Hey Krava, it looks fantastic!  Thank you very much. : )

More shine or not is up to you, I'm very happy with how it looks though.

Final round for The Draft will be over in 1-2 days (depending on extensions) so by then I'll know who the winners are. 

Did you wanna inscribe the names of the winning team yourself?

Also do you have a name in mind for the trophy?  "The Krava Cup" perhaps?

Epic trophy. The dragon looks cool and the element marks on trophy is very nice detailing. The winner of the contest would be really lucky to win this trophy.

Although i am not artist i think there is a trick that you can make the artwork cooler by doing some simple editing at the end. Here i tried to make the trophy better by simply increasing saturation.  :)

There is plenty of space left at the bottom of the cup to inscribe the names  ;). I think " Kravian Cup " is an epic name for it. It sounds ancient and suits elements too imo.
My real-life sucks. So i come online to compensate that.

wow thanks guys :) you realy made me smile.
and LOL, because... my name, Krava means Cow in my language (croatian) so its funny to be called "cow cup"  but hey, why not :)
I thought plastique had name allready...

And, sure i can inscribe trophy for you no problem... I can also write gothic letters by hand :)

also i went for little more dark and misterious look, and this "grit" gave it more life than when i made it spit-shine clear. I ve *could* give him few more highlights but i was already overdue and my painting time is limited as much as i enjoy it.

@nik_V i know  about editing and i like my version better, but that's just me, i like darker feeling. And i picked those colors off picture of actual bronze medal :)  and yeah i just played with color of the eyes and had my art history student friend pick eye color and advise me about composition in general. :D had fun drawing this.


Also i couldn't make it symetrical. It was very difficult and i had problems with composition until my friend told me to draw it asymetrical.

Kravian Cup it is then.

Glad you had fun doing it Krava, and hand drawn gothic letters would be wonderful.  I will open the Drafting Hall of Fame thread to post the trophy soon, and I can get the winners names to you in a day or two but don't worry there is no big hurry.

I thought it was supposed to be golden trophy, so the colors were a bit dim for it to become golden. If you choose a bronze medal then i think the trophy would become more similar to a bronze trophy. So increasing saturation might make it more gold like. :) Anyway the original is awesome so i think no need of editing it further although to my eyes the edited one looks slightly better and more golden for suiting the first prize winner. Just trying to tell my opinion if it helps.  :D

You're taking requests, correct?

Can I request one for my name? As in, a giant, spiked Armagio, preferably covered in flames? Thanks in advance! These are looking awesome so far!

Huh? hmm, not sure, i cannot get larger version of armaggio picture, looks like mecha to me. Also not sure i will have time, and you didn't specify purpose nor intended use for that art. I would also rather draw something original than photo-manipulate as my time for drawing is rather limited.
