~ BI-WEEKLY CHALLENGE THREAD ~

For those of you who frequent the conceptart.org forums this should be pretty familiar; tens of artistic combatants thrown together in to an artistic arena, each struggling for the honor of being dubbed a master of the visual arts. Those of you who succeed will be bathed in glory and the blood of their competitors, those of you who fail will be exiled to a life of shame and isolation.

The aim of this thread is to try and spice things up a bit here in the ol' Artist's Corner. This thread is for entries in to the challenge or the discussion thereof. If you'd like to suggest a topic for the weekly challenge, go right ahead, but understand that the last winner of the challenge has total control over the task (unless they have won more than two challenges in a row, see rules).

The rules are simple;

RULES:

• One entry per person, per challenge.
• A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
• Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
• At the end of a challenge, the thread is locked and a new one is begun.
• Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
• All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.

If you're looking for inspiration, check out the aforementioned conceptart.org forums (specifically the creature/environment/character of the week sections).

Mustang

Crap, I was doing sketches last night for satan's teapot thinking it was going to win.

MKR

It's amazing how quickly I fell out of practice with Blender when I started focusing on drawing.

On the plus side, I may be practiced enough with a pencil to draw this.

Sublimus

So the end date is the 29th?

Flay

Yep, that sounds about right

Demi Gourd

Here's-a mah entry.

Arfenhouse

Mine

Mustang

Ha, I like that, very clever.

I started this but my photo editor/ paint program at work crapped out before I saved it....I was only 40 minutes in but *shrugs shoulders* it wasn't that great an idea to begin with.

lyrium

gahh, two ideas, so busy, barely time to do ONE even if I'm super efficient... nugh

Flay

Perhaps we should extend this to a bi-weekly challenge?

Mustang

Yes bi-weekly would be better.

I'm stuck at work and I detest painting with a mouse. So a rush job and a basic colour palette is all your going to get.



Apologies for the bland idea, what can I say, I'm just not very creative.

That would be a good idea. The AC isn't as hardcore as CA.

Don't put yourself down so much, I actually quite like it.

I agree.

Sublimus

I have all day to put mine up right?

[edit] NM, Im not going to have one today, anyhow.

DeeLock

My initial sketch

CyberMonkeytron3000

How many of you have found the hidden world?



:winky:

beavotron

cyber that is fantastic

Mustang

X marks the wetspot, I fookin love it cyber. A+

MKR

Is this still going? I have a thing that involves a farm and other things.

Mustang

Actually I think it finished last friday, but no-one really mentioned a cut-off date. Should we push it out to a month?

Say yes or i'll internet punch you in the face.

CyberMonkeytron3000

For me, I think having a slightly quicker turn around would be good. Run this thing for 3 weeks- then spend a week voting/ getting the winner to decide the next contest.

If we let it drag on too long, people get distracted by shiny things....



...woo, whats that over there...pretty...

lyrium

Not sure how well this turned out, but oh well!

I want that as a background so hard!

Edman

I feel bad putting mine up after seeing cyber's. Holy crap.



Edit (BOTP):

Grenn

Is this still open? :P I posted this in my own thread elsewhere but it fits the Challenge brief, so I'll enter it here too:

If you wanted to, you'd probably be able to slip something into this one before it's locked.

NightDragon

Cyber, not that this needs to be repeated again, but

obligatory

asspat, asspat.

[edit] holy shit and Grenn

asspat, asspat for you too, that's awesome

you should submit that to Threadless (if you didn't in your thread, I missed it)

CyberMonkeytron3000

Thanks for the love peeps

Edmangoodrich and Grenn- I heart both of yours. A lot.

So whose driving this crazy thing?

Thank you! It's actually part of a collection of work which I screenprinted myself.

I've not submitted anything to Threadless in a long time but maybe it's worth sending something their way. I'm actually working with a company which is setting up something similar to Threadless, so will be producing shirts for them. Busy busy...

Thanks also Cyber -- your piece is sweeeeeet!

Godfather

Screw Threadless, submit it to Designsbyhumans.com!

srsizzy

Is this still a challenge thread?

lyrium

So um....
Let's start thinking of ideas for the next one. It's depressing when stickied threads die.
Some of the ideas from before were pretty popular, like the devil's teapot. Any other ideas?

Mustang

Ummmmm....now.......let..........me............think.......how....................about.........................devils teapot?

DeeLock

I still like the playing card idea.

Design an illustrated playing card for use in a game like Magic the Gathering?

Flay

Shit, I completely forgot about this thread. Um, I guess the challenge is closed. I'll ask Mars if he can set up a voting thread to decide on a winner.

EDIT: Remember, the winner gets to choose the next topic.

Stupid Mr Whoopsie Name

Time to get our Vote on!

Mustang

I'd vote for myself, but in the face of the excessive awesomeness of cyber...I'm going to have to vote for cyber.
