Well then . . . the time has come for the mods to set the guidelines of the March Challenge, which will be:
Gods & Demons : Inhabitants of the NeverRealm
Imagine an offworldy realm inhabited by Gods & Demons mixed with old and Gods & Demons yet to come . . .
. . . it can be ANY God or Demon of the old legends and mythology spreading from Egyptian Gods or Demons to Chinese, Greek or Mayan, Or you can create your own original view on Gods & Demons
There are however some restrictions to prevent unnecessary issues:
Images with a direct outside linking should NOT exceed the size of either 800x600 or 600x800 . . . If you want to show a larger formatted picture, do so using a link to the image . . . we have to keep in mind that there are still people with small monitors and slow connections.
Gods & Demons should NOT look like ordinary humans with just a robe for example. Give them style, make them "godly", really push yourself.
Gods & Demons should live in a NON humanlike environment.
Gods have special abilities/characteristics . . . portray them as you see fit, but DO portray them.
Demons are NOT by definition evil . . . they just look like that . . . use that thought for your benefit . . .
A guideline which goes for EVERY challenge, absolutely NO premade meshes/models. so no props or non-mainsubject characters either.
Do your research and model anything adn everything from the ground up. If it's obvious you cheated, your submission will NOT be accepted for the voting stage . . .
This challenge is open for Characters, Vehicles and Environments.
To give you an idea for vehicles, think chariots and the likes, for environment, think a warped habitat, thrones, temples anything that would immediately be recognizable as the environment of either a God or a Demon.
The challenge focus is modeling, but you can also submit 2d images but no photomaterial or archived material is allowed.
For 2d the same rule applies as 3d, create everything yourself.
Textures and animations are allowed, tho not required
Please keep your model untextured for final voting, this makes it fair at the end for everyone.
Lit scenes for final images can consist of GI or traditional lighting
if you choose to model a character/vehicle *only* model a character/vehicle, do not add an environment unless you state otherwise in your title heading
again this is to keep things fair to all
The Challenge starts March 11th and will run till April 5th Midnight EST
On a side note, Voting for the February challenge will commence monday the 11th of February.
Good luck to you all and enjoy yourselves . . .
