I want to thank everyone for participating in the event.  At first I did not think I would get anyone to participate.  The winners were really hard to pick but after looking them over and asking a few people opinions I have chosen winners.

The following are the winners

First Place

:iconsynsec:
[Contest] Epoch's Custodian by Synsec  

The colors on this character where not what I was expecting but was presently surprised by them.  The added value of texture and design in the characters skin really helped give him definition.  



Second Place

:iconravna-resta:
Epoch's Custodian Colored by Ravna-Resta  

The colors here were similar to what I originally go with.  The highlights and shading are good but not quite as much added value that the first place winner had.  I am pleased and happy to have seen him in these colors.


Third Place

I am actually desciding to award two third place winners because I had a hard time picking.

The colors of the dress are similar to what I had attempted to color them.  The skin a different but pleasantly different.  She is the Deity of Water and the halo color matches that.

I like the colors of the skin being highlighted as it adds depth to her.  The colors of the dress go well with her skin; however, the Halo was not the color of water.  Over all great work.



Thank you all for participating.  I might hold another event in the future and will announce it through my journals.

Prizes will be awarded over the weekend.  Thank you again for helping me get an idea of how their colors are.

I almost missed the results... Congratulations to the winners ! I really loved the coloring of the Epochs too. :D

Thanks! I appreciate the constructive comments as well =]. Though, I do admit that I had neglected the halo and didn't really tackle it until the very end.

Wow, thank you very much !

Didn't expect anything after last 4 submissions, which are really well done.
Hope someday I'll be able to do such things :)

If you want I can give you psd or tweak colors a little, even if not much was done that you can't do directly from lineart.

Anyway thanks again, I'll look into your next contest if there is :)
