Challenge Complete!

GigaChads aren't made from clay - they're forged in the fires of unyielding judgment. Evaluating the Scrimshaw Design Challenge meant weighing hues of history against the hammer of creative freedom. Entrants had to elegantly extend the soul of vintage scrimshaw into modernized art, balancing aesthetic grace and thematic fidelity. Designs were scrutinized for how seamlessly they twirled into humor, shoved wit from bluff to brilliance, and sharpened theme articulation to a fine point.
