Results to this!: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/207389267/ *PLEASE TELL ME IF ANY OF THE ENTRANTS HAVE GONE INACTIVE/LEFT OVER THE TIME I WAS GONE, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IN CHECK ;v;* (woa Ivgliss fINALLY posts the results like a month after the thing actually ended!! she's suuuuch a good host!!) [Check the notes & credits for quicker results about the winners for each, continue reading if you want to hear my short rant ;v;] tho the prize info is here so that's probs not a good idea lools Yep I know, and I apologize for the delay, but I've been forbidden to go onto Scratch and this is completely done in secret; sorry for the delay - life has not been easy ;v; and this will probably be the last project you'll see from me in a while ;w; And I had to cut down on the free design request for all participants ;; (I just don't seem to have any time left) Would you all be content with a hug instead? ;; Here are the prizes: FIRST PLACE: The design <3 take good care of them! SECOND PLACE: A design request ;3 but will most likely not be as complex as the ones given in the DTA (those who won second place, list in the comments if you have a preference for a particular theme/species, though I'm only good at mainly feline and sometimes canine species ;v;) and no asking for the exact same design in the DTA or anything similar (sorry if I sound harsh) EVERYONE ELSE: A huggo ;v; Press space to see the first place winners' entries for each design respectively in the order they were presented in the DTA! (sorry I didn't have time to put in second place art) The reasons why they won are listed below v
QUICK RESULTS: (hopefully mobile friendly?) I - Silence of the Thawing Birch: (this was by far the hardest to judge ;;) FIRST PLACE: @lightingstriike! What can I say? I loved the pose, the shading and lighting techniques from the very start, and they're even better displayed in the redraw, which I'm pleasantly surprised by,, (I don't know many other people to remake their DTA entries besides myself or that's just weird antisocial me) and your devotion to Silence's design is heartwarming. What really did it for me was the story in the writing, which explains all the hidden and revealed loneliness in her name and in her overall design and palette,, excellent work! <3 SECOND PLACE: ! First off, thank you for being the only one to use the second hair design xD (okay that's not a viable reason Ivie, pull yourself together) but anyway, darn how I loved how Silence got all her markings by spirits mentioned in the story ;w;; that was something I was not expecting and I thought it was very creative <3 II - Song of the Mountain River: FIRST PLACE: ! When I first saw your entry, I just fell in love with your style hhh <33 (watch as off-screen Ivie gets salty bc she doesn't have as gud a style) Again, the backstory was capturing and I would love to hear more about what happened to Mello and his family afterwards! I can be trusted to put Song of the Mountain River in your hands and I am sure he will travel very far in his story at your pen <3 SECOND PLACE: ! Ack,, the first thing I noticed was the pose; Terra looks so serene, yet so lonely and commiserating. Your style is so cute <3, and the backstory pulled at the heartstrings ;v; III - Whisper of the Summer Breeze okay why was this one so popular ;v; FIRST PLACE: ! Okay, I've always been made salty by your art and now that it's digital guess who has as much sodium chloride in their blood as the four oceans and seven seas put together ;; Amazing work with the backstory and the imagery as usual,, again the writing was so colourful and each line points a clear image to Summer's sorrow and loss,, and I need not say anything about the name calligraphy ;w; SECOND PLACE: I couldn't choose one ;; so y'all have a huggo Again, congrats to those who earned a place! (If characters are not claimed after a while, designs will go to second place - to claim, list your presence in the comments) Second place winners, be sure to also 'collect' your prize by letting me know below, and again, state any preferences in theme or species! [feline or canine] This was surprisingly successful for a first contest, and this actually started out as a 50+ DTA, but the numbers promptly doubled while this was opened! Thank you to all who participated and have a huggo ;3 Until the next predawn, eventide from Ivgliss! // ignore the terrible art i made in the thumbnail,, that was done over a month ago shriek // and excuse me if there are any errors in here, this was very rushed Music is 凉凉 - blep I don't remember the entire citation ;v;
