CONTEST WINNERS!!

Thank you to everyone who participated. We enjoyed seeing what you could come up with and we're glad you all took the time to take part in our contest. We want to thanks EVERYONE who participated in the contest as well as donated prizes and helped spread the word around about it. Without further ado, here are the winners:


1st place - BLUberrypanda with Dark Elements What made this the undeniable winner to us judges (DarkElements10,Dark-Tundra-Chaos, and StarGurl44) was the use of the color and how our characters were incorporated. We feel that they really captured the idea of the DarkElements not only in thier poses but how the name was written at the bottom, and also how they designed the background for each person.

2nd place - CatharsisGaze with DarkElements Contest Entry This pic got second place! What really blew us away was the fact that you could draw our characters with instruments AND because it was done with colored pencils. The colors are incredibly vibrant and you really captured how the Jacksons work together, but have fun in a studio. We felt like this was a picture taken at a moment in time. The perspective was done nicely as well. Plus, for people who can't draw instruments, this made us insanely jealous of you. lol

3rd place - MansdefenderOakgrove with School Contest What made this stand out was the drawing style and how you kept the personalities with our characters perfectly. As well, it was one of the few that featured our secondary character, Nic and Tristan. The colors are great and the caption that went along with the picture is awesome too, really making us laugh. We also loved the background and how it has music notes swirling behind them.

Also, we'd like to give an honorable mention to tiger002 with his work They Made It. He was the only one to submit a literature submission, which is always great to read. He really encompassed all of our character's personalities (despite it being hard for him to write Rhuben lol) and he really did his research on their background and how they act and feel about things to make sure that our characters...well, stayed in character.

We'd also like to give honorable mention to Tainted-Rose-Thorns with their submission Headstrong. This was another deviation that caught our attention because someone could do what we can't; draw instruments. We like that they incorporated all of our characters to show the band setting that they're normally in, and the colors are great and we think it's cool how it was drawin inside the circle, like it's an actual CD.

And last but not least, honorable mention to SilverWinge for their submission DarkElements Contest Entry. We're always a sucker for chibi pictures and this was just so cute. Plus, I don't think even we've drawn a picture of Rhuben and Patrick together, but showing them with their instruments is great. Patrick's facial expression matches his personality perfectly and again,we're jealous that you can draw instruments, even that small. lol

Thanks again to all of the participants, we enjoyed seeing what ideas you came up with. You should all be proud of yourselves and we hope you had fun. The prizes are listed below, it's UP TO YOU to contact those that owe you your prizes.

Cheers,
-Riles and Rhubes
