Chakra Contest! Win fantastic prizes! :D

Hello there guys! <3

Okay, you know that my comic Chakra has improved truly much this year. And I was really glad to find out that it got quite popular: the chakra group created by my dear got over 110 members, the facebook group has over 40, the first chapter of the story has been completed, the comic is currently on the roll to be printed and it's being translated in the beauty of EIGHT languages, and last but not least, page 52 gained over 4500 views and 180 favourites! In order to celebrate these fantastic events, I've finally decided to hold a glorious contest out of which, believe me, you won't be let down
So here is the rules of the contest, and a lot of information you'll need:

THE THEME:

The theme of the contest is the following:

Draw the scene that you most liked so far!

You can find the comic Here: arven92.deviantart.com/gallery…

Let your feelings guide you, and present me the bit of the comic you most enjoyed, without forgetting to pull out all the love you feel for that scene!

Remember, you don't have to draw my personal favourite scene, but YOURS. So don't be shy and think "maybe Arven would like this other scene better", because I sure won't.
I've been putting my soul in every single one of my pages, in every single scene, so I love them all equally

THE RULES:

- You don't need to be a member of to enter. Anyone can join! <3
- NO stealing others' pictures
- NO harassing other deviants
- Please do NOT use templates/ ready linearts
- You CAN enter with more than one picture.
- You CAN reference from my gallery, but please, not heavily
- Please make sure you post coloured pictures! Quality is all that matters No 5 min doodles! Anyway, I DO accept grayscale and black and white pictures.

THE MEDIA ACCEPTED:

I accept any media really, traditional, digital, even sculpture! But please, no literature . It's really hard to judge on a written piece, and frankly, I don't think I can do that.

THE JUDGES

I will be the only judge

I will judge basing on ORIGINALITY more than technique: , meaning, try to be CREATIVE. Don't just redraw the scene exactly like you see it! Make changes, switch points of view, make the scene unique! I will also judge on HOW you present the scene: meaning, what aspects you focused on, which ones you liked, which ones you didn't like, and the way you make me understand that you liked the scene.

THE PRIZES

Here goes the succulent part! :evilplot:
I told you there would be fantastic prizes! So here you go, check by yourselves how fantastc they are!
