First?
Cue the Puppies whining that the Irene Gallo nod is further proof of conspiracy against them
Nice to see Julie Dillon awarded again, and Irene Gallo acknowledged.
Thanks for this Listing — I’d probably have missed it if you hadn’t been on the ball. Mind you, I’ve been known to Quibble about the use of “Best….”, in the Chesley & other awards, including the Hugos, but my recollection is that the Chesley people have always picked some remarkably good stuff that might easily have been overlooked otherwise.

You can see the winners at Tessera Guild.
I also note (while hitting the clicky) that the only one of these artists who would have been on the Puppy-free ballot is Dillon. In that alternate reality, Dillon would have been joined by John Picacio, Galen Dara, Stephan Martiniere, and Chris McGrath. I think she would have won anyway, because that Shadows Beneath image became *instantly* iconic (it was reblogged a LOT on tumblr).
dammit clicky clicky.
I need to add that the stunning Chesley Award this year was created by Joy Alyssa Day.

Ooh, very pretty.
Congratulations to the winners – that’s some very, very, beautiful work there. Love John Harris’s work especially – wonder if he had anything to do with Homeworld/ or if the game designers were inspired by him?
@Dave – I keep getting a 403 error on your link, but you can see the trophy here. Fittingly, it’s also very pretty!
Many congratulations to all the winners and nominees! I’m extra pleased to see the Raoul Vitale because of the Nebula Award connection. =)
