Good blend.
Good match up with the legs. I do notice a couple of blurry areas on the legs that are a bit distracting but nice work overall.

Would be much better without the knight. He looks like a toy compared to the vegetation. Nice monster, though.
Perhaps lighten the furthest area of shadow behind the creature...this will help imo. Nice job, author!

Nice (Or maybe not so nice...) critter!
Your work is marvellous, simply marvellous.
Congratulations BWR.
Not sure how you came second when we both have exactly the same scores. Looks like equal first to me.
I think the rules are that if it's a tie, the person not named BWR wins.
This is my second tie and I have gotten 2nd place both times. dunno how that works out.
Congrats Brah
