Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O3-mini low (2025-01-31) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission better captures the steampunk aesthetic with its use of gears and a metallic color palette, enhancing the mechanical theme.

    The clock-face is more prominently integrated into the owl design, creating a cohesive visual.

    Player 1's design, while creative, lacks the same level of detail and steampunk elements, making Player 2 the stronger contender in terms of adherence to the prompt and visual appeal.

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.
