We begin our journey with 15th place! For our entry commentary, I went strolling down memory lane and dug up some of my avatars from the years gone by! Without further ado, I give you the 15th place winners, starting with...

The contrast between Black and Jack’s fashions is so great! Love the usage of patterns on the pants and skirt. Jack’s fashion sense is so appropriately eclectic here, and bright, and the layering of the tops is totally suited! She’s looks awesomely cute and Black looks awesomely annoyed! Love, love, love those socks!

This is such a great Tarquinia! I so love this outfit on her, it’s great military style with excellent spade influence! Her hair is totally great, and she has the perfect balance of masculinity and femininity. She totally reads as a fighter and someone who’ll stand toe to toe with any man or woman!

This piece has a great sense of the universe about it, very fitting for the Goddess! I like the way the background transitions from darkness to light above the Goddess, it’s very powerful celestial imagery. The pearlescent curls are the top of the garment turned out quite nicely and there’s a fitting sense of mystery.

Ami may be a combat specialist, but that doesn’t mean she lacks time for quieter moments! Her she is characteristically calm, perhaps winding down after a recent exercise? Really great idea for the character, very cleanly executed!

I just love seeing trios together! I think the choice of posing was really nicely-done. The reaching out, the connection -- it really exemplifies Cael’s connection to Hiram via Agrippina. I like the choice of outfits on them, and Hiram’s hair looks perfect, that’s the color exactly! Also, great attention to Cael’s ear shape, it’s subtle enough that wouldn’t notice it, but if you do know what to look for, it’s simultaneously so obvious!

This piece took a little while to warm up to! (HA HA, PUNS.) I like the usage of background elements and choice of colors on Winter’s bodysuit, which is a clear reference to the Adelphia colors (and therefore quite appropriate). Winter’s expression is great -- coolly calculating and collected, and I like how she’s got a womanly figure that wouldn't seem particularly out of place in reality.

One of my favorite trios! They look awesome here, like they’re heading out for a night on the town maybe? Love the black with the red collar on Trion, I think we’re going to see more of that. :3 Alin-Maya’s eyes are such a gorgeous shade, and I’m digging Trion’s hair. Tarquinia’s eyes look so dark and a bit mysterious and dangerous! Great work there. I also really like how you rendered her mouth.

Oh man, Misoki’s feet look so awesome here! <3 I think her costume came out really nicely, with lots of little pieces, and I like the transparent elements! Really digging your style, it’s well-suited to Misoki’s build!

The Locksmith is one of my favorite characters, and I’m very happy to say she got an entry! Choosing to depict her literally unlocking Gallifrey was really smart -- great shout-out to the show, I like the contrast between Gallifrey and the blue, and it tells a great story all on its own!

Not only am I in love with the style of this piece, the emotion is so incredibly gorgeous! Moonbeam’s hair looks so full, it’s fantastic, and I adore that outfit she’s in! The kimono influence is a great touch given her partnership with Ken, but at the same time, it’s so magnificently Moonbeam! Ken looks gorgeous here, you’ve really captured both characters well, and even moreso their partnership.

Most people end up using blonde to brown on Teqatia’s hair because that the way her first reference was drawn, so I’m very, very pleased to see an image that’s gone brown to blonde! It’s really accurate, too. This outfit is great on her, and there’s a great sense of distance and a touch of loneliness. Excellent piece of an oft-overlooked character!

Looking at Ed and Caleb (a couple that doesn’t get nearly enough attention!) I can only think that “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times” is the way to describe their relationship, and that totally comes across here! Really nice work on the expressions. That aside, Caleb’s jacket looks appropriately cool, Ed’s outfit is totally accurate, and it just made so happy to see a piece with the two of them! Particularly Ed, there can never be enough love for Ed in this universe or any other. <3 I love how wild his hair is!

I often feel like Ridley’s extracurriculars don’t get nearly enough attention, so it’s awesome to see something he actually does in his life all the time! Love the chef’s outfit, love the detail in his eyes, love the dynamic use of foreshortening! It’s a really fun Ridley piece that shows Ridley the way he actually is! His hair looks so floofy, too!

Beautiful soft palette, I really like the swirl of the scarf! The background elements are a very nice touch. Using the lines like that made for an effective framing technique. I love the belted bow and voluminous skirt! Her face looks very beautiful and peaceful.

Darkly textured coloring really gives the impression of a slimy little newborn! The crane of the neck makes little Daïyka look really sweet here. I imagine he’s looking for his first meal and imprinting on his parent. There are a lot of nice little details in the painting combining to give a realistic impression!

Dark and dangerous, this was that rare piece that really captured the essence of Black’s character well. It really feels like a moment straight out of Black’s battle with Peri, and very much a good choice of costume for the occasion!

Love the exuberant energy of this piece, which is a perfect fit for Moonbeam! Her hair color is so spot-on. I like the usage of transparent cloth, and the details on the glove and belt are so quintessentially Moonbeam!

A lovely piece with a lot of equally lovely, thoughtful details! There’s something very subdued about it, very calming. Kirkcaldy’s face has a great likeness and the vine on the lifegem was a nice touch.

This piece is so fun and funky! The shorts are a perfect change-up for Kirkcaldy, and the lifegem is curious and unique! There are a lot of really awesome little details on the outfit, like the trim on the shorts and the bottom of her sandal! There’s something endearingly quizzical about it. (:

Love the combination of dark and light linework! The interplay of colors in M’s hair is really wonderful, and the background is spectacularly stylish and fun! Green was a great choice to go with M’s red hair! I really like the texture of the piece and how wildly fun it is!

