Score: 38/40 95%
Comments: Wow... the work in progress was great but the finished piece is made of win. You did a marvelous job with the Final Fantasy look. What's even better is that I really do think I would find her in Treno lurking about after Zidane and company. When I read the story, I laughed so hard because it was to perfect a setting for someone of her stature to meet him. Great work. I cannot find anything wrong with this entry either. If I did, it would be nit-picking. :P
2nd Place [-Tie!-]
Name: Anya de Lucarde by Twilight Samurai

Score: 36/40 92.5%
Comments: My eyes widened when I scrolled down to first look at this work. I remember smiling while gawking. I love your attention to detail and your skill with color. You blend colors well and the picture doesn't at all look hurtful to the eyes visually. Her weapon was very interesting and so was her tale. You intertwined her into the ongoing Final Fantasy title you were playing very nicely. I believed it. I have not played the game but after reading what you wrote, if I bought that game, I'd wonder where the heck in the game she would join my party. The only thing I can find in this submission that may need a bit of work is your anatomy. Just spending a little time to actually see who certain things look on a body will give you better results on your paper. Gesture also is something that helps artists to keep their figures looking natural and not stiff. You did a great job, Twilight-sama. I love it. :3

Comments: You slacked off on those feet, man. But I'll let that slide because this is one fine entry. I like your drawing right off the bat. Kudos. The weapon caught my interest. Moar kudos. And her story was lively. What more can I ask for? (-Perhaps my kudos back, but...-) You fulfilled all the requirements and did what was asked. Great job, LB. You did well. -commends you- It would be nice if it were colored... at least a little? I know your good at it that Photoshop mess so I'll be disappointed if you refuse. -winces-
3rd Place
Name: Noroimusha by Mizukage
First Impression: 9/10
Execution: 6/10
Concept/Creativity: 9/10
Skill/Artistic Ability: 10/10
Score: 34/40 85%
Comments: I was like omgnowai when I first saw this drawing. It's great~! I love your attention to detail and your creativity got you a near perfect score in that department. I really did get the impression that this guy was a very cursed warrior. (Royally F*cked, in my opinion... I mean he has a broken sword in his chest. That's gotta hurt.) Your description of how he got that way was good as well though as you went on, it started to lose it's purpose. I became involved with "how" to acquire this summon, instead of what I was looking for which was, "how" this summon came into contact with characters from Final Fantasy X. This lowered your score slightly. All in all, this was an amazing piece. :]
