Personally, when it comes to love, I enjoy darker, grittier themes that really ache one's soul and beget questions of reasoning only substantiated through feelings of fulfillment from something or someone else.
But there's a real pleasant experience to be had seeing couples enjoying themselves. So many damn cute couples were drawn, and here are my favorite:
4th Place is rewarded to the Best Couple. The main theme from couples was that one mate completed the other, so it became rare to see the initial flabbergasted feeling we get interacting with our first loves. This unique conceptualization of a kiss between a couple with their feet in water brings about the anxious feeling we get from head-over-heels romance into serious realization.
4th Place: First crush by @SetiSpaghetti
Categorizing love as loss isn't a new concept by any means, but it definitely hits a certain nail on the head when done properly. The feeling that love is incomplete, something awaiting in the future, or something awful, can be much stronger of a feeling than actual, completed love. Favorites:
The concept that Love Is Hard sits in 3rd place, because many of our hardships that we go through are for something or someone that we love. Emotional impact is important when conceptualizing "love", and sometimes the everlasting effect on our psyche can effectively change who we are as people... and that's deep
3rd Place: Philophobia by @Canibores
So, what *is* love?
That was the main, prompted question for this contest. I've found a few of my favorites that apply a sort of definition to it:
Straight-Forward Love is the easiest describing factor for conceptualizing love. Not everything to do with love is messy, abhorrent, or dejected. Sometimes it's the easier, cozier feelings associated with love that make it inspiring. This comic does well to apply logic and reasoning onto something that normally has our minds lost in outer space. Very inspiring.
2nd Place: But What Does It Compare To? by @smallsausage
The 2nd panel is broken in the Portal upload, but the thread version is fine.
read the rest in the thread post.
So, here we are; the final stop on the Concept of Love.
Where do we go from here? Conceptualizing love is a difficult task, but a lot of entries did very well.
Here are my top favorites:
The Concept of Love as visualized by you, the artist. There are so many ways to approach this subject, and this approach had the strongest emotion.
1st Place: I Guess This Is Love by @bich0cerote
The mixture between an abstract smiling fruit-for-a-head character combined with comically large tears while staring at a impersonal floating hand holding your heart is an all-for-one excellent summarization for what the concept of love is. Fruit-Head itself is a contrasting yellow-hued color adorning a smile atop a depressing shade of purple body--a contradicting appearance immediately visible. Due to the nature of the composition (and the cartoony amount of tears) there's little to indicate what is causing this interaction, and whether or not it's actually a positive or negative moment. Having your heart torn out can be as graceful as martyrdom, or as miserable as mindless torture, and this animated drawing tips the scales on both sides.
Pro tip: All my "favorites" are organized runner-ups, meaning if 1st place didn't enter, then the top-most on my list of favorites would have won instead, and so on.
I'll be sending PMs to everyone that won for their information so I can dish out the rewards!
A Big Thank You To All The Concept Of Love Entrants!

Wow! Thank you to everyone that participated!
I apologize, but I am going to need more time to judge the entries. In the meantime, the Secret Santa Brigade and myself will be working on making a thread with everyone's entries.
You may be asking, "why?" but it's to stall for ti--I mean, to ask the community to vote on their favorite entries via reactions!
Entries will be posted based on how many reactions they received initially in the submission thread. The drawing with the most reactions in the newly created thread will win first prize (granted it's not a forgery) and then the other places will be left up to my discretion.
So, good luck everyone! Expect the thread either tonight or tomorrow, and I wish everyone best of luck! ^^
