1st place: #4
by Psycho-kyugurl (dA)
[LINK]
PRIZE: CG waist-up couple/2 characters (not two separate pics!) or CG waist-up/1 character or CG Fullbody chibi or Speedpaint waist-up or 500k (in Gaia gold)
Comments from me:
I absolutely love the composition and mood in this piece! The situation is portrayed very well with a beautiful background and a stylized use of color. I'm amazed by the amount of detail in this as well, from the shoes next to her bag and the bushes far away. WINNER! >w<
Comments from anime_hunter:
Uwah. I think that the interaction is gorgeous! I truly do. I mean, look. There’s a cellphone on the ground and it’s probably from Kazuki cussing out on her or something. She’s obviously crushed by this and Masao comes right away to her aid. The setting is beautiful and the colours mesh quite well.

PRIZE: CG waist-up/1 character or CG Fullbody chibi or Speedpaint waist-up or 200k
Comments from me:
I love their poses! I think their roles are drawn out very well in this piece, and the background is a beautiful addition to the overall composition. Great work!! >w<
Comments from anime_hunter:
I like this one a lot. Not only is Masao seemingly protecting her, but Emi looks like a rich lady which pretty much fit’s the description. She looks pure (( even though she really isn’t )) and he fits his role perfectly. Their expression is really nice.

PRIZE: CG Headshot chibi or Waist-up sketch or 100k
Comments from me:
If you can read the text, it's hilarious. xD I love how Masao looks vaguely like a top host and Emi an unwilling lady at a host club! Beautiful textures and coloring as well! *w*
Comments from anime_hunter:
WOW. Another perfect one? Oh my, oh dear!
The interaction is nice. Emi disregards Masao’s little presentation but that doesn’t mean she dislikes his touch as she blushes. The lines are sketchy, but that is nothing compared to her textures with different brushes with Emi’s hair and Masao’s shirt. Also, to be able to have a hand reaching out with perfect proportions, it’s simply amazing.

PRIZE: Bust-up sketch or 50k
Comments from me:
I really like the poses for these two--somewhat solemn, without being overly mushy. I think the artist did a wonderful job with their expressions, and the entire piece flows together very well. Great work!! >w<
Comments from anime_hunter:
Wow. Water paints? That’s amazing! Especially since it’s so risky with what you could screw up. Like dropping a coloured drop on the wrong spot or making it too wet. I admire the caution in the picture and yet it looks so natural, especially their hair.

PRIZE: Bust-up celshade CG or 50k
Comments from me:
This is such an adorable portrayal of tsundere!Emi. I love the use of textures and color to create the distinctive mood for the piece. It's beautiful! <33
Comments from anime_hunter:
I really like this piece. The colours match each other very well and there’s no fear in using lines to emphasize in shadows and dimension.

Honorable Mention: #28
by Hikara-Productions
[LINK] [LINK] [LINK]
PRIZE: Bust-up celshade CG or 50k
Comments from me:
I made this category last-minute because this is simply stunning. I am touched by the effort and dedication in this piece, and would regret to see it go without winning anything. The artist captured the personalities and situations of the characters superbly, without resorting to the typical 2D portrayal I often see. This gives Emi and Masao the depth that most fanart of them lack--huge kudos to that. Amazing work!!
Comments from anime_hunter:
This one. . .is actually the one I think should win hands down.
Even though some angles are off and some parts are big for proportions, the effort placed onto it is flabbergasting. I think the artist captured their character really well from Emi’s anger to her pain and Masao’s insight to this.
Really. This won me over, and it’s basically 3 submissions for one. Backgrounds with CG and. . .wow.

M I N I ♥ C O N T E S T


I have set the deadline for the finished product to May 31st, 2009.

You don't need a WIP anymore because I understand if people are busy (I am myself). ^^;

Hi! I'm planning on leaving Gaia sometime this year.
Prizes include art, or if you don't want that, I'm offering gold.
At any rate, this is the last time I'm drawing for Gaia if you choose that option. I hope this is worth it. >w< <3




. . . . . . . . . .

Your mission?
Draw my OC couple, Emi & Masao (see post #2).
You can play around with their outfits, but please keep their hair colors (listed in appearance descriptions), hair styles, and eye colors intact. :]
By the way, when you submit your piece, please explicitly say it's for the contest! xD

*Max 2 entries per person.
*Types of art allowed: Digital, traditional, chibi (but regular preferred). Must be colored. In general, anime styles are preferred over realistic.
*Please PM (on Gaia) or note (on dA) me your entries! whee I will show all of them when the contest is over, because I don't want potential entrants to get discouraged by others' entries. xD

内容
・オリジナルキャラの恵美・雅夫ペアを内容とした絵のコンテストです。
・服などは変えていただいても結構です。
・一人によって最大二枚エントリーできます。
・デジタルでもTraditionalでも結構です。
・エントリーはPMかdAのノートでおねがいします。コンテストが終わったら皆様の作品をお見せします。

. . . . . . . . . .

