Corel Character Contest… Winners Revealed!

Earlier this year Drawcrowd and Corel challenged the digital art community to flex its creative muscles with the launch of the Epic Character Contest. The competition, which asked artists to create an original character in Corel Painter and Clip Studio Paint Pro, was met with over 500 ambitious entries that pushed the software capabilities to their limits.

“They did not disappoint,” says Corel’s senior product marketing manager for digital arts, Tanya Lux. “We received an incredible array of characters, and coming to a decision on our top three finalists was no easy task.”
