Lightbox Expo Box of Mystery Award Winners and Honourable Mentions
ArtStation has been excited to partner with Lightbox Expo to launch the first Lightbox challenge! The theme of the Lightbox Expo Challenge was Box of Mystery where we challenged artists to imagine mysterious and fantastic worlds, characters and situations. The response was amazing, with almost 6,000 artists joining the challenge. Entries were submitted in Keyframe Design, Character Design, Environment Design, Prop Design and a new 2D Animation category.
“Wow!! I’m absolutely blown away by the entries for this challenge. I don’t know what must have been harder, to create these amazing entries or to pick a winner… They all look like winners!”
Bobby Chiu, Co-Founder Lightbox Expo
