The Outrageous Championship Winners!

We name the names of those who drew the Comic Vine staff...

  

Apologies for the delay, my earnest Comic Vine maniacs. We were hoping to pick the winners for the Outrageous “Draw Comic Vine’s Staff” Championship before NYCC, but the con prep proved too crazy to allow for that. To summarize what I just said above (and to communicate the message to those who might not have video access) we are all tremendously impressed by the level of talent exhibited in the contest entries; so much so that we've already got another contest cooking.  Before we get to business, I want to thank the Gnomon Workshop again for generously supplying us with these sexy high-end DVDs. Even if you didn't win today, you'd all do well to go check out their catalog of instructional art DVDs.  

Without further ado, here are the official winners. Please DM me your mailing addresses so we can get the prizes along!  == TEASER ==

No Caption Provided

THE GRAND PRIZE winner is KrHunt.  He gets the entire DYNAMIC FIGURE DRAWING DVD set by David Finch including The Head, the Body and the Hands & Feet.

 
 
 
  
 
No Caption Provided
THE FIRST RUNNER UP is mjc1403.  He gets COMIC BOOK COLORING WITH STEVE FIRCHOW.
 
 
 
 
 
  

  
No Caption Provided
THE SECOND RUNNER-UP is Artistic Needham. He gets COMIC BOOK ILLUSTRATION: PIN-UPS & COVERS WITH PHIL NOTO.
 
 
 
  
  

   
  
A very special commendation to om1kron, who selflessly waived prizes. 
 
 
 
 

   

And then special nods and commendations to all the maniacs who participated:  FoxxFireArt, TheFallen11, Senorsausage, Tonis, CATMANEXE,  EGoD, sora_thekey, miracleman3 and Decept-O. You can see all their art collected here. Thanks again for participating. Watch for our next contest coming soon!

Tom Pinchuk’s the writer of  HYBRID BASTARDS!  &  UNIMAGINABLE . Order them on Amazon here &     here .

@J1ml33: 

I don't run the contests.  That would be up to the Staff at Comic Vine.  I am under the assumption Tom Pinchuk and Inferiorego will be the ones to conduct them in the near future.   
  
I am simply excited that artists are having a chance to show their skills on this site.  I think its great, and am enthusiastic about it all!

Amazing work, you guys. I knew that Comic Vine had some talented artists, but I had no idea it was at this level.

I completely agree with that grand prize winner. That was really well done.

I actually wasn't even trying to win this. I drew that sketch on the outside of an envelope I was mailing to the Whiskey Media offices the night before I even heard about this contest. I mailed the envelope, but I don't know it if ever arrived. I really hope it didn't get lost in the mail.
 
One tip book I got for comic coloring that I really loved. It's called "How to Color for Comics" by Guru-eFX. It has a lot of good tips for all kinds of coloring styles. It also has a CD in the pages with some professional artist's line work that you can practice on.

Congrats to everyone who won and didn't. All the work on this one was nothing 
short of amazing, and the real victory was getting to see it all. I mean that.

 Strange, I've been referred to as that a few times this week? Must be be my imagination.

Congratulations to you all! I will be subjective here and elect my favourite drawing but all of them were special, it's just that you cannot compare them since the artwork is different at all of them. However, to say which one was my favorite it would be Artistic Needham, that cryptic tone and emphasized dark layers I can't help but fall for.
