GM Week 2025 - Art Competition

Capsuleers!

GM Week is upon us, and this year we’re putting your creativity front and center with an EVE Art Competition!

It’s time to break out your brushes, tablets, and styluses, and create something inspired by New Eden. The best submissions will receive PLEX along with other unique prizes, and who knows, maybe a few honorable mentions will get a surprise PLEX drop.

Your art can be anything EVE related: screenshots, ship illustrations, character designs, scenic pieces, painted miniatures, anything you want as long as it’s never-before-seen original artwork that draws inspiration from New Eden. And no, clicking “Submit” on your favorite AI generator does not count. Any art suspected of being AI generated will be jetcanned into space.

To participate, post an image of your art in this forum thread, and by doing so, your submission will enter the competition!

Here are some general rules:

  • Only 1 submission per player.

  • Artwork that has been publicly posted prior to the competition is not eligible for entry.

  • My fellow GMs and I will vote on the top 10 artworks created

  • The Community (you) will vote which of these 10 artworks deserve to be in the top 3

  • We will not provide specific details on how we judge the art or what we look for, it’s up to you to make the most creative and unique artwork.

  • Please do not create art that violates our Terms of Service (I will be forced to delete it, which I don’t want to do)

  • Submissions close this Sunday (28th Sept) at midnight GMT.

There is a lot to play/create for, so let me show you the prizes up for grabs below:

1st Place:

3000 PLEX

SKINs

  • Sanguinary Savant SKIN x1

  • Vampire’s Hex SKIN x1

OK, not art, but manipulation:

Manipulated by me in photoprocessing software, not AI, before you ask.

So nice of you guys to let us know it was on the way the day the event started. Did you all forget about it until the last minute?

Cool, love these kinds of contests… Sooo, submissions close on Sunday @ midnight GMT, will definitely start working on one…

Just a thought, shouldn’t this thread be posted in the sub-forum, Out-Of-Game Events?

Ok, here’s my submission for the contest… I used in-game character portrait screenshots and GIMP 3 to create it…

I don’t even remember the last time I illustrated something mechanical, so naturally I chose one of the more complicated ships and skins to squeeze in for the deadline! :stuck_out_tongue:

Watercolor, 17 x 26 cm

Hey there Capsuleers!

The submissions for this year’s EVE Art Competition look fantastic! I was not expecting a Triglavian 40K Marine, exceptional work! You’ve all shown once again that creativity in our community knows no bounds. Due to the fewer than expected submissions, we’ve decided to forego the community vote and jump straight to announcing the winners.

In first place… @Arian_Felou with the Kikimora!
In second place… @lIDragonfyreIl with the Zephyr!
And in third place… @oleo_especial with the, definitely not AI, Ibis!

Please EVEMail me from those characters with the chosen SKINs from each line.

Honourable mentions go to the following Capsuleers for their excellent work and will receive some rewards for their effort.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to every artist who shared their talent with us!

Best regards,
GM Chaos

Well, I definitely won’t say I’m surprised…

Grats to @Arian_Felou, @lIDragonfyreIl and @oleo_especial for winning 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the art contest…

Gratz to @Khezu_knight for getting an ‘Honorable Mention’ in the art contest..


@GM_Chaos As for myself, I’m going to politely decline your reward, you can give it to your favorite charity…

DMC out..

:wink: :psyccp: :blush:

Awesome, thanks, I’m thrilled!! :smiley: :yellow_heart: :light_blue_heart: And now that I’ve done this ship, I’m excited to do more!

(teeny tiny note, I should have put it in the text for my entry since it’s definitely a niche ship - it’s a Draugur in the All-Stars Casino Clash SKIN)
