The 2020 Graphics/AARtist of the Year is...

[coz1]

You may notice (or not) a skip in the awAARds here and I will say more about it in the main YAYA thread [go here to speak on that], but for many reasons, I have moved directly to our excellent and most important graphics category. 10 amazing AARtists were nominated for this awAARd and I will present them as individuals rather than for a work itself (as sometimes they were voted generally and in other votes for a particular work.) Looking back, this winner is our only returning from last year but it is clearly well deserved because it was not close in the voting. Your 2020 AARtist of the Year is...

@Wraith11B​

Again, the only repeat winner from last year. Clearly something is being done well! 2nd place goes to...

@roverS3​

Another excellent choice for a returning nominee before we get to our bronze winner...

@Bullfilter​

Seven other AARtists were singled out here and they are:

@Rawghi

@JerseyGiants88

@Eurasia

@castlera

@The Kingmaker

@PossessedLemon

@Kienzle​

This is an important category because graphics/screenshots/etc. can very well take an AAR from good to great. To do it so well is something that I will always champion. And so should you. So come one and all and give congrats to these nominees and especially to our winner @Wraith11B !

Oh my goodness! I want to obviously thank everyone who voted, because without the readAARs, us writAARs have nothing but the void to scream into. Special thanks to those who thought my offerings this year justified a second award! I look forward to offering more in the future!

Lastly, but most important, go check out the others who were nominated, as their AARs are stunning in their own right!

Well done, all! Your graphics are amazing!

Congratulations @Wraith11B , a well-deserved victory, and I, for one, am glad to share this podium with yourself and @Bullfilter . Let's all keep the eye-candy coming.

Congratulations to @Wraith11B and to everyone else nominated!

 

[Bullfilter]

Congrats to @Wraith11B and @roverS3 who both put so much time into their graphical work and thanks to those who voted for me (there must be something about HOI3 that drives this!!). Congrats also to all nominees from a range of game genres and voters in general, and once more to @coz1 for all the effort in wrangling this.

Very warmest congratulations to all nominated, and of course in particular to @Bullfilter, @roverS3 and our 2x champ @Wraith11B! AAR graphics that go above and beyond really do make a project sing. It is a joy to see what you all produce.
