Judges' comments:

"Wonderfully done - so detailed, colorful palette, interesting concept with symbolism of the names and also the explanation in the author's comment - that shows efforts and time put into this work. And the expression of Mikoto's face is perfect – such a gentle smile and wise look full of warmth. It really fits to her personality..."

"This piece...Wow...What can I say? Great mythology, excellent colour scheme. The artist made very good use of space, filling the piece with wonderful, wonderful details without making it too crowded. Its obvious that Nanao placed a lot of thought into creating this piece, and it shows here. Brilliant!"

"The idea is very well presented and Mikoto is together with her both sons.not to mention the art technique hre is simply out of this world!good job!!!"

Judges' comments:

"Magical piece. It's soft, glowing and almost sensual. I like the sharingan details on her chest! <3 "

Judges' comments:

"This must be one of the most unique portrayals of Mikoto! I love love her face - it's soft, characteristic of Mikoto, yet is full of silent determination. Lovely work on her armour and overall ambience of the piece..."

"Just brilliant! The title is totally suits to this scene. There is harmony in each part of this art - softness of the color palette and clearness of the details, realistic armor and blurred background. Atmosphere of the calm and concentration is depicted excellently!"

"What an awesome set of armor...and theres much saddness in her eyes...i love sad eyes...theres always amazing story behind them!good job!"

Honorable mentions


by midorynn

Judges' comments:

"Badass Mikoto with sharingan is always a WIN XD. Woman looks so fierce and independent, befitting the mythology doppeldanger used."

"This stunning art impressed me a lot, especially shading. Transitions of the blue color between light and dark tones is fantastic! And though a mother's image is more habitual for Mikoto but as a warrior she came out so charismatic here! Her pose and expression look great."

"A strong goddess and a strong woman! the powerful and vivid colors look really amazing!"


by Nick-Ian

Judges' comments:

"The soft colors immediatly took my breath away! a real goddess of sun!"

"Excellent, excellent composition on this piece. All the components of this piece fit so well together, and the colours make this piece so harmonious. A mythology so fitting of Mikoto."

"What a splendid piece! I love lightness of the style and beautiful play of colours. There is nothing superfluous in it, all elements here are continuation of each other forming the whole composition. The goddess of the sun – the fine choice! Mikoto was really as the warm sun in the cold Uchiha's family."


by ahobaga

Judges' comments:

"I was simply charmed by this lovely work! Mikoto looks really as a fairy here - so pretty, graceful and delicate. The colors sсheme with golden shades creates the magic atmosphere , the contrast emphasizes chiselled form of the face and whiteness of the skin. And how perfectly the clothes is depicted - light and shadows on the folds, the glitter fabric – all those things are drawn so realistic, taking into account this work was made in TegakiE."

"A wonderful wonderful portrait.and i think very fitting to Mikoto.her eyes..theres just soo much going on there..."

"Mikoto always fits well into Eastern mythologies, and this is no exception. Wonderfully painted. I still can't get over the fact that this was created in Tegaki...Tegaki!!!"

Best Beginner


by Kendage

Judges' comments

"I think this piece is the best piece in the Beginner category. The artist utilised all the possible components of the Chinese season mythology very creatively (the most important criteria in judging this category). The colours are powerful and wonderful, but not overbearing. A very balanced piece."

Most improved Artist


by FireGemini

Judges' comment:

"One look into firegemini's gallery and I noticed a vast improvement of her overall skills in this piece compared to her others. The human anatomy looks more fluid, the lineart looks more soothing to the eye and her choice of her colours in this Mikoto piece adds to the artwork instead of distracting the viewer. This Mikoto piece is the most solid and balanced artwork compared to her earlier work. "