Judging
I will be judging, possibly with two other people or so, based on:
1. Interaction
(Fun interactions between the characters always win!) (Clarification: Interacting, as in, don't draw them just standing next to each other. Give them a little a little background story or something. The better interaction, the more likely the piece will win. Be creative. Have fun!)
2. Accuracy
(Don't draw them too OOC? ; w; )
3. Skill
(Self-evident.)

審査
・キャラクターのインターアクション
・キャラクターの性格が大体あっているか
・絵の技術

. . . . . . . . . .

Prizes

(1) First place:
CG waist-up couple/2 characters (not two separate pics!) or CG waist-up/1 character or CG Fullbody chibi or Speedpaint waist-up or 500k (in Gaia gold)
(2) Second place:
CG waist-up/1 character or CG Fullbody chibi or Speedpaint waist-up or 200k
(3) Third place:
CG Headshot chibi or Waist-up sketch or 100k
(4) Fourth place: [ People's Choice ]
Bust-up sketch or 50k

*Non-chibi CG art will generally include a bit of background. The detail in the background depends on whether or not it would suit the overall composition (i.e. artistic freedom here).

[ EMI MASAO ]


General refs 'n' details package!
(aka what I copy paste on every shop's form = u=b )



OKAZAKI EMI
岡崎恵美 (おかざきえみ)


Basics
Age: 16 years old (sophomore)
Birthdate: April 3rd (Aries)
Hobby: Stalking Kazuki, formulating devious plans to win Kazuki's heart, tennis.
Info
Emi is the heiress to a large publishing company. She is also Kazuki's former girlfriend, and still has a crush on him. Emi is aggressive, very assertive, and strong will backed up by powerful family, and with this personality, she commands the boss of her family's "bodyguard" (gang in actuality), Masao. Despite her outward personality, she is very sensitive and is often stung to the core by Kazuki's blunt remarks.
Appearance
Reddish brown hair, yellowish brown eyes. Has two hair clips on either side of her head. She goes to a different school, so she wears a different uniform. Her style is sporty or cute.
Relationships
Masao: The boss of the Okazaki family's bodyguard troupe (aka gang). She orders him around like a well-trained dog, though he does object to things she says sometimes. He is an irreplaceable figure to Emi, as he is always with her in some way or another, though he does not realize it. However, Emi scorns the very idea of being in a relationship with him. Of course, she folds eventually.
Kazuki: Ex-boyfriend-and-possibly-betrothed. Emi likes Kazuki. Kazuki doesn't like Emi, and says he never did. Emi's publishing family is good friends with Kazuki's actor family, and so, when they were living in America, their parents thought it'd be great if their children got married. When Kazuki went to Japan, Emi chased after him.
Yuuko: Emi hates Yuuko. Yuuko feels bad about "taking her man," as Emi puts it, and distances herself from Kazuki.



TAKANO MASAO
高野雅夫 (たかのまさお)


Basics
Age: 19 years old
Birthdate: May 5th
Hobby: Going to arcades, doing his job (as a gang member…), drinking orange juice, fiddling with electronics
Info
Masao is the boss of the Okazaki gang. He is cool, collected, seemingly maniacal to some, and is generally avoided by most people. Though he seems not to care about anything, and is sometimes melancholy, there is a certain childishness about him. He likes to tinker with mechanical items in his spare time while drinking OJ like a good little boy.
Appearance
Dyed white hair, red contacts. His real eye color is brown. He wears red contacts by order of Emi, who thinks it makes him more intimidating to opponents.
Defining attributes: Leather jacket with fuzz, but a shirt and tie underneath.
Relationships
Emi: His boss. Masao often bickers with Emi when her plans sound absurd, but often ends up complying. He is almost always with her as a sort of bodyguard (which is his job anyway). Masao has known for a long time that Emi fancies Kazuki, but to his chagrin, he falls for her anyway.
Kazuki: Masao hates Kazuki. He finds it annoying how this little boy can make Emi run in circles, and how Emi won't snap out of the spell.
Yuuko: Masao seems to know her somehow.