Beautifully warm tones fill this piece of Agrippina and Hiram. I really like seeing them as a couple and the interaction is cute! Agrippina looks amazing -- if I didn’t know she was a fairy, I’d think she was a Roman goddess!

The gentle melancholy of this piece is a great fit for Ken. There’s a very real sense of hesitation and uncertainty. It even looks as if there may be a trace of blood on his otherwise flawless robes, hinting at medical maladies. The texture is very bold and combines to create a nice mix of light and darkness. Lovely likeness and a very appropriate image for Ken.

I love the slightly wild, adventurous feel of this piece, it’s a great choice for Ami! The costume colors turned out really yummy, and I like the rendering of her face and coloring technique! Overly, a really solid piece of art, with excellent likeness and a fun sense of energy!

Vibrant, exciting, it’s kind of like opening a present and, oh look, it’s a DINOSAUR! Who wouldn’t want this present? Even if it is a ferocious baby raptor! Awesome likeness of Daïyka, particularly his coloring, and great energy!

A powerful and mysterious depiction of the Goddess, she seems both great and terrible. Quite appropriate for a being whose whims are unfathomable to mere mortals!

Nice to see a more serious scenic image, and with one of my favorite couples! Conceptually, an image of Commander and Min’n strategizing in the war room is just brilliant. I like the choice of color tone for the monochrome, it’s very suited to the concept.


User Image

Bribble
User Image

The Goddess and Commander were not a coupling often presented together, but oh how wonderful it is when they are! The way Commander sits in the Goddess’s shadow is conceptually ideal, and the creation emanating from the Goddess’s side is quite a contrast to the empty loneliness on Commander’s. I’m just really impressed by the strong concept of the piece, and I love how the Goddess appears so simple and not overly adorned! Weirdly, the piece makes me feel sympathy for Commander, who really isn’t the most sympathetic of characters! ;D

I love this image of Merroth so much! Him composing music at a piano. So fitting! Nice job on the likeness. It really embodies Merroth exceptionally well!

This is a very nice piece just taken on its own, but knowing what point in the story this is and what exactly is happening just propels it up to a new level. It’s lovely in its sadness, which is profound.

This picture looks so much like my own mental picture of the Goddess. I love the choice to depict the multicolored robe. It’s as pitch-perfect an image of the Goddess as I could ask for!

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the veritable explosion of magic in this piece, but once you’ve finished being awed by that, there are a lot of gorgeous costume details at play here! Love that Cecil is being depicted doing magic, love how boldly it’s depicted, love what he’s wearing (totally perfect for him), and I love the dramatic lighting at play! All in all, it’s an awesomely fun piece. (:

I love Kirkcaldy’s dress in this SO MUCH! It is such the perfect dress for her, and the socks and SHOES are just as perfect! N’Barit and Daub look dashing and all (and n’Barit’s outfit is very much in keeping with his style) but Kirkcaldy is totally stealing the show here, and I really am a sucker for a cute family portrait!

I know there are a lot of awards to get through, but... surely someone wants to congratulate these awesome artists?? Just because they won 15th, 14th, or 13th place doesn't make them any less deserving of accolades!

In fact, it probably makes them more deserving, because they don't have the giant prizes to wave around...
WOOT CONGRATS omg I was too scared to post since I didn't want to break up the page but ahh seems okay nowwww *v*bbb

Dark, dangerous, destructive, and dynamic, great words to attach to an image of Winter, and they’re all on display here! Nice choice of colors, they give an appropriately chilly impression. The shattered glass was absolutely the right element to bring this piece together and helps ground the whole “flying through the air” concept. The detail on the costume is just as impressive, and the coloring technique really translates well with the color choices.

Hahahaha, couples costume swap! With, of all people, Rusak and Constant! Not only does this piece have a terrific sense of humor, it’s got strong character likeness in spite of the costume switch. I thought the gender-switched costume variations were fantastic, particularly on Rusak -- using the corsetry detail on the legs, genius! Constant looks so spot-on, and I actually think I’d like to see both of them in Rusak’s uniform at some point in the future because she just looks awesome here!

This picture ended up being my desktop for, like, eleventy bajillion years because it’s so awesomely fun and funny! Not many people made it up to the Doctor Who option, but those who did made a great job of it, and this piece very charmingly so! It just makes me giggle happily whenever I see it. biggrin

Great style and nice choice of subjects! Love the hockey gear so much. Shirtless Rusak highly amuses me! I really like how Constant turned out, the colors work really well and don’t feel as cartoonish as they sometimes come out. I like how Rusak looks solid -- very realistically manly!

It’s always awesome to have an original outfit design that just feels right for a character! All the little accessories on top of the flowy cloth, it fits Alonriel perfectly, I love her headpiece, and her hair looks just right! Add the art nouveau-inspired elements and the swan and celestial and water elements and it all comes together to form an amazing piece!

Seeing Marlu on his ranch -- and actually being able to see the ranch! -- was a very happy change! The feather detail on the griffin is exquisite and the architecture well suited! A bit rustic, a bit modern. Architectural elements can be challenging, but they’re definitely worth the effort to include. <3

I admit it, I’m a huge Sailormoon fan! Maybe not so much of the original series at this point, but the amazing creativity of the fandom that grew around has always had a place in my heart, so seeing my characters as senshi is a real treat! I especially adore Constant’s fuku, which incorporates her regular costume elements brilliantly. I like how dramatic the piece is, with a real sense of urgency to it, and the cel-style shading makes it feel just a frame away from animation!

Congrats to everyone!! It's so much fun to look at everyone's work and read about what they did : D
