Okay folks, as I said in the last post, this contest was extremely difficult to judge, know that I asked two people for help, and at the end of the day I took some of what they suggested to me, and then agonized over other aspects until I finally decided to make a point system! I ended up judging all of the arts on style, creativity, coloring, and detail.
I won't force you to agonize any longer. Here are the winners!
COUPLE ART WINNER~~ CecySmiles!
Cecy, this drawing made me smile something fierce! I loved the expressions of both my character's face and Hiei's, but what really drew me into this piece the most was your knack for coloring and your ability to spotlight on sweet, innocent moments that made my inner fangirl, well...fangirl.

ONE SHOT/GROUP WINNER~~ Fatmasterson! (Kazuya please read this as well! <3)
Fatmasterson, you and another artist--KazuyaHiro--both created pieces that made me giggle with glee and erupt my fangirl heart into dance! Fatmasterson, your style made me smile something big, while Kazuya, you managed to draw many characters in your piece, including the loveable Ogre! I loved that!
I want you both to know that this category in particular was very hard for me. Kazuya, I love how you took the time to draw the group, and fatmasterson, I love how free and cute your style is. You both deserve to bake cookies for yourselves or whatever your favorite treat is because you both made me smile!
Since, I sadly cannot give the prize to both of you, and I do no have the funds to make a separate category, I had to make a choice and fatmasterson, you are my pick! Thank you both for entering!
Annnnd now, the categories you've been waiting for......
RUNNER'S UP WINNER~~DAYUL!
Dayul, this picture made me giddy. I kidd you not, I actually have this set as my Ipad's Home Screen Wallpaper. There is just something about your style that makes this piece so sweet and carefree. Your style really made me happy!
whee
AND THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST OVERALL IS......
ISHIKIMI!
This piece sent me into fan mode major. As I mentioned to you before, I was impressed with just how accurately your were able to incorporate the anime's style with your own. But beyond that, this scene in general is just fun in general. In fact, as the nerd that I am, I look at it and can clearly hear the character's voices in my head as they interact with this moment you have set for them. It is lively and full of that Yu Yu Hakusho flavor I love so very very much.
THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING!! Winners, expect your prizes within the hour!
