Pilchard's entry was a clear favorite. However, I was concerned because he said he used an image for inspiration and I'm not sure how much of it is his own work. I voted for him because he was honest about it, but I'm having some second thoughts.

Tokyokid and Jason both did pretty decent jobs, but neither entry is perfect. Jason's entry has some perspective problems. Tokyokid's entry is a bit too flat - without ridges or anything, that could equally be an orange rather than a pumpkin. Still, both were nice to look at.

Elfstone - for perfectly valid reasons - chose to illustrate Christmas rather than Thanksgiving. While she did a good job with the shapes, the color selection is a bit problematic - I find it pretty difficult to see anything in the bottom left and top right corners. The bird is my favorite part of the picture, but the central image of the two wise men looking at the star shining over what looks like the Eiffel tower (but probably isn't) is really well done.

Overall, I liked all the entries. Good job, all!

Wow! Coming from someone not from the USA, this is pretty nice! I believe it was a nice work of art, and definitely is very detailed. Would be nice if the metal thing on the hat were yellow, though. It fits though.

Tokyokid
A pumpkin. Very appropriate for Thanksgiving, but can be mixed up and be thought of as an All Hallow's Eve item. But, it is beautiful. You could have made the face a tad bit bigger, and more lines at the bottom of it.

Elfstone
Loved it. Its playable, while it isn't necessary, adds some fun to it. The bird is very nice, well made. The Christmas stocking is really nice as well. Agreeing with Eytan here, the top right and bottom left are really hard to see, but would be okay if it were another color. The landscape, Wise Men, and the 'Eiffel Tower' are very nicely done, and the music is unique. I've never seen that before in a hold art. Very nice.

Jason
Cool! I like the food, but the perspective view is definitely off. Would have been cool if you could've included the tablecloth/table, it would have perfected it. The bowls of food are nice, and the turkey looks cool besides the view. Nice!
