(note: the winners were chosen purely based on the design itself and with no regard for general art skill)

IN THIRD PLACE WE HAVE: @theroserainbowgamer !! Out of all the designs on this list, Rainbowgamer’s Aurora has the most creative concept I’ve seen: a big goofy Aikido fighter rolling around and saving the day in bright orange heelies. The way her active outfit’s shirt is cut in a way to reveal an orange layer beneath it in reference to her beak adds detail while also serving as a way to lead up to her face. You can even see the same V appearing in her chill form, only with her hoodie this time. Her moon pendant is also a great touch to tie back in with the og Aurora. Her giant, bulky form gives her a strong Silhouette, helped by her back double hair buns, which allows her to have 2 circles coming out of her head no matter which way she’s facing. She has as strong as a personality as she does physical strength and is all around a lovable and interesting take on Aurora!

IN SECOND PLACE WE HAVE: @Piper1231234 !! What I love about Piper’s design is how much story and personality I can see coming out of their character. Though many designs decided to go with a more whimsical approach to their outfits, what I like about this Aurora is that her clothing choices feel intentional. With her hiking boots and thick mittens, you can tell she’s active and adventurous at first look. She doesn’t lose any creativity with this approach either, as she’s also rocking an equally amazing Aurora bag referencing her og design that helps add more interest. I’ve seen many Aurora bags throughout the contest, but this one takes the cake as being the best-designed. I love all the subtle details about it, like the front pouch representing her stomach and her earmuff strap being translated into the little loop where you hang it from on top. Overall, a simple yet incredibly well-thought-out design!

AND FINALLY…

IN FIRST PLACE WE HAVE: @Eyeshiner !! just look at this dude she's so cool

okok fr this time...

IN FIRST PLACE WE HAVE: @Cook5i6eOriginal !! Probably one of the toughest decisions I’ve made in my life trying to decide on a winner for this thing, but I’ll say I'm satisfied with my choice :D

There were many similarly designed Auroras to Cook5i6e’s, but her adaptation incorporated some of my favorite aspects about the others altogether, without directly taking from any of them. She has a strong silhouette created by well-placed round shapes breaking up her form, like her big chunky sweater, socks, and poofy hair. The way her design naturally flows up by creating teardrop-like shapes from her socks to her sweater before stopping at the focal point of her face allows for her design to be easily readable and pleasing to look at. Her design also includes many references to the og Aurora in the form of pins and patterns (My favorite is the tiny moons found around her outfit; their yellow colour and crescent shape allows for them to double as a reference to her beak ^^). This Aurora has a great balance of detail and breathing space that aids in her readability as well. Whenever I look at her, she gives me the same aloof vibes that Aurora does; I can totally see this being her human form!

All in all, a mindfully designed and visually appealing version of Aurora! Congratulations on winning the contest, you may attach an OC ref below >:D
