So, another challenge has started, and naturally I'm in again :) I must admit, that I really have trouble finding a good idea for this one. But I'm sure about one thing: There must be at least one tiger in my piece! I just love those beautiful animals... The hard part though is finding a strange behaviour for them. Well, my first sketch has a tiger in it, buuuut I don't think this works that well. But I'll be back with more stuff soon :)

[Gord-MacDonald]

very nice!

Gord

[nandlaskar]

looking good buddy.
Only thing I wanted to suggest is try and make the mouse act funnier to add that extra energy to ur concept.
Best of luck for the challenge.:thumbsup:

[MartinNielsen]

Gord-MacDonald: Thanks buddy :)

CUBISIS: Thanks my friend :) And yes, I really need some fun and crazyness in this piece.

[musi]

Hey Martin,

Welcome to the challenge!

That tiger looks very nice! What is the story here?

Good luck!

[MartinNielsen]

musi: Thanks :) I think the story is about a mouse returning a hair strand to a tiger. But I won't use this setup anyway.

[W-I-L]

looking good. only crit is the mouse on the left looks a bit like a tiger and the tiger on right looks kind of mousy.... i would make it more obvious. perhaps use refernces

[Zycho]

Wow, that tiger is awsome! And the rat is nice too! I agree that the picture could benifit from some laughter, but else it's a great concept.

Godt arbejde mester!

[musi]

I just got an idea looking at your concept: what about if mouse is actually a circus tiger trainer, and holds a burning loop in one hand and a whip in the other :).

[M477]

Very nice! In terms of what the scene could be about, maybe you could have the mouse riding on top of the tiger using fur for reigns. That would be strange behaviour :)


Good luck

[MartinNielsen]

W-I-L: Thanks for the feedback, (you mean the tiger on the LEFT and the mouse on the RIGHT, right? ;)) But I don't think, I agree with that though.
Zycho: Thanks, mate :) And yeah, some more funny stuff will do the trick here :bounce: Btw, it's a mouse. Og godt at høre fra en landsmand... :wavey:

musi: Thanks again. Good idea :thumbsup:

M477: Thanks my friend :) Another good idea.

[Selina42]

Hey Martin!

WOW what a great image! Of course i have a soft spot for cute little mice so im loving this idea especially!

I'm especially excited by the two main characters -theyre beautiful and full of personality!

Will you leave the bg very simple or add some more detail to the concept through it?

And are you going to work this up in 2d or 3d?

Cant wait to see more as always!

[MartinNielsen]

Hey Selina :)

Thanks for comming. I just knew you would like that little mouse, and I was really thinking about your earlier work, when I painted it :thumbsup:

I think I'll add a more detailed background in the end. But I have some other ideas, I would like to try out first. Still with a tiger as a main character though :twisted:

The final image will be in 2d, maybe with some 3d elements.

[W-I-L]

lol i know it was a joke.. a very bad one at that.. i was in a funny mood.

[MartinNielsen]

He he, I suspected that :). But you never know with people around here. Some post the most strange feedback sometimes...

[Marcus_B]

I love the sketch

[Selina42]

Well im looking forward to watching your 2d process!

And im looking forward to seeing what other tiger concepts you come up with! I think its a lovely theme to work around!

[OKMER]

Hey Martin,nice to see you're in man!Great start and well, the usual "have fun"!!!:D
:beer: later buddy!

[PBCastle]

looks great! can't wait to see what your going to do with this...


=p

[Ivy00]

Your sketch is beautiful , ouchies for the mousie with that tiger whisker in his hand , hope he runs away fast :) I can't wait to see what other tiger concepts you come up with

[nwiz25]

hey bro! great to c u here man! good memories! :p :scream: :love: really love the concept u whipped up :eek: in fact pretty powerful take ... 'all things great and small ' :love:

this is gonna be fantastic! .. use these elements carefully to create something spectacular!

wishing u the very best bro! :thumbsup:

cheers! :beer:

[MartinNielsen]

Marcus_B: Thanks :)

Selina42: Well, for this challenge I won't use any fantasy characters. Strange characters do strange things, so I think it's too easy to go down that road. In my final piece I will only use natural looking elements, just with that little twist that generates the story of a strange behaviour. It's not an easy task, but why should it be?

OKMER: Thanks, you too :thumbsup:

PBCastle: Thanks to you :) Expect something new very soon ;)

Ivy00: Thank you :thumbsup: More to come soon :wip:

nwiz25: Hey hey! The ever so positive nwiz25 has finally come by :beer: Thank you so much.

Ok. Time for another sketch. This time I'll play with a theme of a white/colored tiger. I'm not sure what the transmission between the two states should be. One idea could be a mysterious strange behaviour within the tiger itself. Or I could add some mice around painting it. Maybe this tiger just want to be something else and made them do it!

[handlebar]

I love the mood of your sketches and the concept of the mice painting the white tiger with colour suits the mood very well.

