JANUARY ART COMP - RESULTS THREAD

[CrazyFoxMachine]

THIRD PLACE - ANDY LAMBERT


SECOND PLACE - STEVEN AUSTIN


FIRST PLACE - SKD


It was an astonishing month - and even with the 2 additional votes, and the extraordinary number of incredible entries - the three above were way ahead from the start!

Thanks everyone for a truly memorable start to 2015! Remember you can find out about those behind the pictures and more over on the comp Facebook page --> https://www.facebook.com/2000adartcomp

THARG'S CHOICE goes to Mr Long the Artist's "Even Death Can Dream"....



and our DROID'S CHOICE is from Caballastics king and master of the macabre Dom Reardon who is still musing over our remarkable glut of entries. Those who voted know how difficult it is to choose from January's avalanche - so his delay is entirely understandable and his choices will be added to this thread as soon as his head stops spinning!

Well done SKD, deservedly worth the nod this month.
And Mr CFM, kudos as always.

[Andy Lambert]

3rd Place - very happy with that given it was my first entry! Thank you so much for voting!
Well done to the winners - well deserved! And of course well done to everyone who took part too - incredible collection of artwork!

[MrLongTheArtist]

Wow! Thargs choice, I'm honoured. I'm another first time particpant so I was chuffed to even just to get a few votes. Thank you.

Where's this cake...? I'm sticking the kettle on.

[Colin YNWA]

To place in a competition of that standard is impress to win even more so so massive congratulations to all and particularly SKD.

Congrtulations to CFM as well for getting the comp into such rude health that it was so tough!

[ZenArcade]

Crikey, now thatbwas a competition. Congratulations to the winner SKD and indeed to all the squaxx who put their hard work and imagination to the test. This has been a wonderful exhibition of talent and long may it last. As ever top marks to CFM for his efforts in hosting and arbitration. Z

[TordelBack]

Give us 4th and 5th places as well there CFM!  Great winners, but none in my own top 5, which just goes to show what a field it was.  Well done all, and thanks to Owen for Big Jobs on the numbers.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Very well - only fair since y'all voted for five!

FIFTH PLACE - NEIL McCLEMENTS


FOURTH PLACE - JAMES DILWORTH


Also - Mr Dom Reardon has made his picks....

It's been great looking through all these pics, you might be interested to hear that I was in the studio with Jock last week and we spent a while looking through the entries.

So-

1. Fiona Boniwell - Nausia.

This one is very much to my taste, really striking, great design, nicely drawn, lots of energy, there is nothing for me not to like about this.

2. Neil McClements - Fear.
Great style and I love the penmanship of this, very cool indeed.

3. Steve Austin - Dark Judges.
Super slick, I could easily imagine this in the pages of the prog.

4. Andy Lambert - Dark Judges.
Another very pro looking image, nicely rendered, nice lighting, really great.

5. MrLongTheArtist - Even Death Can Dream.
I really like the way the style goes with the concept here, dark yet charming. Great idea, lovely style.

There were so many that I liked!

[SKD]

Wow! Cheers all. 

A great topic picked by Neil, it certainly brought out the best in everyone and enticed a whole new group of artistic talent out onto the Forum. This has been the first time that I've won the vote since I started entering the art comp in 2011, so a big thank you to all those who took the time to vote, you've made an old litter picker very happy.

And as always, thanks go to the Crazy Fox, who keeps this visual treat going month after month. There will be cake...

All the best. Stew. (SKD)
