Hello everyone!
It's the moment you've been waiting for - the results of the fan art competition are in!
Just before we announce the winners, a HUGE thank you to everyone that entered the competition. We hope you all enjoyed taking part, and we both genuinely found it incredibly difficult choosing the winners - despite there being only 6 entries. There was a very high standard of entries, not only in terms of art ability, but also in terms of imagination and creativity. Put it this way - we sat down for 45 minutes to debate who the winners would be - it was not an easy task!
And so the winners are...
Without further ado, here are the winners, with links to their art, and our reasoning behind the decisions further below:
1st place: VulpusAlbus - SiS Cartoon
2nd place: BenWolfers - Shrouded in Beach
3rd place: Toanterror - Shrouded in Sanity
1st place - VulpusAlbus - Shrouded in Sanity Cartoon
We absolutely loved the creativity in this one! It was a very different kind of submission to the others, which made it stand out - perhaps in a way we were not expecting, which made it all the more appealing. The plasticene style won us over, and made us smile in delight! You can tell Vulpus put in a lot of effort and played to their strengths, resulting in a really unique and creative bit of work. Well done!
2nd place - BenWolfers - Shrouded in Beach

A really fun take on SiS - what's not to love?! Saragat, wide-eyed in swimwear, whilst in the background what we can only presume to be one-half of the "love couple" from the manor is being chased by a maid. Fantastic! It also has more neat references - the revolver, and the pocketwatch to name just two. All in all, a lot of fun - and it made us smile a heck of a lot! Well done!
3rd place - Toanterror - Shrouded in Sanity
What can we say? Beautiful. Yeah. That about sums this one up! Seriously gorgeous artwork. It conjures up the story well; blood on the blade, the death screen via the pocketwatch, and then there's the whole beckoning glyph. The attention to detail, and sheer time it must've taken to create this makes this a really solid 3rd place. A really lovely bit of art that is worthy of being cover art. Once again, beautiful! Well done!
To All Entrants
Once again, huge congratulations to the winners, but also a really hearty pat on the back to all those that entered. You all showed a lot of effort and made us both smile with joy at your fan art. We hope you all enjoyed taking part, and really hope none of you leave feeling disheartened. Please feel free to upload your fan art onto the artwork section of Shrouded in Sanity on Steam!
IMPORTANT
To all entrants, Steve or Jam will be sending your prizes via PM either on Steam or Discord, so please make sure you have enabled communication/direct messaging if you haven't already. We will also take your details of the gravestone or pet reward this way.
Prizes will be distributed either later today or whenever we get a private venue to exchange them.
Don't forget, everyone that took part gets a key to the SiS OST, whether you won or not!
Closing words
We really hope you enjoyed that competition - we certainly did - even if judging was difficult!
For those that still want to send in fan art, please do so! We absolutely squeel in delight at seeing it.
You can either upload fan art to the artwork tabs on either game on Steam, or even post it in our Discord server. As a rule of thumb, Steve and Jam are usually on there from 10am - 10pm GMT/UTC+1 every day - so drop in and say hi!
And that's a wrap - see ya next time!
