Hellooo, everybody! Today's video is extra special. I am officially announcing the
winners of The Savior's Series fan art contest. And Butters is here to help me,
right Butters? She's just happy to be here. In honor of The Savior's Champion’s book birthday,
I hosted a fan art contest throughout the month of April. Basically anyone could submit whatever
fan art they wanted for The Savior Series. It could be digital artwork, it could be hand drawn,
hand painted, it could be memes, it could be quotes, it could be aesthetics—whatever. Give
me all the artwork. I had expected maybe 30 people to enter, and we got 116 entries! Holy shit!
This was wonderful and delightful, and honestly just made my whole life. But the problem was that I
said there were only going to be three winners. How do you choose three winners out of 116
people now? These three winners were going to get massive prize packs. This included a signed copy
of both The Savior's Champion and The Savior’s Sister. It included merch from my merch store,
all TSC themed. And it also included exclusive merch, merch that was specific to this contest
that you can't get anywhere else. And I could only choose three people for this.
Talk about shooting myself in the foot. So for the sake of making my job a little bit easier,
I decided why don't we just choose some more winners? I couldn't create more prize packages
because of the exclusive merch, but what I decided is I would choose ten winners in total. Three
grand prize winners, and then seven winners who would receive signed copies of either The Savior's
Champion or The Savior Sister, they'd get to decide. So with that said, I am here to announce
the ten winners of The Savior Series fan art contest. I am super excited for this.
Butters is super excited for it. Let's check out those winners!

And now let's get to those ten winners! I divided them up into categories for your
enjoyment. Starting with Category one, Laughing My Ass Off. The winner was Jeffrie Price.
Jeffrie Price created three drawings based on The Savior's Champion and The Savior’s Sister.
And they were all fucking hilarious. Cosima’s tits in this one are a little bit horrifying,
but hysterical. And we all love a good Kaleo ass, don't we? Well, I guess Tobias doesn't,
but you know, that's his problem. But my favorite drawing of all, was the drawing of The Sovereign,
and baby Leila, and Delphis mom where baby Leila is saying ‘fuck’ and The Sovereign’s like: Ooop,
have no idea how she learned that! My favorite part is his heart boxers, and the ‘#2 Dad’ mug,
it's just (kiss sound) chef's kiss to the detail. Next up we have category, Meme Me Up Scotty.
The winner is Emma Pierskalla. Emma submitted a million TSC and TSS themed memes, and they were
all hilarious. It's a slight exaggeration, I think she submitted about 16 memes, but still, holy
crap! All the memes were amazing. I especially loved the one that's all about fawning over
Tobleila, but really they were all so fantastic. They had me cracking up and I just really,
really appreciated the support and dedication. Next category, Art Imitates Life In Thessen. The
winner is Kahbbie. Kahbbie created two pieces for The Savior Series fan art contest. One is
this hilarious drawing of Tobias, Raphael and Enzo at prom! We got Tobias smuggled in the middle. We
got Enzo who's just having the best time, the time of his life. And then Raphael is like, “Ugh! Why
am I here? How did I get roped into this? Fuck my life.” We love grumpy little Raphael. Then we have
this amazing, stunning piece of Tobias and Leila. If you're not familiar with very famous art,
this is a retelling or representation of a very famous piece of art called The Kiss.
Kahbbie redesigned it in her own style, with Tobias and Leila instead. And I'm really into art,
I am just obsessed with this piece and I love it so, so, so much, and I just cannot get over it.
It is so amazing. Next category. Give Me That Beautiful Hair. The winner is Jess Jay. This
was one of my favorite pieces submitted to The Savior Series fan art contest. I mean, obviously,
that's why it's one of the winners. I loved the attention to detail. I love the brightness of
the colors. And what I especially loved if you couldn't tell by the category name, is
the hair. Look at their fucking perfect ass hair. It is stunning, it is gorgeous, it is beautiful,
it is perfection. I also just loved, like I said, the attention to detail. She really
paid attention to the character descriptions, and matched it so well in her own art style.
This is one of my favorite pieces that I've ever received. It's just so adorable and sweet. And I
have hair envy over my own characters now. Thanks a lot Jess. Next category, Is It Hot In Here? Or
Is It Just Tobleila? The winner is Aseria Art. This piece, holy shit. When I showed my writer
friends and critique partners, they all lost their mind, they flipped, out because it's so
beautiful and so fucking romantic. This, if you guys remember, is the part in The Savior's
Champion and The Savior Sister where Tobias is painting and he's teaching Leila how to paint.
So they've got these beautiful paint smudges on them, and they're just about to kiss,
and oh my gosh, it's just so beautiful, and perfect, and romantic, and I love it so much.
