I didn't get a chance to properly look at them because :AP Exam and :Final Projects, but now I just took a glance at the winning entries and I have to say I'm impressed.
Binary and Regeneration, you absolutely deserve this. Most stunning profiles I've seen in a while.
To Charizard★ and Alternative, your profiles look equally as stunning. Be proud that it was so close of a race.
To TheSmartOne, your profile is quite nice. It lacks the stun of the three whom preceded you, but it absolutely screams "you".
To ~Ryukaa, Toujours, Rainy Day, I find it oddly coincidental that you all share somewhat similar color schemes. Blue will always be blue, I guess. Either way, great effort. Also, show us what you can do with those supporter privileges next time, ~Ryukaa.
To THAT WONDERFUL PIXY GUY!, orange is underrated and you pulled it off, well, wonderfully.
To Pokemon Trainer Touko and shinysweety... I'm going to be blunt. I'm not particularly sure why you're even up in fifth.
Touko, that checkerboard image wouldn't have been so bad had it not been for the shade of pink, its small size, and that white border around the rest of your profile. Also, any kind of repeat for images that aren't a pattern are almost always a bad idea. As for the pink, it would've probably looked better if it matched the shade of the vector's ears rather than the official artwork's ears. My critiques.
shinysweety, your profile is just amazingly blinding. Bright colors everywhere, oh my god. I count at least two entries that didn't get above 5th that were better than yours. No amount of critique can save this. Scrap and start over.
I honestly don't hope I start any drama (or do I?). Anyway, congrats to all the winners! The gorgeous designs definitely give me hope in this website design-wise considering the recent inactivity of people who I once considered the most artistic on this website.
And so concludes the musical?
