PXFIRE Drawn Art Contest

[Chakramaster]

Grades will be posted tomorrow. It may be a little after midday, but when my laptop breaks, internet messes up, and phone starts all having problems. It makes thing haaaaaaard. XD. I'll find a way like I got my internet back up for now, but I expect it'll die again over night.

No worries though guys. I'll have it up asap.


EDIT: Sorry it took a little longer than I'd hoped, but keep getting more issues after another here preventing me from being as active as I want. Technology is failing me D=

Design: Heliolisk in this picture looks to be in part of nature. The kind it loves the most and comes most natural. We can easily tell what it is, where it's at, and it's colors are bright enough. Shading matches and fits in places. No complaints here on the design portion. 25 points

Matched Theme: While soaking up the sun is a thing you see a lot during the summer. It even fits to what you drew as that type of animal/Pokemon like the sun or warmer/dry air. Your theme does match so points for you, 23 points

Additional: Sun, check. Shadows, check. Background, check. All great additions to this submission. There's enough to get a great depiction of the character and the setting it's taking place. While the pose is great and I really liked the submission. I feel like there could be even more to really showcase the summer setting. 23 points

Creativity: The creativity behind this was really amazing as mentioned before. How you showed off the Heliolisk basking out in the sun in a setting natural to it. Even so, it can be hard to tell if it truly matches with "summer" is the only thing I can say about it. Other than that I really liked this submission! 23 points

Spoiler:

Design: Your overall design is bright an colorful. It's got multiple characters in one place to show off what's what's going on and where. The image and idea is clear enough we can tell what it's meant to show. 25 points

Matched Theme: Your theme is matched. What's one thing to enjoy in the middle of summer on a hot day? Relaxing at the beach! Anyone can enjoy it. Water Pokemon or not. 25 points

Additional:Your design is great, colorful, and bright. We can tell where they are and anything going on in the setting. Even as much as to the waves and water splashing around behind the Vaporeon, Emolga, and Heracross. The sun is shining on a fair and sunny day. Nothing to really complain about here on this one. 24 points

Creativity: Your idea fits the theme, it's got not just one, but THREE characters included. Each relaxing in their own unique way. The place seems like a perfect place to fit exactly what one enjoy doing on a hot summer day. 24 points

@Noblejanobii

Spoiler:

Design: Similar as I am with limitations and little to offer, but it's no worries. Each character you drew was made out to the best of your ability. As long as we all know Pokemon (which I'm sure we do) we can tell what is which Pokemon. Some small piece missed in parts. Like the Pikachu for one I originally thought was Mimikyu at first. Especially missing the red cheeks (or cheek to show). I would have missed that if you didn't state it was yourself. The setting looks nice and warm. As a lot of friends are all having fun together and enjoying the beach. 19 points

Matched Theme: The theme appears to match easily. A group of friends all hanging out at the beach and enjoying a hot summer day. Either playing volleyball, relaxing enjoying a snack, staying cool under the umbrella, and relaxing in or on the water. I'd say it fits the theme perfectly. 25 points

Additional: With limitations it is hard to make changes or as descriptive as we want to be. Your setting fit and the characters are all set out. It's very nice set out piece and you even added small details that one would see on a beach. Volleyball, coolers under the umbrella, sunglasses one someone, a chair to lay back on, even an inner tube to lay on and relax on the water. So for all the additional things you added. Each adding to it. 25 points

Creativity: Your thought out you idea really well. Trying to add everyone you can think of to keep it part of your team. It's a fun simple thing that keeps everyone together. Another part of summer that everyone loves. The only part I could say is everything is so spread out and everywhere. The sheer size of some compared to others is really the only things I can say as part of this. It's nothing detrimental, but it's a small thing that threw me off. 22 points

@Coru

Spoiler:

Design: It's a very simple creation. A Pokemon relaxing under a palm tree. It's easy to think of palm trees when you think about beaches. As you did mention, the Zorua is kinda unclear, but as long as you know what a Zorua is and look closely. You can make it out. The thought behind the design to it is an interesting one. Similar to that of a night sky being star-like. I really do like the design and thought to this. This was a water color design too. The color is very interesting at that 20 points

