The submission period for Concept Art Contest 2019 has come to a close, and the entries are lookin’ seriously stellar!

We received SO many submissions (with over 250 unique concepts!!) and were absolutely blown away by the entries! It’s clear that a lot of hard work and thought went into these concepts, so we wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone that participated. You guys are incredible!

This week, we took on the arduous task of finding our Top 8 Finalists in a sea of amazing entries. This elite bunch of concept art will be moving on to the community choice phase, where you guys will be able to decide on the skin that will make it into the actual game! Once you’ve browsed through all Top 8 Concepts below, please head HERE to cast your ratings for each skin.

Once the polling period ends on March 27 at 23:59 CET, points will be tallied up to decide on the placement order of the 8 Finalists and prizes will be distributed accordingly. The concept art that receives the most points will be crafted into an in-game skin that will be free for everyone!

To see the list of prizes along with a small FAQ for any questions you may have, please check out the first contest posting.

And so… without further ado, here are the Top 8 Finalists!
