Here are mines. I made these for some contests. but I didn't get any feedbacks and I don't know whether these cards are good or bad by myself.

I've just realised how much this contest reminds me of @Corwinnn's 'Five Things' so I figured I'd change the max number of entries to 5 instead of 3. God help me.

You might not like Isa's art, but she was based on the art, so deal.

This guy is nice and straight forward, and the art was the real drive behind this piece:

This is a card I really enjoyed making, and the art by Jon Hodgson is amazing and fits really well:
