Slightly less conjuring with the medium than I expected this month, but the choices came clear:

1: johnnyjet
2: mosaix
3: Peter V

With an honourable mention for elvet.

 

[AlexH]

While reading, I paid more attention than usual to how the picture was interpreted and I particularly enjoyed that aspect in the stories by Luiglin And The Judge.

They came close, but my votes went to:

Victoria Silverwolf
johnnyjet
mosaix

If I am honest, yours was my easiest choice for a vote and I was quite confident I would vote for it the moment I read it. It is both inventive and amusing, whilst being slightly disturbing and I thought the characterisation of Raknir brilliant.

Good stuff!

 

[David Evil Overlord]

And another vote. Thanks, Perp!
