Who can resist being drawn in by this carefree, rollicking scene?&image=im00;&br; &image=hr03;&br; &image=im00;&br; &image=im00;&image=5636_8.png; Title : 8th Anniversary Lunch Box&br;Artist : Nachu&br;Artist's Comment :&br;A Mithra, Tarutaru, and mandragoras celebrating with a cake deep in the forest.&br;&br;Judge's Comment : &br;Literally a tasty tribute to the 8th Anniversary. &br;While the Tarutaru and Mithra are undeniably adorable, it's the mandragoras that have won the hearts of the judges. We're sorely tempted to have a bite or three, but could as easily gaze in marvel at this palatable work of art for hours on end.&br;In the future, we would be keen to see someone rise to the challenge of making art out of a single a la carte dish.&image=im00;&br; &image=hr03;&br; &image=im00;&br; &image=im00;&image=5636_11.png; Title : 8th Anniversary Poster&br;Artist : Riru&br;Artist's Comment :&br;Tarutaru, Mithra, Humes, Elvaan, Galka, moogles--even monsters are invited in join!&br;&br;Judge's Comment :&br;Can you get any cuter than this? Why, there's even a Hume sporting a samurai topknot! The chocobo-inspired background lends further warmth to the already adorable assembly of characters. Who wouldn't be delighted to receive this as a postcard?&br;Out of curiosity, is it by coincidence that there are 16 characters in total?&image=im00;&br; &image=hr03;&br; &image=im00;&br; &image=im00;&image=5636_14.png; Title : Celebrating on a Starry Hillock&br;Artist : Kupipi&br;Artist's Comment :&br;A cake baked and decorated in the spirit of the anniversary.&br;From the tree and Goblin to the mandragora and Tarutaru, everything you see is edible!&br;&br;Judge's Comment :&br;The artist evidently spared no effort in producing this scrumptious three-tiered cake. Among other things, the marzipan characters are a sight to behold...and undoubtedly tasty too! We also couldn't help but notice that the alphabet biscuits have been baked to perfection.&image=im00;&br; "
