Patricia- Thank you very much for such amazing images, I will do more in a future when I have the chance to do them with proper results. Your horses in pastels are great, is actually the apropriate medium to make the dust/fog environment. I'm missing the dog in the second one...hahaha for water effects maybe is more difficult 
Christel- Great choices, The horses were achieved very good, the dust is also perceived in it, well done for the illusion... Dog portraits are nice too, well proportioned and have very natural strokes. Try using retarder with the acrylics it makes them smooth and less chalky
Penny- Donkey looks great. I'm surprised how much you've developed your art...
Anne- The squirrel looks so cute... love the toning of the tree, The bird is my favorite, toning in the feathers is really well achieved.
CaliAnn- Great Job, you used yupo which is quite difficult with handling, but great to enhace the tones of the colors and contrast. Wish I could see yours live because pics do change a lot color preception. You notice how it glows when you put the painting in low light conditions! Try it
EyePaint- Beautiful and awesome sketches, is so relaxing to see, love the way you mark a spot to call the attention.
Joe- Great sketches too, Im not sure if yours are digital or not... squirrel and donkey look quite well proportioned. Horses are difficult, is like faces, we are programed to recognise details.
Vivien- Your WC is very nice... has a dotted texture from the paper that suits well the image.
Fede- is that purple?... Yes the dog is violet violet with brown gives a weird tone and looks realistic... who would say a purple dog does not exists
Thank you all for the very nice comments on my input... took me a lot of effort to deal with yupo, but resuslts show is worth it.

Thank you, Artyczar. It’s nice to know you enjoy seeing the challenge entries, even if you can’t comment,I want everyone here to know that, while I never comment on the wildlife threads, I look at them all the time and am blown away at all the talent. Sometimes I just can't keep up with commenting on everything but wish I could, as this project is busier than most other threads. I am just floored at how prolific everyone is and how you all capture your love for these amazing animals. It inspires mine and I only wish I could produce the same. Just wanted to stop in and make this known. Keep up the excellent work!
