dunFyi, the Sandstorm in OU illustraion is titled "Exploring Survivor" in the links to my stuff. Speaking of stuff, let me see what I can add to my profile in the meantime.
1st place - Chou Toshio
2nd place - KingofAnime (Koa)
3rd place - icepick
4th place - Swaggersaurus
5th place - Kevin Garrett
6th place - kennethcp
7th place - fatecrashers
8th place - strangeways
9th place - naraku301
1st place - Arkeis
"Arkeis is already quite the esteemed artist within the Smogon community, so when he decided to enter the battlefield on the contest's last few days, all bets were off. Apart from actually meeting deadline on such time, he also managed to produce three stunning images, all of them sporting a smooth lineart with pulsing colors. However, apart from Mega Gallade, the images don't show off much depth, and are instead lined up in a more horizontal manner. But with that said, the attribute that pushed Arkeis' entry over the edge onto the winning platform was the energy all three Mega Pokemon displayed, since all three are showing varying facial expressions and stances that proves they're ready to fight. So while other minor flaws made this a difficult decision, Arkeis certainly deserves the winning spot."
2nd place - Roadsama
"Roadsama was the first artist to show off some early concepts for all three entries, and while he needed more time than others to finalize them, he certainly didn't finish last. His lineart is light and elegant, while still clearly visible even when his images are shrunk down significantly. The poses of all three Mega Pokemon all follow a certain direction that guides the viewer's eyes along all their features, while also giving a clear sense of depth so that it really feels that they're emerging from their frames. However, there were some notable flaws that prevented Roadsama from emerging at the top. The colors used aren't quite as vibrant as other contestants, and while their poses are stunning, their facial expressions are rather calm, which makes for a slight disadvantage seeing as they're meant to decorate a site dedicated towards Pokemon battles. But make no mistake: Been many times where I've deemed this to be the winning entry only to have second thoughts, so the marginal has been as slim as it could be. But as there can be no ties, Roadsama ended up with a solid second place as a result, one he earned well."
3rd place - aXl
"aXl quickly got the favor of various people following the contest, and it's not difficult to see why. His Mega Diancie image, a notoriously difficult Pokemon to draw, came out quite splendidly, while his soaring Mega Altaria and charging Chesnaught makes for two stunning images as well. But while his sense for detail gives his images the edge at a higher resolution, the purpose of this contest was to create small icons for the frontpage, and at that scale, the same details don't perform as well. One could solve this by not shrinking them as much, but then you'd only get bust shots, thus missing out on other body features that makes for a stronger impression overall. And while his Diancie and Altaria were both fine specimens, his Chesnaught strayed a bit too far away from the norm with its unusual beard and oversized eyes. Some would consider these to be minor flaws, and they would be correct, because aXl's entry was practically breathing down Roadsama's neck in terms of quality, but in the end, aXl landed comfortably on a respectable third place."
4th place - Pedro Larez
"The contest clearly stated that up to three winners will be chosen, but given the high quality of our submissions, a fourth place felt to be in order when one looks at what Pedro Larez produced. In fact, Pedro brought the heat early by slamming a complete entry merely five days into the contest, featuring three Pokemon who all have shaped OU into what it is today. His lineart is simple and firm, although less smooth compared to other participants. And while one would initially find all three images to be well crafted for their final role as frontpage icons, the sad truth is that these images can only be shrunk so far before the lineart starts to buckle and become blurry, making it difficult to feature Talonflame's impressive wingspan or Metagross menacing claws. But nonetheless, Pedro's entry was assumed to be the winning submission for quite some time, and while that didn't turn out to be the case, his efforts to quickly get the contest up and running with three solid images will be recognised by having them featured on the frontpage as well."
Honorable Mentions

