Hello everyone! I know I don't talk a lot here but I am the second judge! I just wanted to explain a bit further the GIFs situation, and why we made the decision to have a separate ranking for the little animations: I am an animation student and freelancer. Animation is SUPER hard, and even if the gifs only had 2 to 3 frames each, I still massively respect all of you. Especially the gif with most of the herd just grazing around near a volcano. The amount of patience it takes to even do a "simple" GIF like that is something I deeply respect. I am not a professional animator by any means, I just graduated animation college, and most of my work were rushed end of semester group animations. Still, me and Zoo agreed your work was in a whole other category. I wanted to give you all a bigger prize, honestly, akin to 50gb or something because that's what I see people charge for gifs here on Lioden. However, since we only budgeted for a top 7, and we ended up with a top 9 so to speak, we could only scramble to get 60gb extra for both of you. 30gb for each GIF. This was my first art contest, and while I helped with the story of the herd and some fanart, all characters are Zoo's (save for Lilás, he's my own creation and my OC in the herd lol) and I am so emotional. This was amazing, thank you all for the effort put in all the entries! It was quite hard to agree on a top 3 but I was adamant Bumblebee #281374 entry was in the top 3. I LOVE your art style, as someone who is a huge fan of paleontology, your drawing immediately reminded me of a Paleo paper and it's illustrations. It was my personal favorite entry, but I admit I am biased towards all Lilás entries, and I am a huge fan of semi-realism and Paleo art. Objectively I agree with the top 3, the first and second place have more quality to it, when it comes to anatomy, painting technique, or just creativity in general, but know that in my heart, number 3 was my favorite. I would love to do an art trade with the people in the top 3. I would commission you all, but currently I am out of GB lol. Everything went out to the prizes. Lastly: Congratulations to everyone! This was an amazing experience, thank you, Zoo, for including me as a judge, and letting me be a part of The Herd! 4 players like this post!
