Division 1: Sh0u
All the red musical notes floating around drew my attention first, seconded by the character's bright clothing. The blurred background seems to fit quite well with the rest of the picture.

Division 2: Bou
The monochrome woman sticks out from the faded blues, making the detail on her face and hands more pronounced. And what I interpret as a tsunami of snow also helped define the monochrome woman and the owl in her hands.

Division 1: ShOu
The use of color and musical notes caught my eye immediately.

Division 2: Bou
I was drawn to the outline of the face and the hair. Overall I find the theme clean and coherent.

Good luck to all the contestants.

Division 1: Sh0u
I was going to choose MaruDashi at first, but then I started to compare bit both, Sh0u's picture catches my eye more (must be the background colors), I sorta like the outfit on the character, so I decided to go with Sh0u

Division 2: Bou
I like the swirl, well huge swirl more so, its really cool and nice to look at, and its as if snow is just.. coming out of her head and surrounding her place, all in all it caught my eye

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

Wow, pretty cool drawings from each one, congrats people! As for me, I'll go with
Sh0u although some parts of the drawings are a bit off because he didn't use the right shading and it makes it look a little too sketchy although it's colored, however I like the details, I like the character and the way it's representing the theme.

And then it's Bou, for the concept, first of all, and the realization, second. Although I'm not exactly sure about the meaning of that swirl going out of her head nor can I tell exactly what she's holding.

Division 1: Sh0u
I did like the other entry, and I know they intended it to do with music, and that it was inspired by music, but the other one caught my eye more, and I felt it went better with the theme. Although both entries were great.

Shou - I like the proportions, and the whole concept of it all.
Bou - Cool concept as well, and it's really interesting. Not used to seeing stuff like that.

D.1: Shou
Personally I wan't a fan of the red musical notes and blurred colored BG. But the drawing was nice and it fit the theme really well

D.2: Bou
I like this drawing. The concept is very nice and it's very clean. I like the way the figure was drawn. Pretty proportionate. The drawing has a nice calm take on the theme.
