    You can get the actual image link from imgur, rather than the image's page, and then it shows.
    I took the liberty of doing that for you. You can click "edit" on your post to see how it was done.

    Hi Maplers!

    Hope you've leveled up your Kain character and received rewards from Kain's Road to Remembrance event!
    We received stunning (but edgy) art submissions and it's been a sight to see the channel be flooded with Kain's main colors, red and black. We loved going through them but that also means it was a struggle to vote for our winners...
    It was indeed a challenge but we've done it and I'm here to announce our winners and honorary mentions!

    *These are listed in submission order

    Congratulations aerie!
    Loved the overall mood and the clothes/weapon details you've put into Kain and Luska. It depicts their relationship in the story well and we love it!

    Congratulations Alkaru!
    The gray/black and red contrast pops out and definitely caught our attention! Loved the highlight touch on the eyes.. It felt like Kain was staring right through me o-o

    Congratulations Boo!
    Kain is looking cool and love the small details you've put in Kain's Whispershot and his clothes. I like the addition of brighter white/gray in the background, it's a refreshing touch after all that red and black

    Congratulations sgtCicada!
    Wow, what a vibrant red background O.O Kain in all black definitely makes a stunning centerpiece and love the vibe overall. The ink drops, fonts, and everything fits right in together~
