      Need Your Help Judging!!!

      Hey guys! I was having a contest over on Deviant Art where people had to draw a chibi version of me, and it ended today. Anyways! I have to choose three winners, and I'm having trouble because there are so many awesome entries so any input/feedback would be awesome. Let me know what your favorites are and why.

      Keep in mind that they have to follow typical chibi style. I wanted it to at least resemble me so, brown hair and green eyes.

      Here are the entries: http://aquanina.deviantart.com/journal/12954187/

      Thanks!

      (p.s. yes I know that I'm already using one of the entries as my avatar...I think I've already decided that one as the winner)

      Wow, those are some great entries!!! So hard to decide... especially with me not knowing what chibi is. heh.

      I think I would pick the one that you chose as your avatar as well... maybe because I'm already used to looking at it, but mostly because it looks intriguing, vampire-setting, and sexy! Much like yourself...

      This one would be my other choice:

      Just curious, but what will the winner be getting? Bragging rights?

      A chibi is an anime style character with like, short arms and legs and real big head and arms lol. I'm sure you know what I mean. The first place winner gets one of my birthday cupcake necklaces, second and third place get one of my regular cupcake necklaces.

      I really love the first one you mention...but it's not really chibi-style so I'm not counting it. Same with the other one you chose. Actually the one in my avatar is even BARELY chibi enough to win. Though, the first one you linked to I'm going to contact her and ask if I can buy the original painting.

      Wow nice contest.

      Let's see, actually some of them aren't very chibi, you're right. But I like these two:

      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55166868/
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53858073/

      They fit the style the most. But I think the 2nd one got your hair color wrong haha.

      This one looks like something Mayazaki might have done, so it's among my favs, even though the eye color might disqualify it:

      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53251908/

      I think this one is my favorite - it looks more like you, it's a nice composition, and just has the "flavor" right:

      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53858073/

      This comes in a close second for me:

      The doll definitely gets special recognition.

      Thanks! That was fun. Beautiful stuff there. What a joy!

      The one you're using as your avatar looks best.

      Well if the other's don't count, I'd say these one's are quite good too:

      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55257876/

      Or this one:

      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54910672/

      I think I prefer the second one though.

      Cool! Thanks for the feedback guys.

      I'm actually surprised how many of you like the one with the long black hair. I really like it too, I guess it's just not "me-ish" enough for me. Like, it could be anyone ya know?

      I THINK these will be my top three:
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53781269/
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54973737/
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55257876/

      Honorable Mentions:

      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54007705/
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53858073/
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53405162/

      Traditional Art entries I'm going to ask to buy:
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55262014/
      http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54627854/

      I'm planning on giving the honorable mentions 50&#37; off on a cupcake charm or something like that. Oye...this judging thing is tough. Oh...and this entry: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54827476 probably would have been in my top three or honorable mention for either of the two chibis on the right side (I love how the Alice one is holding the cat hahaha), but it was done by the awesome Lomebririon (member here) and I don't think he really needs a cupcake necklace hehe, so I bought him a Deviant Art subscription for 3 months, and he's letting me use the chibis for other things, which is awesome!

      Thanks Lomey my luv!

      edit: Ok, actually I'm not sold on who I currently have at third place. Just because, she's like a really experienced chibi-artist and it probably didn't take her very long to do...and there are some in the honorable mentions stack that I think might be a bit more deserving. I'm comparing the chibis they did of me to their other art works. EEEK! I dunnooo....*sigh*

      Well, I don't mean to make your choice of third place even harder but... this is a quote I saw about the picture she drew

      Humm..This picture tooks really long time to finish, and the details hurts my arm xD Omg the lace *faints*
      So apparently it did take her a long time to finish.

      There you go... now you can go back to the grueling task of picking out the winners. Good luck.

      EDIT:
      As far as the first place goes... I just noticed... but... where are your feet on that picture??? hehe. The drawing still looks great though... all of them do.

      haha I asked her that...I said, it's awesome but where are my feetsies? and she said she doesn't draw feet on chibis...*shrugs* I don't care though it's still awesome.

      oh, and about what that girl said about it taking forever, trust me, they all do that for sympathy lol...if you look at the amount of similar chibis she has done you can probably guess that my chibi took like an hour or something at the most, especially since it was a last minute entry...but I dunno I think I'll keep her in third anyway :p
