Betsy Sandberg says:
Judge #3-This provokes so many questions– which is what art should do. Take better care around the margins of the images and keep up the good work.
Judge 1 says:
Judge #1 Nicely done, and thought-provoking for sure. I love the shadows on the flowers and the detail on the book is very intricate. well done.
Peter Watrous says:
Judge 2. I am judging this based of content, design, emotional impact, use of color, etc. I am not knowledgeable enough of digital art say anything about technique. It gets high marks for emotional impact. The work clearly has meaning to the artist that the viewer can’t fully understand, especially if one has not read “The Promised Neverland” which apparently about the adventure of a group of orphans. Why is her hand in front of the face/mouth with her intense, perhaps accusing, stare, straight at us. She clearly wants to say something but isn’t or can’t. The work certainly draws the viewer in with its emotional but untold story.
