🥉 THIRD PLACE | Kush クシャ
"It was a sincere pleasure to create this artwork over the course of last two weeks. This was sincerely a very fun and interesting challenge and I loved to participate it with a 2D matte painting touch (much of the experience from painting anime scenes as a BG designer back 5 years ago !) I went for an unconventional vertical look to add more depth to the scene and put more emphasis on the world as I saw it in my head."
