Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is GPT-4.1 (2025-04-14) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission is more creative and visually appealing, with expressive details like the monocle's chain, the cactus's lively pose, and the inclusion of additional desert elements like a small plant and teapot.

    The technical execution is polished, and the composition feels dynamic and engaging.

    Player 2's image is simpler and less detailed, with a static pose and a less immersive desert setting.

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.
