As a lifelong fan of the Aliens and Predator franchises, I’ve had many dream moments throughout my career, but one of the most unforgettable milestones came with Aliens vs Predator Evolution, the mobile game that blended these two iconic universes into a thrilling experience. However, what makes my story with this game even more special is that I had the opportunity to become a part of it—literally—thanks to winning an official art contest held by the game’s developers.

The Art Contest: A Dream Opportunity

The developers of Aliens vs Predator Evolution held an art contest with the chance for one lucky winner’s artwork to be featured in the game. As someone deeply passionate about the Aliens and Predator mythos, I jumped at the opportunity to submit a piece. My submission, which reflected the dark, intense, and thrilling atmosphere of these iconic franchises, caught the attention of the judges, and I won the contest!

The Prize: A Permanent Spot in the Game

Winning the contest meant more than just recognition—it meant that my art would become part of the game itself. As a bonus for completing the game, players unlock a special level, and the loading screen for this bonus level features none other than my artwork. For a fan of these two legendary sci-fi franchises, this was a dream come true. It was the ultimate way to cement my place in a universe I’ve adored for so long.

Immortalized in the Aliens vs Predator Universe

There’s something incredibly surreal about seeing your own art in an official game, especially one as iconic as Aliens vs Predator Evolution. This experience became a source of immense pride and fulfillment for me as an artist, and it's an achievement I carry with me every day. The fact that players can experience my work while diving into a thrilling Aliens and Predator world is something that will always be special.

The Impact: Personal Growth and Artistic Validation

For me, winning this contest was not just about recognition; it was a transformative experience. Being able to contribute something tangible to a game that resonated so deeply with me was an affirmation of my artistic journey. It was also a huge validation of my work, showing me that persistence and passion could lead to incredible opportunities. It's a reminder that, as an artist, you never know where your next project might take you, but if you remain true to your craft, you could just end up in a place you’ve always dreamed of.

For any fellow Aliens and Predator fans or aspiring artists out there, I encourage you to take every opportunity to pursue your passion. Whether it’s through a contest or just a personal project, you never know when your work will catch the attention of others—and potentially make its way into a game, movie, or universe that you admire.
