Man, it’s times like these when I wish I didn’t completely suck at art.
If, unlike me, you do not suck at art, check this out. CD Projekt RED and Dark Horse Comics have kicked off a contest in anticipation of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt searching for the top Witcher fan artists from around the world. It doesn’t matter if it’s a digital work, drawing, painting, sculpture or some other form of artwork, just create something that expresses your artistic vision of The Witcher universe and submit a picture of the completed piece through Facebook or the official contest website by May 27th.
After the deadline expires and all submissions have been considered, Dark Horse will select the top three winners while CD Projekt RED will pick the grand prize winner. The top artist will score a sweet collection of The Witcher goodies (see image above), and the two runners-up will be richly rewarded for their efforts as well.
To have any hope of placing in the top three, you better come up with something pretty incredible. Hundreds of pieces have already been submitted, everything from drawings and pixel art to handmade plushies, cloth goods, tattoos, T-shirts, cosplay, and even cakes.
