Again, thanks to all who participated! Enjoy~​

 

[Turn]

Congratulations, everyone!

thebatman

I think my favorite is definitely tomokii's. :'D

 

[archiearcher]

Congrats! grapy and tomokii- I love yours!

 

[sora4sky]

Congrats to all who entered....

 

[kostas]

where is the traditional painting winner? i only see winners with digitally made boxart

 

[tomokii]

First place picture is super complicated like whoa. XD Definitely deserving! Grapy's entry is beautiful too--nice style going on and the DI scenery was a nice touch♥♥ I also really like Kai-tun's, there's some really nice drawing skills there!

Thanks for putting up decisions for 2nd and 3rd place, Salty! I still can't believe I placed with an unfinished drawing ;A; Posting the completed image later tonight! : D

 

[LivanVellnight]

Congrats and kudos to the top 3! =D Though I am a little disappointed that I didn't even get an honorable mention after spending all that time on the line art and painting it...if possible could someone tell me how I could improve it?

 

[ventusXterra]

congratz guys i liked your the most!! tomokii!!!

 

[00 Raiser Fan]

Congratz to everyone, though honestly I like tomokii's the most!!

 

[Salty the Hero]

where is the traditional painting winner? i only see winners with digitally made boxart

I said in somewhere in the other thread that I was only going to have one winner.

 

[Mitchman]

I like the winner and all, the premise is simple, but I just dunno. Its your choice and all but second place seems more deserving. It captures the game more. But whatever, choices were made and congrats!

 

[Chaos]

wow everyone work looked great

 

[EyeOfDiscovery]

Thanks for having me on the links Well done to the winner and 2nd & 3rd! xx

Edit: Just had a look through.. Wow Tychina's was an amazing runner up IMHO!

 

[tomokii]

Thanks for the thoughts guys it means a lot to me T__T Everyone did a great job!

I uploaded the completed version of my entry here and on dA, it's here. : )

 

[Dogenzaka]

I'm sure the deciding factor was creativity and uniqueness, and I find first-place to have a variety in character positions, features, themes and presentation of its elements.

Though personally I really like tomokii's

 

[Grapy]

OMG!!! I'm 2nd place!!!

Thanks everyone!

Tomoki's is so adorable! I think Kai's is really good too, his style is very similar to Nomura's...

 

[Mastermind]

I must say, that I disagree with the decision. Personally, I believe that first and third should switch places. However, it wasn't my decision and congratulations to Veriun.

 

[kostas]

I said in somewhere in the other thread that I was only going to have one winner.

i didnt see that and even if i had seen that i had sent my entry the first 3 days. i think its unfair to say that there is only one winner cause if i knew that ,i would have made a digital one but i didnt cause i though that it may be easier to win in traditional drawing.the moment you said there will be one winner it is sure to be a digital one because of the quality. that means i didnt have one chance....its unfair because at the beggining you said there will be a digital and a traditional winner....if there was to be one winner you should have said from the beggining and in the first post/announce..

 

[Veriun]

Wow! I didn't actually expect to win. I personally think second place was a hundred times more awesome. Congratulations to everyone! This contest was lots of fun; I love seeing so many different takes!

By digital, I meant making it with PS and using official character artwork. The top 3 entries were most likely hand drawn then digitally enhanced, drawn via a tablet or some computer program. And I said that there will be one winner a few days after I made the contest.
