Creativity

So, there is this online shop World Of Games (WOG|wog dot ch) where I usually buy my games and consoles'n stuff. A couple of weeks ago they announced a contest where you can win a #PS4 at launch (EU launch | 20131129). To participate, you had to send in a pic of your PlayStation collection and they then would select the Top10 (based on creativity - not size) for a final voting.
Now, I am thankful that they organized smth like that at all BUT it was disappointing to see that non of my following two pics was selected for the voting... 

'Creation of the Gamer' inspired by Michelangelos 'Creation of Adam'

'Sackboy in the World of Games'

...when pics like...


OR


...made it to the final round.

No offense but come on! - it just feels unjust or do I have a 'wrong' perception of creativity and faithful execution of creative ideas? I am not the only one complaining btw... and I don't care for the prize or that I lost - I just can't imagine that there where no other/better submissions than some of the chosen 'Top10' :-/

What to you think? Tell me in the comments - thank you.

(Visit the FB page of WOG to see all finalists... if interested.)

Project VGS | Sumas

Yes - I promised some stories about all the gadgets and toys and stuff in my last post and you will get them eventually... not now. Instead, let me show you some Samus Aran doodles I made this week when I got bored doing research/reading science papers...

Samus | Varia Suit

Samus | Power Suit

I have never really tried to draw anything Metroid related so far and obviously these are very rough and quick sketches + I didn't use any references. I started sketching Samus as part of something bigger I'll reveal soon - maybe.
