3rd place

Roan

What did the Judges Think?

○ A very cute comic style entry, I love the style that they draw in. Nice to see some friends gather to view the cherry blossoms and have what seems to be a great day. The expressions on the Annies are just wonderful and say a lot about their character. A wonderful job done.

○ The colors they portrayed in the piece match well. The style they draw in is super pleasing and the coloring is really soft. The Annies that were included added more color into the whole drawing in general and they conveyed the cherry blossom theme as they were asked to!

○ I really like the comic style that was used! It shows the interaction of the Annies coming together to see the cherry blossoms which is the best way to see an event like that! I also really like the diverse expressions used for each Annie!

○ Love the take on the comic style; using cherry blossom branches as the comic borders is extremely creative! You also get to see all three's personalities really shine as they head off to a cherry blossom festival. The style used here seems simple enough at first, but when zoomed in you can see all the little nuances in the colors, the shading, and even the lineart!

○ A cozy day out with a pair of friends, enjoying the cherry blossoms together, is a delightful sight to see. I adore how the aesthetics of each of them are so very different, yet they still look like they belong together. The comic-esque feel adds an extra layer of comfort and it's just such a sweet piece of art to enjoy and look at.

Another taking a stroll and even one up in the hair, enjoying the view! I feel this piece really embodies enjoying the Cherry blossoms to the fullest in so many different ways. It is as well colourful and pleasant to look at, and I adore the different expressions of each one of them. Truly, a lot of effort went into this and it shows.

○ This entry's colors are very vivid, and it instantly draws me in! I also recognize a lot of annies with flower blessings, and I think that is a really cute detail! Everyone also seems to be having a very fun and happy moment as well, enjoying their time as the cherry blossoms flow in the wind.
