Last month, Virtuos Chengdu organized an Animation, Comics and Games (ACG) Jam design contest, giving our artists an opportunity to explore and design various forms of character art and win some prizes.
For this contest, participants can choose from three different submission categories – character illustration, character concept art, and illustration.
Spanning over a month, many artists sent in their original works, impressing their fellow teammates and our panel of art director judges. The “Most Popular” award was determined based on internal voting by Virtuos employees, whom Chen, Lead Artist at Virtuos Chengdu won with his piece, titled “Ball Lightning”.
