"I wasn't expecting to win any prize. Originally I was going to do something rather clich?d but after spending a little bit more time exploring ideas, I came up with the Nun idea. Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone who gave feedback and constructive crits. It has been great fun and I'll
definitely enter future challenges."
Judges' comments: Anton Fletcher: "I like the way the light works with the skin and habit, and the fine dust in the air fogs the background. Nice work indeed."

"Jim Carrey; my idol, my inspiration. Never did I think of winning anything and here I am feeling so excited and honoured to recieve this award. Working on him was never a bore and despite the deadline and work, I still managed to squeeze in a few hours just to spend some time on him. And I really hope HE will like this portrait of him."
Judges' comments: Anton Fletcher: "This is an excellent caricature - something I had certainly not expected to see."

van der Byl: "The likeness is really well done, you can immediately see who it's supposed to be."

Artist comments:
"I couldn't be happier with this prize, thanks to all members of the juri for it, i wouldn't dream winning any category, given that i only started work 10 days from the end date... So this is really a major compensation for the work and sweat i've put in this, and will also be a great motivation for keeping up and enter future challenges!"
Judges' comments: Anton Fletcher: "This has been my wallpaper since I came across it - such an awesome sense of humor and tells a great story."
Artist comments:
"Being a full time student at the NAD Centre in Montreal, my colleague and I had about one month to complete our project. Actually, we also used this demo as our final assignment. Because this contest was international and with so many talented participants, we were a lot more dedicated to the project and our last month in school was that much more of a blast!"
"At last, I would like to thank CGSociety and their partners for this amazing opportunity to participate in this one of a kind challenge! I simply can't wait to take part in your next contest, and this time, we will be more experienced and... more of a threat! MMMOoouuuaaaahhhhh!!! Seriously, it will be a lot of fun to compete and share our knowledge once again."- Marc Lebuis.

Anton Fletcher: "I think this is a first for stop-motion animation in the CGChallenges, great to see such a variety of techniques making their way into the competition."
