Artists like to get some sort of recognition for their work besides "you won!(nothing)" I should know because I am a professional artist among other things. (I do not do redwall work) Some people expect artists to just love doing their work just for the sake of it which is somewhat idealistic, seeing as they need to put food on the table like the rest of us. However, I did expect more entries this time because the average artwork on here isn't the type that would take a month or more to complete and most of the contributors are not old enough to worry about making money off of everything they produce.
