Beyond Human: Award Winners and Honourable Mentions
ArtStation’s third Community Challenge, Beyond Human, launched over three months ago with more industry-based challenge hosts and the very popular option for production category entrants to base their submissions on viz dev categories. Like all of our community challenges, the submission process was entirely open, and the quality of entries has never been higher for a community challenge. 3,557 artists took up the challenge with some artists putting in hundreds of hours into their submissions, and showing great community spirit with their feedback and encouragement.
A dedicated all-star judging panel took on the difficult task to sort through the very strong entries in all categories. Huge thanks to Philip Straub (Director of Art, Warner Bros.), Levi Hopkins (Freelance Concept Artist), Ravi Bansal (Global Head of Art, MPC Film), Josh Herman (Character Art Director, Cloud Imperium Games), Brian Sum (Senior Concept Artist, BioWare) and Anna Fehr (Concept Artist, Avalanche Studios). The winners each receive a complete virtual ArtStation Challenge trophy, designed with meticulous attention to detail by industrial designer Ivan Šantić (check out the process of designing the Awards).
We’d also like to recognise the challenge hosts for their dedication to helping entrants every day of the challenge with feedback and encouragement. Thank you to: Andrew Bosley (Freelance), Suzanne Helmigh (Freelance), Randall Mackey (Freelance), Satoshi Arakawa (Amazon Games), Baj Singh (The Creative Assembly), Mathew O’Halloran (Ubisoft Massive), Karen Stanley (Ubisoft Massive), Frankie DeRosa (Blur) and Tiberius Viris (Sony Pictures Imageworks).
We’re very pleased to present to you the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each of the categories along with the Honourable Mentions. 56 amazing artists received awards in the Beyond Human challenge!
