Our latest community art contest concluded recently, now we're unveiling the winners! This time the theme was [i][b]Spring Chickens, [/b][/i] featuring the Oviraptor and/or Novaraptor in springtime. There was a range of styles and vibes in the pieces submitted, the community is full of artists so it's always fun to see what you guys come up with! We'll be running more contests later this year, but let's quit stalling and get to the good stuff... [h2][b]Grand Prizes:[/b][/h2] [h3][b]WINNER Third Place:[/b][/h3] (BadPlague) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7077945/92ca6cf6f78565b055e1b8a4017165a803bedc98.jpg[/img] We really like this one, even if the vibe feels more autmnal to us than spring. The quality of the actual drawing and wonderful use of lighting still makes it an excellent piece. [h3][b]WINNER Second Place:[/b][/h3] (Chillonia) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7077945/d0da86ee176ff70e1e03e6392ba8002f11900d40.jpg[/img] A lovely serene scene of two vicious predators just relaxing in the forest. The flowers are bursting with colour and alive with wildlife, really hitting the sprintime theme. [h3][b]WINNER First Place:[/b][/h3] (bullsh*t101) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7077945/c1079a13d196cb7792d27d53d69ed4c1cfbdf860.png[/img] You couldn't get much greener if you tried, but the overall feeling of a jungle in spring is really nice and the red flowers really pop against the sea of greens. The dinosaurs in the scene blend with their surroundings beautifully and the composition is superb, with some actual chicken-sized compys thrown in for good measure - this one has the honour of top prize in the Spring Chickens art contest! [h2][b]Honorable Mentions:[/b][/h2] It's always hard narrowing things down to find the overall winners, here are a few we also really loved but didn't quite make it into the grand prize category... [h3][b](WhatTheShrimp)[/b][/h3] A raptor taking a nice spring stroll through the undergrowth gets a little surprise! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7077945/d29ed605a48f933277d2ba7bb07a6d8195127c33.jpg[/img] [h3][b](Domstrya)[/b][/h3] Novaraptor seems to be after those eggs... which are why we couldn't quite justify this as a winner. While the colours are beautiful, the multi-tone clutch of eggs is just a tad too Easter-y. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7077945/f8047b494090b245e3e436615f09d3dc7b9dfba9.jpg[/img] [h3][b](ShamroknRoll)[/b][/h3] A last minute entry, this one again doesn't quite hit the spring theme, but is a great depiction of a bearded feathered nova. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7077945/950398856064cae43a80cd606b5aeccc1febcc23.jpg[/img] [h3][b](BBQ)[/b][/h3] Chonky birb meets butterfly. Adorable!
