To start off with, i want to thank everyone who participated. it is so great to see Nyx brought to life, and every piece is amazing. I started this little contest not really sure if people would be interested, but I'm glad you were. We had more entries than I was expecting, and I appreciate all your hard work.
Now... the rankings. God damn was this hard to decide. Each are so good in their own way that it was almost impossible to put one above another. But this was a competition and i had to decide. (this by no means any one piece is objectively better than another. And i have shifted the order more than a few times now.)
First place goes to Laz:
