The first round of the ConceptArt.Org Last 2 Standing: "Beauty and Nightmares" has come to a the finish line. There were some great works created.
Artists collaborated on creating a diptych (two panels), and deeper friendships were made along the way. Skills were shared, unified in collaboration,
and the goal of creating a pair of images that nailed the topic was met.
Then it was for three industry leaders to review it all.
The Who:
Stephan Martiniere is the art director for id software and has worked on some of the most imaginative films and games in the entertainment business.
Stephan is a visionary world designer, concept artist, and creative leader. http://www.martiniere.com/

and he is a master imaginative illustrator with oils and digital paint tools. http://www.toddlockwood.com/
