Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission is highly creative and adheres closely to the prompt with a detailed depiction of an octopus actively painting its self-portrait using all eight arms.

    The composition is visually appealing, vibrant, and technically executed with attention to detail and narrative.

    Player 1's image, while clean, lacks complexity and does not fully convey the idea of an octopus painting a self-portrait.

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.
