Art Contest
Welcome! There hasn't been an art contest in a while, so I thought it was about time we had one :) If you haven't been in an art contest before, here's how it works: Someone (me) gives a theme. You can use whatever media you want, it just has to relate in some way to the theme. Then whoever gave the theme judges all the entries on a specific day, and the winner gets to choose the next theme.
Theme: Roots. Judging day: April 19 (if two weeks doesn't seem like enough time, I can change it). I'm excited to see what you come up with!!

Time for judging! That sounds so harsh...so how about uh...amateur evaluation. Sure.
Honarable mention
clover-is that acrylic paint? If so, that's cool! And if not it's still cool xD It looks like what real roots might look like: not a pattern, some small and some big, keeping the tree alive.
Hazel Magnolia-the idea to draw a sort of mirrored roots-tree is really cool! I wouldn't have thought of that. Plus it looks like a pendant of some kind, so it could have magical powers!
Third place
pangolin-this drawing is just so aesthetic! The randomness of the staircase makes it look natural.
Second place
woolly-the character design is such a cool idea! It actually inspired me to draw Terra, too, but mine wasn't as good.
First place
Moonfrost-The little creature peeking out of the roots is so cute, and overall the scene is really well drawn! The forest is so pretty and gives warm-fall-morning vibes. The roots look really cool too. What did you mean by using filters?
Cool! Great job everyone! So Moonfrost will think of the next theme. I can't wait to see the next round!

Thank you Lupine! The little creature in the roots is a pokemon called grubbin, I didn't come up with it.
On the drawing program I use (it's called GIMP, it's free for use on computers), it allows me to use certain filters to make the drawing look better. For instance, the sun peeking in from the top left corner is a light filter that looks like a sun beam. I also added a filter that makes a circle of shadows around a circle of light, it's hard to see but I used that to darken up the right side of the picture. I also added a frame around the edge, that's what makes it look all broken up along the edges.
Now, for the theme... spring! Judging will be on May 13th, have fun!

Hi! Here's mine! It's very minimalistic, but that's supposed to be the style.
