“Okay look, don’t hate me D:
We literally sat here for over a half an hour trying to judge judge judge. We based our judgings on things like effort, humor, the ability to improvise, and resemblance to the character. All art styles aside seeing as though people different styles and that would be like… total bullshit. ._.
Judging was like… Hell’s Kitchen because most of the entries were like… INSTANT LOVE O_O
Lemme shutup so that you can read the results, eh? xD”

Shika192Lemme shut up and tell you them there results :B
First place goes to…
"Jinxzett's entry was a masterpiece, even without a background. It was funny, clean, and the shading was downright gorgeous. He even took time to add details into the small things, such as Frank's buckle and his hat. The characters jumped off the page, and Jin improvised to make his ocs' hairstyles resemble the characters (without Lien having to look for a 9 foot wig). Even the POSES seemed like poses that Jynx and Frank would stand in; Dimitri has that OMG frank look, and Lien is just cool like Jynx (even though sometimes Jynx is a childish lil thing) C: Awesome job Jin, this here's first place! ;D"

Shika192Second place goes to…
"Three words: CRANK. THAT. OUTFIT. Keikani's outfit looks amazingly stunning on Sonikki, and she pulled this off in SPADES, even if she didn't think so at first. CHANGE YOUR MIND, WOMAN DDDD8. She didn't use flat colors on this traditional media spawned masterpiece; where there was red, there was orange; where there was black, there was purple :B
And come on, look at Sonikki's face and pose and tell me kei WOULD NOT ever look like that. Tell me! xDD Awesome job Sonnie, you've earned the silver medal of honor! C:"

Shika192Oh mai… Third place?! D8
"IT’S A TIE, BITCHES. C:
Stripey's entry may not be shaded as the works that got 1st and 2nd place, but it looks so damn good with solid colors and textures smacked onto it anyway ;D She has a unique style with small details that catches your eye instantly. With the help of two friends, she also got to add a sentence, which is pretty true. xD Since she picked her character Rannon who has a few similarities with Cid who he who he cosplayed as, she gets a few points. Congrats on the shared 3rd place. : )"

EmmieSensei“Stripes, I also commend you for the nice and clean lines. I also like the fact that you kept a slight hint of Rannon in there, even if I hate smoking ;D”

Shika192“EDGV created what may be called a master piece! She incorporated her own style of Xenon Naginata and the colors she put in it is spectacular! Along with this, the pose of Reggie (as Xenon) can create an image even though there’s no back round. If you can think about it for a while, you can imagine him on a building or so. The expression fits the pose and although some colors were changed, they fit into the Cosplay perfectly! The way she made this kind of makes the character pop out from the white back round, and you can sort of see some good light value and tone in work. You have won 3rd place in the Test Drive Studious Contest! Congratulations EDGV!!”

Clover1“And courtey you bitch, there can never be too much of a good thing xD (the red in Nagi’s costume)”

Shika192Honorable Mention (because we felt like it ;D)
“I… am a very very kind American woman. But I just can’t help but to laugh my chubby ass off at Ringosweet’s entry xD
Because she actually made Clyde (who’s cosplaying as Hirigani) look as “DO.NOT.WANT.” as Hirigani would look! xD
There was a story behind this picture, and it’s just… hilarious! xD Clyde needs to get out more C:
And she put a whole lot of effort into this babe. Not only are there two characters, but she even improvised instead of leaving a white BG, even though there’s nothing wrong with that :B <3 Awesome job Ringo, you get an honorable mention! ;D”

Shika192I killed Porky, so he can’t stutter out his catch phrase D8
I loved all the entries and was thoroughly impressed with what you peeps came out with! Soooo don’t go chasing me around Tibet with pitchforks and torches, because that would be WRONG >:
Three minds were involved in this judging, so please don’t abuse those three minds if you didn’t win or you didn’t score where you think you deserved to score. I’m pretty sure you all were running for the gold~
AND I’M SO SORRY FOR ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS… <:C
It was an emotionally tough ride…
For my 7 friends who entered, I thank you SOO SOOO MUCH for going through sooo much trouble to join this lil contest. I apologize for any confusion that was caused. I also apologize to those who did not win, but there’s always another time, I suppose? D8
Don’t worry, I had experience with losing MANY contests, so I know EXACTLY how some of you feel <:CTo those who wanted to join but couldn’t, thanks so much for even CONSIDERING to join in the first place, and to those who didn’t even care, two words:
(JK JK xD)
And because I’m nice, I’ll draw a lil banner or something to honor the contestants. I love you all, thanks for tuning in! ;D
Thank you all so much! ;D
