yeah wow so many great paintings how do you even pick a winner

@Madwurmz We will actually have TWO winners. Acchan is awarding a superlike, and the discussion group will pick another winner to receive a superlike.
This way we can help two artists to be featured in the superlike painting area to get more attention for their art.

All the arts in the contest are really high standard! :)
What would the winner be awarded?

@Gray_GBC two people will receive a superlike in the first contest.

Congratulations @TB_Studios!

The first #rdcontest has now ended. We are excited to see all the artwork submitted, and were very pleased with the renewed emphasis in realistic art. Thank you all for participating.
One winner has already been selected by @Acchan, who donated a superlike. @TB_Studios was awarded a superlike for "Terror of the West", which really fit the theme, creating a scene and a story. Congratulations!
The Realism Discussion Group is in the process of picking one more winner which will be posted here soon.

Sounds good! :D

Lots of analysis happening in the Realism Discussion Group regarding the winner of the second superlike. After several rounds of discussion we have narrowed it to three....now for the hard part!

While we finish up the selection of our winners from the first contest the second is already starting, hosted by Madwurmz. Click on #rdcontest and see the details of our still life competition. There is another superlike up for grabs!

Our second winner has been selected. That took a while because there were so many good paintings that folks were pulling for!
The second winner is "Egg Rock" by @Smallpoly, who received a superlike.
@ChaoticMess88 was the runner up with "green swamp".
