First Prize Winner

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

At first glance, this artwork immediately caught my attention with its striking maid outfit. The adorable ears, tail, and paws create a strong contrast with the combat gear, making it incredibly eye-catching. The chest area serves as the primary visual focal point, skillfully guiding the viewer’s gaze through the use of perspective and lighting — a clever technique for enhancing the visual appeal of an anime-style character. Additionally, the color palette is well-balanced, and the overall dynamism, along with the intricate details of the outfit, demonstrates the artist’s solid skills. Great job!

Second Prize Winners

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The dynamic and impactful pose, the crumbling cityscape, the trajectory of bullets, and the flying dust all vividly suggest a battlefield environment and intense tension, leaving a strong impression. From a technical standpoint, the artwork excels in both the large-scale perspective of the body structure and the intricate details of the clothing and head. It’s an outstanding piece.

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The humorous portrayal of Vlad perfectly captures his personality, blending a dual charm of fierceness and adorableness with a commanding, powerful presence. The low-angle perspective, the weapon’s direction, and the flying shell casings all heighten the dynamic and imposing atmosphere, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and expressive strength.

Third Prize Winners

Artist: https://x.com/wolfox004

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The exaggerated perspective composition and Akai's dynamic, tension-filled posture convey a sense of combat or attack, infusing the scene with energy and impact. The fluid and expressive lines, especially in depicting details like her fur and clothing folds, showcase texture and dimensionality through their variations. The warm tones on Akai contrast effectively with the cool tones of the background, enhancing the visual impact of the artwork.

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

Marquez is positioned at the visual center, while Ryan and Jack help enhance the atmosphere, creating a clear distinction between the primary and secondary elements. Together, they depict a highly amusing and lively scene. The artwork is dominated by cool tones, with her pink paw pads particularly eye-catching — likely one of the reasons why we’re all drawn to it.

Artist: https://x.com/SkeleionSFW

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The overall color palette is dominated by dark green, creating a mysterious and cool atmosphere. The bright accents on Marquez (such as her eyes and the green parts of her equipment) serve to highlight key elements, enhancing visual appeal. The artist’s use of a comic-like, flattened style results in a unique artistic approach, making it truly distinctive.
