Hello everybody, as many waited for the winners, here they are! But I can say we have a lots of difficulties to break the ice for 3rd position. In fact, I wasn't expecting that there would have a lots of entries, but we took the time to think and the winners has been chosen carefully with a good and consistant opinion.

So let's-a go!

Vision
Yeah,read the description. It pretty much gives more depth to an already
gorgeous pic. There's almost no imperfection, and damn, evil Peach, now
the Peach we used to know will be useful.

Originality:
Evil Peaches have been done, but aren't frequent since Shadow Peach is a
canon thing. So seeing a fresh version with a good backstory is good and
always welcome.

Technique:
From far away looks complicated, but when you click on it and see it full-view... HOLY
FUCKING BANANAS ON A BOAT. The sheer amount of detail is astonishing.
And the black roses with blood drops... I'm still not capable of such
realistic-looking ones...

-Impact:

-As Chivi says, the backstory Inside this picture is rly great, I would have even loved to play to a game with this kind of story Inside. Next, the technique used in this picture for the coloring is just Impressive, i have no better word to describe it. For the Originality, I can say i wouldn't have imagined like this, as for the story, of course, it's a great one and well thought, but i already readed a story similar to it, but hey, with the tons of stories that already exists in the world, how can we create something completly new these days? That's why i removed a half star for the originality, unfortunately. As for the Impact, I completly love the entire picture, apart one detail that rly bothers me, its the color the Artist used for the hair, i don't like it, so that removes a half star for the impact (My reason may sounds stupid, but an impact is an impact, no? ). Finally for the vision, which i removed a complete star, it's because i can see some anatomy mistakes, simply. As you can see, my opinion is more positive than negative, because indeed, i would give this picture the grand price, me too.

And you win.....

Vision:
I find this pic funny. Two old villains join up to cause mischief. And Mario is tied up. Best method ever.

Originality:
Seeing Shadow Peach and Mr. L is something that doesn't surprise, but Yoob...
Yoob being the mount, I never expected that. I never expect Paper Mario
to mixed with Mario & Luigi, and less to be mixed WELL. And Mario in
distress is the cherry on top.

Technique:
It's HARD to see good dry-traditional technique artists who can make good pics as
well. The coloring is full and the shading is smooth. I would never be
able to do such thing, really. At traditional art this one wins. But
this contest isn't about traditional art, so...

-Impact:

-As a traditional art lover, and as an artists that already worked rly well with colored pencils, I know that this took a lots of time coloring this picture, the artist even use several technique that I myself wouldn't be able to use to do such a colorful drawing like this! For the vision, I unfortunately see again some anatomy mistake, but mostly on Shadow Peach this time (i don't know why ) because the rest of the picture is great, thats why i give this picture 3 stars for vision. I almost gave 5 stars for the impact because it is again because of peach's position that i removed a half star. Finally, the reason of why this picture deserves second place is because there us a lots of effort put on this picture, The Artist was rly skilled for the technique and this picture is rly original, i never seen a deviants putting these 3 characters together, even if i rly hate that Yoob because we go Inside, i love it!

And you win.....

-Impact:

-Finally, as we had difficulties to choose the 3rd position, we finally choose this one, why? It's not anybody that would have thought about drawing the Mario Brothers this way, into clowns (if i have right? X,3 ) . I'm not saying I don't like clowns, i just don't like Ronald McDonald XDD. But ok, we're going far from the subject. So, for the vision, I like it, it's like ''Poof Here we are! We're now in the place!'', I can't really explain well my vision, but I can say this would perfectly fits as a poster, I Wonder if I should print it soon... It's for the Originality that I gave you the most star, because as I said previously, only a few deviants would have dared to draw them like this. For the technique, I hate being severe, but I had to be if you want a good and constructive critique. The whole drawing is really great, impressive, as always, because the anatomy is perfect and your style too, (thats a bit why i Watch you

) , but I would dare to say the background is really simple, not that much detailed, as for the shading, well done, without shading mistake but simple and there's no lights (I mean, adding a shiny color as light like you usually do for the other drawings in your gallery), I would be more in love if that drawing would have light. Finally for the impact i gave 4 and a half star because this drawing still gives me a lots of impact, I guess it's due to the several colors you used, I always been a lover of colorful drawings. Bravo! C,:

And you win.....
