Results of the fanart contest 2013 – Part 1
└ posted on Saturday, 27 July 2013, by Novil
I received such an amazing number of great entries for this year’s Sandra and Woo and Gaia fanart contest that I’m still unsure about the exact order of the top 10, especially the places 2 to 6. Therefore I decided to at least write a blog post about all the other drawings that were submitted. Some of them have such a great quality that I wouldn’t have had a problem to give the prize money to the respective artists. Unfortunately for them, I received 10 pieces of artwork I liked even more. I will post the winners of the fanart contest next week. I cannot thank you enough for all the effort you put into these great drawings!
 by Andrea Cabral: A very well-drawn picture by Andrea with a restricted color palette. |
 by Andy: Sandra and Cloud look a little older in Andy’s drawing. I really like the coloration and shading. |
 by Antonio Saavedra: A dynamic fighting scene featuring Ilias and Ryn. |
 by Eliza Mária Sándor: Eliza submitted one of the funniest drawings of the contest. |
 by Garrett Williams: I would totally watch this! A great idea by our long-time reader Garrett Williams! |
 by Joxtray: When such a well-drawn homage to Calvin and Hobbes doesn’t make it into the top 10, you know that the competition was hard. Maybe too hard? |
 by Ksenia: The magic effect with the wolf heads looks very interesting. |
 by Lorena Rogalla: A very cute drawing. |
 by Matt Ade: As one of the technically best drawings, this would have been in my top 3 if slaying dragons wasn’t completely out of character for Ilias. The role of dragons in Gaia’s society will be explored later in the story. |
 by Monica Miguel: A nice group picture of Gaia’s main character. |
 by Ray Zhang: HEY! LISTEN!! I believe Cloud is legally allowed to brutally murder his younger sister here… 😉 |
 by Vill Kommen: Lilith shows her little magic trick. |
 by Willie O’ Brien: Our long-time reader Willie O’ Brien came up once again with a clever idea. If Sandra’s face were a little prettier, the drawing would have had the chance to make it into the top 5. |
 by Zsolt Gyurgyo: Zsolt gives us a nice retrospect of some memorable Sandra and Woo storylines. |

Thanks to everyone who participated!
Yay! Thank you for the nice words!
I know I will love the top 10 submissions (I suspect I have already seen one of them online, it was awesome!).
I hope that I will be able to participate if you chose to hold this contest again next year. Then I’m really going to impress ya with my future skillz 😉
Heh I spy the Cooper cane
Sorry for asking, but i think i dont understand. -_-
Are the 14 images the pictures that possibly could win, where the order isnt clear?
And the other images after “Here are all the other entries I received” are the images that havent been in the top 10?
Or is the order of all images not clear?
I dont know but although grats to all winners 😉
@ Joxtray:
I like the way sandra looks in your picture. The fish also makes me smile 😉
@ Kimi:
🙂
Well, now I expect great things from the finalist, because all of these were pretty awesome 😀
@ Kimi:
These pictures shown are the ones that Oliver really liked, but they weren’t good enough (everyone can see that differently, for example, I really like the drawing from Andy 🙂 ) to be in the top 10.
But, because he really liked the rest as well, he featured the ones that didn’t make it into the top 10 in a blog post. The ones that were just named down there (at the bottom) are the rest, since featuring the other 21pictures would have been alot for one post.

In other words, the top 10 will be shown in a later blog post and the drawings here are the ones that didn’t make it in, but are still really beautiful 🙂
hope this helps a bit
Andy’s drawing is awersome! Awerso-o-ome : DDD
Sorry, i’m idiot x)
*awesome
@ light strobe:
Thank you, i understand. I also like Andys and Joxtrays image. But i also like the images (down) by Manuel K., Elanor, Heather and Lentil. I think most of them are really beautiful.
I didnt know that so much people drew a picture.
Something i would change is, that only the good professional images will be in the top10.
Many people like me, dont have the money to buy expensive tablets or something like this.
I would rate them after the effort, not after the result. The picture from Simone looks like a lot of effort.
Because people who can draw with expensive tablets and draw with the original photoshop or other expensive programs dont need the money, i think 😉
It isnt because im not in the top 10 or the other ones, its only because i think everyone should have a chance 😉
To Oliver: No offense meant. It was only a well-meant opinion.
Anyhow i like the idea on the Book-of-woo-Contest with spending two times 100$ to organisations 😉

It’s absolutely not true that the technically best drawings will automatically be in the top 10. There are several drawings in the top 10 that are not drawn as well as some of the ones shown here.

Umm, i think all images in top 10 are welldrawn, thats the artists style. Not welldrawn are images with unclean lineart and so on (like my image, it isnt welldrawn, but i wrote thats because of the tablet).
How i said, no offense meant. 😉
Ops, i saw a image, that is not welldrawn, like you said in the top10. I overlooked it…
Sorry, please forget about the other comment. I think we shouldnt write about that anymore its only timewasting, so please delete all my comments;)
