3D-Art Contest Winners ~ February 2017

Wow! January was sure a landmark month. A lot going on in the World and here.

On Daz-land, I was most excited with the release of demon/devil girl Anneka. I like her morph, different looking skin, and of course the wings and tail additions in the Pro bundle. Great looking outfits and hairs as well, so picked her up right away. Definitely my favorite of the month.

Fantasy pinup art of a sexy devil demon woman with horns, lava wings, and tail. She has long dark hair with jewels.

Qualifying item used – Anneka Pro Bundle by Daz Originals

I also picked up a couple of cool looking sets by Forbidden Whispers in one of the sales. Mysterious Tomb would be great for Raiders of the Lost Ark and Lara Croft type renders, as well as Egyptian themed fantasy images. Abandoned Factory Floor would be excellent for playing with lights and shadows, with all those interesting windows and catwalks.

Qualifying item used – Tatum Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s) by AprilYSH

1st Place – Chillin’

Artist – Anagord

Qualifying items used - Maia Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s)by AprilYSH

First place in the February 2017 Shiba 3D-Art Contest.

Wonderfully creative composition with superb effects, atmosphere, and pose.

Cool combination of outfits to create something totally new and fabulous. All the pieces fit perfectly, and matches the otherworldly look of the character as well as her black makeup. The unsaturated image palette, together with the mist effects, strike exactly the right ethereal, dreamlike chord that is difficult to capture.

Maia Hair by AprilYSH is cleverly used here to add movement, which is enhanced by her cape and the glowing particles from Ron’s War Essentials.

Brilliant how the somber tones and background ruins contrast with her whimsical pose and image title. An emotionally evocative piece, showcasing both consistency and contrasts in a most masterful way.

2nd Place – At the Beach Cafe

Artist – knaakie

Qualifying items used: - Beach Cafe Construction Kit by ForbiddenWhispers - Beach Cafe Interior Furniture by ForbiddenWhispers

Second place in the February 2017 Shiba 3D-Art Contest.

Wow! Incredibly realistic, with rich details and fantastic camera-work.

Excellent camera angle and framing to bring out the best in ForbiddenWhispers’ Beach Cafe Construction Kit and Beach Cafe Interior Furniture. I can look through the windows to see inside the cafe, but there is also reflection on the glass of the outside characters.

This marvelously realistic environment is accompanied by beautiful skin textures from P3D Leora HD, as well as terrific choice of clothing and clothing textures. All this, together with awesome expressions (on both girl and cat), camera tilt, and crop, makes this into an outstanding work of art.

3rd Place – Battle Geisha

Artist – Plaiades

Qualifying item used: - Thian Hair for Genesis and Genesis 2 Female(s) by AprilYSH and Daz Originals

Third place in the February 2017 Shiba 3D-Art Contest.

A very striking image, wonderfully posed and textured.

The colors are superb and makes the character pop right out of the screen. Vivid pinks contrast well with the her dark hair and gold accessories. Thian Hair is amazingly featured, with a dynamic pose that flows naturally around the character.

Our heroine is boldly magnificent and she stands ready to fight!

3rd Place – Persephone In The Flowers

Artist – dreamfarmer

Qualifying items used: LY Harper by Lyoness Genevieve Ajax Hair by AprilYSH

Third place in the February 2017 Shiba 3D-Art Contest.

A terrific top-down view image, that is rarely attempted because it is so challenging to pose.

LY Harper is splendid and perfect as Persephone, with her flower tattoos and green hair. Indeed, her hair is remarkably posed for a lying down position, which I always have a lot of trouble with, so great respect!

The vibrant red flowers are gorgeous and contrast well with the greens the whites in the image. A beautiful composition with a very captivating character.
