" You can definitely tell there was effort put into this drawing. Angevere does wonderful World of Warcraft art and I choose this because of a certain feel of nostalgia. :>
The theme(s) are respected, since she is an elf and the environment, Eversong Woods are always in golden and orange colours, but also the summer theme is respected through her clothes. I do not think she would wear that in winter. Though you never know with blood elves, they are pretty masochistic xD
This deviation makes me feel nostalgic, for sure, and also anticipation, since both her hand and the dagger are glowing, indicates this is a stance, while not very dynamic, a rogue would have before stealthing and entering a duel/battle. The background however is peaceful and warm, strengthening the idea of an ever lasting forest and the black cat, through its lowered tail, a sign of relaxation, reinforces the idea of peace. The contrast between the character, ready for action and the background & secondary character is lovely and you can feel it. It's tangible.
As a little gripe I have against this drawing is the blank expression the blood elf has. Maybe I am picky because the green eyes makes most blood elves look expressionless, but there could have been a cunning smile or a wince, and I could have sympathized with the character more. In terms of anatomy most of it is fine, but the head is a bit too small, as compared to the hand (hand has to stretch from the chin to 1/3rd of the forehead height) and the right forearm is shouter than the left, the one bent to hold the ball of energy."

" I have choosen Angevere's classic blood elf, in the so popular Eversong Woods from the game World of Warcraft, because even though it doesn't quite "scream" summer, her's is the only one that managed to balance the colors from our given pallet red-green-yellow so beautifully. The details on the blood elf's clothing are very impressive, the forest behind her, the river even the pavement are very well done and it is clear that she has put a lot of work into them."(by Bliood-Kira)
"although I consider red, green, and yellow, as fall colours, this artist followed the rules and aesthetically I like it over most of the other entries. The background is very well done, as well as the elf & cat"(by buenodavista)

"Even though this drawing looks very simple to me it doesn't look like so. I really like the colors she has choose, witch give a warm feeling, and the light dress the elf is wearing really gives the impression of summer, not to mention that he used the exact color pallet we have asked, and they are no other color "intruding" in his drawing. LazyAcorn's drawing may not look complicated but i'm sure he has put a lot of effort behind it."(by Bliood-Kira)
"Beautiful movement here in the hair and the dress, as well captured in the background. I really fancy this drawing for its composition and the artist being so secure in drawing the lines."(by Windklang)
"has more mood and a more sophisticated approach of the theme." (by Angevere)

"Not many people participated in the contest because they said the theme was very hard but HeatherSchoff has managed to show us all that it was possible, if you only sit back a bit and think. Not only that she represented our theme summer very well, you can tell that it's summer by the warm light that pases through the lush green leaves of the thick forest and the elf wares a light summer dress, but she managed to do the color pallet as well red-green-yellow - the green forest, yellow light, and slight reddish fantasy butterflies -. Not to mention the quality of this drawing, and the effort put behind it."(by Bliood-Kira)
"This is great picture with a nice magical feel. It follows the theme nicely and even though it's missing some red, it definitely fills in the other theme requests. It has been executed well too. The only reason why I'm not giving it first place is the anatomy mistakes. While the face looks gorgeous, the elf's right arm and shoulder looks weird, and the legs are too short for a standing figure, yet too long for the girl to be kneeling (skirt folds don't seem to suggest kneeling either) It somewhat bothers me."(by Angevere)
"Is a beautiful piece that feels very sweet and whimsical, while also following the rules. It reminds me of the cool shade in the forest on a hot summer's day and I like the little beams of light peeking through the foliage. Overall it's a wonderful piece of art. "(by buenodavista)
"What I find the most convincing about this entry is the whole composition along with the colours of the given pallette used in a way that would create an incredibly harmonic atmosphere. It is besides the most detailed work as far as I can judge and very realistically done. The elf here is the typical female elf in a wonderful dreamy position. The artist captured the idea of the filigrane species in my opinion.
I also like what she did with the red: adding those creatures."(by Windklang)
