two. Nice work people!!!!

It was hard to decide for me especially between 2 and 3.
I voted for 2 in the end.

oooh it's so difficult to chose! for bears it's either 1 or 3

2

#3

I decided to go with Image 4.

I love the inclusion of the rose !!!!

Congrats everyone! Very impressive.

For me, #1 stood out as the one I liked the best. That's my vote.

Yep, 1 for me too - it's really ethereal, I love it :thumbsup:

Is #2 an original piece of art or a photoshop job? Either way, very impressive. Love it :)

voted 1

can't tear my eyes off it, just looking at it makes me feel good... weird, but good...

Voted for #2. Just amazing. If it was in print form, I'd definitely put that thing on my wall.

For the contest, I do agree that it would be nice to have the DT.com logo on it, but other than that--perfect. :clap:

They're great! :)

If I were to pick one, it'd be Image #2.

I like them all a great deal, but I could only choose one so here's my analysis of the ones I didn't choose. Please remember, these are only my opinions and they carry no weight with anyone:

Image 1: Very ethereal, very awesome, but the Crimson King's symbol seemed to overwhelm the other parts.

Image 2: My favorite piece here. However, the gunslinger looks dead. If I were the artist, I'd call this one Last Smoke.

Image 4: It feels like there is too much in the image already.

Wow, Woofer, you & I were really on the same wavelength concerning this.

Both of these are, like, my thoughts exactly!

Image 4 I didn't choose just because I'm not so much into Gunslinger Born-era Roland.

#2 is my choice

#2 rocks!

Haven Foundation = helping Artists down on their luck

The Gunslinger sure looks lown on his luck in this pic!

I don't know if it's proper, as the creator of entry #2, to answer some of the posts? If not, please delete this. Thnx!

It was created in GIMP (poor man's photoshop lol) and I didn't show the tower on purpose. It's my vision of the first line of the first book, "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

I created a literal "blank slate", (with no logo's/wording), because the criteria list said to leave it blank. I made the assumption that all the extra's would be added afterward and that they would need to be sized accordingly. Sorry mine looks so plain.

And to those who said he looked dead lol, you don't know how true that is! It's actually a bronze statue of a cowboy in the Ukraine. I colored him of course but it was impossible to find a stock image of a real western style man that could pass for Roland. I thought once the logo's and donator names where spilled across it, it would look fine. Your comments were just too funny lol. :lol:

BTW they are all gorgeous entries! :clap:
I personally voted for #1. Love the colors and the softness!
