The results are in! Here's the grid used by Monk-E, this month's judge, to rate the sketches: /30 calligraphical structure and the strenght and complexity of the letter /20 originality and unicity of artistic identity /20 colours, textures and effects /20 composition and mouvements /10 background and/or characters, the environnement in which the lettering is placed "30 points out of 100 were based on the lettering itself. The naked calligraphic structure without all the special effect and colours. The three winners showed high level of understanding of styles and letters but also had the advantage of surrounding their respective strong pieces with interesting ideas and original context." And the winners are... 3rd place goes to YOUNG_BAZTO_416 28/19/16/16/8 = 87 "I really enjoy the letters and the originality of the context in which he decided to show it. The original background gave him good points on originality and artistic identity but also made him loose a bit on the other categories. The burner style wildstyle is perfect to enjoy the beauty of his lettering style but is a bit too simple as far as special effects goes." 2nd place goes to WORDJEHZ 29/18/17/16/8 =88 "In my opinion this wildstyle was the most solid lettering of the whole competition. Some points were lost as far as the simplicity of colouring and background composition. But still, the letters have mouvements and a lot of character to it. You had a little bboy on the side and you are qualified for 2nd place." 1st place goes to Ekose22 27/18/18/17/9 = 89 "Overall, this art piece is the most complete of all drawings proposed. The composition, the letters, the colours are just perfectly balanced. It shows maturity and good taste. Your hard work gave you the winning position my friend. To be enjoyed in humility " -------------------------- Thanks to everybody who submitted their sketch! You can check all the submissions on this page.
