The award category

Best 3D Art (Still Image - Original Work)
While derivative designs and meticulously recreated models tend to get more exposure and attention (both on SFM and the internet in general), a great deal of admiration and respect is given to artists who seek to develop their own style. This award seeks to highlight the finest original artwork of 2008.

Reminder - All awards are for artwork, WIPs and other content displayed via SFM Galleries and Forums in 2008 only. Only SFM Members are eligible for nomination.

Please read the following thread stickied in the General Discussions forum prior to nominating - http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/g...minations.html

I want to nominate turbinea's 'Storm Is Coming'



this has a level of compositing and post work we don't normally see . . . usually we see single pass renders with limited post work, but here, we see multiple elements come together to make a fantastic atmospheric and moody piece

[Comco]

Wow. Fantastic choice there.

My submission - "Patrol", by Commondor. Love the designs, the lighting, the effects and the environment. Just a great image all-round.

Here is my choice: Lost City, by jfliesenborghs.
I love the concept, the composition, the original design and the foggy effects.

That's 2D art, Orion's Belt. These nominations are for 3D art.

Seeing as we've not received any (valid) new nominations in the last few days, I will now be moving this thread to the 2008 SFM Meshies Nominations sub-forum.

Note - Members are still welcome to add their nominations to this thread until such time as it is locked.
