Sketch Contest (Mortbane 1079 AE Part 2)

Having only 4 people submit entries, rather than having the Top 3 move on for the coloring contest, all the entries can be colored! On top of that, the vault points have been redistributed among the participants, so instead of getting 10 points, everyone gets 25! Your Part 2 Winners are:

First Place (100k + 25vp)
"Epilogue" by Morag D based on "Epilogue" by Tzu (+10k to Tzu)

This is just perfect. Great work and I know this will be fun to color. Your style of line art goes into alot of detail, but the lines themselves are very trusting. They are just lines, they don't try to explain anything but the shape of things. It is a great scene, we know exactly where this is taking place and the characters are recognizable instantly.

Second Place (75k + 25vp)
"The Choice" by Tzu, based on "The Raven's Egg" by Aquabeard (+10k to Aquabeard)

Lots of work went into that armor! Wow! This story was a little tougher to illustrate, I think, because there was a huge cast of characters that were not available for reference. But you have illustrated the theme of the story and Grim's decision very well. Every now and then we come to these decisions where choosing isn't the difficult part, but living with the choice is. Grim would have saved Roan no matter what, but the cost of it would always be with him. I love seeing everyone's charr cub designs, and I have to say it would be easy to save a sweet face like that, and makes it even harder to believe it's the face of a killer.

Third Place (50k + 25vp)
by Luca, based on "Reflection" by Peter Gallant (+10k to Peter Gallant)

Well, it is the face of a killer, but he can't help it. Look at his role model. Last day of the contest, I didn't think anyone was going to try this story. There were several scenes that would have been fun to illustrate, but none of them really express the essence of this story quite like the revelation in the tent. I like this because it is an honest sketch in every sense.

Fourth Place (25k +25vp)
By William Koshi, based on "Epilogue" by Tzu (+10k to Tzu)

Koshi has fun with big projects. Long stories and flashy portraits, all very quickly too. This was the first entry to the contest, it had no colors and technically <em>could</em> be colored by someone else. By most people's standards it isn't a "sketch" but if I were to sketch something with pencil, I might go into as much detail with shading. This just happened to be the digital version of that. It's a great picture and would be a nice cover illustration. And talk about a cute baby charr!

So to tally up all the prizes earned in this round:
Morag D: 100k + 25vp
Tzu: 95k + 25vp (75+10*+10*)
Luca: 50k + 25vp
Koshi: 25k + 25vp
Aquabeard: 10k*
Peter Gallant: 10k*

And since all the stories were used by the Top 3(4) in this round, Aquabeard, Peter Gallant, and Tzu are all still eligible for the bonus.
