We finally concluded our voting process, thank you all for your patience.
Here is the final decision:
MariaVirgine is the winner of this month's HTOTM!
Honourable mentions go to Leonardo and xtscx.
Here is some insight on the voting procedures, and why we gave such verdict:
MariaVirgine made a head that exceeded all other heads with immaculate mapping skills, an amazing idea, and near perfect execution. We believe it was the best pick, and all can agree that, although it was a hard competition between the three above mentioned heads, we took our time to consider the decision.
“Maria exceeds any other artists when it comes to skill, the fur is imitated perfectly, and I can't really say anything to disregard it. Maria delivered, when it comes to execution.”
“I didn't expect a more childlike take on things regarding Love, but it works and it's a wonderful callback to childhood.”
“Excellent,the details really make this one shine. A lot of polish went into this fluffy noggin, and it has a surprising amount of depth for being mapped to a literal sphere, thanks to the shading.”
As for xtscx, the head was a very interesting concept. A head with a fairly simple idea and great contrasting execution. It was very hard to compare all entries, but we concluded that this head is worthy of a honorary mention.
“It all comes together really well, i cannot for the life of me find anything that clashes, so this isa damned fine head!”
“ to me its a 10/10on this aspect. Colors, idea, cute animal hat, drawing techniques and also the nostalgia i have when seeing this type of head, i would wear this head myself.”
“Big plus on the other focal point (besides the head), being a cats butthole
”
Leonardo’s entry was top notch, had a very original concept, never been done before. It was definitely hard to pull off, but we’re all amazed by the sheer detail the focal points had.
“While I love the portrayal tori and uke, the whole style behind the head texture, there is an overwhelming amount of focal points, which isn't a bad thing... I just feel like it's the only imperfection.”
“Theme is on point, i think its the best one that represent love with multiple ways/vibes.”
“Artistically i love the shit out of this, it's just a bit of a shame that many of the finer details will likely be overlooked in actual game usage due to how small the head will be on screen. As a standalone thing though, it looks great!”
Once again, thank you for your entries! Hope you all enjoyed participating, and spectators appreciated the communities artistic galore!
