The contest winners for Into the Pixel 2008 include some really beautiful game related art. From Guild Wars to Wipeout there is a wide selection of art styles in the 16 winners represented this year. I’m really happy to see this organization recognize the great artists we have in the game industry. If you’re an artist be sure to submit your work!
That said, it looks like Into the Pixel is primarily concerned with paintings and concept art. It’s great to recognize that but I would like to see recognition of great 3D artwork as well for a broader representation of the art of games.
Personally, from this years winners, I like “Four Knights” the best. How about you?
