👑Soar_WLE - Beyond Dimensions👑
I expressed this through the contact between the tablet pen and the character’s eye, while conveying the character’s vitality through dynamic, wave-like water. The water’s surface represents the boundary between dimensions, emphasizing the contrast in density between the 2D world and reality. At the same time, its transparency blurs the distinction between the white canvas and the real world.
Through this work, I hope to evoke a sense of empathy and encourage viewers to reflect on why we create art—why we continue to draw—and to consider their own answers to these fundamental questions.

🥈Blake Donaldson - Day Dream🥈
"The character is us, someone working to harness their creative potential deep within themselves in an otherwise drab and dull (monochromatic) world, doggedly pushing through the spirits of doubt and fear, facing off with somebody else who’s already harnessed their own potential. Their rival and their inspiration."
A Judge’s Comment.
🥈Vabee Homvut - Vilar City [City of Cats]🥈
To me, one subject can be translated into many visual interests! So, I thought: what if I took the topic of 'Cats'—how much could I create based on a single motif?"
A Judge’s Comment.
🥉Blake Byun - Tranquil Dissonance🥉
By setting the character as a witch in a fantasy world, I aimed to explore the contrast between a "cozy-looking distance" and the "uncomfortable truths" found upon closer inspection. "
A Judge’s Comment.
🥉Han-bi Kwon - Tulip Perfume: Spring Fairy🥉
"Refining my skills and searching for direction felt like crafting a perfume, so I expressed
this piece as a perfume promotion poster. The figure in the bottle symbolizes a creator
shaped by Coloso, while the surrounding tulips represent inspirations gained along the way."
