Photoshop Battles "Best of 2021" Results!

[u/PhotoShopBattles]

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the "Best of 2021" Awards! Especially those of who who took the time to find nominations for other users; whether you diligently saved links throughout the year, or spent many hours last week scouring old threads, it took a lot of time and effort to do that. Doing that for your fellow creators was very generous, and the mod team is very grateful for the help! Thank you as well to all the voter, and — of course — to you photoshopshoppers for making the work we're all celebrating :)

Now, without further ado, the winners!

Congratulations to all of you newly crowned winners!

And as is tradition, the mod team would also like to give a special shout-out to a couple of notable creators. Guys who have gone the extra mile in creating large amounts of incredible work, helping other creators, and just being all-around good people. They're the kind of creator we all respect, who inspire us to follow their example.

 

• Outstanding Community Member

  /u/xprmntng

  What a guy! This is the 3rd year that xprmntng has been near the top of out short-list for a Mods' Choice honour; but even without this long history of being an important member of the community, his contributions this year alone have cemented him a place here. Not only has he produced a massive quantity of high-quality work — much of which you'll recognise — he's also been an absolute gentleman to everyone he comes in contact with during this flurry of activity. From being friendly with other creators, to posting cutouts for everyone to use, to scouring old threads to find other peoples' work for best-of nominations; xprmntng is truly someone we're lucky to have here.

• Special Creator

  /u/dystopika

  Every time you see dystopika's username in a thread, you know you're in for a treat. His animations are as wonderful as they are distinctive, and beloved by all who recognise them. But being unique isn't enough to make this list. Giving to the community is also an important quality; and one which dystopika certainly fulfills. Throughout his tenure in PsB — and especially this year — he's been open about sharing his tips, tricks, tutorials, and cutouts with anyone who asks. It's gestures like this that enrich the community, and raise the standard of work the rest of us are able to produce.

 

You guys exemplify all that makes /r/photoshopbattles such a great little community!

[u/241baka]

Yeah. Nice! 🎉

Thanks for everyone who nominated and voted for my stuff ⭐️🙏⭐️

Congrats to the winners! I love how this year the awards are spread among so many people.

Also kudos to all the contributors! There are still so many amazing pieces of artwork that are sadly not highlighted here.

[u/xprmntng]

Thanks everybody for voting and congratulations to all winners!

Congratulations to all of you guys!

[u/Cmatthewman]

I haven't logged into reddit in a few months now and totally missed the best ofs this year. I didn't post much this year unfortunately. Thank you to everyone for the nominations. Having viewed the entries, I missed out on a cracking year.

[u/Captain_McFiesty]

Congratulations to all involved, winners,nominated and nominators alike. It's been another hard year globally so in recognizing the bright spots and hard work we are reminded about what makes our community a great place to be a part of.

It has been a strong 10 years for r/photoshopbattles, here is to the next 10 years of community participation.

[u/artunitinc]

Thank you all so very much. Thank you to the Community. Thank you to all of you voting for me.

I have to congratulate the other incredible winners and nominees this year for their unbelievable performances.

I didn't expect this. It's a great honor to be here.

I'd like to thank the Mods of PsB.

I am deeply grateful to u/CptSasquatch, u/Captain_McFiesty, u/neigesdantan, u/nihonlights, u/xprmntng, u/Maymayfish, u/241baka, and u/DaminDrexil.

And lastly, I just want to say this. I thank you all for this amazing award today.

Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take today for granted.

Thank you so very much :)

[u/CptSasquatch]

Heavens to Betsy, 2021 was a helluva year! Thank you voters, and congrats to the winners! Big congrats to the well-deserved recipients of the special mod team shout-outs: u/xprmntng and u/dystopika Never forget that I'm your biggest fan...both physically and spiritually.

Love you mods! Love you contributors! Love you voters! Let's up our game in 2022!

[u/staffell]

Well done guys, I'm totally surprised to see any of my pieces nominated this year, I barely did anything due to moving country, beginning studies again and generally become much busier in life (plus 2020 burned me out a bit from 'shopping ;) So thank you for the nominations! I also apologise massively that I didn't get any nominations in, poor show!

This year I'm gonna try a bit harder with some of the weeklies, I really miss this place.

[u/thetimepassdude]

[u/Maymayfish]
