Hello Stalkers!
The moment has finally arrived! Weeks of anticipation and your hard work have finally brought the harvest! Today, the winners of our art competition will be announced!
We admit that we were a bit apprehensive at the beginning. The entries did not come in as wide a stream as we had imagined. Also, some of them deviated from the established rules (what were those screenshots doing there?). But the closer we got to the deadline, the better images we received from you. In the end, we received a solid batch of works, from which we managed to select the final 10. It was a challenge for us, because each of these works charmed us in its own way.
D.E.S.T.R.O.Y.E.R.
Here you can see the huge amount of work that went into creating this image and the inspiration behind our concept material. The character has everything he or she needs: a name, his or her own historical background and is depicted in various costumes, along with the smallest details described. Heck, we even get to know the musical themes that fit this character! Hats off to you. An excellent job.
SIEGE (облога)
The character's name is Natalya. The traditional long coat in moro, glans and dreadlocks on her head perfectly match the look of a real stalker with Ukrainian roots. We appreciate the attention to detail of her silhouette and the look of her face.
FDE
Two pluses. The first for the richly detailed portrait drawn in pencil (that hair!). The second for the background and the clear definition of the character's purpose in the game itself. You can see that this is not a job done in three days.
Csenge Bíró
There is something charming about this image. Here we see a character created by Csenge (maybe even a self-portrait?) alongside Olivier. Extra points for the level of detail, including what is in the background.
Michael648
An interesting approach to the task. We're familiar with the stories of people who treated sneaking into the Zone and taking out fangs from there as a high school adventure. Therefore, we are all the more able to imagine that not every stalker has to wear a moro coat. One tip for the future: a bigger frame :P
Jarosław T. (MRAFpl)
An interesting concept. Partly cosplay, partly the product of a computer program. We ourselves have sometimes used such a method to help ourselves a little during the creation of concept graphics (this means that one of us had to dress up). Here, too, this method worked.
Dante
Making a cosplay is one thing. But to make a cosplay, throw in a cut-out silhouette against a screenshot from the game (or rather one of our graphics ;) and create a dialogue frame almost identical to the one from Chernobylite - that's a whole other, higher level.
Sigaev Taras
Sigaev tattooed himself with the figure of a stalker gawping at us from above the Devil's Mill in Pripyat and took a photo with this tattoo against the backdrop of the real Devil's Mill in Pripyat. That's called dedication to the cause.
Mico
A stalker in a mask dragging an oxygen bottle behind him was one of the funnier ideas we've seen. At least that's what we thought at first. Then we started to think that maybe it wasn't such a silly idea. While others walk around in just masks with filters, we came across one who thinks otherwise. Brave? Silly?
Koppany Szabo
The simplest and most old-school look. Reminds a bit of those who came to the power station after the explosion to investigate what happened and secure the place.
And that's it! As you can see, everyone had a different method, different skills and tools. But they managed it all the same and delivered some really cool images.
Congratulations to all the winners! Expect a message from us 🙂
Let us know in the comments which of those works you like!
That's it for today!
Take care, Stalkers!
