Meet the Winners of the Domestika Contest
At Domestika, we highly value creativity, but also the ability to share the process and teach others. Recently, we held an illustration contest in which we received 142 high-quality projects from our creative community.
Domestika invited its creative community to design a captivating character inspired by two themes: "The Bright Side," focused on positivity and joy, and "The Dark Side," centered on mystery and intrigue. With a $500 prize at stake, the competition was fierce, and the level of entries was exceptional.
The jury carefully evaluated all submitted projects, considering not only aesthetics but also two key aspects:
Process documentation: Projects that detailed their development, sharing insights and challenges, were especially valued.
Educational value: Proposals that introduced new techniques and creative methods to inspire the community were sought.
After a difficult deliberation, these are the winning projects:
First Prize: "Magia - The Littlest Woodland Witch":
This project by Malgosia Krol won us over with its detailed explanation of the creative process, as well as the practical tips shared to achieve the presented finishes.
About Magia - The Littlest Woodland Witch: She carries great power based on wisdom acquired over her 1,348 years of experience. Inspired by the author's childhood and Polish culture, this charming witch teaches the importance of mistakes as a source of learning.
The creative process includes inspiration from books, the use of traditional tools before moving to digital, and a meticulous exploration of color palettes and textures.
Second Prize: "Mr. Philibert GOUDRON / Mr. Gilbert BALL":
In this project, Anne COLLET developed two characters, adding depth and creativity to the proposal.
About Mr. Philibert: Inspired by the artist's daily life as a mother, the project combines humor and tenderness in a charming story about the importance of setting boundaries. The traditional technique used brings unique warmth and texture to the illustration.
Created by Wanda Ojeda Santiago, Salvi stands out for its comprehensive process documentation, making it highly valuable from an educational perspective.
About Salvi: He is a robot that balances childlike innocence with adult responsibility. With an appearance that changes according to human emotions, Salvi teaches us to embrace both our inner child and maturity. The project details the creative process from the initial idea to the final execution, offering unparalleled inspiration.
These projects are a clear example of our community's talent. To all participants, we thank you for sharing your creativity and process with us.
