Eyetoad Challenge #13

By Pierre Berthier

We are thrilled to announce the winner of the 13th Eyetoad Creative Challenge, on the theme of Shops and merchants in The Weald.

First place goes to Vlank, who charmed everyone with a whimsical, light-hearted take on a world that is usually grim, muddy, and shrouded in darkness. Her entry brought a refreshing brightness to The Weald without losing its unique spirit.

Sharing second place ex aequo, we have Thek and Quarantine Miniatures, who both leaned into a much more grimdark interpretation of the theme. Each delivered their own distinctive twist, proving once again how many ways our world can be reimagined.

Overall, this challenge was an incredible success: the quality reached new heights, the styles were diverse and bold, and many newcomers made their debut with works that instantly felt at home in The Weald.

Thanks to everyone who painted, voted, or just followed along — you’re making these challenges something really special. Can’t wait to see what the next round brings!

PS: the next challenge will be announced at the beginning of the new year, expect it to start in January

Thanks a lot to all the other participans who’s entries are featured below!
