Back in March, I decided to start hosting a monthly contest over at Gaia online. Last months competition, May, revolved around creating an evil/sinister avatar using the Triple Demon Horns as the central item/idea.
You can see the entries that we're submitted to the contest shown above. Many thanks go out to the follow members of Gaia, who took the time to contribute their talents to my contest:

There really is a range of styles from the contributors, and the judges didn't have an easy time choosing a final winner (doesn't help that so many submissions are cute/sexy).

Zapp Brannigan: "What makes a good man go neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?"
Yeah, life has been dangerously busy for me the past couple months. And, I have to admit that I haven't been allowing myself much time to be express my creativity.
Mind you, my art submissions aren't the quality of work that many deviants produce around here (such as yourself, M), but I'm still hoping to get back into the swing of things sometime in the not so distant future.

Thanks, M! I really appreciate your kind words, and you're absolutely right; quality is in the eye of the beholder.
Truthfully, I am probably my harshest critic, but I still give more credit to those who and draw/sketch/paint/etc. It's not to say that creating digital images is a simple task, but my strengths lie moreso in the concepts than completed product.
My "Tasteful Tentacle" pieces being an excellent example of this...

Exactly; being able to conceptualise something is a talent in itself.
I'm feeling a bit down over my D&D series. I'm happy with the art, but 4E D&D is pretty bland, and I find the concepts kind of drab compared to my Planescape characters.
I know what you mean. While I've been enjoying the artwork that you've been submitting as of late, they really don't have the personality that your Planescape characters had. Admittedly, Planescape had a lot more flavor to it but 4E is bland no matter what you compare it to.
