3rd place
A colorful and energetic piece. The flying cars are highly appealing and just looking at them makes you feel like you are part of the journey.
5th place
At first, our eye was drawn to the character playing the trumpet, then when we discovered the flying manta rays, we were directly transported into a magical, fantastic world!
6th - 10th place
- US$100 cash prize
- Clip Studio Paint PRO Activation Code (Dual-device plan, 1 year) or 3,000 GOLD
6th place
This black and white work is sprinkled with red details, which create an interesting contrast. Many characters have been drawn in detail, making us want to look at the illustration more and more.
7th place
The character's facial expression as well as the memos stuck on the lamp clearly show how hard she is working on her creation. What kind of illustration could she be working on?
8th place
The gentle flow of time is beautifully reflected in this artwork, and the use of color focusing on orange and light blue are equally beautiful. This is the kind of vacation we'd love to have!
9th place
This tea party with frog friends looks like a lot of fun! It's also interesting to note that the strawberries on the cake look huge compared to the size of the characters.
10th place
The use of color evokes the clear winter air, and also reminds us of once again of the pleasure of skiing. The charming drawing style is also quite appealing.
