It is very difficult to participate and hope to get at least in the runners up, if it is not clear how the work is evaluated.
Judging by the results of this competition, it is not enough to draw excellently to take the highest places, it is enough to take 5 ready-made references and combine them in Photoshop to get the top 4.

As another artist who didn't make top 20 after putting in a lot of time and effort, I can sympathize with feeling disappointed. I'd also that agree a description of the judging criteria would be helpful.

That said, there were a lot of great entries, and I don't feel it's right to put down other artists who clearly also put a lot of effort into their pieces.

Good work on your entry. It had a fun, whimsical energy to it.

Congrats to all the winners!

Special kudos to Natilo and lolozori, my fav community artists, for consistently placing in these things! ♥

It's been said before but maaaan it would suck to have to pick winners from all the submissions, so much talent!!!

But at the same time, it’s rather carelessly to add one minor detail so that the absurd entry in 11th place begins to be considered suitable for the topic of the competition.
And yet there are plenty of good works out there.
Here's how to understand it? I didn't create a masterpiece, but that doesn't mean I didn't try. And I didn’t literally redraw ready-made references, I didn’t get hung up on sticking everything with lava and Crucible trees. I won’t be surprised if I don’t even end up in the runners up, because there are probably works left that will be rated higher, just about 10 of those that were previously in highlights.

It's just disappointing, and I don't want to participate where there are 30 participants from a community of many thousands. This is probably one of the reasons why there is no Hideout competition for the second year already.

I thought I had a fair chance of winning myself, but didn't even get a runner up, so I share in your disappointment, though I am quite used to it. Despite the fact that I'm literally an illustrator and do this for a living, my entries in art contests are almost always ignored. I guess the judges like what they like and mine (or me) is not it.
