THE HARDCORE MODELING MINI-CHALLENGE!
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square is a square in central London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London) that commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Trafalgar) (1805 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1805)), a British naval (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy) victory of the Napoleonic Wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars). The original name was to have been "King William the Fourth's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_IV_of_the_United_Kingdom) Square", but George Ledwell Taylor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Ledwell_Taylor) suggested the name "Trafalgar Square". Its coordinates are 51°30′28″N, 0°07′39″W (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/geo/geohack.php?params=51_30_28_N_0_07_39_W_region:GB_type:landmark)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafalgar_Square (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafalgar_Square)
THE CHALLENGE:___________________________
Sculpt a digital reproduction of Trafalgar_Square in 3D (Either the full plaza or part of it)..
You will only have 4 weeks.
CAN YOU DO IT?
What is the HARDCORE MODELING CHALLENGE?
The idea of these HARDCORE MINI CHALLENGES is to push the modeling skills participants while learning from the past. To get past preconceptions of the limits of digital art. To push digital artists into the world of sculptors & artisans. But we will have variety on these mini challenges. Sometimes we will sculpt a model based on a masterpiece, but on other times we might do Jet fighter or a landmark....
The only thing that will be consistent is the SHORT DATELINES.
In this challenge you may do:
Admiral Nelson Column (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson's_Column)
Sir Edwin Landseer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Henry_Landseer) Lions
The complete Trafalgar Square (Not for the feight of heart)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson's_Column)
Since this is a MODELING CHALLENGE we will concentrate on creating a realistic 3D copy of this famous Plaza or its details.
At the end of the challenge, the participant should have done a finished entry that looks EXACTLY like either a part of the Trafalgar Square or a Full representation of the Plaza. Keep in mind contest of high difficulty you will have FOUR WEEKS to do the challenge, but the rewards, even if you don't win, will be your improved skills in ADVANCED anatomy/ Animal modeling/ Architecture.
