Results! Finally! Sorry for the long wait!!
And the winners are…
To view their work in full size and check voting results, please go to this post)
This year, I received quite a number of entries that happen to have very similar themes as in how LalaParadise is being presented: Lots of bishies, goods, figures, drama/game discs and chibis! I’m overwhelmed by the love for all things Nitro+Chiral lol~ But I’m glad to see parodies and other BL and non-BL bishies from omerta, kichiku megane, utapri, natsume yuujinchou, etc too.
I wonder what you guys will come up with if I continue with this theme next year ^^;; I still hope to be surprised.
That said, it was rather agonising to finally select the Top 3 winners (*_*) each year.
1) Top Prize Winner: dairytea (No. 28)
Nitro+Chiral Togainu no Chi Y-shirt Akira Plushie Strap
Togainu trump book cover
Lamento Trump Bookmarks
Comment: I wish I had a real-life bishie buddy like your OC whom I can drag along with me in my otaku/fujoshi ways lol~ The boys are gorgeous and I love your chibis from different anime include Ai no Kusabi, Utapri, Lamento, Hakuouki… Gosh what a cute Iason and Heisuke you have there! :D
2) 2nd Prize Winner: camicarlot (No. 30)

Comment: You have a very unqiue chibi style and I love the way you incorporated things like plushies, CDs, and figures into your artwork. Koujaku’s ecstatic “I love you soOoOoo much Aoba!” expression made me smile. Isn’t that a Hatsune Miku figma Akushima is holding? And the dakimakura Mink has under his arm, Noize is reading my blog! And Clear! Lol~ Too cute :D

Uwaah! I won?! I didn’t think I’d win. Th-thank you so much~
I love, love, love the prizes. So adorable! I love BL, but I’ve always been too shy to buy their goodies myself. These will be my first. >//u//<
I'll definitely put them to use! Ah~ for the fortune cookies, I don't know if I can eat something so special. X3 (I'll email you my address. xoxo)
@dairytea: aww glad you love the prizes. You definitely deserve them! XD Yep, please eat the cookies lol~ I’ve sent them, hope they reach you soon! <3
Congrats to all the winners :3
Good job XD
Congrats to all the winners!
@Hannah: thanks for taking part :D
Congrats to Lucky winners~ <3
The prizes are yummy!
You plan to make product with picture from this years contest like last years?(with the pillow printed with TnC artwork entry?)
Hope you are doing well pony~<3
@Dandycorsets: yes I do! I’m thinking of using snapfish to do the printing :P Not sure about the quality. Have you used them before?
http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/gifts/product=pillowcase
I’m doing great! Just super busy with work and classes orz;; Miss you much! <3 I hope you're doing well too dear *hugs* keep me updated okie?
I never heard of snapfish before, but the product looks nice. <3
I'm sure there must be reviews somewhere on the web you can search up. What company did you use before to make other pillow? The printing quality from that was great.
Aww, miss you too! ;_;
Don't work to hard and good luck in classes!! Keep me updated too!
I am also having trouble keeping up with work and classes…summer is more tougher because classes are shorter and everything is packed into a short amount of time. So many test to take. No free time. X_X
Also trying to get my health in check. When i went to the eye doctor few weeks back, he told me to get a MRI. he says i have something putting pressure on my eye's in my head. He didn't want to scare me but he thinks it might be a tumor are something else like it.(Which could explain the chronic migraines i get.) ;_;
So yea lot things going on in my life. OTL;;
@dandycorsets: oh my, you’re going so much! *_* Please take care *hugs* I’m sure you’ll be well. Hope that work and studies go smoothly too! Let me know soon!
I’ll update you on the wonderfest stuff as it comes up. Seems like the next GK figure by Onizuka Seiji will be available by then. They announced their license application for the event recently.
Catch u later <3
aww, thank you, and i will~<3
College has been good so far~
I saw! The sculpt looks great!!*o*
Love the illustration!! They make a great tag team in the GK scene. I actually got to tweet to the sculptor once a while back (gave a complement on the sculpt.), she(?) is so nice!(was scared to write her, because i wasn't sure if she could understand english;;)
Did the fest start already?
hope your doing well!
@dandycorsets: ( ^3^)/ ~chuu~ that’s great!
I’m sure she appreciates your compliments! The upcoming Wonderfest is on 29 July. Let me know if you want to get the new GK. I’ll check with our usual proxy. Let me know! You can contact her directly too :D http://kaimonodaikou.ninja-x.jp/how2buy.html
Aww, i have no money for a GK this year~ ;_;
The money i was saving for it i had to put toward doctor bills.
Maybe she will release painted ones later on? Can’t wait to see those~
You getting one?
You know i worked a bit on my GK a few months ago but. all i did was sand down the seams. I ended up making a big buubuu on his leg XD; i think i can fix it with clay though;;
btw have you seen Natsuyuki Rendezvous? ;w; it’s super love~<3
@dandycorsets: *hugs* I hope both of us can get him! Most importantly, u gotta get well!
I haven’t got round to fixing the GK up. At the rate I’m going, I may have to pay someone to do it for me one day orz;;
I was interested to watch Natsuyuki Rendezvous but I kinda forgot! Thanks for the reminder XDD
*cries* i regret not getting the nirvana figure now ;o; he looks so awesome painted! I wish they sold finished casts (i wonder if there ever going to recast him again for resale?) I left a comment on her page about if she is able to sell out of the country, (lol XD yes i fail), but yea answer is predictably no.OTL
The sketches for her next project is so yummy *_* seems shes going to be doing busts?!
@dandycorsets: yeah, the finished figure looks awesome! But it’ll set us back at least 250 bucks each (ToT) At least we’re sharing the cost of her going to WF if we bought together orz;; if buying one myself maybe about 300+ OTL;;; [edit] cos the exchange rate is not helping at all.
Seems like it! The faces of the busts are so gorgeous.
oh god, the price totally slipped my mind~ XoX
@dandycorsets: (/_\) sigh… yeah, why so expensive…

More than only being happy for the lovely prizes, this post also gave me more energy to come back to my derivatives XD

I was expecting to share the fortune cookies with my cosplay team mates, but the box shows it’s best to eat before the next con…
U_U A shame I’ll have to eat it aaaaaaall alone… I’m sooooo sad, girls… *eats another one*
(My mom is staring the fortune cookies box and asking why the hell they’re half naked X’D poor woman.)
@Senkai: That’s great :D I’m glad it got to you safely! Enjoy! Remember to email pix of your fortunes! I wanna see them <3
Lol~ I thought its generally accepted for men to be half-naked XD
