Oh cool! Thanks GGG for making a fun contest for us - and great drawings, everyone!

I was inspired by enixtm's awesome tilted horizon after the contest was closed, so I did this yesterday.

Thanks for the extra work, enixtm :-P

My top one is enixtm's art. It's not just well drawn, the colours and style all fit into PoE's dark fantasy style. If they ever gonna make a gallery of wallpapers I really hope that this kind of art will fill it instead of childish or mangaish ones.

I also liked the one with the shadow on the beach. It takes me into a fantastic third person view experience on the Twilight Strand. With a few more hours work it could've easily become first winner.

Next time, GGG, please make a longer than 2 weeks Fan-art submission interval. I think the time was too short for many artist to even start on their work. Especially with a one-week race going on :)
People have different opinions regarding what's looking good and what isn't, just because your personal preferance doesn't align with the results of the competition it doesn't mean that the winner was undeserving to win. No one is obliged to abide by your taste or respect your opinion to the point that they let it surpass their own. It's a good thing that you root for whom you like and let them know you appreciate their art, but there is really no need to bash other artists' work in the process. I'm sure they welcome critisism so long as you're able to be constructive instead of condescending. Just keep that in mind.

-edit; I'm not targeting anyone in particular here just speaking in general terms. I think that despite what the artists' has submitted to the competition they are all great for actually participating and sharing their work, now I have my favourite ones but that doesn't diminish the value of the other artists' contributions. Thanks everyone participating and GGG for organizing this, really great stuff.

Also is it artists', artist's or artists? or something else?

Congratulations to the winner!
My personal best is enixtm's witch ^_^

A shame that my entry did not get any feedback of the community (not talking about the judges here). Thinking about my vibrant color scheme, maybe it was a poor choice I made :D


That one is so amazing.. They were all good though. I wish I was better at art lol.. I thought of trying to compete but wouldve been so fail.

Wow so disappointed my entry didnt even get an honourable mention?! 0_0
Spoiler

I thought it was good enough for at least a top 3...

Grats to the winners.


I really liked it as well. The art team had a very tough time picking the ones they preferred - I can't imagine that's an easy task.


Yeah I understand, judging art is a very subjective thing for some.

From what I can tell only Jazzo's entry out of the winners wasnt a digital media entry. Interesting. You should get them to try painting in Oil paint for future reference. ;-)


If anyone wants to buy my painting(it is 8 x 16 inches unframed) you can PM me, I might sell it if the price is right.


oh yea, I think it was just us two, and a few people that did pencil sketches that didn't use digital medium.
Digital is so much more convenient s-s
Congratulations to the winners, they deserved!
It was a joy to participate, hope for more in the future.
Thanks to GGG for the honourable mention.
