Happy To Have My Entry In There - Blog Posts

All of the entries are amazing!

I love how the contest organizer understood perfectly my reasoning for not putting a tiara on Gemini Man ^^

2016 Megaman Valentine’s Day Fanart Contest  Results!

First off, Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Whether you are able to spend it with your significant other, your family, friends, loved ones, or…, um, that dirty doujin page of your favorite waifu that you’ve been spending time coloring recently, or something ^^;…I hope you all are able to feel cared for on this day of love.

I think this is honestly the first year where I’ve actually posted the results on Valentine’s Day itself. Typically, the deadline has either been on the day itself, or I just haven’t been able to get everything coordinated to work out this way. This still won’t be perfectly how I’d like to do it, but I want to let you guys be able to post everything you have today, if you so desire, as well as letting you all get the praise and credit for all the hard work you put into your art.

Stats-wise, we ended up with 15 total entries, 9 in the Talent Category, and 6 in the Humor Category. Not quite 2014 levels, but basically doubling last year’s turnout. I usually go through the usual motions and depression that I’ll never get that major avalanche of submissions I dream of; with over 1000 views on dA and nearly 100 notes on tumblr this year, it’d be nice to one day get like at least 30 entries. Maybe next year for the 10th anniversary blowout.

However, I always do feel better once that final entry has been received. Year after year, there is always a consistent  amount of regulars who I can count on to enter almost every time, and there is always a nice group of totally new people who surprise me with their talents. And it was no different this year. So again, THANK YOU!!! I do these contests as a way to give back to the community, and to appreciate the talents you have. It sucks that not everyone can win a prize every year, but know I’m grateful you took the time out to draw something for this little thing I do.
