Summer Themed Contest!! (Winners)

Ok, let me just say that this had to be one of the hardest choices I have had to make. Both entries are very well done with detail and skill. I loved the colors that & both used in their work. Which comes down to the wire with my choice:

1st place goes to...

I really loved your background and how you made your characters seem to pop out of the page with all the color you used. Way to keep cool in summer with the ice pop.
You have won: an animated Digital/Traditional drawing & 20

2nd place goes to...
by
I also really loved your background and your very good at drawing anatomy for humans is very nice as well. I love how you brought a humor view to summer as well.
you have won: a Digital drawing & 10

And since there was no third entry, no one wins 3rd place...

I hope you guys enjoyed this contest, and I look forward to our next one which I hope more people will enter in.
