2nd EsportFire Artwork Contest - CS:GO Artwork Creators

All entrances of the second EsportFire Artwork contest

Topic: 2nd EsportFire Artwork Contest - CS:GO Artwork Creators

Welcome to the second EsportFire Artwork Contest! First of all a short introduction for all of you who're not familiar with our Artwork Contests. The CS:GO scene has a big community of amazing artists who showcase skins and crafts in their own, unique way.

In order to support and bring together the CS:GO artwork community, we decided to start a little series where every artist gets the chance to showcase their specific style for a certain topic. Below we will present you all entrances and link you the artists under the artwork, feel free to reach out to any of them to get an artwork for yourself!

General explanation

Before we get into showcasing the artworks themselves we wanna give you some general information on how the decision process works and what's on the line when it comes to prizes for the winner and second place. While the first EsportFire Artwork Contest was fully dependent on the community, who had the chance to vote for their favorite artist by liking the entrance on Twitter, we introduced an Expert Panel this time.

Th Expert Panel consists of two artwork specialists (@enjoytehride & @PizzzaBot as well as two community members (@ExerpasCSGO & @jAlexCSGO). Each of the members rates every artwork from 1-10, while the community still builds the second part of the rating. Every 10 likes on the Twitter post also brings 1 point for the final rating. Logically the panel voted before the community in order to not affect the final result afterward.

The prize pool for the second EsportFire Artwork Contest sums up to a total of around USD 73! A huge thanks goes out to @dushfack who provided the Cologne 2014 London Conspiracy (Holo) in order to support the artwork scene, which will be the price for the winner of the contest. The runner-up gets four Cologne 2014 HellRaisers Papers! Let's see if we might get some amazing crafts out of those!

#4 - westp00l (10.8 Points)

A scene that could be part of a well-made horror movie easily. The main part of the artwork is the Famas which is getting held by a zombie woman who got eyes all over her body. The background and overall color combination looks perfect, making an overall amazing submission by @westp00l.

Expert Panel - enjoytehride

Before we end today's article we want to showcase you two more artworks that got submitted by two members of our Expert Panel! Thus they submitted artworks but didn't compete in the contest themselves.
