Valejo was just an example! What do i know, the man can be a scifi expert... :) As far as the judging goes, i think its a great idea, but having the work criticized by a pro wouldnt mean more to me, than having the work criticized by one of you guys! Criticism, in my opinion, is still a matter of ones own taste! I rather read a tutorial instead! Its like composing music (yes, i do that as well)! If i compose a track and a pro musician comes, "instead of taking that chord, try this one instead" "try these drums here instead" etc, how much of my own originality would be left in the end...?
