All right, thanks, Tommy. I'm making some changes right now. Perspective isn't one of my strong points so the left hand is kinda tough, but I think I've got it to something I like. As for the legs, I'd rather not try to fix them too much; I've already erased and redrawn a lot, the paper is getting messy, and this eraser I just bought isn't very good, so I'm burning through pencil erasers.
Right now I'm pretty happy with what I have, but it's gotten to be a bit too messy to color physically, so I'm gonna try to do it digitally. I'll wait for more feedback to see if there are any more small fixes I could make and update later.
Also, if anyone has tips on how to make fabric look like its blowing in a breeze, I could use them.

Great your in Ravenhawk. You've set good priorities 
Worked some more on mine.
Dont know wether I want flames to come out the eyes/mouth or not. Might be overdoing it a bit then. The eyes of the pumpkin are in no way finished btw
CnC away!

Coming along super nice, Tommy!
I think flames would be a bit too much, I like this glowing feeling it has now.

I might write a short halloween story Arghore, here is how it might start...
The pumpkin leered at his stern gaze.
He had been trying his best to make the vegetable avert its burning stare, but this was proving to be somewhat difficult.
Pumpkins were always very stubborn.
SMUSH!
The grimy metal gauntlet that was moments before resting on his beloved invisible pony's mane now dripped pumpkin innards.
"My lord! That is the third pumpkin in the past hour!"
Hehe

I just made another pose, I think this the movement I wanted... but know I dont know what put as a target for that scythe attack, i just put a pumpkin as example... I need some ideas and your opinion about this new pose!
This is just like the 2/5 part of the full draw.. so I need something good to fill it

@ Usk Delt. I like the idea of the pumpkin as the target. Looks like it has been freshly tossed and the scythe is about to come around and do its duty. It fills my head with a background of the very contrasty dusty red outcroppings with a dark and moody sky and swirling vapors, ground littered in pumpkin parts.
I think I need more sleep and this gnawing headache (Day 4) to go away. Made some minor progress with costume last night but not enough worth photoing yet.

Gratz to 'Mr' Remington, for winning over 50k+ in cash and items, for giving the right answer to the question "Who started this thread, and where on gwguru is it located?" as part of Judge Ra's show on gw-en.com
@Tzu, saw you added my prize, maybe want to add that people can pm me to learn more about how to become a judge in this catagory
@Usk, like that pose ... one thing though, shouldn't the scythe face the other way, like the sharp pointy bit ...

Was considering including some critiques with this post but it's kinda late and I might not make sense. I'll do it sometime tomorrow but I got an insta comment for Tommy:
That pumpkin is looking great! And I agree with Minami, it looks good as it is.
And uploaded my rough sketch. I don't have a reference picture so anatomy might be off..I'll prolly have to take a pic of myself doing the same pose..also considering changing her left hand..looks like she's tickling something >_> (lol I just Critiqued myself..)
I downloaded the paint tool SAI trial and used it for this..but it may be a bad idea to use it for this entry because it's the first time I ever used SAI. We'll see!

I like the pose, but you should have the Jack-o-Lantern in the Dervishes hand and flame remnants swirl around the Dervish that came from the Jack-o-Lanterns face. Next add a graveyard in the background decorated with various Guild Wars Halloween items. Lastly, have a full moon in the background but have the scythe's blade curve around the side of the moon.Dhuums Soul Reaper or Raven Scythe can do that nicely.

i wanna join the contest too i'll post back when i have some ideas

So I've been playing around with Audicity in hoping to remix some Guild Wars music to a Halloween theme. Well, I failed at the theme. Tell me what you think!

Updated OP with new participants. BladeWind joined the panel of judges (by the way, I haven't replied to your PM because it appears your inbox is full!)!
I made "Birthday Cupcakes" yesterday, minus the candle... Q_Q
If anyone wants to make them for Halloween/whatever, here's how:
Birthday Cupcakes
@ Usk Delt: you're making good progress already, I like how you immediately took the critique to heart and worked with it! It looks much better already, although I think it still lacks some force. I never swung a scythe in my life, nor do I play D/, but I think how he's holding it in his hand looks wrong, it makes the scythe look very light-weight and less lethal. I don't exactly know what a swing of a scythe would look like, but these appear to be good indications: start swing and end swing. Hopefully you can use that.
@ Zodiac Meteor: imo I think the song lacks any particular highlight as it is, and the melody is somewhat hard to follow at times. With the slow but heavy feeling it seems to have, I would add some serious bass to it. X3
I haven't made any progress myself, I hope to do so today though.

