The Kakashi X Sakura FC CLASSY Fanart Contest ~The Voting~

moderndayportia · 05-07-2009, 10:04 PM

WELCOME TO THE VOTING FOR

First off, thank you to the nine amazing artists who submitted their work for this contest. Their contributions have exceeded my greatest expectations. I know KakaSaku fans will love all of the pieces as well. Show your love to the artists by posting your praise in the thread.

T H E R U L E S:

Submission must ultimately be a piece of Kakashi and Sakura fanart.
Artists must use a source painting that has appeared in a museum. (See below for suggestions)
Your source painting must show at least two figures. If you choose to use one with more, you need to make sure Kakashi and Sakura are the focus. No photoshopping Kakashi or Sakura and dropping them onto an Impressionist landscape
The end result needs to be entirely your own creation. No using other people’s fanart or clips from the manga or anime.
Two artists may do the same painting.
You may interpret the source material in whatever medium you choose, however it must ultimately be viewable as a .jpeg or .gif or .png file.
It is not necessary to have the characters in the same period clothing as the source material. In fact, it is encouraged that you interpret the painting into a Naruto context instead of simply copying it and dropping on Sakura and Kakashi's heads.
This is about your interpretation, so please feel free to alter the background as needed. However, do not change the pose of the figures, as pose is essential to linking your piece with the composition of the original painting (see scoring).
You are free to interpret the style as you please. If you’d like to do a manga version of a pre-Raphaelite piece, go for it. Just remember, they need to look similar when compared side by side. (see scoring)

A W A R D S: sakura haru, author of amazing KakaSaku stories like A Book of Five Rings and Fourteen Dates, has offered to write a oneshot based off of the winning entry.

The winner will also receive a banner.

S C O R I N G: Scoring will be calculated in two categories:
Judging- (worth 50%)

Open voting- (worth 50%)
This means you! Which piece do you like the best? Which artist do you think best interpreted the challenge? Make your decision and vote in the poll at the top of the page.

Please make sure that you view the larger images by clicking on the picture. A larger, more detailed version will open in a new window.

Voting closes on Friday May 15, 2009.

I know! I wish that polls could be set up so that you can vote for your top three

Yorokobi21 · 05-08-2009, 07:35 PM

Same here! Everyone did such a great job!!

lemontea · 05-08-2009, 07:50 PM

the are all so amazing

I think Alain Chatier is my favorite one.

juubi thinks pek is so kawaii plz omg lol

sakuraharu · 05-08-2009, 08:40 PM

So beautiful! What a great idea this was, Portia!

EldrFire · 05-08-2009, 09:13 PM

It's very difficult to choose. So many of them did good jobs, I thought, of incorporating elements of the original painting into the Naruto-ized version... Like how in Breakdown's, the original has a different color for the toe area of his foot, so Kakashi is wearing open-toed sandals; Cynchick has the bodies of dead shinobis where the original depicted a woman cradling a skull; Golden has the team 7 photo in the background instead of a mirror; Kagura has the striking pink lotus blossoms (?) in the place of the flowers of the original; Ino holds festival fish rather than a boquet in Leona's (that one is full of references-- I find new ones every time I look!); Saphri's Sakura sports the Konoha emblem on her arm as opposed to a heart; Scaryrei's has Kishi-style clouds in the background; Shinobunin's has Icha Icha on the ground; and Yokorobi's has Sakura wearing an obi in place of the large sash in the original picture.

The list goes on and on! Well done, everyone! I am astounded at your artistic talents and creative intuition!

DeterminedIdiot · 05-08-2009, 09:53 PM

i like number 2 'Aftermath' by cynchick

moderndayportia · 05-08-2009, 10:54 PM

I hope everybody is viewing the large pictures. If not, they are missing a lot. For instance, Saphri made the heart that was on the original's sleeve a motiff throughout the folds of the entire dress. And look at what she did on Sakura's toe

SH: Thanks! I love off-center stuff like this contest and the anti-fanfic contest we did last year.

clearheart · 05-09-2009, 01:47 AM

These are all so gorgeous! Even if there is only one winner, the rest of these will live on as "classy" pictures. Their worth doesn't end with the competition. I think it's safe to say that a touch of sophistication has been added to the fandom. The kakasaku pairing gets to enjoy an array of fantastic art that other pairings don't. Thanks for all of the hardwork you lovely artists, you!
