Art Contest WINNERS!!
For those of you seeing this game for the first time, it's 100% FREE and super-fun! We've crammed all the charm we could manage into the music and animations, we even created our own rudimentary drawing program inside the game's Main Menu which was the focus of this event.
Here's all 5 winners for the #NEARDEADline art contest in order, their prizes have been sent out already, but we wanted to highlighted these super-special entries! We tasked out players to create an art piece using the in-game drawing tools and limited color palette within the game's Main Menu and this is the Top 5.
This one was a unanimous choice between us, it's original, it uses the limited palette for a great combination of colors, it has a nice perspective, and it has that canvas art feel that makes it really appealing to look at.
An amazing monochromatic composition of a city drowned in clouds, this one won a lot of points for originality, exelect use of white space I might add.
We really like this one because of how many adorable creatures are jammed in this composition, it looks as though they're gathering to take a picture, it just looks fun to be there.
We love the concept that someone used Bob Ross' tutorial to draw this on the program, what it loses in originality it gains back in execution with the landscape.
We had some other really nice entries so be sure to check out the hashtag on Twitter and Follow these Individual artists. If they can do this well with our limited tool, they must be incredible with their preferred one!
