Entering such contests isn't only for the prize, you can always give it a try even if you don't think you could win. Practice is always good... :)

OMFG this is my dream come true. Starcraft is pretty much the only game for me. This is going to be unbelievable. I'm definately going to enter something, even though I won't win, but what I'm really looking forward to is other people's entries. Thanks so much for posting this!

How do you know? I wouldn't be surprised if you win one of the minor prizes, your backgrounds are pretty awesome. :) If I was you I'd join the StarCraft 2D Backgrounds part.

I think you'd have a shot at it. I wish they had a section for warhammer, my friend does the sickest warhammer art i have ever seen.

PS. i have a pic you did as my desktop background ^_^.

Well, that makes me feel good :D
But damn, look at those prizes! I can't imagine who's going to enter this. I wouldn't be surprised if some highly professional muralists enter this... rediculous.

good :)

i know, its more than most game contests

I can't imagine who's going to enter this.

all i know is theres quite a few secondry prizes. And i'm sure you enjoy doing your art so you would enjoy making it and keep the money as motivation.

yes. it wouldn't suprise me either.
Oh, and one question, would you like to make a game some time? I'm a big fan of your work and have the coding skills (there are regs around who can vouce for me, and i can show example if you like).

I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of flash regs have one of your backgrounds saved or bookmarked ;)

'Zactly, doesn't that make you want to join?

Of course professional artists will join that, but hey, I wouldn't call your backgrounds unprofessional :D

Only photoshoppers will PWN that... And im guessing 3D art will pwn too because 2D art is slowly but surely losing it's appeal.
