Best of Krita-Artists

This is where members nominate artwork for the monthly poll.

  • Krita-Artists members can make up to five submissions in each monthly nominations thread.
  • This nominations thread will be open for submissions until 2026-09-11T18:00:00Z. Once nominations have closed, we will post a poll in this thread for all members to vote.
  • The five images receiving the most votes will be inducted into the featured artwork row. Winning images will also be automatically entered into the Best of Krita-Artists 2026 competition at the end of the year.

What is Best of Krita-Artists – 2026?

In January 2027, we will publish a poll containing all the winning entries from the previous year. K-A member voting will determine the top ten and these finalists will be awarded a “Best of Krita-Artists – 2026” badge.

In case you missed it, here are the results from last years’ winning entries: Best of K-A 2025

Troubleshooting

If the image does not appear, it’s usually due to:

b) the markdown line containing the image link is not on a line all by itself
c) your browser may have inserted backslash characters into the markdown code. Delete the extra characters to make the image appear. This is a backslash: \

I nominate “Boar” by @sooz for this so-ugly-its-cute warthog painting. :smiley:

Boar - Artwork / Finished Artworks - Krita Artists

Haha Thanks!

We’re currently in a transition period where all members have a new choice on their profile to opt in or not opt in to having their images nominated.

I inserted a line in the instructions (above) to reflect this change and during this transition period I’ll help everybody out with reminders.

The picture https://krita-artists.org/t/a-vehicle-design-for-an-art-challange-had-so-mutch-fun-with-it-d/188942 made by our member @Fionn is so wonderfully that I couldn’t resist nominating it. All the details in it you don’t notice at the first or second look are what makes it so special to me. Do you love this piece as much as I do?
