Ever humble and self-effacing, they did not breathe a word of their distinction. By chance, following Ovy's link to something else, I discovered that this November both Valiarde and Ovy were awarded prizes for their custom action figures and figures within scenes/dioramas in the Figurenwettbewerb 2021 competition. You can check out the announcement and selections of photos (make sure you scroll down to see everything) here:

Valiarde is awarded for his custom Charlemagne figure and for his Monstrumologe Dr. Moreau und Igor figures and scene.
Ovy is awarded for his figure and scene featuring the Joqonukk character he showcased recently -- and a friend.
Congratulations to Valiarde and Ovy for this formal recognition of their amazing work, for their talent, and for being wonderful human beings!
Of course, I hope both winners will share more photos of their exquisite creations with us here.

Nice to see Ovy getting some solid recognition for his beautiful tattooed Viking lady and natural scenery. Also Valiarde's unique figures and that impressively detailed diorama, very well deserved. Truly amazing entries from all the customizers, it was a pleasure to view. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and passion!
