Here's what Asend had to say about this battle: "Huge thanks to all the contestants for their work, it was a hard decision between first and second place, but keeping in mind the rules:" First Prize: TWO ONE Two One’s letters and overall flow were more evolved, and while some contestants applied more detail - the competition’s first consideration was style, and Two one edges to first place. Second Prize: JOPSAE Jobsae did an incredibly detailed job and was a clear standout. Huge effort and strong second place. Third Prize: LADY NINA Lady Nina did an amazing job in her letters as well and overall piece with background. Solid top three. Click here to see all the sketches that were submitted for the battle.
All worthy of winning. But that Lady Nina piece probably should have been number one. No hate at all. Not even a tiny bit. But those letters are ferocious before you even get to her color scheme and details. The overall balance of the piece is amazing. Plus the way she flows the top and anchors the bottom. I love the other two. For real. But to me, Two's piece looks like it is flowing more to the right which they may have intended no doubt. But it looks unbalanced compared to LadyK. If flow was the deciding factor, there you go. This is all my opinion and in the end, all of this shit burns like a flamethrower on the surface of the sun.
congratulations and peace to you all! pd: please return me the spanish ham I sent to the administrator and the judge
i guess it makes sense that the winners would be people who enjoy coloring over letter structure because the prize is a bunch of coloring pens. keep on coloring and ill keep making my letter structure better and better. we all know these aren't very good choices for the winners. oh well. congratulations hope you can enjoy coloring more
