Winners of the illustration contest being held by the imminent Hatsune Miku Expo 2016 and graphics software company Celsys have been announced, granting them not only tickets to the Miku expo but a copy of Clip Studio Paint Pro, which was likely sought after by those not even interested in the virtual diva.
The event garnered over 250 total submissions from December 22nd to January 29th, the winners can be observed below:
Finally the pros don’t even give a damn on this contest…how sad.
There is a lot more “pros” doing greater works on pixiv for free on a daily basis.
A few of today pixiv submits:

And I could go on and on and on.
Huh… Only 250 entries in about 4 week for a relatively popular (or so I’m guessing) visual subject.
-The winners look closer to experienced/professional work.
-The rest (at least shown here) look amateurish.
I find that kinda telling of the sponsor and the event. I figure a contest for Miku art would get far more entries than that. It was either low-key, had heavy restrictions, or no one really cared for the prizes.
The most Mikutaku just know better than dishonour their goddess with untalented drawings.
