SO, today, I went to 's house, and after a great reunion we went to starbucks coffee shop, and tried to do the judging there... >8DDDD

And theenn.. we fought A LOT >8DDD we even made a ruckus there LOL. some ppl around us noticed what we were doing and stared at us

My first choice of the winners was TOTALLY DIFFERENT from hers. And after we finally agreed the top 5, it was really hard to choose who would be the winners >_____< *shicmap even tried to choose randomly by constructing a Java program LOL XDDD

But then... we finally realized that the traditional way is the best XDD




So, here's the TOP 10 entries (randomly mentioned)

BLOODSTROKE [link]
Great composition, great details and she can shows which characters belong to the darkness, and which are good ones. But overall, it doesnt look really attractive.


ERRAND GARDEN 1 [link]
Its really nice, the logo, the background, beautiful colors, effects, and the composition. But the expression of the characters are a bit off.


CHILD OF UNKNOWN [link]
Really nice illustration, very good details, colorful, and a nice abstract background. This cover does represent the story well. Unfortunately, the logo and title are overwhelmed by the colors and illustration itself. You should make the logo bigger and more catchy.


FLOWERS OF FLUSIA [link]
The composition and the illustration are basically perfect. And I like how you put so many characters of the story there. But, the logo and title are too small. This submission is better as a chapter cover.


SILENT SKY [link]
I really like the logo. Its clear, and just simple! And you also combined it with Japanese letters, that makes it interesting. But the simplicity doesn't represent the genre and the story.



TOP 5 entries

S.A.D [link]
Overall the cover is perfect. I like how the ambience shows the genre really well. We like the logo so much and the idea is really original.


ALICE & THE MAGICIAN [link]
The illustration is REALLY GREAT And so is the logo. But its kinda too colorful and crowded with its background, especially there is some sort of fabric folding pattern that makes it really looks crowded.

and..... for the winners... >8DDDDDDDDDDD

THE WINNERS:

3rd PLACE

Very great logo!!!!!!!!! the logo is very OUTSTANDING!!!!!! And the composition of the illustration is just right. But the colors are too soft, and the white background doesn't fit well here. You should stress Valkryst's aura by giving some more effects or maybe the easiest way is by using darker colors for the background that is gradated from dark to white around him.


2nd PLACE
[link]
The illustration is really great. its really peaceful and we can feel that peacefulness was disturbed by that character. Unfortunately we think it would be better if you get rid of the black area on the bottom or maybe reduce that area. The logo is also a little bit confusing, we mean the font that you used just doesn't fit the cover.

1st PLACE

The ambience is perfect! We can feel the sadness of the character but there is a light of hope in that sadness. But the font you chose doesnt match with the sadness feeling. You should use calligraphic-like letter that represents softer feelings.


CONGRATS TO ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS!! I'll edit this journal later LOL
