Welcome to our new bi-monthly installment of the Art Challenge! Take out your preferred drawing tools of choice, be them the standard Pencil and Paper, or even the renowned Drawing Tablet to digitalize your work, and prepare to embark on an epic challenge to test your artistic skills!

This contest has been separated into two groups: One for Traditional - Pencil & Paper artwork, and one for Digital artwork! Your task for this contest is simple: Make a drawing of any specific theme that correlates with War Thunder. Your choice of vehicle/infantries/etc to be represented in your artwork are only limited to War Thunder's eras and theme, and your very own imagination. Your art can be based on our real world and its history, or even an alternative universe if you so choose. Your work can be realistic, or even a cartoon.

Clarification:

This is a drawing contest. This means that the following will not be accepted as submissions:

  • Models and Model kits
  • 3D Models and 3D Renders.
  • Skins.
  • In-game screenshots and Edited screenshots - You may however use screenshots as references for your work if you wish, but do not trace them.


When you're using a reference image for your work, we expect that it is not copied over in its entirety.

Originality and creativity are where it counts. Notice the following between the source image and the art it is based on:

  • Completely redone camouflage
  • 2nd plane in the formation has been moved and even completed
  • Certain elements and features of the Spitfire has been redone, such as the pilot in the cockpit, the radiator, etc…
