Well, since writing these things help me organize my thoughts, I might as well. I apologise if I sound harsh. I'll try to tone it down since this was all in good fun.
M!dori - Dang it, both your entries are great and I honestly am having a hard time placing them. I really enjoy the realism one, but your first one is so adorable and reflects this whole wedding and couple dynamic well. Oh and it has an adorable fail!whale. War may not like your choices in rings, but I find them apt.
Jer0nim0 - War and I still cringe at the sight of this piece, but less so for me. It is very well done and Diedrich makes me lol and die a little everytime I look...there. I love War's outfit and their expressions are spot on. With regards to realism, though, M! beats you.
ade4 - I'm pleased you drew that scenario as most overlook it. It's clear you spent a good amount of time on it and I like that you didn't slack on clothing detail. That being said, it's not up to par with the other entries, but you have the advantage of attempting one of my favourite scenarios.
Kuro - The detail is very impressive for pixel art and I love the pose. I'm partial also to this type of art because I like drawing that way myself and I don't usually get art in that medium. Clothing, headwings, gun, and the pale marionette are awesome. I especially like that gun.
So, I've decided after all that rambling. It may come as a shock for some, or not. We'll see~
First PlaceM!doriThis may not be in a realistic style and whatnot, but I find that it is the best to represent just how War and I even met and our characters well.
Second PlaceJer0nim0What? Nim not winning first place in one of my art contests?! o:
Anyway, as much as I love this piece, the fact that War and I can't look at it for very long does detract from it. I still love you for this a lot. XD
M!doriLawl, I thought it fitting to put both in second. I love your art and the fact that you managed to fit man legs in heels like that is impressive.
Third PlaceKuroyanagikaFantastic work and great pose. I adore this, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's not up to par with the works of Nim and M. Not that I like it any less, but this is an art contest and I have to judge both by quality and content.
Honourable Mentionade4You were bold enough to enter, which I give you props for. You also did a good piece and there was no slacking on detail. I think you have great potential in becoming better at drawing if you keep at it.
And that concludes ALL contests! Congrats to all winners! I'll be sending trade shortly.
