Well heck.
Time to mope.

Out of 10,830 illustrations submitted to the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest, none of the three I put in made the cut in the first round of judging.

I've scanned it over four times hoping I missed it.

Here are the three hundred quarter finalists.

At the very least, there's a lot of cool art to look at, and I have used this contest to push my skill level as far as it would go and have gotten much better at digital art as a result.

I look forward to seeing who wins.

I will post my rejected entries on my other account tomorrow.

@Felthry The entries they selected are super interesting and well made. They are worth checking out.

@ziphi will give them a look sometime!

...we still need to see about getting that picture of yours printed that you said we could, too
