We were drawn in by the style and overall mood of the piece. The unique pose and use of colors tell you a lot about the style of the artist. The fox nustling up to the woman is also very cute.
3rd~5th place
- Cash Prize: US$200
- Clip Studio Paint EX activation code (Dual-device plan, 1 year) or 5,000 GOLD
3rd place
The cute cat and bright red flowers go so well together. The fact that the cat’s face is hidden behind the flower makes him even more charming, making it hard not to imagine what he must look like!
4th place
The small, yet pretty flowers in full bloom in the rain are very beautifully drawn. The composition of the character’s face in the puddle also draw the eye into the piece.
5th place
This piece was rated for its high-quality design. The fine lines are so delicately drawn, with so much attention to detail, it’s hard to get bored of this piece, no matter how long you look at it.
6th~10th place
- Cash Prize: US$100
- Clip Studio Paint PRO Activation Code (Dual-device plan, 1 year) or 3,000 GOLD
6th place
The choice of colors and the painterly strokes are so appealing to look at. It’s fun to imagine the relationship between the two people playing their instruments, what the door floating in the sky is, and the world this piece is in.
7th place
The girl’s beautiful hair mixes well with the plants. You can tell that the artist chose the colors carefully to catch the viewer’s eye. The girl’s wide grin makes you want to smile with her, doesn’t it?
8th place
We were taken in by the cute characters and had a feeling of excitement looking at the big boat floating in the sea of flowers. The sky and the flowers, two elements that are very distant from each other, combine well in this piece.
9th place
Is the fox an adventurer? The flowers the fox finds in the old-looking, dimly lit greenhouse seem fascinating. It makes us wonder what he’ll discover in his study of these flowers.
10th place
We’re curious about what kind of flower it is that the man is touching in this piece. His expression is so subtle and can be interpreted in so many different ways.

At first glance, it seemed like quite a warm piece. But on closer inspection, you notice the sword sticking through the helmet and it makes you wonder what kind of story is behind the picture. The girl's gentle nature and lighting of the piece go hand in hand.
