1st Place
Coffee Plus Stylus
The amount of details in this piece blew me away! Click to zoom- the textures on the gold sleeves are immaculate, and I love the touch with the glowing sealing spell.
2nd Place
Fallen
The vibrant colors and dynamic perspective easily made this one of my favorite pieces. I really fell in love with the style!
3rd-6th Place

Johnny Vu
The heavy detail work for the background elements and the way they all frame Ariza is brilliantly done! Love the various masks and elements!
Katherine Fortune
I'm a sucker for pastel palettes and this one hit hard home! Love the soft look of this.
Armin Sokocevic
The traditional manga look of this one really caught my eye, and I love the pose, for obvious reasons- great use of dynamic anatomy!
Honorable Mentions
Cynthia Michelle
This entry's so cute, I love the style!
Alex Waskelo
I really appreciate the details and perspective here- twilight/evening lighting in a city glow setting is a very difficult look to nail, and it was done wonderfully here!
Ellen Thomas
Giulio Sciaccaluga
I love the way Ariza looks like she's ready to completely mess someone up here!
Sunayna Patel
Ariel Bunnling
That hand pose isn't easy to draw, but Bunnling pulled it off here with an overall beautiful entry!
I honestly wanted to caption each and every single entry because I adored so many of these and had such a hard time picking (so much that I added this Honorable Mention section and giving $20 gift cards to everyone in it).
Thank you to everyone who took the time to draw Ariza, and I hope to hold more contests like this in the future!
