I think it is wonderful piece of art. Finely crafted, uniquely made. I love how the colour and texture expresses the emotions that the artist is trying to show. The light above shows how the Hero will always rise at some point and cleanse the darkness, it is very interesting. At the same time, the part of Yakitrak is hidden implying hidden dangers from the destiny of this Hero are yet to be revealed. The smile on Minato's face provides us with the knowledge that what ever happens, the Hero must be strong and embrace it with a smile.
All in all I am saying that this art is breath takingly spectacular and deserves a prize. Who ever is receiving this beauty is a truly lucky man.
