The judges' deliberation is OVER!

And after thoroughly checking our impressive thirty entries we have decided...


Third Place goes to...

's O Mighty Ocean, Guide Us
What the judges were saying...
_{Not only does the picture display emotions between the characters, but also a thoughtful background and knowledge of the game's atmosphere! Bravo!~}

Second Place goes to...

's Show No Fear
What the judges were saying...
_{The interesting perspective and mixture of bizarre shadows and textures gives a haunting picture-book esque quality to this piece. Lovely work!}

First Place goes to...

's Last Hope
What the judges were saying...
_{Wow! Is the first impression, I think. ~gerugeon managed to fit all those characters in, in a way that doesn't feel crowded or bumbled together. You can tell the artist's skills with the colored pencil are amazing, which is a definite bonus to the theme of the contest. Congratulations!}



Thanks to all who entered, commented, and favorited the entries.
Y'all did a wonderful job!

See you for the next one!

Concept

Traditional Art

Well, well! Looks like we're going to go back in time!

for this contest, we are only allowing traditional art tools. That means pencil art, colored pencils, crayons, pastels, charcoal, markers, paint etc.

You are NOT allowed to use digital tools like photoshop. Believe me, I can tell the difference between CG and traditional. In fact, most people can. So, don't cheat.

Afraid of traditional tools? Don't think you can do it? WHAT!? You're an ARTIST! You can do anything, remember! It just takes a little practice.

Here are some additional rules:

-- You can chose any game you want to draw from.

-- You may do games that are third party, this time. Like, Sonic the Hedgehog or Snake.

-- It can be a game that is also on another console as long as the game has its origins on a Nintendo Console, or has been on a Nintendo console before.

-- You may have more than one character to an image.

-- Your entry must be one made for this contest. You can't enter something you submitted before this contest was created.

-- You may only have one entry

-- Keep it PG13. NO NIPPLES. NO SEX CRAP. NO EXTREME GORE!
