Whoa. Impressive.

Though that does bring something of note - whether collab entries are allowed for judging in tandem with solo works. On the flip side, collab weeks sound like a great idea.

[KrackoCloud]

Personally I'm against collabs (esp. w/ Queens! :U), but I won't disallow it. As long as the collabers agree on who the official winner is. Anyway, for the time being, it's too situational and too soon to make a good judgment.

An official collab game would be cool, but hard to organize. It would probably fare better as its own contest outside of GA.

[HakureiSM]

How about we just leave it be and everyone does their best as they can and avoid clogging the games with rules?

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

Vento+vyrien entry: When I saw that in-progress on the stream, my best guess to myself that it was for this... and I was right! 'S most definitely worthy of a vote. :3 +2

[pasu]

Personally I don't see the harm of collabing as it plays to the nature of this thread, as a social (LINK GO )
collabs public or not give a reason to reach out to your fellow players :3

[pineyappled]

Does it matter? If it's a collab, the participants could just come up with a theme together.

[HakureiSM]

Does it matter?

P much, nah.

[KrackoCloud]

Oh man, sorry guys. I thought the votes ended today, not yesterday. :I
The winner may be a little... obvious, by this point, but let's keep in the practice for the sake of runner-ups and feedback.

KazeSenshi: Looks pretty hectic, which makes it hard to appreciate the picture as a whole.
Arkeden: Not bad, but still ended up looking more futuristic than steampunky.
Delfi: It lacks enough detail for the picture to be noticeably Neo-Victorian. I also can't tell who the girl holding Seki's head is. :/
Endless: The dynamics of the hair and clothes feel a bit wonky, but overall I like this one. Wish you had a better scan/shot of this, since it seems kind of slanted.
Bound: This is really great - it fits the theme really well!
Zillion: This one also seems too similar to a futuristic theme.
Kitten4u: Really well done and very colorful. That being said, Marisa's outfit is practically the exact same thing. :U
Piranha: I feel that it lacks enough ambition to fit the theme well, but it's cute and pretty well-drawn. Those blade wings seem a bit off, but it's not a big deal.
EP: Who is this? :<

You really don't want to vote for someone else?

Also friendly reminder that feedback is a nice thing!

[Delfigamer]

Delfi: It lacks enough detail for the picture to be noticeably Neo-Victorian.

I'd say it lacks enough detail to be a picture, just as usual for my drawings, though. :derp:

I also can't tell who the girl holding Seki's head is. :/

Me neither. :derp:

[DX7.EP]

EP: Who is this? :<

I attempted a stylised Nue, and apparently it didn't turn out well. Neither did the rest of the pic.


+2 Vento/Vyrien
Do I really need to comment on how well-made this is? Great combination and use of colouring.

+1 Kitten4u
Clever mix and fits the theme well.

KrackoCloud: Gives a bit of an impression of Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. Hilarious application.
KazeSenshi: Nue the UFO Repairwoman! Right hand seems flipped. While the image is complex and tries to be active - a good thing -
Desu_Cake: A bit simple...and not very effective. Not too much thematic application, and the posture seems stiff.
Arkeden: Not a bad posture, but something strikes me a bit incorrectly. Doesn't look very steampunk.
Delfigamer: Silly text. Theme, where's that? There's also quite a few other things - hm, some sketch practice could help.
Endless Hunger: Quite clean and looks good at first glance. While I like the flowing feel, the dynamics could be worked on a bit.
Bound: Classy and good posture. Victorian yes, but a little more tech for the steampunk part would help.
Zent: Seems futuristic and not steampunk.
Piranha: Simple and rather effective - though more thematic application would help. Would like to see more examples.
Puppy: Simple and somewhat effective. Same thing with more theme.

+1 Vento and Vyrien
+1 Arkeden

Zent: Seems futuristic and not steampunk.

You meant me I think. I'll switch my name back to avoid causing confusion. Feedback...

EP: I couldn't tell who it was.
Delfigamer: Likewise, for the one on the left.
That's all I can really say. In general, I'd have liked to see more machinery and stuff like that (like the UFO in Kaze's, the train in Sixten's). Though I guess I interpreted the theme with too much futuristic-ness.

[Piranha]

+2 Vento/Vyrien
Just breathtaking.

+1 Kracko
Simple idea, but somehow I totally love this one.

[Sixten]

+2 Vento/Vyrien: The perspective errors detract from an otherwise fantastic picture, but this is still the clear winner.

+1 KrackoCloud: Great concept (with the gear) and good execution (with the dress and the pose).

KazeSenshi: Love the UFO, but the arms and legs of the character are a little off.

Desu_Cake: Nice concept. The right shoulder seems a little low to me.

Arkeden: Looks good. Not sure if the pipes in the back are supposed to be a wing or a tail.

Delfigamer: Nothing about this stands out to me, for bad or good.

Endless Hunger: Nice costume. However, gears are supposed to look like they fit together with other gears.

Bound: Looks good. I expected the corset to start higher up the torso though.

ZillionBrain: Nice idea. However, you should be able to see the underside of the propeller based on the viewing angle you've chosen for the bucket.

Kitten4u: Still not a fan of the style, but the option keys are a great idea.

Piranha: The hands are off, but otherwise this looks good.

Werepuppy: Looks good, but the position of the legs in the standing pose is a little unnatural.

EP: Is this Nue? The neck, shoulders, and torso seem very off to me.

I have nothing against collaboration entries, as long as nobody asks me to collaborate with them (I'm retired). I also don't mind the "unfair advantage" of Drama Queens collaborating - we knew they were a team to begin with, and it's not like anyone could beat them when they were working separately anyway.

[Suikama]

it's not like anyone could beat them

why are you still so concerned about winning

[KrackoCloud]

Personally, I don't have as much of an issue about the Queens winning often than I do about the fact that because of this, less people get to come up with themes.

[HakureiSM]

The perspective errors detract from an otherwise fantastic picture

Aight, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while mate, but couldn't find  a way. Your own obsession with perspective and rulers too often detract from your own art, and your critique of others' pieces. You're skilled, but your pieces tend to look rather lifeless and bland because you spent more time putting everything in molds and straight lines than giving emotion to the characters and envinronment. Too often, lighting and texture, body language and expression are what makes a picture, not whether the angle of the walls is perfect or not.
It's just something I've been noticing for a bit, hope you don't take any offense :I
