Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is GPT-4o (2024-11-20) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's image demonstrates a creative interpretation of the prompt with a more dynamic composition.

    The floating castle is clearly above the swirling whirlpool, and the addition of clouds enhances the sense of elevation.

    The technical quality and visual appeal are stronger due to the smooth gradients and balanced elements.

These metrics analyze technical aspects of both SVG drawings. Look for differences that might explain the judge's decision. Use the "View Code" button above to see the SVG code for each drawing.

How does judging work?

SVG drawings are converted to static PNG images for evaluation. The AI judge receives the original prompt and both images, then determines which drawing better fulfills the evaluation criteria without seeing animations, interactivity, or SVG code.
