Greetings, fellow earthlings! After the community's overwhelmingly positive participation in the May Event Poll, we are proud to present to the people of GUN...


The theme for this contest is Modern Science Fiction, so show us your very best submissions from games like Mass Effect, Dead Space, Portal, Star Craft 2, Halo, Warframe, EVE Online, Destiny, Overwatch, Firefall, Deus Ex, X-COM, No Man's Sky, Star Trek or any of the dozens of Star-Wars games. Avoid titles centered around post-apocalyptic sci-fi, however.

Think more phasers and lightsabers, not Fallout or Metro style survival.

Thing:

Since I entered the screenshot contest and decided not to include this one screenshot I wished it to enter the graphics contest instead.
This is the first graphics contest I entered, so I don't really stand a chance against the ones in here that I really like. But from even seeing the most simple things turn out beautifull I decided to finish this one just now.

Its a full hd one and A banner one from originated from the same screenshot.

Subnautica banner:

Thank you to my fellow committee members for your tireless work on these contests! Your hard work is not unappreciated, and will not be forgotten.

Thank you again to everyone who participated, and I hope you had fun even if you didn't win! We'll be distributing rewards over the next day or two depending on how fast my mail is today...

This topic is now open for feedback and praise. Let the complements flow!
Keep it real GUN, you beautiful bunch of weirdos. See ya!

Congrats to the winners! I really enjoyed seeing these, it kind of gives me motivation to work on my own talent. Thanks for letting me be a part of this competition!

This nosy fucker also didn't expect to win here.

I would have probably put OnceKnown's banner a bit higher on the rankings because of the many details in there.
I also preferred Cruz's Tron banner a bit more than his Halo ones.
I love how he seemlessly makes the text fit with the artworks behind it.
And of course Archangels's just takes me back to the first time I played the 2016 reboot of Doom.
It makes Doomguy look a bit small and weak compared to the demons but it is still a really impressive sfm piece of art.

Was not expecting to get 1st place! Thanks!

Also, congrats to the other winners.

Congratulations! Well deserved!
Also, good job to everyone who entered. When's the next one? I'm excited already.

My favorite is the 3rd place , the 4th place beautiful too.

@"Madao" Thanks!
I finally got a breather of a weekend to check back on everything and saw that I got third!
Definitely wasn't expecting that.

Also, Archangel470 totally deserved first.
That was a masterpiece that was weaved.
