Killer Instinct Fan Art Contest Winners Feature
|
A new Killer Instinct is coming out on the XBone* in November and we started a KI Art Contest on our FGE Group a few weeks after it was announced on the E3 this year. Around 40 artists participated in the 2 months running contest, the winners were determined by a Jury as well as by a public poll.
Many of the Killer Instinct Fan Art submissions were simply great and it was a really difficult decision to choose the 5 winners. In this article, the five winning artists are featured as well as some of the submissions which could not make it into the top 5.
Thanks @ all artists for participating, Killer Instinct 1 and 2 were great games and well, we all hope that the new one will be a great game to continue this old fighting game series. |

Place #2 – B.Orchid and Spinal by Alpha-Step |
Place #3 – B.Orchid and TJ Combo by Origo Games |
Stephen “Alpha Step” Zavala won the 2nd Prize with only a few more votes than Origo-Games from China. His B.Orchid and Spinal Portraits are part of a series for all Killer Instinct characters. This fan art project by himself will be featured here on Game-Art-HQ as well. Both artists won a 3 Month dA Premium Membership with their submissions.

Place #4 – Eyedol & Sabrewulf vs. Spinal by Fasslayer |
Place #5 – Jago & Sabrewulf by Grapiqkad |
Fernando “Fasslayer” Santibáñez from Chile drew the relative unpopular Eyedol, the boss of the first Killer Instinct and also a battle illustration of Sabrewulf and Spinal.
Grapiqkad from Quatar used the new design of Sabrewulf and Jago as one of the few Artists who participated, nearly all others sticked to the old designs.
