It's pretty easy to see that the winner's artwork is not simply hacked together in photoshop. The lines are completely different, it's pretty obvious if you compare the outlines. Easily visible on the hair of Booker and Elizabeth as well as the neck detail of Songbird. The person who's complaining is just butthurt.
You jelly?

Yeah, that one drawing of the Booker is from a slightly different angle than the original art work.
That's what she said.
The Dork Knight.
As someone who did not participate in the competition (already own B:I and thought it was complete bollocks) and therefore am immune to being called jealous and/or butthurt, I'll say I agree with the complainants sentiment. Even if that artwork is not the exact same art with filters applied, that artwork cannot be considered original because it was not the artist's own idea. He merely took existing art and reproduced it.
If I reproduce the Mona Lisa on my own, even if it looks slightly different, it can still not be considered original artwork. Originality implies a lot more than just the absence of ctrl-c, ctrl-v.
Nice Shading.
The winning artwork is just a exact redraw of artwork all ready created. I could be mistaken, but creativity is zero here. (Which was the point of the competition, ORIGINAL artwork designed in its entirety by the entrant)
Only original [/B]work (must be drawn or designed in its entirety by the entrant – 3rd party material may not be used at all) will be considered – any non-original work will result in your entry being disqualified.
The way i see it, you cannot redraw artwork and put them all together on one artwork then claim it as your own original work/design.
I agree that this is just a redraw. The guy won but sheesh I think he should be ashamed for calling himself a professional artist.
What a fraud ........ BT Games and this shitty winner should be ashamed. Also, to those defending it and not seeing that it's not original work, get your eyes checked coz at the moment they're fucked

The winning drawing is just some rudimentary image manipulation and a hack comp job. The second place entry is far more deserving.
I can't say I'm surprised though considering the shitty business practices of BT Games.
