How you can be crowned ImagineFX Artist of the Year

By Creative Bloq Staff

Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to feature in the world’s leading digital art magazine.

ImagineFX is the world’s number one magazine for digital artists. Featuring everything from inspirational workshops from leading fantasy and sci-fi artists and interviews, to community news and in-depth product reviews, it’s not hard to see why creatives dream of being featured in this world-class publication. 

If you’re one such creative, we’ve got good news, that dream could soon become a reality. In association with Corel® Painter®, ImagineFX will showcase a selection of work submitted by digital artists across the globe each month, from now until December 2020. 

Every issue, the editorial team will pick an Artist of the Month. The Artist of the Month will win Corel Painter 2021 (SRP $429), plus an Ultimate Brush Pack Bundle that includes over 600 brushes (SRP $1199.60 USD)±

From the Artists of the Month, an overall Artist of the Year will be chosen at the end of the year. The winner will then be celebrated at Vertex, the world-class conference for 2D and 3D artists, in February 2021.

Achieve digital painting perfection

If this sounds like the kind of project you want to get involved with, you’re going to need some quality digital art software to develop your artwork. And Corel Painter provides all the tools you could ever possibly need. 

The slickest version of the software to date includes Painter 2021's New Brush Accelerator™ tool. The impressive feature assesses a user's individual system and then applies optimal performance settings, allowing artists to paint up to 20-times faster. Unleash your creativity with 900+ included brushes and create with Painter’s revered traditional media and unique digital art brushes that bring that extra special something to your artwork.

Want to give it a try? Corel Painter 2021 is available on a free 30-day, fully functional trial (for both Mac and Windows), with no strings attached or obligation to buy. So what are you waiting for? 

Download Corel Painter 2021 today and get on your way to becoming ImagineFX Artist of the Year.
