The wait is over, it's time to announce the winner of our Bowsette / Super Crown Art Contest!
We received over 560 entries and the vast majority of them were really damn good; I think this might be the best art contest in the history of NG.
TOP THREE ENTRIES
1. Magikoopa by @LukeValentineArt
LukeValentineArt's gorgeous piece mixes soft appeal with vivid colors that really catch the eyes. The expression really sells it as a great transformation!
Congrats Luke, the Switch is yours!
2. Chompette by @SoftDon
Don's popping piece mixes designs so well you can get absolutely lost in the texture of the illustration combined with it's amazing shades. Well shaped with fantastic body language that really brings out the most in how far these mashups can go.
3. SuperCrown-Booette by @TwistedGrim
TwistedGrim's charming loop brings the fun of boo characteristics to life as he mixes the shy aspect in with a touch of the princess's special appeal. He flaunts his assets the same way she does with his great use of cartoony animation, creating a fun moment with the possibilities of the super crown.
Thank you @PhantomArcade, @IvanAlmighty and @Spazkid for serving as judges!
