Last year, I hosted a Mother's Day contest centered around my own Mamabito, promising the winner a commission-quality request as the grand prize! I had many participants, and so many of them were just too good! But I had to narrow it down somehow, and I managed to get three runners-up-- who all get sketch requests-- and one grand prize winner! As I promised, work on these drawings would begin once Memories of Arcadia was completed. So, after a short break, I got right to work on those sketches! Here's the last of those three, this time for 12Beast1212 !

When laying out the rules for my contest, I added the option for 3D submissions on a whim, so as not to leave out potential 3D modeling artists who might want to participate. Much to my surprise, not only did 12Beast1212 make a unique 3D model for Mamabito, he went on to create a short animation with her! Note: You will need to Download the file as browser support for Flash died back in December, RIP. I was blown away by the effort that must have gone into his submission, so I felt he more than earned a spot among my runners-up!

For his prize, 12Beast1212 wanted to see some art centered around a game I'd never heard of before, called Sea of Solitude. In it, a young girl named Kay is so consumed by her own loneliness that she's transformed into a monster, and must navigate a vast ocean to find and help others that have been plagued by the same plight. It looks like an interesting and unique game, to be sure, and it wound up making for a unique piece of art! Here we have Kay and her monster form building a sandcastle together! If this posing looks familiar, it's because I was requested to follow a similar composition to my Winter Wonderland piece from a couple Christmases ago!

That's it for the runners-up, which means there's just the grand prize left to complete! It might be a while before we see it here, since the gravity of the piece is pretty overwhelming just to think about. Best not to rush it! Until next time, take care of yourselves!
