I must say, although I like the unique elements, I disagree. orz From the company's perspective, I feel this entry would have been recieved less well.

The colour harmony on Maika's design works better with its analogous pastel hues. While in some ways I would say it was too busy, the disharmony I see in the above entry excedes its possible issues. The artstyle isn't as polished (greater colour variation was used in Maika's shading, giving a more pleasent and natural effect; thick outlines can often increase an impression of roughness) and the pose appears slightly awkward and unclear.

I mean, if you listed the elements on their own (capris, visa, wings) and said 'I'll make a design with these', I would be jumping for joy, but the execution – for me – fails.
