2016's Genre Jumble Champions

Posted by Kim on June 20, 2016, 8:13pm

After a month of attempting different combinations, dying a little inside every time a genre mascot entry needed to be cut, and trying to sneak all of them back in more than once, it's time to unveil 2016's genre jumble champions! I want to congratulate all of our entrants, even those who aren't featured in the final jumble. Many extremely worthy entrants were eliminated in the process of creating a final composition, through no flaw of their own. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves; I certainly I am!

Every year, our genre jumble becomes more complex, jaw-dropping and just plain bigger -- this year, the stunning variety of characters overflowed their historic confines, and became a full-width horizontal image instead of a more constrained square. Combined with the range of styles and genres featured, it's an apt metaphor for our supercalifragilisticexpialidocious community.

Top to bottom, left to right, our winning artists are...
  • Owelle
  • f0x1nth3b0x
  • HibariHaru
  • DreamBubble
  • Heimdall
  • Lyss
  • Abby
  • Novalyyn
  • Wooby
  • Degu
  • Moki & Tate
  • MatRatBird
  • Sland
  • Tate
  • Skye
  • Goo

I know I just said it, but I have to say thank you again to everyone who entered. You are all eye-poppingly talented. Everyone who entered this year topped their own previous year's entry. I urge everyone to browse the contest thread to see ALL the amazing entries. Do it now! :D

To all our artists: You are an inspiration. I am so proud of you. Keep on rocking.

I had a feeling that one character with the cool looking keyboard scythe would be part of the final jumble.

But all of the characters look incredible! Everyone did an amazing job; I can't wait to see next year's entries already!
