Thank you so much

I didn't think I'd have enough energy to participate, but here we are...

Here is Larry the Nekomeowancer for the fantasy genre

i am far from a talented rendering artist. i tend to stick to bust shot sketches LOL. but im throwing this in anyhow 'cause... why not? saw a lot of people doing fantasy things so figured a modern-type one would be fun

Goblin pirate for fantasy

Ooooh, these are all so cute!!

This THREAD is just... *chef's kiss*

Until you gotta make as many as you can fit together reasonably. ;P

I absolutely could not resist making another one so here she is. The Bubble Merchant for the steam punk category! She even comes with a poem/song that I'll add in a collapse at the bottom of the post

Bubble Merchant




Bubble Merchant (without additional bubbles in case it helps her fit in the jumble better)

You know what, I'm realizing that tomorrow is a holiday in the US and I won't be here much to begin judging anyway... So I think we will extend the deadline 24 more hours, just in case some of you are scrambling right now

PRAISE BE!

((To the uninitiated--the Raptor and the Rider aren't established characters, despite the lore I've written here. I first drew them for the 2020 Genre Jumble contest, with lofty goals to draw them for the next two as well. For 2023, we'll be back to something totally new!))

Our first glimpse of the Rider saw them checking the heartbeat of their companion inside the egg.

...

Our second look showed us that the Raptor had hatched, and the Rider had grown up a bit as well! It was time for the Rider to teach their new companion a few things about flying.

...

And now, at last, we see our dynamic duo take to the skies! The Raptor has grown into its chunky beak and awkward gait. It has shed its dewclaws now that it is airborne, and its bright sparkling markings are beginning to fade. The Rider has grown as well--their face is a little more weathered, and they have a shiny clockwork prosthetic to replace their missing arm. Medals and baubles are an inconvenience in the sky, but they still couldn't help attaching their precious feather charm to their tail--and I'm sure the Raptor's eggshell is tucked safely under their flight jacket.

What adventures await them?



This is my entry for creatures, fantasy, and steampunk—the last installment of the Raptor and the Rider!

Aaaaa look at all that detail. Rendering every single feather. It's so beautiful 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 you've really outdone yourself!!!

Oh wow, what a beautiful last-minute entry! Absolutely gorgeous work!!!

Sooo how that mascot thing going? O.O

It'll take some time for Kim to assemble things into the final jumble. She tries to fit as many as possible, but it's no easy task getting so many unique pieces to work harmoniously!

True, true i was just wondering since Kim said it was extended for 24 hours due U.S.A holiday, and then just silence. I guess i was expecting announcement of contest ending.

Gotcha!

*vibrates with excitement to see who the winners are*

I am colorblind and have never taken an art class. In high school as a person who can see no color, I was opted to take music instead. I wanted to say that I am absolutely stunned by the quality of artwork I have seen in these threads...and I truly envy your talents! Amazing jobs!

Update: I'm still struggling away to get as many as I can into one image, but I'm REALLY HOPING to have an announcement for you this weekend or soon after.
