ART CONTEST FINALE
Recently we opened the Official Primal Carnage Store, and simultaneously kicked off a community art contest focused on designs that could work well on merch such as T-shirts, mugs, posters, etc.
Today we're unveiling the winners of the art contest, but first let's visit the gallery to peruse all of the competition entries we received...

There was a nice variety of submissions, from full colour posters to sticker-style cutouts, in a whole bunch of different styles. As there was no specific theme other than something which might work well as merch, there's a wide range of subjects in the artwork too.

It was difficult narrowing down the selection, keeping in mind both the requirements of assets that would be physically printed and considering the merits of each piece on its own terms. Here are a few that we really liked but didn't quite make the top spots...
"Airbase Poster" by ChunkoHunko
"Lightning Spino" by DiNoKiDz1441
"Water Spino" by Shockal
"Don't Fall Behind!" by Dead but delicious
"Summer Dilophosaurus" by Stardust Blur
"Fiery Novaraptor" by FeralViolet
"Serious Trapper" by Bad Plague
Some of these designs may yet become the basis of official merch in future, if we find time to work through some tweaks with their creators.
After much deliberation, we came up with the top three below. The following designs will appear on official merchandise in the Primal Carnage Store in future!
[h2]3RD PLACE -[/h2]
[h3]"You Are Spitacular" by BBQ [/h3]
This delightful piece made us smile, it'll be an excellent sticker. We love the colours and the art style in general (plus we're a sucker for puns). The expression on the cartoon Dilophosaur's face is just priceless.
[h2]2ND PLACE -[/h2]
[h3]"Primal Cornage" by jita23[/h3]
The in-joke that will just never die, we couldn't say no to a celebration of Primal Cornage - the world's greatest typo turned breakfast cereal. This is a great re-interpretation of the boxes that can be found as easter eggs in-game, with a nicely retro feeling vintage poster aesthetic.
[h2]1ST PLACE[/h2]
[h3]"For a Better Tomorrow" by Jacket [/h3]
Taking things to the next level, we have the first place design. The lighting and overall execution of this piece are top notch, with an ominous background glow and excellent use of masking to create a border that gives an impression of liquid. The vibe is a little darker than most of the other pieces and alludes to the concept of the dinosaurs being unnatural recreations of science.
It's going to make an epic T-shirt.
[h2]Prizes[/h2]
The three winning community artists will be receiving copies of their designs on products of their choosing, along with the other prizes mentioned in the Art Contest Announcement. We'll be reaching out via Discord to discuss the details soon.
[h2]Until Next Time...[/h2]
Thankyou to everyone who participated in the contest, it was lots of fun looking through all the artwork!
Even if you lost out, as mentioned above, there's still a chance some of those outside of the top three may yet be added to the official merchandise collection in future. We had a surplus of awesome entries honestly!
Looking ahead, we're definitely hoping to run more contests in future :)
