lynch. Portrait Contest Results

The members of lynch. have chosen the winners for the portrait contest JaME held. Instead of choosing three winners as originally, they changed their mind and have added another prize and chose four winners! Each winner received a uniquely autographed poster of the band. Congratulations to the winners: Riyen R. from Poland, Chantal Wagener from Germany, Tikva Amilmandovna from Russia and Marina Kozlova from Germany.

All the entries from the contest can be viewed in the weblog.

After enjoying all the submissions, the members of lynch. commented on the winning portraits. We also asked the winners for a their reaction.


Chantal Wagener

Yusuke: It feels very real so I like it a lot. I actually thought it was a photograph. It's cool!

Chantal: Well, I'm speechless! (laughs) I really have to say that I haven't thought until now that I've a big chance to win this contest! My heart is beating so fast at this moment and yeah. I'm the happiest lynch. fan on earth now! (The fact that they are one of my top favorite bands makes the whole thing more exciting than it already is).

To the portrait itself; it was hard to choose one of the members. When I decided to draw Yusuke, I was thinking about a picture, which shows more or less just his face. Then I thought there should be really dark shadings and well. As you can see, I drew this one! It was just a try to win with this one, but like I've already said.. I didn't think to get a real chance. Thanks so much again!


Barbara Lasko

Hazuki: I fell in love with this immediately. It's so good.

Barbara: This is my first time when I won in drawing competition. It's a big surprise for me and I got very motivated for further drawing. Thanks, lynch.!


Tikva Amilmandovna

Reo: I'm very happy that it's drawn with such care. I think this work catches the character well, and has a good feeling about it.

Tikva: Oh! I don't even know what to say! I didn't expect it at all so I'm really shocked! Thank you so much!


Marina Kozlova

Asanao: It is not so much just a drawn picture of members' faces, but a drawing that captures their features very well.

Marina: I was very surprised that I'm one of the winners and I was very glad about it. During the drawing I heard the music, therefore, I wanted to show not only the band, but also visualize the music.


JaME would like to thank all the participants and lynch. for making this contest possible.
