July Top 9 at 99 | Illustration

There’s no doubt that the illustrators at 99designs are top notch. From a coat-of-arms to an arm tattoo, these designers have been super busy producing one-of-a-kind designs for a diverse roster of clients. This month, we rounded up nine of the best recent illustrations and put them to a vote.

Congratulations to drawizart for winning July’s Top 9 at 99!  The spectacular coat of arms combined a son’s maternal and paternal family arms into a new family crest. While the contest competition was tight, the immense details and rich color palette in drawizart’s work wowed the client—and all of you!

Let’s take one more look at the winning design:
