The ALVINLEEART.COM DIGITAL COLOR CHALLENGE has been concluded and we have come to terms with the five finalists by our board of judges. There were a plethora of submissions to review and after much consideration and many great entries later these are the pieces of work that we found were not only well executed but stood out from the crowd. We want to thank you all for your generous submissions and hard work put towards this contest, it was greatly appreciated! Three of these finalists were actually featured earlier during the competition and still remained in the running for the grand prize. Congratulations for making it on to the voting session, your work speaks for itself! We apologize for the delay of the announcement of our finalists but as you can understand we had hundreds of submissions to review and as the deadline drew near the competition grew more intense. It was a difficult decision to make as we butted heads, argued for specific submissions and debated for days but I hope you are pleased with our final selection.
Vote for your favorite submission now!

Fabian Schlaga has my vote!
October 12th, 2009 at 5:56 am

his is just the best overall IMO
has a really nice almost kind of a movie poster kind of feel to it
very top notch
[i really dig Seth Jones and Laura Galiffe's as well]
nice job!
i only wish i made enough time to do an entry of my own :\

I liked Cassie Fuertez the most, she had some nice tones

I’m shocked Jorge Maese wasn’t a finalist. wow! I gave my vote to Monk. He’s the clear winner here.
October 12th, 2009 at 5:08 am
Oh sad, I didn’t get the final. May the best win.
October 12th, 2009 at 4:18 am
I think that Andrea Errico should have been in top five fo sure.. Must say that I’m little disappointed those finalis. Only 2 out of 5 are right (imo), Danny Araya and Monk.
And my vote will goes to Monk.Really nice piece overall! Stunning colors

I really like Monk, I think is the best in finalists (anyway, compliments to all). But, I really love some work in “notables”

UPDATED: Notables are now draggable and in full resolution.
About Fifi Xu’s entry: We had a long discussion about her entry and we came to this conclusion. Unfortunately Alvin wasn’t very fond of the colors depicted in the piece, overall her submission was very well rounded and displayed a lot of her talent, but in the end if wasn’t entirely the direction Alvin was looking for.

I would’ve picked Fifi Xu, too.
October 12th, 2009 at 2:47 am
Had Fifi Xu been a finalist, I would have voted for her!
After giving a vote to Fabian (has a cool Korean Hanji-paper feel to it), I looked through the Notables and WOW.
Fifi’s looks just GORGEOUS.
