Here it is! The moment you've all been waiting for! The Winners are...
3. In third place is... gunArt! With the entry of the original character DrabQuiel. To be honest, no one needed to actually make an original chracter for this challenge, but gunArt went the extra mile... and handrew the whole thing! Just look at the entry and marvel at the detail and hard work put into that. Nice work, gunArt!
2. For second place we have... Koji Sujimoto! Entering a very well rendered artwork of everyone's favorite anti-social bad boy, Sesshomaru! The background is particularly eye-catching and extremely detailed. Koji-san even took the time to put little mushrooms on the tree! Now that's dedication! Kudos, Koji Sujimoto!
1. And in the coveted first place is... Namihazure Sama! Entering that oh-so-squeeable, oh-so-adorable, Alphonse Elric! Who could resist that expression? And Nami-san even put a chibi version of herself squee-ing in the bg! It's just chock-full o' squee! And a very well interpreted piece of art. Congratulations, Namihazure Sama!
And those are the winners! It was very close. I had a hard time choosing. You all gave me such interesting and cute and awesome entries! But that's not the end of it! Read on to see if you got an honorable mention!
Most Adorable: The hon-men for "Most Adorable" goes to... Bluesen12! For her entry NOM NOM NOM! It's just too cute! X3 Nice concept there, Blue!
Cool BG: The "Cool BG" hon-men goes to... monochromexii! Welcome to NYK has an interesting way of showing the skyscrapers. I'm not sure what technique was used, but it sure looks cool!
Best Yaoi Pair: The "Best Yaoi Pair" hon-men goes to... inuonlyone! A lot of people know the Loveless series, but inuonlyone managed to capture their relationship expertly! Feel the burn coming of Ritsuka's blushing cheeks! XD
We Can Relate: The "We Can Relate" hon-men goes to... CanChaN525! I'm sure we've all got at least one character we'd like to see in real life. CanChaN-chan make that clear with her rendering of a squee moment over the Hidan/Kakuzu pair on a mission right before her eyes! You're giving us all hope that, we too, can meet our anime idols! XD
Most Original Idea of Squee: The one who gets the long title hon-men XD is... Alchemic Mushroom! Now I've heard of a lot of things to go squee over, but a loli doll never even crossed my mind! Way to be original, Mushroom-san!
Well-Red Award: The Well-"Red" award goes to... Wakusei Aoshi! With an abundant use of the color red without overpowering the picture, this handsome suited man has the girls faces turning that very same color! *French accent* Because red is indeed... ze color of love! X3
Best Pencil Drawing: The hon-men for Best Pencil Drawing goes to... IChiTa! This pencil drawing of Raven has a lot. From not only the character but also some funky symbols and designs in the bg. It's very well shaded. Go IChiTa!
Well that's all of the honorable mentions. I wish all of you could win, but there's only 3 slots and quite frankly, the school year's starting soon. XD I may be starting another challenge soon. I'd like to hear from those of you who participated in this challenge and see if there's any improvements I can make for next time, though. Like a lack of info, or a longer deadline. Just let me know.
Again to those who won, congratulations! You can send me a PM and we'll discuss your prizes. =^_^= And to those who didn't, better luck next time! I look forward to what you all can bring to the table!