Matched Theme: The theme is simple to this using a palm tree. Even though palm trees are set out at a beach and it shows. Though even after summer, palm trees are still part of the beach. So even though it fits the summer theme of a beach it's hard to tell of a time or true theme. 17 points

Additional:The two images in the picture are the only things to look at. Though there's something a bit different about both. The physical color of these two objects have a different unique look to them. To fit an image and not look as they normally do. 21 points

Creativity: I love the whole look to a starry night time sky. Especially where you can see every little detail to stars, constellations, or the brightness or darkness in that sky design. It’s a sight to behold. That in itself is something. 22 points

@Morzone

Spoiler:

Design: The design is interesting, yet classic. Two friends enjoying ice cream together as you mentioned. Smiling and just having a good time! Both characters very unique in the setting. 23 points

Matched Theme: The theme is simple as that. Two friends enjoying the ice cream they have together. It is a nice way to cool down and beat the summer heat 24 points

Additional: Other than the wall they are leaning against and the ice cream in their hands you can see some additional shading in places. The wall itself had its own design as you see in most wooden structures. I'd say it was pretty creative. Maybe create something a little extra in the background as well in future. It was great overall, so 23 points

Creativity: The idea for this was simple enough. 2 friends having some time to relax together, laugh, maybe share some jokes, and eat some ice cream. While it is very nice and creative. Sometimes it's the simplicity that perfects or effects something. 22 points

@Neo Emolga

Spoiler:

Design: The design is bright and colorful. A simple Pikachu with some added extras. It's pretty simple and is a very nice throwback in the new age of how Pikachu looks. Sometimes it's those simple thoughts that can make or break it. 24 points

Matched Theme: Your theme I'd say hits the nail on the head. A summer sunset while surfing the waves with some tropical treats and a Hawaiian like attire around his neck. Keeping it cool with the shades. 25

Additional: A nice sunset background with waves to boot. The Pikachu holding onto some nice treats while it relaxes to it's classic surfboard. It's nice to see bright colorful images to a background. 24

Creativity: This is a very nice throwback to the early days of Pokemon. With an added style to it! A Pikachu on his surfboard. Holding a pina colada while surfing the waves at sundown. It's even wearing sunglasses and a Hawaiian like flower necklace. It's an interesting new design for the old school surfing Pikachu. 24 points

@Arrow-Jolteon

Spoiler:

Design: This colorful piece was an interesting mix between the ideas of summer and a way to keep cool. An island with two Pokemon. One trying to keep cool by seeing the other as what it is. Ice cream. xD. I gotta admit it gave me a good laugh. Even from the shading in places. 25 points

Matched Theme: Yes! The theme fits and the general setting fits to show it. 24

Additional: The setting is pretty simple enough. What looks to be a tropical island at sunset and an additional character. A ice cream cone Vanillite. Literal ice creame itself. I can see how the summer heat probably got to that Shinx and BAM. Picks it up and licks it thinking it's eating the coolest thing around. 25 points

Creativity: I loved the humor to this submission. How you used Pokemon in a humor sense for summer and the Vanillite as ice cream. It's not just us, but even Pokemon themselves believe that. This Shinx took advantage of that. 25 points

@sammy0295

Spoiler:

Design: Is...is that Wigglytuff on fire? That must be really hot. It looks like it's just given up on it all. It's got a colorful sense to it. Very nice submission. The heat can be exhausting. 21 points

Matched Theme: While it looks like it has a heat effect. I think a little more to showcase what it is. Even if that's fire. It's not easy to be able to tell if it's caused or related to summer in this sense. 16

Additional: Other than the effect coming off of the Wigglytuff there's not too much else. Even something small to give that summer sense in the picture could be a bit better. 17

Creativity: I really like how the Wigglytuff has that look like it's completely given up. The summer heat really can do that. How it's sprawled out and the effect coming from it looks like it's just burnt out. Very interesting take 20

Week 3 will have an updated scoring board. As it is now it's very confusing and hard to make a good easy to go by scoring that'll just leave questions if you look at the scoreboard.

Please tell me if I'm grading too harshly, not harsh enough, or what you think will need improvement if you think it needs attention. I'm not one to really wanna be harsh on someone. So if I'm not being hard enough. Let me know please.
