Competition Results



<div class="featureinfo>
:icontheeforsakenone:
=TheeForsakenOne: Almost exactly how I imagine Christina: flirty, cheeky and friendly. Maybe a little over the top since she isn't quite that forward except with her lover but apart from that it's pretty much her. ^^


<div class="featureinfo>
:iconmemnalar:
`Memnalar: This piece oozes with talent, but I’m not entirely sure about the interpretation of the character as described. While the artist took pains to portray the character accurately in some respects, she appears overtly sexual in my opinion, which is not how the character description struck me.

<div class="featureinfo>
:iconappleofaiden:
*AppleofAiden: You did a really great job with this. ^^ The pose and clothes and coloring, very incredible. ^^



<div class="featureinfo>
:iconcryptrose:
~CryptRose: The character fits the description, both her clothes and her expression match the personality and taste i suppose she would have, and her body seems fitting with her age. The colouring is very well done, looking realistic, but at the same time not shocking with the manga-ish style. There aren't many details in this piece, but it also wouldn't be easy to put them in it. The details that there are (bracelet, hands) re very well done. The background is nothing special, but also looks good.
<div class="featureinfo>
:iconprince-yuki:
~Prince-Yuki: While it doesn't look like the artist tried as hard as they could have, the character interpretation however, made it a very well done piece.

:icontheeforsakenone:
=TheeForsakenOne: Very cute but nothing like Lilia I'm afraid. :/




<div class="featureinfo>
:iconmemnalar:
`Memnalar: While the treatment of the character is imaginative, several detail inaccuracies killed this piece’s score. Eye color is wrong (which the artist admits) and the hair doesn’t appear “dark” to me. Still, the costume is well-done.


<div class="featureinfo>
:iconappleofaiden:
*AppleofAiden: I think this is very cute, though she looks out of character, i think she's simply adorable and that you drew her cute ^^ I also like your style. ^^



<div class="featureinfo>
:iconcryptrose:
~CryptRose: The charcter doesn't fit the description, and since this isn't a cosplay or story contest, I don't think considering she's wearing contacts, or tha5t her sister dressed her up counts. Comparing to the rest of the gallery, the shading isn't as good, and looms more sloppy, as well as the colouring, since it doesn't look as smooth. It doesn't really have a background, apart from something that looks like a ps brush.
<div class="featureinfo>
:iconprince-yuki:
~Prince-Yuki: It looks like they did try fairly hard- and they have an interesting story behind what she's wearing.

:icontheeforsakenone:
=TheeForsakenOne: I love this look so much I've decided to make it Canon. ^^




<div class="featureinfo>
:iconmemnalar:
`Memnalar: Since the description of this character was very simple, I expected the artist to rely on imagination to fill in the gaps. This interpretation is clean and well-done, given the monochromatic description of the character, but I would have liked to see more creative liberties taken.
<div class="featureinfo>
:iconappleofaiden:
*AppleofAiden:  I really like the way you drew this, it portrays so well. ^^ GREAT JOB! ^^ I love the ways it was colored as well as the style of the face.



<div class="featureinfo>
:iconcryptrose:
~CryptRose: The drawing is accurate, and the clothing is.. creative, although it doesn't stop being generic. Comparing to the rest of the gallery, the style, and effort put into the lineart seems the same, although the shading could have been a bit better. The artist did a great job at making them androgynous.

<div class="featureinfo>
:iconprince-yuki:
~Prince-Yuki: The way they see the character seems to be accurate enough, even if this doesn't show in the art-I think that they have lots of potential.

<div class="featureinfo>
:icontheeforsakenone:
=TheeForsakenOne: My personal favourite. Apart from the hand in front of her chest blending a little bit I would say it's virtually perfect.



<div class="featureinfo>
:iconmemnalar:
`Memnalar: This is an exceptionally well-rendered piece. Given the description, she seems a little too at-home in her garb of station, but that is the only critique I have. In my opinion, this is the strongest entry.


<div class="featureinfo>
:iconappleofaiden:
*AppleofAiden: This is very pretty, you obviously drew this very stunning. ^^ I love the fire and the coloring as well as the crown. ^^ very nice! ^^!!



<div class="featureinfo>
:iconcryptrose:
~CryptRose: The drawing has a lot of details, and it doesn't exactly have a lineart, which adds up to the realistic style. The expression is perfect, it looks somewhat peaceful but still fierce, like someone who is powerful but doesn't feel the need to demonstrate it. I like the detail of the stone metaphor, it's a nice touch. the effects in this piece are amazing, and i really like how the dress was designed.

<div class="featureinfo>
:iconprince-yuki:
~Prince-Yuki: The warm colours and the fire really seem to bring this character and entire peice together.

Final Word


Please do not harrass the judges. I asked them for their honest opinion and I really hope you can all take something from their comments. Also I would like to take the time to thank each and every participant whether judge or entrant, I truly appreciate the efforts you made and seeing such wonderful art makes me very very happy. :aww:

To the top three: Please note me two deviations as soon as possible for your feature. (Your entry is automatically included in the feature so you get three in total.)

To the judges: Please note me your two deviations as soon as possible for your special thank you feature.

P.S. For those of you wondering why it's two journals: dA does indeed have a limit on journal sizes. -_-

Hey there! The winners, finally! I couldn't wait for them... was so curious! :giggle:
Congratulations to all three, they're works are really cool, especially to patrickel! This work is so great, I already told him more than once! ^.^
And I wanted to say thanks for the critique to the judges! I'm practising coloring, but I'm still not good, and I was afraid, I would ruin the whole pic, if I'd color it. Sry! ^.^
Perhaps I'll do it someday. And yes... this pic took weeks, but I enjoyed it! ^.^

I still really liked yours. If it's any comfort you only narrowly missed out on a placing. ^^

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D
