🏆 1st Place - Tanuki Painting Contest 2026

Congratulations to @grimsoulslab for this outstanding interpretation of Malenia from Elden Ring.

The judges praised the exceptional attention to detail, the harmony of the color palette, and the impressive variety of materials and textures. The metallics, fabrics, wood, and translucent effects were all highlighted as some of the strongest aspects of the piece.

One comment summed it up perfectly:
“Out of this world!”
