I've just decided to post black orb's reviews since all the other judges' reviews are posted:
Nom-Experse:
The bad: Nothing bad with this, maybe it needed a little more of contrast at the time of scanning the picture..
The good: Textures!! Great textures and detail done with just black ink (and maybe a pencil).. That requires lot of patience.. Nice concept too, very original..
Personal opinion: Keep up the good work..
9/10
Mum:
The bad: Nothing bad with this picture, maybe that black fabric can use some more highlights but that is just a personal opinion..
The good: Flawless technique, anatomy, shading, etc.. the work of a pro..
Personal opinion: I bet those paintings sell pretty well..
Score 8/10
Valkyriewing:
The bad: Is too evident that the picture was cropped and pasted over a photoshop background..
The good: Great work with the color pencils, well shaded and detailed picture..
Personal comments: I love that chinese sword..
Score 7/10
Lovehurts:
The bad: Maybe the lack of simetry could be a bad thing but thats only relative..
The good: Wow, he sure took his time for this, Im not really sure what he used to paint this but the result is very good.. The colors are great too.
Personal comments: Very nice painting..
Score 7/10
Christmas:
The bad: Well the anatomy isnt perfect but since it is a very cartoony style I guess there isnt much of a problem..
The good: The characters there are very funny, the colors are pretty and the background`s photo fits perfectly in the scene.
Personal comments: I love this picture, Christmas you have a very nice style, keep it up..
Score 6/10
Agent Proto:
The bad: His right hand looks odd..
The Good: Solid colors and the contrast here is pretty cool, gray and orange colors work fine thogether..
Personal Comments: Very neat picture..
Score 5/10
Avariceness:
The bad: Well I know Avariceness was kinda busy, I guess that explain the small picture and the rush in the colors..
The Good: Solid colors and the perspective is great.
Personal comments: Again, I love the perspective, the girl is hot too..
Score 5/10
Zeromus x :
The bad: Serious anatomy problems, and the colors are quite bland even for watercolors..
The good: Well, Zeromus x actually drew the entire room and all the other stuff...
Personal comment: Funny picture.. so much wealth and narcissism..
Score 4/10
Zeldy:
The bad: Anatomy problems, and the colors are lacking, I guess those are color pencils.
The good: Well, she did some shading with the pencil..
Personal comment: Is that the flag from sweden?..:
Score 3/10
So the winner of this challenge is...
(SPOILER)it's a tie
Here are the averages of this round:
1. Nominus Experse- 9.17
1. Mum- 9.17
3. ValkyrieWing- 8.17
4. lovehurts- 7.7
5. Avarice-ness- 7
6. Christmas- 6.5
7. Agent Proto- 6.3
7. Zeldy- 6.3
9. Zeromus_X- 5.7
10. Rengori- passed on technicality
11. Meat Puppet- didn't turn anything in
Just to avoid controversy, this means I'll be giving immunity to (SPOILER) both Nominus Experse and Mum .
I know some of you may find this completely infruriating, considering Mum turned in a painting she did before I was born, but please, don't get angry. She worked very hard on this painting and she deserves the immunity.
So, with that, I'm going to go start planning out the next challenge, and until then, farewell ;)

My, my, my - I tied with Mum...
You are far too kind. Interesting, though, that my picture of such blatant lack of colour (due to drawing the entire thing with only pen and ink) would compete well against a painting with such sensual and cooling colours contrasted against the warm hues of her body. It just strikes me... interesting...
...
I DID NOT paste it over a photoshop background...I don't even have photoshop! The glow is there on purpose, indicating my belief in inner power.
I'm a little injured, but at least I lost to the best.

Does anyone know what the hell this next challenge is?
"The Post" and "they" sound akin to that of eeire and mysterious military officials in some obscure faction that I have never heard of up until now.
So if anyone one is willing to clarify, that would be much appreciated. I PM'd tan, but he responded with nothing but an explanation tha he doesn't have a link to what it is. So ultimately, that did nothing in the ways of enlightening me.

The Post.
That's the link if you can't be bothered looking at the first post.
