Lelya, you can vote right here :) Of course, it will immediately become clear that the drawing you voted for is not yours, and the same will be true for each participant. But I doubt anyone will bother calculating the ownership of the drawings. Especially since, in some cases, it's already obvious :)

Where can I see other works that didn’t make it to the voting stage?:confused: :)

Lelya, you can vote right here :) Of course, it will immediately become clear to everyone that the drawing you voted for is not yours, and the same will happen with each participant. But I doubt anyone will bother calculating the ownership of the drawings. Besides, with some of them, it's already clear anyway :)

But it seems to me that this will make the contest not anonymous, because by voting, participants will understand where whose work is, and therefore there was no need to announce it as anonymous.
P.S. Can you vote for your own work?;D

Oh oh oh, Mephisto also drew something, but couldn't find his camera in time (...). This is what I know... Will they really not accept his drawing?

Hmm... there are no such works; all those that made it are participating in the vote. But you can view other drawings by our artists in this thread, for example.

Oh oh oh, Mephisto also drew something, but he couldn't find his camera on time (...). This is as far as I know... Will his drawing not be accepted?

I am sorry... It turned out very badly, but the contest has already started, and it would not be entirely fair to introduce a new drawing. If I had been warned in advance... In general, tell Mephisto not to worry, especially since the drawing hasn't disappeared anywhere and can always be appreciated in the appropriate topic ;)<

Well, I'll answer a few things regarding the contest. Nobody minds, right?)) In the worst case, you can just skip reading this or delete it)
First of all, thank you to those who voted or simply left feedback on my work. To be honest, I didn't expect my little scribble to generate so much interest...

Next, some clarifications:

1) I was surprised that many saw a specific kind of humor in the drawing... It wasn't really drawn for humor. The idea was suggested by a picture of a little griffin (I think Kitty posted it in the "art-fantasy" thread. So thanks to her))... And the goal was to depict the creatures specifically in such a childishly naive style, to show that when they were children, they were all friends with each other))
Drakkoshka noticed this correctly. Thanks to her for that))

2)

...on a griffin, sitting, as I understand it, on a dendroid.

No. That's just a tree. There's "two of every kind" there — two heroes from each city... A dryad (or a fairy — I don't remember exactly) is hiding behind the tree, there's an inquisitor in front of the tree, a griffin and a little witch(?) on the tree, an archer and an assassin in the foreground, then a gremlin and a little devil (imp) (or a senior gremlin), further back a baby mage and a demon (I didn't remember how to draw the latter at all, but I had to stick someone from Inferno in there — I made him sleeping, but he ended up looking like some kind of red boulder :o ...), and a vampire on the side... Those are all the heroes)

3)

well, I liked the idea so much... maybe it could be used somewhere on the forum as decoration or a background for a rating table, for example in the Heroes 5 section... naturally if the author gives consent

No problem... if there were only something worth using... the drawing is "wildly sloppy" after all, and I agree with that)) But if you like it — take it and use it)

4)

the idea is not bad, but it's drawn in haste, I'd say. In principle, I'm not strong in this genre, so I'll say that I would fix the little griffin (as I understand it, this miracle-bird, upon which my faction-sister sits, is actually a griffin). It seems griffins have front paws like birds. Wings: I only see one wing, and even that barely holds on in the drawing, the author reduced the base of the wing too much... Next, I didn't understand what or where the mage with the pacifier in his mouth is lying and where his hand is? The little vampire's leg seems broken or bent backward at the knee? Perspective needs work... The imp's wings bother me: it looks as if four sticks were taken, glued in pairs, and some torn paper was glued between these pairs; the author should look at bat wings and their anatomy.
And one last thing regarding this drawing, purely from a faction representative — why was the fury made completely naked, wearing only boots and bracers, with makeup? O_o.

That's correct — it was done in haste and only for the sake of the idea. Griffins have paws like cats (lions) — both front and back. I don't know about the wings — I'm terribly bad at drawing animals, so anything is possible... I already explained about the boulder-demon... The vampire is a separate story entirely... His leg was actually broken and twisted in several places. In the sketch, his foot was turned more toward the viewer. One couldn't look at the poor vampire without pity. That's probably why he still doesn't walk, even though in age he looks like the archer, inquisitor, and others who are older... I fixed his leg a bit, but not completely.. I just didn't figure out how to fix it well and correctly :o . Regarding the imp — I relied only on one screenshot (I didn't have the game at hand and don't have it now (and I don't know if I will()), and the wings were poorly visible there... so they turned out sloppy, alas((. As for the "dark" girl — she has not only boots and bracers, but also panties... She's just small, so I didn't bother dressing her on top. And the makeup is for resemblance to the faction heroine... Now, the one who is completely naked is the dryad hiding behind the tree))

5)

very original, I even made a save for myself (if the author doesn't mind? I promise to respect the copyright!)). and most importantly, it's very close to all of us)) they were also small once (you could develop a whole series of comics here to popularize the game)

I don't mind. As for comics, unlikely... no time, and I have other ideas)

6)

and you can see little TE was offended by Ink, hitting him on the head with a cross (by accident), which is why the finger is in the mouth)) but the archer has already come to stand up for him.... and the others are just watching, some from above, some from behind the tree...

Nope... The little assassin was offended by the archer — he wouldn't let him play with the bow. The inquisitor is playing hide-and-seek with the dryad. The "dark" little girl was supposed to be looking at a Knight who would be reading her poetry... but since the inquisitor from the Castle was already drawn, and there was nowhere to put a knight at the bottom, a griffin was drawn instead, and it turned out the fury (little witch) is looking at the vampire ;) And the mage has a protection from fire scroll in his hands, which is why he's not afraid to sleep on a fire demon. I originally planned to put the vampire on a knight's shield... then I thought about leaning him against a stone, but I forgot and had to draw his hand as a prop... yes))

The only thing intended as "sort of humor" there was the huge cross and book)) Everything else was supposed to be cute, kind, and childishly naive)))

That's it. I've had my say... Now a question for Vikhir:

Can I show that other drawing now?

Respectfully, Simas...

Can I show another drawing now?

Sure, you can ;)

Adelaide also had 2 drawings, I think. I think it would be good to show the second one now ;)

For those who want to see their mistakes "in reality," I can offer to create overlays.

I think we can close this thread, as the contest is over, and a lot of time has passed since it ended. Perhaps I'll hold a second, more serious contest in the fall or winter; I need to think about it. If the site administration doesn't object, there will also be a reward added to the profile. If anyone has specific suggestions for the second contest, or the ability and desire to help with it, please contact me via ICQ.

Sincerely, Major Whirlwind.

P.S. When I decide to organize a contest, I will open a thread or create a new one where we will discuss the rules, recruit participants, etc.
