12 Jun 2004	Alex P. Smith	Loading... WOW this is bloody brilliant the effect you have on the gold and the way it links into the flame is great
12 Jun 2004	Roy Bos	Loading... D*mn yeah great effects in the gold. Looks great !
13 Jun 2004	Lisha Fu	Loading... And it certainly deserves to win! I love how there's one very strong image dominates from a distance and when you look closer, there's another stronger image dominating. How will the cover be designed? Will it be with a white background cos I think black might be better. J. ´Kythera´ Contreras replies: "Thanks! I got what I wanted with this image, then. I wanted the Phoenix Gate itself to be the dominant image, with the reflection being the kind of thing you notice on second glance. I'm not exactly sure how the whole cover will look, but it was designed for a white background. Most likely, I will either re-upload the image using the final cover, or add a link to it in the picture description. ^_^"
13 Jun 2004	Beth 'vampyrhobbit' Stiner	Loading... Very cool! Love how you caught the reflection.
14 Aug 2004	Twilight Star	Loading... This is absolutely amazing. You certainly accomplished your goal because it wasn't until second glance I noticed the characters in the back ground. I agree with the above commenter that a black back ground would really make this piece stand out. Thanks for sharing.
8 Nov 2004	ChaoticFate	Loading... Very cool... Nothing short of awesome
23 Nov 2004	TigerSquirrel	Loading... I'll keep you in mind if I ever was to start my own buisness. A logo like that would just be awsome! Don't worry, if I ever scraped up cash enuff to start my own buisness, surely I'd be able to pay you )
9 Jan 2005	Dragon	Loading... OH MY WORD, that is so amazing how you did that, it is done so well, keep it up
28 Jun 2005	Laura A. Farrar	Loading... This is tight! Keep up the good work. Man, I used to get up early in high school just to watch Gargoyles! Haha, and so did all of my friends, even the ones i never would have imagined watching that show. Love your work here!
22 Dec 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Gar-girls are gay..Grow up J. ´Kythera´ Contreras replies: "I AM both homosexual and quite cheerful, as a matter of fact. As for growing up... I'm not the one leaving immature comments without the courage and conviction to put my name to them. They're called anony-mice for a reason."
