EDIT [08.7.2011]: Added poison to list. Changed limit from 1 element to 2.

--------------------------------------------

First off, I want to thank everyone that participated in my previous challenge ^__^ The entries were amazing, and I hope that this challenge will be just as successful!

I ran across this idea somewhere in DeviantArt, and I immediately fell in love with it *3* Without further ado, here is the theme of my second challenge!

~~~~~~~~

| | Challenge | |

> > Elemental Burst < <

Hopefully, everyone is familiar with the Western concept of the 4 elements (wind, water, fire, earth) or the Eastern concept of the 5 element (fire, water, earth, wood, metal). Your goal is to draw a picture of a character (canon or original) surrounded by or using the element(s) of your choice.

For this challenge, I will also throw in an extra element or two to give you more options. But, you can only use the elements that I have listed below.
