But I didn't use neural networks 😎

I was wrong; I thought yours won. 8, processed by a neural network – you can tell by the right side (behind the head). The second one, I looked up "Medj," and it doesn't exist.
Regarding the tenth one, I've seen that style before. If you look closely, the brushstrokes aren't very human-like (and there's an unclear signature in the lower right corner; the neural network couldn't identify it). Also, a few strands of hair on the right side of the head are floating in the air, not connected to the head itself.
My ninth one is identifiable by the textures of the clothing, eggs, and noodles (and I've seen the whole series of these artworks; it's more noticeable in some of them).

My ninth piece is being criticized for the textures of the clothing, eggs, and noodles (and I've seen the entire series of these artworks, and it's more noticeable in some of them).

So, having 4 fingers on a hand is normal, but noodles and eggs are somehow disturbing?

I thought that schematically, one could draw a kind of soup like that; after all, it's not the main element of the picture.

I still don't see any suspicious textures in the clothing.

Yep.
If the problem was with the fingers, I would have fixed it; I've done it before. But I tried holding the phone like that myself, and yes, it's a real grip, and the thumb hides behind the screen.

I still don't see any suspicious textures in the clothing.

The problem is in the lines of the top. It's like a seam, but it's a bit strange, disappearing unexpectedly as if in patches... If it were real clothing, the seams would be solid, and there would probably be folds and shadows, because such clothing, if it's a sweater, has a shape, not just a flat surface.

Uh-huh.

That logic is certainly sound. Now I see it too. Although at first glance, it seems like there's an empty space where the ring finger should be. That gap is quite noticeable.

I don't know, I don't know. Maybe the artists know better about what folds and shadows should be.

But I still don't see any problems. There's volume, and that's the main thing.

And I can't agree that every artist should draw all these solid lines in absolute photo-realism.
Maybe the person drew it as best they could and doesn't really understand lines. Or maybe they just don't like drawing clothes.

(+1 to neural network paranoia)

I cannot agree with the statement that every artist can and should draw this entire line in absolute photo-realism.

No one owes anyone anything; things aren't drawn like that just because. Besides, the rest is drawn quite realistically.
Okay, here's a more serious argument: her right shoulder is covered by this top, and her left is bare; I just noticed that. In reality, the artist would have chosen one option for both shoulders.

Although at first glance, it seems that there is an empty space where the ring finger should be. This gap is quite noticeable.

Indeed, there is a bit of a gap.

I thought you guys were already figuring out the masquerade... did someone not send their entry on time again (from those who were planning to participate)?

I'm waiting for the final version until 6:00 PM.

Okay, here’s a more serious argument: her right shoulder is covered by this top, and her left is bare; I just noticed that. In real life, the artist would have chosen one option for both shoulders. Indeed, there is a bit of that.

Now, it seems like we’re just juggling indirect signs and drawing conclusions just to keep the conversation going.

Her left sleeve is lowered, and if the clothing fits quite snugly, then when taking it off, it pulls along what is worn underneath. There is logic in this, and the fold on the top also makes sense.
On the other hand, based on the second sleeve and her pose, one can conclude that the jacket is loose rather than tight.
But on the third hand, the jacket could have caught on the top due to being pressed against the back of the chair. Her pelvis is in a fairly horizontal position. It’s as if she has been sitting for a long time, getting comfortable, and as a result, she has slid down slightly in the chair, and the clothing has wrapped around her shoulder.

Investigations in the expansion pack: this fruit looks suspicious, so it definitely needs to be eaten!
Investigations in Hurma: ...

Just a year ago, it was easy to figure out.

You need to guess WHAT is hidden and WHO sent it.