:love:

[Latter]

It looks very, very nice:) I like the idea with the mice painting the tiger, but how about making it in a more cartoonish style and with different expression on the tigers face?

You could have the mice working as a (construction) team with one mouse being the boss holding a blueprint of the finished work. I don't know. Maybe it is a silly idea. :D

Anyway very nice work. I look forward to seeing your next update. :)

[Selina42]

Sorry for the long time in between posts! Loving your last image Martin! I'm really interested to see how you bring the twist into the concept and create the strange behaviour. I like your take on how to approach the idea and totally agree!

At this stage i wouldnt like to say what colour would best suit the tiger though -i think it might depend on what else you have going on in your scene if that makes sense.

Cant wait for the next update!

[MartinNielsen]

handlebar: Thanks :)

nwiz25: Thanks. Living in India I guess you're the expert in these matters :thumbsup:

Latter: Thanks for comming by and the feedback, champ. :applause:

Selina42: Hello again :) I'll post a new concept very soon.

[MartinNielsen]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1186692590_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1186692590_large.jpg)

Finally another concept. It's been a while since last time, but as you all know: a time for everything...

I really need to focus on one single concept from now on, and I'll definitely continue with this one. Nothing really strange goes on in this concept yet, but it's a great stage to start from. All I need is something really strange, that this wonderful tiger on the wonderful Diablo looks at...

[Ferx]

Oh man!! Hey Martin, is that a previsulization?? :eek: great and beautiful illustration !! I really enjoyed! I hope you can develope a good idea with the Diablo and the tiger ( if yo go for this concept take care with the reflections over the car, only a comment :) ) Great work !! and looking forward for more updates!

[MartinNielsen]

Ferx: Thanks :)

Well, I have this habbit of not knowing when to stop painting, so my "sketches" often end up being very detailed. The scene is still very open though, so there's still room for experimentation. :)

Yes, the tiger reflection isn't finished yet. Some more distortion and opacity would help maybe.

An idea: This tiger could be a model-type ready for a photography session, while a clown-like tiger suddenly falls through the ceiling from the studio above. :bounce:

[Frotze]

What if that wonderful tiger was dreaming of being able to drive that wonderful Diablo? (like all of us :))

[MartinNielsen]

Frotze: Good idea. :)

[nwiz25]

holy cow! :eek: wicked concept bro! :bounce: :buttrock: hehe .. yup yup all kinds of ideas will keep flowing in ... how about the tiger driving the diablo through beverly hills with the mouse as his companion :p :p :p :p

once again .. love your new concept man! hot hot hot! :applause:

[hollietree]

haha, what about the mice getting their own back on the cat? :D
i see them chasing the tiger in a monstertruck, or setting a cat-trap instead of a mouse-trap...bating the tiger with a piece of fish underneath a box with a stick.
or maybe just a huuuggeee mouse.

[MartinNielsen]

Just a small update. This is a very rich tiger.

[Dironik]

Amazing!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[MartinNielsen]

nwiz25: Thanks, buddy. Always good for a nice comment or two :thumbsup:

hollietree: Thanks. A sound suggestion, but I think I'll take this in a different direction :)

Deser: Thank you :bounce:


I think I'll add some more objects around, showing the tigers riches. In the air I'll show a vision. Something that a rich tiger just can't buy... And yes, I'll fix that reflection. Or maybe I could play around with that reflection in an artistic way :thumbsup:

[Latter]

Haha that is great idea. That certainly is strange behavioiur. :D I really like the colors and composition aswell.

If I can add a bit of constructive critisism... The left side of the tigers neck (from the viewers angle) looks a bit odd. I looks like the neck or jaw is a tad bit too short.

I like where you are going with this. :)

[bluemattersoda]

interesting idea - the fact that you paint it as though it's normal for the tiger to be like that adds to the comicalness (is that a word?). Though if your still in the market for ideas (you were asking for what the tiger was looking at), can I suggest maybe a mouse painting a portrait of him while hanging off the top, or something to contrast rich and poor (i was going to suggest some poor worker rat or something...but too serious i thought :P)...anyhow, the sketch looks great by itself. are you planning to illustrate or 3d?

[dondixon]

that is sooo cool! I think he needs a pipe! Maybe some slippers, or gators.

Back again. Now, a rich tiger always want the best for dinner. Not that frozen crap meat from the freezer. No, this tiger only want the best and "fresh" of course. So, what's for dinner this time, it's so hard to decide...

[MartinNielsen]

Latter: Thanks :)
Yes, there's defintely something wrong with that neck. I think it looks like the neck has just grown wrong. I need a more "turn head" pose.

bluemattersoda: Thank you :)
Funny idea you have there. But for now I think I'll add some more "pets" around, waiting to be the next dinner.

dondixon: And many thank to you :)
Great ideas :thumbsup: I'll try them out.

