Since then, the community has shared plenty of incredible artwork, and we’ve gathered some of the latest highlights to showcase in today’s news post! If you'd like to submit an entry, you can do so by posting in this thread. Submissions close on Wednesday, 2nd September at 10PM PDT!

There were many handmade stuff worth highlighting like the artists who made those linocuts. Sadly it s mostly only digital in 3 highlights already. Forum pvp https://www.instagram.com/critterspencils/	Posted by lolozori#1147 on Sep 1, 2026, 2:42:22 AM Quote this Post
Ya, this is why i said that they should make two different categories. It really makes me as a physical artist think that only digital entries are really gunna ever win, so I might as well not even bother. GGG, make two categories, or quit favoring digital art so obviously. That what Warframe does with their fan art competitions and it works and feels better for everyone.

If you’re posting your work, why not simply have fun with it, like in Warhammer without forcing new rules? I made mine because I wanted some POE art on my desk. Digital is no less relevant than physical, and physical artists can just print AI art to copy into their projects anyway. Let people create and enjoy it.

It s not a matter of AI tho, there were genuine very good handcrafted art that could have been highlighted not only the digital ones.

Something that Natalia_GGG might like, you might not.	Posted by Bigfat7007#8937 on Sep 1, 2026, 9:35:06 AM Quote this Post
