Well, I'm pretty sure he used a tablet and hand drew all this. And yes he used the last supper as reference, but that was his whole idea. I find it very funny and original.
Look closely, and you'll see pencilstrokes as would be made with a tablet. I'm no professional on tablets, but this is not just pasting and filtering, I'm sure.
Oh and the results are on page 4 if people haven't noticed ^^

Massive congratulations to Starr and Tzu for first and second respectively. 
Starr, your detail work is amazing.
I knew going for a "comic book cover" style would bite me in the arse but I just couldn't resist.

Congrats to everyone! Very nice works of art (and difficult, due to the number of characters needed to be drawn in one piece x_x) Ha! I told Tzu she'd make the top 3 but she didn't believe me

Hehehe. I actually reminded everyone at least twice, and I regularly bumped this topic Life probably got in the way.
And as for judging: when hosting an art contest in which everyone can participate, you can expect all ranges of artistic level, so therefore I tried to judge as fair as possible, hence the 5 points per subject. I just like the fact that people express their creativity in art, ánd I got some really cool drawings of my toons out of it too. I was well worth it all ^^

A nice little thing to mention is the fact that my girlfriend thought it a nice idea to use one of the entries for a special present for my birthday, which was on the 4th of july. At the time Drauguers entry was the only one that was actually finished, so check this out: My leet mug!
KoKoS

runs away very very far. Virgo- very analytical, generally very quiet and reserved, but very straightforward.
LOL, no way! You'd have fussed over punctuation, spelling and organization of your list if you were. What's your sign?

I know I have no say in this, but I had four favourites, and just want to talk about them/compliment the artists real quick...
Dragon Festival by Tzu:
So fun to look at. Lots of creative and quirky little details that just bring it all together, i.e. crate of fireworks, festival tickets, the assassin hanging upside down. The background was very well done. It was detailed, but not prevalent, and overall just a beautiful piece of work to look at.
"Troll Bridge" (lol) by Starr:
Great detail. I think a little less comical and "creative" than Tzu's, but you make up for it in character detail. You did them so well. It's a joy to see how you put the group picture together - each character is as lovely as the next. Good job.
We Could Be Heroes by Dragon:
Possibly the most original (and successful) style of art I saw here. It has this strange realism to it, I think it's the faces - not anime or comic, so it was a nice change to see. I also love the intensity of the piece... the flames in the background with the Necro in the front bringing it all together with the demonic twistyness.
The Last Supper by Draugaer:
I know he/she can't read this, but I think it was probably the best adaptation seen, and a well chosen one at that. I appreciate how you maintained the positions of the characters with the DaVinci's version. It was very cool to see you add in that detail. Again, just a great idea, I think.
Good job everyone.

Ah, Aries the Leeroy I mean ram. First of the star signs and holds true to the "me first" attitude. You LOVE attention, maybe as much as a Leo.

Sjeng, you mentioned a custom HoM tapestry. Well, I was bored....
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...oone/gw443.jpg
Still needs a bit of cleanup, but shouldn't be that big of a problem. I ended up using Widowmaker's image mainly due to the layout. It was a near perfect fit. Just let me know if you're interested.

Yeah baby!! That's exactly what I'm talking about lol! You did that with TexMod right? I'd very much like to know how you did that xD
sykoone
Yep, it's a texmod deal. I just pulled the Heroes tapestry, and replaced the image with Widowmaker's image. I'm also working on one that replaces all the tapestries with Tzu's image (at least, I think it's Tzu's...the dragon fest one). A couple characters in each one, so your whole clan is looking in on you when you enter the hall. I'm just happy to have something to do.
Here's the first file.

Widowmaker, I'd like in getting you to do a piece for my characters as well, if you're interested. After I finished Sjeng's HoM mod, I want one of my own lol.
