animago Still Gallery: Still Lifes

Every year, the best CG stills are honoured at the animago AWARD. But the other entries also deserve to be presented. From an art-historical perspective, still lifes are highly significant, and modern digital artists still like to choose this image genre.

Last year, more than 1,000 entries from around 60 different countries were submitted to the animago AWARD competition. Since unfortunately only a few can be nominated and only one still receives the animago trophy (in 2015 it was “On the Tramp” by Manuel Peter), we show further submissions on our website and present selected making-ofs in every new issue of DP.

In the seventh part of the animago AWARD still gallery from 2015: still lifes—some with symbolic meaning, some created for aesthetic reasons. You can find the title, the artist’s name, the tools used and the country from which the still originates in the caption when you click the image to enlarge it:
