Hey everyone,

Here are the contest results (a bit later than planned). I promised to put them up yesterday, but it was my birthday and the weather was very hot (just like today). So I went to the beach with some friends (Scheveningen). That's why I didn't had the time to post the results yesterday, sorry! But I had a very nice birthday though...

Anyways, like always it was tough as hell to pick the winners. After a lot of thinking/looking about/at the deviations I was finally able to make the top 20!

For the people who don't know about this contest. I made a thread in the thumbshare forum, where people were able to show me two of their deviations. Once again I received a lot of replies (which is great)!

For those of you who are in the top 20, be very proud of yourself. For those who didn't make the top 20, remember this is just my personal taste. All of your works are great, keep it up!

Prizes and results:

The prizes are:

1st prize = Subscription for one year and a journal feature;
2nd prize = Subscription for three months and a journal feature;
3th prize = Subscription for three months and a journal feature;
4th prize = Subscription for one month and a journal feature;
5th prize = Subscription for one month and a journal feature;
Numbers 6 - 20 = Journal feature.

The results are:

Number 1:

:iconhollow-moon-art: With: Memory UPDATE by Hollow-Moon-Art Memory Update: This piece is gorgeous! It's meant to be an illustration for a book (I would use it as a book cover). This deviation is very detailed and the color combination is amazing. Good looking character too (look at her hair and scarf)!

Number 2:

:iconvalereyarts: With: :thumb270099355: Daenerys Targaryen: The facial expression is so good (a bit sad though). This is a very beautiful and expressive drawing. Her hair, eyes and dress are especially well done! I can stare into those eyes for minutes.

Both of the deviations posted by this artist were awesome, so while you are at it, check the other one too: fav.me/d4833so

Number 3:

:iconmikelangston: With: TheThrillIsGone by MikeLangston The Thrill Is Gone: This is very, very expressive. It's a beautiful piece (extremely detailed and clean) and yet so cruel. Both the facial expression and shading/skin tones are very well done. Soon I am going to write a poem to go along with this image.

Number 4:

:iconsubhrajitdatta: With: Masakali by SubhrajitDatta Masakali: The first time I saw this piece I thought it was a picture! Great quality, it looks very real. I really like the colors and details. The movement of the wings add a nice touch.

Number 5:

:iconeresince: With: antebellum. by eresince Antebellum: A very warm and peaceful piece. The color combination is great and I also think it's kinda cute.

:iconrookscry: With: Dirge of Spring by rookscry Dirge of Spring: I really like this piece. It's a great theme and I like all the colors and details (nice background). The facial expression is really great. Excellent composition too. A very interesting and expressive deviation.

This is the top 20! I hope you enjoyed my picks and I hope that you can live with them! I would really appreciate it if you guys take a look at my gallery. If you don't want to, no problem! But I think I deserved a little attention too...

I found a deviation (The Frog Prince) that's way underrated (in my opinion)! If you have the time please check it out (it has nothing to do with the contest).
