Stacking: The Contest: The Winners: The News Post

Man, some of you are pretty dang talented!

Last Friday, I asked the budding digital artists among you to whip up some fancy Russian nesting doll-related imagery for your chance to win one of 10 vouchers for Double Fine's latest lovely laugh riot Stacking. And man oh man did you deliver. There's so much talent in our li'l community it brings a tear to my eye. It's almost like some of you are professional artists or something!
 
It was so hard to choose these winners, I can't even tell you. It was heart wrenching. But chosen them I have, and here they are. Winners, look for your codes via PM soon, and thanks to everyone who participated!

Clearly this gentleman knows that you always fight Air Man first. Don't ask how I know that.

Cardboard-box nesting doll might be the best thing in this whole contest.

Would have been better if the plasma cutter was splitting the necro-doll around its seam, but the amount of detail on that mining suit doll is great.

I'm sensing some Double Fine/Capcom t-shirt design brand synergy potential with this one. Fantastic work.

This guy scored points for working in a fairly unusual medium.

I think you'll all agree it's the spine that really makes this one.

Ezio doll inside Desmond doll is just too good a concept to ignore.

I like the sort of tartan background pattern. Also, that's exactly how a metroid would eat you in real life! You know, because metroids are really real and everything.

I kinda wish these guys stacked in the order you fight them, but having Bison levitating and the expressions on their faces really make this one.

My personal bias aside, the amount of detail in this image is just stunning. Dude, I'm pretty sure the amount of your time you put into this is worth more than $15. Check out the high-res version for the full effect. That giant colossus doll is crazy!

Fuuuuck those are good. I was too lazy to go through each page to look at them all but good picks for sure.  Mortal Kombat, Ryu, and MGS are my favorites.
