[DC] The Devil Will Do It

God damn. Teaching is so hard. It's exhausting, confusing, and yet so fulfilling. Sorry for being almost 2 months late with announcing the winners to my 1000 follower contest. Without further ado, here they are!

 

1st Place Winner: Andrew Cookston - "You're the closest thing to family I've got."

 

Andrew's gorgeous entry sold me the moment I looked at it. Billy Batson's nighttime visits to Tawky Tawny were one of my favorite things about his New 52 origin story and Andrew did a fantastic job at conveying the quiet solace of this memorable comic book moment. I wish that the lighting had been more dramatic and the angle a little closer but I'm nitpicking. :)

 

2nd Place: BrickTailor

 

While I haven't read anything from Red Son before (drag me), BrickTailor created a really page-accurate scene with a very thoughtful build layout and excellent lighting. The figs he created for the shot are really cleverly made, and whatever technique he used to suspend Superman in that position seems flawlessly implemented. Great job Scott!

 

3rd Place: Metarix - "The Perfect Earth Doesn't Need a Superman"

 

Metarix's shot is instantly recognizable and very neatly composed. The build is simple and small, but it fits the intimacy of the scene from Infinite Crisis. The choice of Rebirth WW as a figure is a little strange and the lighting could have been more dramatic, but it's still an excellent shot.

 

 

Honorable mentions: Ben Cossy's Savage Lands and Mysterio entries! Holy cow Ben, you have serious skill in landscape build techniques! I'd love to see more comic book scenes from you in the future, if that's your thing of course.

 

Winners - congratulations! Feel free to PM me your info so that I can send out prizes. 1st place gets my PCB Arachnid Hero, while 2nd and 3rd place get Mighty Micros sets of their choices (you could also postpone this until new ones come out, up to you).

 

Oh, and here's a neat little Doomsday whose face doesn't look like a Loony Tunes character.
