Creature’s has announced the next round of finalists for the 2024 Illustration Contest narrowing it down from 300 to 100
We’ve done our many rounds of voting on E4’s Fav from the initial t300, and now let’s compare how we’re doing so far
Creature’s Top 100
Since these are in no particular order according to Creatures, I will order them based on E4’s ratings
The results of those which advanced to the second/final round will be prioritized over the results of Round 1 (but round 1 placement will be noted for comparison purposes) followed by the rest which did not make it to our second round
Moment of Silence for the Fallen
Zero of the top 25% Bidoofs according to E4 advanced into Creature's t100
also zero of E4's t3 from Round 2 advanced
E4’s Top 25% Still Remaining
42.67% advanced
Tied 4-5/75 | 3/300 - Technically was one of the t3 most voted in R1
A lot of my favorites stayed in but I will admit I lost the plot about halfway through and forgot the theme and chose what i liked. I am still surprised so many non-pukachu/charizard/eevee entries remained.
I was kinda surprised to see the red moon absol eliminated, that felt like a judges pick to survive instead of some of the more freestyle ones. I’m happy to see the gotch melmetal still going strong bit i highly doubt it’s possibilities for awards if they honour the theme even slightest. Or if some of the judges like to regularly raise from water steaming while surrounded by chains i’ll gladly buy the actual promo card of it
The range in art styles and creativity is a lot better than the last illustration contest. I’m a lot more optimistic we’ll get actually cool looking cards winning this time instead of the technically good but bland winners of previous years.
I’m very sad my favorite pikachu didn’t make it though.
I wouldn’t hold your breath, but I do agree there are more quality ones than last year in the top 100 and it’s always good to be optimistic. So help me lawd if they pick 3 bland ones. But yes, the fact that that pikachu got chopped over half the ones that stayed is crazy. At least the other half of pika’s are solid though.
Here’s my hope. That at least one or two among these place in the top 3.
These are my favorites for each Pokemon based on what is left while also trying to keep in mind the theme. There are definitely some other favorites I’d also be happy to see get selected!