Aseria Art has also contributed a lot of beautiful pieces in the past. You may see one of her pieces
in the backdrop of my videos. I also have another one of her pieces on my wall. I have a little fan
art wall in my studio. I just think she's an amazing artist, and I am so honored that she
contributed to this contest, and what a beautiful piece this is. The next category is, Illustration
Perfection and the winner is Andy Rivers. Andy Rivers submitted three pieces to The Savior
Series fan art contest. I love this original style. It kind of reminds me of a little bit
of a comic book style. And I just feel like this talent is so good for illustrations. Andy Rivers,
if you're not an illustrator, you totally should be, because these pieces are beautiful. I also
loved that they're paired with specific quotes in the book. You know that's really important to me,
obviously I'm a writer. I like it when people pay attention to the writing, to the dialogue,
and you know, kind of pick out their favorite lines. I just loved that these adorable drawings
directly translated into specific lines from the book. It just made my heart sing, and I just think
these are so beautiful and so sweet, and I—now I just wanna to see Andy Rivers create a comic book,
or a graphic novel, or something like that. The next category is, Buttercup Appreciation. And
the winner is Butters Biggest Fangirl. That is the artist's name she chose to go with. I am not
making that up. Butters you got a fangirl! You got a fangirl! Butters Biggest Fangirl created
this gorgeous drawing of Leila holding Butters. Oh my gosh, look how fucking cute it is. And look,
it looks just like Butters! Doesn't it Butters? That looks just like you, that looks just like
you. I just love this so much. This was one of the first pieces that anyone sent in. Oh, it's just so
cute. Leila looks adorable, Buttercup looks adorable. I'm obsessed. Now before we move
on. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who entered the contest. It was so hard just
to choose ten winners. There were so many other pieces that really, really, made my heart sing.
There were so many other pieces of art that I was obsessed with. There were so many memes
that I died laughing over. I just want you guys to know how much I appreciated you entering. I also
want to give a huge shout out to Odette A Bach. If you're not familiar, Odette A Bach is my cast
artist. She created all of the cast portraits for The Savior’s Sister, and she's absolutely amazing.
She entered the contest as well, and provided some absolutely stunning pictures. One was of Kaleo.
I mean, oh my gosh, he looks so hot, he looks amazing. But I especially loved this beautiful,
beautiful picture of Tobias and Leila when he's working on his charcoal sketch. It's just
so, so stunning. Thank you so much to Odette for creating these amazing pieces to add to
all of the other beautiful pieces you've created for The Savior Series. I just absolutely adore it,
and I absolutely adore you. And now we move on to the three grand prize winners. These are the
people who walked away with the mega ultra prize packs. The first category is, Book Cover Realness,
and the winner is Cynthia Conner. I think it's very clear why Cynthia won the Book
Cover Realness category. Look at this piece. It looks like a hardcover book wrap. Honestly, this
is so beautiful. I cannot get over Leila’s dress, the detail, the flowy quality, it is absolutely
stunning. And it is exactly how I imagined her wardrobe to look like. Honestly, I could totally
see this being a hardcover wrap for a special edition of The Savior’s Sister. It is just
mind bogglingly beautiful, and I just cannot say enough nice things about it. The next category is,
Absolute Chaos and the winner is a Leftysaurus. I am obsessed. Absolutely obsessed with this drawing
of the piggies obstacle from The Savior's Champion. When Lefty told me she was going to
be drawing the piggy obstacle, I lost my mind, that is one of my favorite obstacles from
The Savior's Champion. And I had no idea it would be this detailed, and this good. It is so epic.
Not only did she catch actual individual moments that happened in the book, but she created some of
her own. I really like Enzo holding a screaming Xander. And then I also love that fucking Orion
is just punting a pig off of the pillar. He's just like “Fuck this pig, get this pig away from me!”
Lefty also contributed a second drawing of Tobias and Leila. It is so romantic. I love
that you can see all of the glowing swirls that Leila draws on Tobias’s body, and I just love the
look in Tobias’s eyes. His eyes, he's just like staring at her adoringly, and it's just precious,
and romantic, and wonderful. The last category is, Thematic Excellence and the winner is Nicole
Lorand Grant. What can I say about this? This picture is just fucking stunning, and I call it
Thematic Excellence because it has so many easter eggs, and symbols, and themes nestled within this
beautiful drawing. We have the card game, we have peaches, even the dagger on Laila’s thigh
is just so precisely drawn. Honestly, when I saw this, I was just hypnotized and just staring at it
forever, looking at all of the details. Honestly, I just cannot get over how talented my readers
are. These drawings and submissions are so beautiful and I just can't get enough of them.
So there you have it. Those were the ten winners of The Savior Series fan art contest.
