I like the results of this round. A pity it wasn't longer, but maybe I got too much used to the very long PTs. In fact, it's a nice change, because it didn't drift off so much (yet still proved quite variable).

If I were to name some highlights, I very much liked G55's pic, it has some deep artsy quality in itself (note e.g. the flower on top of Bag End), and sally's decription of the ponies as "Bill the Pony's backwoods cousins" is pretty brilliant. I should note that Rune certainly surprised me with his skill of drawing ponies. The man seems to have some hidden qualities. Hookbill's drawing of "Khamul's friend" is fun, as was Eönwë's picture interpretation of Lommy's sentence (both the imaginary and real "alien" in the picture are hilarious; the dream alien has amazing expression).

However the best pic of all is definitely Nog's. The maps are a great detail, but "Bill the Pony's backwoods cousins" are RIDICULOUS!!! Absolutely lovely!!!!

Just like G55 said, this was a nice holiday cheer

Definitely thanks for the round, TGEW (actually I should mention I think the sentence picked in the beginning was also pretty well chosen).