ZapDraws
The judges really liked your use of text and overall presentation, with judge SolarisFox saying, "From my perception of the contest, showing how they could work as a battler was the most important element, and his move sheet did a pretty good job doing this. His join banner wasn't slaking either, and for that reason I think his entry best reflects what the contest was asking for.
Supporting Art | <a href="/forums/threads/3538316/#post-6232227">Supportive Info</a>Judge MiniArchitect said of his entry that it shows "the most effort put into it, especially given that they had four characters total that they drew for the image. Splash also included a good amount of support material, including a title card, alt colorings, move lists, etc. that make his the most interesting entry to me."
Judge Typhlito applauded them on how they made "the best use of the costumes involving other pokemon and even miror B. which I found to be pretty hilarious. As for the moves, she made good use of real moves in ways that make sense."
MiniArchitect, while saying that "while their images are of the highest quality of all the submissions and are each great in their own right," thought that "they could have done a bit more to elaborate upon their proposed Smash characters." Sephirona also praised "the facial expression and underlighting on heracross's face in elcheeso's piece."
Hipmonlee said:Exactly! It's an icecream cone. If there isnt anyone around holding it, its going to fall over. And then, what you get left with is a piece of tragic nostalgia in perfectly sensible pokemon form.
And then from that, the evolution is derived perfectly. Everything is there and it all makes sense. And with the cone, that becomes a hat, and then becomes a carrot nose, you just have, a perfectly executed three way visual pun. I would ditch the hat entirely on the final evo tbh, just go with the nose. You dont need it any more.
3rd Place - BummerHipmonlee said:Ok, using that colour scheme to convey the ice-creamness is such an elegant device, I love it. It lets you create something really true to the concept, while keeping it plausible and throws away the damn cone, which is a pretty awkward thing to incorporate into a pokemon design.
Then the perpetual state of meltingness is just something that tells you so much about the personality of this pokemon with just a couple of drips and a sticking out tongue. Still dont like the ice shards
Honorable MentionsHipmonlee said:The cherry is a really nice little touch, and incorporated really tidily. Also, the turban is a truly great example of the sort of personality that can be created with such a simple device. Though, admittedly it is extremely racist to say that because someone is wearing a turban it tells you a lot about that person. It kinda feels to me like in terms of cartoon monsters this is ok. My sincerest apologies to any Sikhs reading this.
2nd Place - BummerEagle4 said:These guys are wonderful. Each has it's own features, yet keeps true to the theme, which I find excellent. I like your use of contrasting colours; it makes the original Regis look dull in comparison. I do agree with Kevin that the torso of your Registeel looks a little odd, but that's just a slight nitpick in an otherwise fantastic entry.
3rd Place - elcheesoEagle4 said:You've chosen a great theme to base your Regis on, as it still relates to the original. golem-esque theme. I love each and (almost) every detail of your pokemon, ranging from the differing helmets, to the impressive and well-chosen claws, these are all well thought-out. I am especially fond of Regice's shoulder armour, but I see the legs a little too thin; I don't see how it could hold the upperbody's weight. I do think however, that these pokemon are in desperate need of a secondary colour; they look great, accomplished and... plain.
Honorable Mention - MastadiEagle4 said:Whilst this contest is mainly focused on concept, it's hard not to notice the structure of these designs; they seem awkward and unnatural. The concept itself is very hard to pull off, and even then it doesn't really relate to the original concept. I have to say though, I love your Regirock. It's stance imposing and very accomplished, and overall it looks the most finished out of your designs. Your Regice looks a little goofy and generally less impressive than the other two. Your Registeel honestly doesn't look steel-type to me, I would've replaced those black horns with metallic ones. Your red markings doesn't really work in my opinion, but I like the idea of the eyes.

Smocktail, for one, needs a smock. He had removed it momentarily, as he often does when particularly engrossed in a burst of creativity. But what Smocktail really needs is a worthy artist. Are you that artist? Prove it to Smocktail.

And that concludes this short episode in Smeargle's Studio's history.Jumpman16 said:i love you, this is basically perfect. only very minor aesthetic changes would even need to be considered, like perhaps a crimson smock and white beret/scarf (switching colors basically). I like the white switch cause that's the color artist caps are.
also, with minor tinkering i think you can make him look more haughty than angry...like the slightest ever "flattening" of its upper eye line would solve that, and give it more of a brow-raised indifference (i do see the brow you have there but still). everything else is great, you nailed the highball and the hand and the positioning and everything, great work
