HM Awards 2009
I have been searching our galleries for my favorite images and artists to nominate for the 2009 HM Awards (as I am sure you have done or are also in the process of doing). As I peruse I am struck by and reminded of, how 2009 was by far the year of the 3d artist here at Heromorph. From veterans to newbs it seemed as if everybody was in on it and on it like gangbusters. Our galleries burst with tons of 3d images that represent a variety of genre, skill, method, and message. From the expertly Photoshop polished pieces to the unedited fun of the raw render, and from comic to cartoon, and the serious to the beautiful we saw it all in 2009. The surge in 3d images started early and continued to build until it was at a fever pitch to close out the year. It was as if ever Poser, Maya, Zbrush, and Daz artist were racing to get everything out of their systems by the end of the year, and boy did they. The galleries were literally on fire with passion and creativity, and all of us had a ring side seat. We had days where the galleries first page was completely filled with new images just about every time you looked, and 3d artists led the charge. Heromorph expanded to become a haven for 3d art and artists as well.
Even though 2009 was the year of the 3d artists it was also the year of the break out star. We had nothing but love for new comers Jinky Coronado, Darkbirth, EduMonteiro and, not to mention that all stars like Wolverine1607, ReddEra, JustinBLong2003, Wally outlaw2k, and PowermastJazz turned in solid works through out the year. Who could forget the comic book artists like pijon and Hisstoryman keeping us entertained through their sequential efforts? Superstars like Colero, Candra, and the king Android wowed us again. Then all of the Moderators and Heralds contributed not only to the running of the site we love so much, but to the artistry within the galleries as well. Not to mention so many more that I would run out of time this year to try  . But most impressive I think was co_04?s efforts. It was one home run image after another all year long, and then he caps it off by self publishing a magnificently silly comic book.
We here at Heromorph pride ourselves on being the most accessible artistic community on the internet, and I think 2009 proves that out. Our strength here is in our membership that has an insatiable appetite for the latest and greatest the artists have to offer. I think the level of interest here is a major contributing factor that encourages artists to produce and display more works, and to take greater risks as well. Not only for the 3d?ers, but for all of the traditional and digital artists we showcase. That of course includes the pervy manipers who started it all.
I would be remiss if I didn?t mention how the Heromorph Download Central offering of free and one of a kind 3d content exploded in 2009 and quietly became the best of the breed on the net.
Of course just to prove the point of my thesis here is a list of artists who have contributed 3d images in 2009. I hope it?s everybody because they all deserve recognition.
Winterhawk, Sturkwurk, PoserHobit, TartanNinja, Ubald, Yunners, Peter Cotton, Meter Man, DarkJedi, efindel, Khrys, Tuffers, MagnetMage, skurge, MasterChief, Blubeetle3, Voltron2k/Nortlovek2, ricklinkous, drunkedragon, Grimslade, RHSCreations, Gnostic85, cypher389, joequick, DOAA, Logan5, mikemusike, eqinoxx, nadino, Cyanure, kelkor, hiiamles, Colero, spiderpity, hal001, Halfbakedone, john-reilly, thestarkiller, Drawolf25, JimCorrigan, Starchild, Elena-evil, joshuaoman, artistheat, finister, NightmareHero, lordkain, Skiba13, Marvel1, BJman21st, ravenwynd, Fudster, somniculosus, MechaTrav, A_C_C, jgumpc, tkdoherty, batraymond, psychostrat, halcon89, MrVonP, timetwist, Dark_Wanderer, Big_Ox, Chup@Cabra, danny, TheBlindBat, ionisys, isi, Christian22179, dlfurman2, Defcan, jojokun, LiarsSmile, lexluthor76, cattle, cypher389, mekwiat, ozzboyd, lordcoyote, saur, efindel, Fawnheart, Apelord, jaguarry3, artguyjoe, and even I got into the act.
Finally, I felt it was necessary to list out all of the great artists, characters, and images I consider worthy of nomination for the 2009 Heromorph awards. While we can only officially choose one, I can?t help but think all of these people and works deserve recognition. Bravo Everyone!