Player Characters
1. A legendary build of a legendary hero, who played like a noob.
2. He is a wonderful family man, an ideal citizen, and someone who is not afraid of anything or anyone. He has a goal and he follows it. Always. Every day. Exactly on schedule.
3. A bucket of jelly.
4. A versatile soldier.
5. With high heels, he is 4 feet tall. He is very thin and has bowed legs, and his muscles are like thin rubber bands. Despite his repulsive appearance and bad habits, he has a peculiar charm.
He couldn't find a girlfriend for a long time, complained about it to his teammates, and didn't understand why girls avoided him.
6. Predestination, doom, helplessness, illness, death.
7. Lightning mage, follower of the Emperor, demonic abomination, drowned man.
8. An excellent student, full of devotion to his homeland.
9. A kind and sweet girl with many talents, searching for herself.
10. Ples's character.
A female warrior, trained in the use of two-handed weapons since childhood, but with low communication skills.
She participated in an expedition in which the vast majority of characters survived, everything ended happily, and Nebo wrote a quest, but didn't play as his own character.

NPCs
1. He knows a lot, but he doesn't just tell you. His home is a palace of trials. If you can pass, you might get what you want... But if not, tough luck.
2. A small rogue, a great joker, a bridge guard, a saboteur of what the dog should be doing.
3. Some unfortunates have a clearly defined destiny to suffer. You go through endless torments, which last and last, then finally stop for a short time, but only to return soon with even greater force. And now you are an ancient, immortal being, whom countless men are ready to worship. Finally free and able to enjoy the results of centuries of torment. But you choose quiet oblivion. Those around you cannot understand. And everyone feels very, very sorry. For the loss of their sex symbol. And no one will ever know what your secret was. In infinite willpower or... in the fact that you can also get used to pain and stop feeling it, having comprehended true zen and seeing the world from a completely different angle.
4. No one has seen him, but everyone loves him, and those who don't love him hate him. Survivability 2/4.
5. Kindness, responsiveness, service, faith, melody.
6. The person I mention every year.
7. This is a short, plump girl with a beautiful complexion and rosy cheeks. The most striking thing about her appearance is her gray hair, which never tangles, shines, and is easily styled.
The girl has a wonderful character, she is kind and responsive. But like many people of this kind, she may not be able to cope and break down.
Due to her mindset, she is very resistant to mental manipulation.
8. An ideal of friendliness, generosity, strictness, intelligence, and grace.
9. A loyal and obliging friend with a mischievous streak.
10. A wizard and a lover of gambling.

Result: an epic victory for the adventurers!
The hero of the game tricked the villain by offering him to play his own version of rock-paper-scissors.
As a result, the villain lost and turned to dust.
However, the adventurers also suffered. One turned into a death knight, the second into a ghost, and the third lost all her skills.

Expeditions
1. Apostles: Gotta catch 'em all!
2. TYORAL
3. Legendary memes and the duckling syndrome.
4. Guard! Guard!

7. Denial, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.
8. Just BOMB.
9. * memory - replay *
For more than a week, the group sailed to Barsina. When the "Thunder" finally docked in the port, the travelers were amazed.
Instead of the expected landscape with pyramids, sand, and palm trees, they saw a picture as if from an alternate reality.
Everywhere you look, there were structures made of steel and concrete, and the port was located on an island.
Soon, Berimir returned to the ship with a certain colorful, mustachioed man. He was humming a familiar tune:

"Skyscrapers, skyscrapers, and I am so small
Sometimes I'm scared, sometimes I'm sad, sometimes I lose my peace"

"Willy, what the hell are you doing here?! You weren't in this expedition! Karim was our guide."
"Chill out, guys. I'm here to give a hint for the masquerade. To be honest, I'm not happy to be here either. Last year, Ment said that it was unlikely that one of the participants would send something like this. And in our universe, as you know, thoughts have a tendency to materialize. And now I've been dropped into this damn expu right along with all this damn area! A piece broke off from the apple and was thrown directly into Barsina, you see?"
"To be honest, not really. But we urgently need to go to the 'Abode of the Sun' to deliver a letter to the great king."

* replay ended *
10. A dream at 39 degrees

It's scary, very scary... And do we really need to guess who the senders are? Are we absolutely sure?

in the expansion where the vast majority of characters survived, everything ended with a happy ending

that didn't happen...

I’ve already figured everything out.
