Chasing Butterflies CONTEST WINNERS!!!

Journal Entry: Tue May 6, 2008, 6:32 PM
So, the moment everyone's been waiting for has finally arrived: the Chasing Butterflies contest is over, and the winners are about to be announced!!! (Finally!) :D Alrighty then... no preamble! Here's what I judged on:

" a) The Butterfly(s)- These will be graded on their design, coloring, personality, and creativity. Always remember that doing more than one is a significant help!

b) The Background- The background won't count very much. Just make it as best you can, and don't have it resemble mine, or you will lose points.

c) The CAT(S)- The cat(s) will count the most, seeing as they are the object of the contest. Any and all cats you have pictured will be graded on accuracy of colors and markings, eyes, etc. (you can't really get this wrong, since they're your characters! XD), personality, and position. It seems like a little, but the cat(s) can help you break it or make it. Always remember that doing more than one is a significant help! :D"


And, of course, the quality of the picture. It was SOOOOO hard to choose!!! :faint: Now, from honorable mention to first place, here are the winners:



Silversmoke prizes- For drawing Silversmoke as well as your own charrie, you were rewarded a special prize. (If you placed in other areas, you are not counted here.)

1. :iconfoxyadder: with [link]

2. :iconstarglazer: with [link]

Honorable Mentions- Originally, there was only supposed to be one honorable mention, but I since I loved so many of your pieces, I just had to have more!

1. :icondaydreamer405179: with [link] ...Even though your background was hard to see, your cat was plain and clear... and beautiful. I loved how you gave me a sense of who the character really was, and I just adore the expression! :hug:

2. :iconunistar2000: with [link] ...I love your perspective on this piece; the angle creates a certain "flying" aspect to the picture. And I agree with you that that is the most detailed butterfly I've ever seen. Overall, two thumbs up! :hug:

3. :iconhrtbwm: with [link] ...I just have to love the design and expression of this character. What else can I say? :D :hug:

4. :iconkiwipeaches: with [link] ...I absolutely adore this picture! It's so bright, and the cats' faces are so perfectly in tune with their personalities! The butterfly is very pretty. :hug:

5. :iconspottedxtalon: with [link] ...I simply love the cat's expression in this picture. The butterfly is very nice too, but it's the cat who makes it. Good job! :hug:

All of you have earned a poem or short story of a cat or wolf character, WARRIORS or your own. Please let me know what you'd like! :D


Third Place- I also added two extra winners to this catagory, since so many were very good...

1. :iconpunk14: with [link] ...This is truly a beautiful picture in all ways. I love the simplicity of the background and butterfly, and all the colors in the cat's fur. Very well done! :hug:

2. :iconkaboomkat: with [link] ...Spirit seems like a very sweet and unusual character, and I like the way his face looks. The butterfly is very beautiful too, and I'd have to say that the only thing missing would be a background. Very good! :hug:

3. :iconhorseytamer1: with [link] ...First off, I love the angle. It makes for such a lovely picture. And then the cats are even more pretty... I love how you portrayed Silversmoke in this piece! The butterfly is georgous; I like how you designed it. :hug:

4. :iconjextheassassin: with [link] ...I personally think that the best thing about this wonderful picture is the personality it has. I love how Foxwhiskers seems to have so much confidence and spunk... it's beautiful! :hug:

All of you have earned a sketch of a WARRIORS character of your choice, with colored dots for a b/g. Please let me know what you'd like! :D Also, :iconpunk14: and :iconkaboomkat:, please note :iconjextheassassin: for your additional prize: a detailed picture of the character in your entry with a background, fully colored.


Second Place- Now we're getting to the big winners! :D Lol, here's to you guys:

1. :iconlightstream-kitty: with [link] ...There is so much to say about this beautiful piece, and I just can't find the right words. I guess I'll have to settle for saying that I love the shading on the cat, and the butterfly is very pretty! :hug:

2. :icondarki44: with [link] ...The background on this is nice, and I love the colors and position of the cat. The butterfly is truly "win," and in fact I think it's the highlight of the whole picture. :hug:

You both earned a free lineart (may or may not be colored, depending on character), of a character of your choice, which may or may not include a background. :D Also, remember to note :iconkiwipeaches: for you additional prize: a detailed picture of a character of your choice, fully colored, with a background.


First Place- Well, what can I say? You guys WON!!! :D

2. :iconaquakacheek: with [link] ...I love the amount of detail put into this picture, especially in the background and the butterflies. The picture looks like it's taking place right in front of you! Good job! :hug:

And the OVERALL FIRST PLACE WINNER FOR THE ENTIRE CONTEST is...

***#1!!!!*** :iconwinter-ferret: with [link] ...This is truly breathtakingly stunning. I don't know what to say. The butterflies are exotic and varied, the background is magical in its own special way, and the cats look like they will start moving at any second. Congratulations, and well done!!! :hug: :hug: :hug:

Both of you have earned a detailed picture of the character in your picture and one other character of your choice, WARRIORS or your own, colored in, with a background. :D Also, don't forget to note :iconsun-wing: for your additional prize: Both of the characters of your choice together in a detailed picture, colored in, with a background.

Thanks to everyone who participated for your time and effort! I sincerely enjoyed each and every picture, and it was SOOOO hard to choose who would win. :hug:s for everyone!!!

Yes yes yes!!! finished, and am scanning it in right now!!! I finished it at my brother's baseball game, which lasted like 3 hours, and it was about 50 degrees outside, with a really cold wind. Brr.... it was a wonder I could still color, my fingers were so frozen.
But thanks for still adding me, I really appreciate it!!! I hope you like my cats.
