  『バーベキュー』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  With a BBQ under a blue sky, this is a truly summer situation! And to see the Stylish Weapon Skin DLC used like this is fantastic! The cheerful and lively faces of these friends make it a wonderful work of art. The way the boys are gazing at the meat is quite intense!

• Toridamono's Prize

  

  小夏ゆりさん

  『ひと夏の休息』

  Toridamono's Comment:
  They probably got tired after running under the hot sun. It's a wonderful illustration of everyone getting along happily, and it also puts the person looking at it at ease. It reminds us of pure and innocent feelings... Having multiple characters in one image requires a lot of power and can be technically difficult. But, this overcomes those issues and express each character's vividly for a really lovely piece!

  にゃあ＊さん

  『「なんてことない」１日のために』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  Realizing that her daily life thought to be boring is in fact quite precious... a photo that expresses the growth of Ryza. The way the light shines is very beautiful.

  『鍊金成功！』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  A superb reproduction of "What should I make?" to "Complete!", it's like a live-action version of Atelier Ryza. The immense joy felt when completing synthesis really comes through.

  『休憩』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  The only submission that attempted Empel's cosplay! The thorough in-depth creation, including accessories, is so wonderful. The donut in his mouth and stash of donuts next to him is very much like Empel!

  『Summer Begins☆』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  Thank you very much for all the entries! They are all wonderful works, but we chose this piece because it conveys the excitement of heading on an adventure. You can feel the individuality of each character through their poses, and the mood conveyed by the 4 of them is splendid! We hope everyone enjoys the adventure that Ryza and her friends are about to begin.

  『entrance』

  Toridamono's Comment:
  I was mesmerized by the unique colors! The way that Klaudia takes care of Tao is very touching. I could really feel the theme of this game - a summer adventure spent with friends. The overall quality is high and it is a wonderful drawing that conveys the relationship between these 4 characters.

  Kipiさん

  『ライザの“コスプレ”』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  It's Ryza's character reference sheet! We were moved to see not only her outfit, but finer details like her accessories and weapon reproduced. The pose angle is perfect! Every single part of it is cute.

  ENAさん

  『―私も、みんなと冒険に
  行ってみたい』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  A delicate and beautiful Klaudia with the night sea in the background. Not only her outfit, but the mood of her gaze and pose really match the setting, and it is a lovely picture to look at. It's almost like we can hear Klaudia whispering.

  クレアさん

  『夏の休息』

  Dev Team's Comment:
  The blue sky, ocean and white sand are a great match for Ryza. Is this Kurken Island....!? The friendly smile and pose are very Ryza-like and very lovely!
