Still Image Group (3 Winners)
For me this is the best.
The idea is clear, the x is there without being forced, the lights you used are well done and the shadows, wow. The perspective of the illustration is another point to value, for me that's what made me give it all my votes of confidence. You are my winner without a doubt.
All are digital, contain the "X" and are from artists which will make good use of an XP Pen tablet and also post about their win.
I love the limited color palette and excellent balancing of detail in this piece. The eye is drawn in by the great composition, lingers on said details but isn't overwhelmed by clutter. The setting works so well for the concept! It wasn't hard to pick this as a fave.
Video Group (3 Winners)
The animation is very funny, witty and well paced
I love birds haha! This animation was so chaotic but so funny! Little birb dance is so adorable haha!
Animation like old school. It shows that I work a lot on projects.
Flip book art is amazing. The story was straight to the point. I Would love to see what they would do on a tablet!
I like the style and how I combine the elements.
Amazing artwork. The details incorporated to make the water and the leaves look like an X was great!
So clever and cute, swimming through "X"!! I love it! The color palette is so refreshing and the art style is just adorable!
Congratulations to all the winners!
