The last day to vote for your favorite entry in Animation Magazine‘s Face 2 Face contest is rapidly approaching, the polls close at 5 p.m. PST on Friday, Jan. 30.
Contestants were able to enter up to two facial models in the game resolution or film resolution categories. Entries fell into one of the subcategories: realistic male, realistic female, realistic child, nonhuman humanoid (orc, goblin, etc.), nonhuman (reptile, insect, etc.), or cartoon/stylized character.
The submissions were judged by a panel of professional animators and visual effects experts, including Rob Coleman of Lightstream Pictures; Cesar Dacol Jr., a veteran freelance character designer; Richard Taylor of Weta Digital; and Paul Debevec of USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies.
