Whoot!!
Finally! I will present you the winner of the Winter Love Contest that has been going on for the last 3 months!!
But before that I would like thank everyone who has participated. I truly appreciate all the effort you lovely people has put into your entries. Yes, it was hard to pick a winner.
I even consulted a few of my friends.

After much discussion w/my friends, I've come to a conclusion that the WINNER of the WINTER LOVE contest is... *drum rolls*

Hee, congratulations to Katie!
So why did I choose this picture?
Several reasons.
1. Idea is very profound + sophisticated
2. The details, seriously, look at the amazing details. The hair...just look at the hair
3. The coloring. Very nice solid colors. It's not sketchy/uneven. Doesn't it show the amount of dedication??
4. Perspective. Drawing people laying down is quite hard sometimes. It fits with the theme of the picture too, don't you think?

So congrats to Katie! It's a piece of work that's very well done.
I'll PM you about the prize! ^^

Here is the 1st Runner-Up!

I really liked the emotion and the use of watercolors here...it's really calming and...just lovely.

Here's the 2nd Runner-Up!

I really liked the concept and the CG coloring style. Hee, the atmosphere really conveys the theme. ^^

Well, that's about all. Thanks to all those who contributed to this contest. I'm grateful that you guys participated, really grateful. everyone
