3D-Art Contest Winners ~ June 2017

In May, Orestes Graphics released some awesome HDRIs and environments. I am always on the lookout for cool looking skydomes (Iray HDRIs) so I picked up Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes Vol 1 – Eventide right away. Orestes Graphics + sunset skies = too tempting not to buy. The volcano environment also looks super interesting, but I am going to wait for a better sale on that one.

Another May highlight for me was the multiple stacking sale at Pixeluna’s store. I love her unique characters and awesome body-art, so I took this opportunity to buy up several of my wishlist items; including Pix Blaze and Pix – Synx. Looking forward to doing a cyborg image.

And talking about cool characters, there was also a nice sale at RawArt’s store. I love all of his beasties, which are superbly unique and always adds that extra oomph to any fantasy image. So many fantastic items, so little time. 🙂

Beautiful white-haired woman in embrace of a stone beast. Love and opposites attract fantasy art.

1st Place – Rise

Artist – Lehira

Qualyfing item used:Cosmic Synx Outfit for Genesis 3 Female(s) by Pixeluna.

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

A totally captivating pose and scene.

Who is she? Is she the control system for the ship? Is she waking up for the first time or simply regenerating? We are drawn in right away, by her beauty and vulnerability.

Great use of Pixeluna’s Cosmic Synx Outfit to create an AI character, as well as emphasize her spine-line. The white walls with black accents, her fetal position, as well as hair and garment free body, gives a powerful image of rebirth. Her skin is terrific, as are the lighting and others materials, creating a wonderful realism.

Fabulously compelling image that leaves us wanting to know more.

2nd Place – Only a Human

Artist – MarcosDK

Qualifying items used: - Cynagtala for V4 by Pixeluna - PS-Lavinia for V4 by Pixeluna - PS-Lavinia-2813 Expansion Set for V4 by Pixeluna

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

Another amazing sci-fi piece with emotional complexity and excellent story-telling.

The cyborg heroine has a fantastic expressive face. She seems tired and sad of all the fighting and killing. The mech, unconscious man, and blood on the wall are all superb details. They add marvelous story details without detracting from our heroine in the foreground.

Awesome feature of three Pixeluna products – PS-Lavinia for V4, Cynagtala for V4, and PS-Lavinia-2813 Expansion Set. For those who use G3F, Pix – Synx is her modern-day equivalent.

I also love the saturated colors and light accents. Incredible character, style, and composition.

3rd Place – Bang Bang Girl 17

Artist – LaMuserie

Qualifying items used: PS-Lavinia-2813 Expansion Set for V4 PS-Lavinia for V4

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

PS-Lavinia makes another appearance here, looking absolutely fantabulous!

Totally love the hair and outfit. I especially like the emissive tube around her hand and arm, as well as the dots on her neck.

Another outstanding feature of the image is the high detail terrain, with wonderful depth of field. The buildings in the distance and the spaceships flying in formation are brilliant touches to an already terrific composition.

All paws up!

3rd Place – Star

Artist – Budo-san

Qualifying items used: Pix - Synx for Genesis 3 Female - Cosmic Synx Outfit for Genesis 3 Female(s) by Pixeluna

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

Incredible character, outfit combination, and effects!

Fabulous use of Pixeluna’s Cosmic Synx Outfit. It works superbly with Tau Ceti Overseer and I love how you moved the spokes on the helmet onto her back. That makes it look more like wings and it frames the character very well, melding into the great sparkle effects.

Pix – Synx looks marvelously muscular here, with an amazing pose and excellent skin. Awesome feature of the versatility of Pixeluna’s outfits and characters.