I should be back to working on my Halloween entry pic sometime next week, hopefully.
Doing the last finishes for my other picture, which I've been working on for over a week now, about 7-8 hours every day... I have to submit today (deadline is on the 13th, but I don't wanna submit during the final rush), so I'm working on it full power
I'll of course still keep an eye on this thread, and give C&C. But don't expect anything serious or substantial from me until next week. ^_^

@Zodiac, I liked the slowed down theme music, it had a beginning of authum feel to it, then i liked the bit with Eir with the high pitched tones, that realy put me off ease ... what i missed though, were allot of 'ambient' sounds, howling winds and wolves, footsteps, evil laughter, screaming, church bells (12 strokes) ... all sorts of things that make it more halloween themed ... it could also use some 'tempo' changes, to create more 'urgent/pressing' moments within the whole composition; not sure if its the right english word for it, but 'swelling' (tempo and volume) can make certain parts stand out more ... so, a good 'base' but it needs more 'halloween'
Oh_Frustration
I'm feeling like my pic is becoming more and more Guild Wars inspired than Guild Wars related... First of all I finished the Ritualist's left arm and her head and now her armor looks nothing like the ones in-game. Also, the spirit she encounters... I don't think it will be the traditional GW spirit. More of a blue skeleton surrounded by mist.
Pic taken with my DSLR in poor lighting circumstances, hence the funky light and colours. It sure is fun as heck to draw on black paper this time!

I think I've got an idea brewing in my head. Something like a large group of Kournan children facing the viewer with a stoic look on their faces. Then King Thorn is standing behind them in mid-laugh.
Thinking of positioning and drawing the kids in a way that references that famous scene from "The Shining". You know:
"Come play with us. Forever and ever AND EVER."
Edit: The Hitcher in my avatar is obviously excited about this message.

Allright, mainly as an example to Zodiac i made a little audio file myself ... not saying Zodiac should do the same, but it illustrates the 'ambient' sounds a bit ... hope you all like it, any comments are welcome, but i think its perfect like this, and i might even have it as my 2e submission ^^ ... Trick or Treat

Tzu, my Inbox has a little more space in it now.

I'm only gonna try to CnC the visual stuff because it's one I am most familiar with. I write but I am no good at it (esp with English being my second language) and I am not an avid reader for the most part so my experience in the matter is solely from RPs and Forum RPs =S
If you don't see your name in the list and you have a progress gallery in the front page (visual piece), it means I have no CnC for you and your entry is looking perfect for me so far
Tzu - liking it so far. I just notice a little jaggedness on the silver stuff but it's barely noticeable so it's no biggie (Feel free to ignore this if it's hard to fix because I am just being nitpicky and I really doubt it's gonna be a problem). If that's intentional and then ignore this
Zacchius - Love the details. There's something looking a little flat on the torso though but I can't pinpoint it atm (probably just me). Also his left hand (the one on the right side from our perspective) seems a little small but other than that, it's looking great.
Arvida - Love the concept. I think the Dragon's (?) head could be a little bigger or moved forward a little bit though.
Usk - Love the pose but if it's supposed to be them fighting, I don't think the pumpkin head should be facing that way..unless it's an already severed head (*violent thoughts*) then that looks fine. Maybe a pained/sad look on the pumpkin if you want to put humor in it (if it's a severed head or he got hit by the scythe)
Valor - I remember drawing in MS Paint and I can never come up with something like this lol (I'd be lucky to be able to draw a p umpkin). It certainly is a fun piece, I am juswt not sure what the guy on the center is doing. Is he pointing at the camera?
Hope those helped!
Uploaded another progress pic in my gallery. I changed the pose and I need help with the anatomy so please CnC away. If you can't tell that she's sitting down then uhm..yeah that's definitely something that needs to be fixed XD

Thanks for your suggestions ,
@ ArghoreI already changed the perspective of the scythe becouse it was pointing to the wrong side, i didnt notice that before, thank you :9.
@Tzu: about ur recommendation i tried to made another position, using the both hands on the scythe but i think i will keep doing the drawing with the one i showed before becouse I want to it to be like an "Elegant hit" not a "full strenght attack" I mean... the derv is not angry with the pumpkin, hes just cutting them for fun . But if u have a good idea of how to look it elegant and strong in a good convination i will really like to hear it .
@Ravenhawk actually the pumpkin is facing that way ... originally becouse i was thinking on a player with a pumpking head that has just get his head blown of... but now i think the derv is just hitting pumpkins for fun.. not fighting a pumpking but i will see how this goes and then decide. Btw i really liked ur new pose, the anatomy its very precise, keep updating it

Just a side note; I opened my progress gallery here. I'll try to update it every time I get something new added on the pic.

Some fairly dull progress from me, I have a lot more but it's mostly the same: fake leather decorated with silver lines. I almost finished the front part of the torso today, made a shoulder-guard and some more bits. Zzz...
I think this is one of those things which looks interesting when it all comes together, with all the belts and straps and whatnot. Right now all the bits look very same-y and boring. Still needs weathering. Won't get my proper camera back before ~26th of september.
my webcam is hilariously useless.I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the fur rim around Eir's neck...
In the concept art it looks grey, and very thick (it also trails down her back it seems):
but in-game it appears to be much slimmer and brown:
