Here's a comment from Mr. Eisaku Kubonouchi,
a jury of Illustration category:
“Seeing each and every entries was fresh and exciting experience for me! There were a lot of surprises and revelations to me – Seeing people use Copic in ways I’ve never imagined was a great learning opportunity. As for the grand prize winner of Illustration category, the idea of hiding chameleons into the various different materials was really amazing! I picked this masterpiece as a winner without hesitation.”

A shame the skills were not applied to an original design to demonstrate the use of markers for design development and concept presentation rather than the reproduction of photographic images compiled from different historic vehicles rather than offering a second perspective view as it would be common for transport design renderings.

Design: "Mini Specimen Box"
