Congratulations to Malicent!
For winning SOTM #27 with an open theme.

It's quite late, but better than never: hereby I proudly announce Malicent as the winner of SOTM #27. It wasn't a checkmate (no, not that guy) as Malicent's entry came out on top with 4 votes out of 13 in total, but it nonetheless led as the remaining 9 votes were spread on the other 7 entries.

Purple Heart! With a sci-fi-esque background that fits really nice with her overall image. Personally, I'm not a big fan of wireframe vectors and C4D-like effects, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate their beauty.

With blurred outer areas and a sharply enhanced epicentre, Malicent managed to bring out the focal point of the overall image in a strong fashion: Purple Heart nicely stands out in contrast with the rest of the signature, thanks in no small part to the faintly glowing yellowish area that she overlays. The placement and composition gives an impression of her forcefully breaking her way through a cage of solid, materialised matrices. That she brandishes her blade at the direction of the viewer solidifies even more the emphasis on her perseverance. Add in the distorted space effect surrounding her and it makes apparent what her silence is saying.

I am Purple Heart. No cage is going to stop me. Back. Down.

Again, congratulations to Malicent!
