mmm... I gotta disagree. Whether you like the design or not, what you can see is an approach to the theme coming from his knowledge of that culture (at least I think so). It doesn't matter if he spent 1o minutes or 3 days, if he used mega-super-duper software and hardware or just Paintbrush in an old 386, what matters is the result, and as you can see, most people got impressed with his gallery. ie: nobody thought of making the girls' eyes all black, he did. And it happens that gothic people likes to use contact lenses, being one of the most popular the "all black". I know that, but I'd never think about it. He did because he knows the niche.
And speaking of talent, I think he's talented enough to do great stuff

I said I liked the design, just thought more design concepts could have been used. I agree, a lot of people responded well to it, I guess I just enjoy being impressed by talents of the designer, such as Trolleater, who actually changed the eye color of the main girl as well, and who posted his first. Since this IS a contest, catching someone's eye should be the first priority, which Troll's gallery definitaly does with it's color scheme and layout.
