Thank you to everyone who entered for this monthly art contest! I appreciate everyone who entered, including: Lunamidnight, Lunalovegoodmolly, KnightStar, MoonPeach, FunHeart1010/Midnight, JD2005, Scruffypenny, Lavendershrews, Cseriestechhero, and everyone else.
I have organized all of the entries with their score in each category and their score in all. Those with the highest scores are listed at the end in the "Winners" section. I have judged all of them by five elements. Everyone's artwork was awesome, so don't feel bad if you did not win. Artwork is listed by artist (starting with the first artist who entered, and then the last artist who entered) and has a little description on why I gave certain scores. See the "Winners" section at the end for a quick look-over at the winners!
Enjoy, and have fun.
The Entries and Scores
Scores: (0/50). Each category (5) has 10 total points.
Lunalovegoodmolly
- Creativity: 7. By nature, Luna Lovegood is a very fun character to draw because of her quirkiness. The outfit is very creative in terms of color and uniqueness.
- Talent: 7. I am very surprised how quickly LLM is improving as an artist. I gave her a 5 due to the fact that she is a beginner, but I am very pleased to know she is learning!
- Color/ style: 9. I love all the color!
- Mood/theme: 8. The mood is very quirky and happy to me, and the colors and personality of the character matches quite well.
- Personality: 10. I think LLM's personality shines through in this!
TOTAL SCORE: 42/50
Scruffypenny
- Creativity: 6. This is a very cute rendition of Harry Potter, which I love.
- Talent: 5. Use of perspective is good. I like the overall drawing, but figures are a little stiff. I do appreciate your entry, Scruffy.
- Color/ style: 7. The color is great, and I love the chibi eyes and proportions.
- Mood/theme: 6. The drawing could be more varied, such as different angles. But the overall mood is well portrayed.
- Personality: 8. Scruffy's artwork is very cute and kawaii by my opinion, and this drawing holds true to her style's personality!
TOTAL SCORE: 32/50
Cseriestechhero
- Creativity: 6. I like the use of "line of action" here: the line (usually measured by a character's spine) that gives a character flexibility. I usually don't see that as often, so it makes it more unique.
- Talent: 5. I can tell Cseries didn't take as much time on this, I do appreciate him entering. The sketchy lines do add to "style", below.
- Color/ style: 9. The sketchy lines are a nice look, especially with the flat, bright colors. It almost makes me think of a cartoon.
- Mood/theme: 8. The brightness adds to the colorful theme.
- Personality: 5. I haven't seen a lot of Cseries's work, which makes it hard to pick out personality shared by them.
TOTAL SCORE: 33/50
Emelyisaway
- Creativity: 10. I love the creativity in Emely's drawings. They're all thought out and they all portray a unique or odd idea.
- Talent: 8. Emely is talented in her chosen style, which is one reason I enjoy her art.
- Color/ style: 8. Color is usually sparse in Emely's art, but used effectively. And her style, thick lines with implied or simplified facial features, is a mix between creepy and kawaii.
- Mood/theme: 7. The theme here fits in well with the color and expression.
- Personality: 10. I see the reoccurring themes of cute creepiness through Emely's posts and work,
TOTAL SCORE: 43/ 50
FunHeart1010
- Creativity: 7. Another Harry Potter fan-art, but welcomed!
- Talent: 8. FH is very talented and it has been a pleasure watching her improve over the years!
- Color/ style: 7. Lots of colors, which is good. The semi-realistic style is also very pretty and fitting for Granger.
- Mood/theme: 10. I like the cheerful flow and look.
- Personality: 9. FH's artwork tends to be very creative and she has several OCs. I like the carrying of style over to this piece!
TOTAL SCORE: 42/50
MoonPeach
- Creativity: 6. I like the cat-girl and her design, but it's a bit hard to see.
- Talent: 7. Moon did a good job!
- Color/ style: 7. I like the color and how it's colored softly.
- Mood/theme: 7. I like the fantastical touches.
- Personality: 8. Moon's artwork tends to focus on girls and the airy and fantasy-like aspects of other worlds.
TOTAL SCORE: 35/50
KnightStar
- Creativity: 10. It's unique, it's odd- it's really weird but fun!
- Talent: 9. KnightStar has improved a lot, and I love her redraws.
- Color/ style: 10. Very, very colorful. The style is very cute as well.
- Mood/theme: 7. I get a somewhat creepy but also an odd kawaiiness to this piece.
- Personality: 6. Most of Knight's work is different from this, but I believe it does show some of her personality in it.
TOTAL SCORE: 42/50
Lunamidnight

JD2005
- Creativity: 7. Very cool and realistic.
- Talent: 9. Jay did an awesome job with making this look almost real.
- Color/ style: 6. Monotone, natural colors are a good fit, and the way it's drawn is also good and completes that.
- Mood/theme: 8. I feel peaceful.
- Personality: 7. Most of Jay's art has to do with nature, so this is a good fit.
