Napoleon Bonaparte once said "Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours," or "A good sketch is better than a long speech". We tend to agree with him, great ideas do come from great artwork and the creative minds of concept artists who dream up many of the characters and scenes we face in games today. And that is why we want you to show us why a picture is worth a thousand words in our Concept Art Competition.
Mod DB, The Art Institute Online and Alienware challenges you to bring forth your single most striking, awe inspiring and breathtaking original game art. Bring us your best work... the rendering you are most proud of... the one you show to anyone you want to consider you as a "game artist"... the one you would like the world to see.
That's right, after a few weeks of community voting and AiO judging the best entries (it wasn't easy believe me), the winners have been decided and are now on show. Big thanks to everyone who participated, we were simply overwhelmed by the amazing quality of the artwork, and plan on running another similar contest in the not too distant future.

After a month of sketching, drawing, painting, brainstorming, thinking and arguing, 57 pieces of candy, "eye candy" that is, have been submitted and are now available for your viewing / voting pleasure.
There are some amazing artists on this site, so do yourself a favor and browse the art. Here is a quick taste which will leave you wanting more (my stick figure entry was sadly denied):
Thanks also goes out to the competition sponsors, Art Institute Online and Alienware who provided the awesome prizes up for grabs.

Congrats to all the participants, We couldn't live without your invaluable expertise and talent.
Congrat for all the winners. And for all the entries, you all rock!!!
Congratulations on the winners. :) Even if I didn't win it was still an awesome competition and I learned a lot from working on that piece!
Agreeing with the others that it would've been the icing on the cake to get some constructive criticism from the judges, or even other participants now that the contest is over.
Congratulation to those who won and a big, good on you guys, for entering in the first place to those who didn't get any prizes... well done..
Congratulations :)
