The Greatest View - NIEC 3DE 1st place

Again, congratulations to Kartoffelpueh for placing first in NorwegianIEC's Three Day Event!

Again I wrecked the tack, and I'm sorry about that Despite being slow like the slug I am, I am churning out the pieces one by one. Now I'll maybe actually be able to draw properly, with a brand new laptop! (Where the colors are hopefully correct, because what is going on with my previous drawings??)

Comment:
These three pieces were absolutely mindblowing. I'm amazed at how well you captured Norway in your backgrounds and how much attention you paid to the details, which is exactly the point of the competition! I also loved how you mixed in traditional drawing on paper with a grey pencil, even if it wasn't according to plan. It really added diversity to the entries. Your backgrounds are so creative and detailed and my jaw dropped to the floor when piece after piece appeared in my inbox. Forward Line really shows his personality in the three drawings and I love it
