We managed to get an interview with one of the designers that participated in this contest (he created the insect/horse combination) and he told us more about himself and how he got started in digital art: "I liked art and creativity since I was a child. I since then have learned how to use a computer and I became interested in learning to draw in Paint, then in Corel Painter, and finally Photoshop. After that, I started doing 3D modeling."

We asked the artist if he has fond memories of participating in Photoshop contests and how DesignCrowd was helpful to him: "I certainly learned a lot during this period, made friends, had fun, and even earned some money with some jobs."

The artist told us about how his unique animal combination came to life: "The idea came from the theme of this contest that the article is showing. I was looking at reference photos and ended up with a combination of a horse and a grasshopper. So I was cutting out parts of the grasshopper and superimposing it on the horse. In the end, I also used parts of other insects for some details."

The artist tells us more about what he's into today and what he's up to: "Today I don't spend as much time doing Photoshop anymore. However, when I have time, I usually do 3D modeling." 3D modeling is often what follows after digital art for many artists. It opens up a lot of possibilities and career opportunities.

DesignCrowd writes about the goal of their business: "Our mission is to help businesses find the best design in the world, faster, and at a price that fits their budget. We also want to give designers the chance to earn money for their creative skills."

DesignCrowd is a great place for designers and creative people who need a place to unleash it. If you're looking for a website where you can get your own work seen, become better, and meet with other designers - DesignCrowd is for you!
