Core ARC Contest: Final Entries!
Posted by Karen
Hey everyone! It’s been a long time coming, but this is it, the final batch of entries. Thanks so much to everyone who entered the Core ARC Contest. We’ve been blown away by how much time, effort, and creativity everyone put into their submissions. Seriously. You guys rock.
This one comes to us from Emma Hedges:
…Arlen and Jadir falling from the cliff after the spear of Kaji.
There are some scenes that are really hard to portray in certain mediums. This is one of them. That being said, Emma somehow managed to catch the epicness in these pics. The scale and angles and placement are used so cleverly. It really takes into account the scale of the scene while also making it cinematic… this was not easy, but I think Emma pulled it off big time. Really awesome job.
Next up is from Justin Scott. This submission is entitled Tomb Of Kaji:
…the main turning point of the humans’ struggle against the demons. When Arlen finds Kaji’s tomb and the combat wards.
This is so cool. I really dig the lighting going on here. Plus the spear of Kaji is on point.
Amberly Smith sent in this Veggie Tales/Demon Cycle crossover diorama…. honestly, this might be the one that surprised me most:
If someone asked me what fans were going to do for the Demon Cycle, I would never have guessed this one. absolutely in love with it.
Ben Mills sent in this moving digital diorama. Click on the picture to see it come to life right before your eyes!
I wanted to capture the first battle Jardir, Ineverah and Leesha had with the Mind and Mimic Demon. Showing how Jardir thought he was fighting the alagai prince, but was in fact only fighting his guard.
This is so awesome!! The picture is cool enough, but the fact that Ben took time to animate definitely puts it a step above (seriously, click it to watch it move, it’s amazing). What a fantastic entry!!
Aaaand, that’s it! All that’s left is for Peat to choose the winners. He’s spend the last week going through them again and again and I think the choices are close to being locked in. We should have them posted very soon, so keep your eyes out for it!
Also, you should totally head over to the Diorama Facebook Album. All the entries are so frikken’ cool and we couldn’t be happier by the response this contest turned out. It’s like I always say– Demon Cycle fans are the Best fans.
