So, the contest is over and finally judged.
I’d like to thank everyone who entered! The turn out was outstanding. We had 34 entries, and everyone’s entry was awesome.
3rd place went to Sarah Wu.
2nd place went to Reka.
And 1st place went to JETZERO! (Who, you can also see on this week’s WGA)
A massive congratulations to you three winners! Thank everyone for entering the contest. We here at Mega Man Network were truly honored to get such massive response to it. Hope to see you all again on our next contest!
You can see all the entries, and the winners over here on our galleries
cool stuff. Props to everyone that entered! Thanks for making me pick up the pencil for the first time in a long time, Mega Man Network! Even though I didn’t place, I had fun trying.
3rd place cracked me up. Though I think first place is great, I think second place is actually my personal favorite. Good job, Reka!
TRIBE ON OUTRAGEOUS ORANGE YEAAAAAA
Can you change Chad Job to Advent Axl please… no one will know who that is…
Changed. Sorry about that. If people didn’t submit a screen name, I used whatever was listed on their emails.
@Advent Axl
We both decided to go with a Volley Ball theme in our pics
*digital high five*
I didn’t really get a summerish vibe from that first place, but whatever, I wasn’t a member of the judges xD the outrageous orange made me grin :3 and I notice 2nd place used different eyestyles (luna’s eyes are rounder, in official art they look say.. sharper)
I also agree with Ron L, I didn’t get the summer vibe either because reenactments can happen any time of the year. But to each their own.
You know, Jemuel Lewis’ entry makes me laugh because of how bad the photo capture of it is. The tablecloth takes up as much space as the picture. XD
It looks like it was a very close race between first and second place. I think I might actually prefer Reka’s entry because there are some noticeable faults with Jetzero’s – namely the foreground being underlit and the buildings being totally out of perspective with each other. But I can imagine the scope and colouring prowess of the enrty won the judges over, and there’s little I can argue with that. Kudos to Jetzero! Enjoy your first prize stash.
@Hae: Technically, they can. But those civil war nerds who live here in my area always wait till summer to do their mock battles. I guess they don’t want to freeze.
and yes, Glitcher is right. It was the scope and coloring that nailed it. That, and the creativity. I wanted to see what else people could do besides stereotypical summer things.
I agree with you guys entirely. I also like the Second place entry the most, I think it shows the greatest amount of skill. and yeah, I don’t get much of a summer vibe form my entry either, comparing it to the others. But I’m not a summer person, so getting a summer vibe for me is… well, next to impossible.
Hae, where I’m from, re-enactments only happen in the summer, because in Canada the summer is the only time of the year the weather is decent enough for this kind of event. The rest of the year, we get too much rain/snow/ice/landslides/volcanic eruptions. XD Ok that last one was a stretch, but you get the point.
And Glitch, I agree on your points too. I could have done better with the lighting and the backgrounds with a reference maybe, but since I worked without one that’s the best I can muster. I’m an amateur, unlike you.
Not to sound ungrateful or anything. I’m glad the contest was a smashing success and I hope everyone had a good time. I hope this further inspires artistic endeavors and adds to the fandom of the Mega Man franchise.
I was actually pleasantly surprised to see so many big group pics among the entrants. While I figured the usual characters would get their spotlight, it was nice that so many of you guys incorporated a bunch of ‘em.
Congrats winners, and there were many cool ones among the other 30 that deserved to place as well.
Rock: Don’t I know it. Sucks when you can only choose three, but there’s soooo many good entries.
Congratulations to JetZero and the other two winners! Even though re-enactments can occur any time of the year, the first place entry has a distinct midsummer evening heat coming from it– very cool idea.
I agree that plenty of other entries were deserving. Great job everyone:)
Rousteinire’s was by far the most technically well excecuted, too bad that one didn’t place.