[Selina42]

Bloody hell Martin! -I'm not around for a couple of weeks and look what you come up with! Loving it -totally made me laugh! Fab stuff and glad to see youve got your concept!

[musi]

Hey Martin,

This is the best of them, man!:thumbsup: Love, just love colours! And idea! And specially the mood! :love:

What is he looking at? What this rich tiger can dream of? May be there should be some point of interest up there, in that corner. I don't know, it just feels somehow empty. May be just more contrast in coloring...
Hah, just noticed, that his hat doesn't cast shadow and doesn't reflect in the car surface :D! But then can also be a choice to leave it like this - after all, without all his money he is just a tiger.

Very well done, Martin!

[nethken]

this is looking fantastic! awesome rendering....

[Ferx]

Hey Martin, great and cool update mate!!:thumbsup: I love the pig detail hahahaha... nice!!! hahahaha :D
I'm agree with Musi about the "what is looking for? :D
Again, great work mate! :beer:

[blakbird]

This seems very impressive, have an atmosphere really!!!

[aghill]

Hi Martin. Haha this is so nice! I really like this.

The only thing I can say something about is that the reflection of the tiger dont follow the car form too good, making it look a bit flat on the front of the car. But otherwise its freekin nice. That tiger is spot on!

Keep up the good work!

[MartinNielsen]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1190068998_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1190068998_large.jpg)

This is my final "concept". I know this is a very strange (he he) way to do concept sketches. But I really had trouble getting the concept right this time, so I just started drawing... The scene shows this very rich tiger, who has living animals here and there around its big mansion, along with its most beloved possessions. The "dinner" clock starts ringning for lunch, and guess which animal's next?

[MartinNielsen]

Selina42: Thank you, Selina :) I really appreciate the encouragement.

musi: Thanks :)
DOH!!! I fixed the reflection, but forgot about the shadow. Well, next time then... I hope the scene makes more sense now with the "dinner" clock in place.

nethken: Thank you, champ :)

Ferx: And thanks to you too :) Like musi, I hope a cleared everything up for you.

LG: Thanks :)

aghill: Ahhh finally a visit from you :thumbsup: Thanks for your feedback. I fixed the reflection, and will soon fix the shadow. I really never saw the front of the car as a problem though. But maybe I'm wrong here.

[MartinNielsen]

Fixed the shadow.

A poor bird has been added to the collection of tasty animals.

[tarekmax]

woow what a great results I like the general atmoshpere :) .

[MartinNielsen]

More background and a hanging monkey. Yummy...

[MartinNielsen]

tarekmax: Thank you, mate :)

[musi]

Hi Martin,

Yep, that's better with shadow and reflection!:)
I like your clock design, but it's a bit difficult to see it's purpose... May be some golden mechanics behind it will help?
And addition of all those animals is really good! I just love the expression of that bird :thumbsup:
And whatever it is on the background there (looks like mirror or water tank) is a nice element, adds some richness to the composition. I guess you are going to refine it, but like it's mystery.

Good job, Martin!

[MartinNielsen]

Thanks musi. :) I'll redo the background, 'cause it's not working a the moment. Also the clock will be completed.

[nwiz25]

gosh! :eek: i really did miss so much back here! :eek: love the colours and entire smokey atmosphere! :p tho u mentioned u gonna change the background ... ( very curious to see that next update ;) ) ... just a suggestion bro .. since he is so rich .. he must be having servants n all ... like .. you can show one wiping his car ... or brushing his fur ... serving food ... etc .. actually there are so many many things ... but me really eager to see what u gonna come up with .. :p :p

cheers bro! :beer:

[MartinNielsen]

New background. The left side still needs work, and the clock of course.

[MartinNielsen]

nwiz25: Thank again, (you 're really good at cheering :))

Yes, that's a good idea, and I thought of that myself. Maybe I can find some room for it.

[MartinNielsen]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1191189753_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1191189753_large.jpg)

Just a few updates.

[Hiun]

I have to be honest.... I don't know you, but I assume you must be some kind of character.:) This is a very funny image, I don't know why or how you came up with this but this is great stuff. A rich Tiger with a healthy appetite haha:D . The gesture of the Tiger is really strong... I can see the pompousness in him (lovely angle on head). Getting the animals to looks sad is subtle and well executed... at quick glance they seem like animals hanging out until you look closer. This is coming along great... I just have one critique if I may. The atmosphere, though in concept has depth, is too similar to the color of the car and just as soft as the foreground curtains. Darkening and sharpening the contrast on those curtains and on the front of the car should pull them forward. Great work Martin:thumbsup:

[MartinNielsen]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1191276272_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13564/13564_1191276272_large.jpg)

More details and color changes.

[MartinNielsen]

Hiun: Thanks for the the critique and kind words :) I did some changes with the colors.

[Ferx]

Hey Martin, wonderful update mate!!! I like a lot your concept, cool!!:thumbsup: (is a whale, dolphin or shark that hangs on the back ground??). I think the curtains need a more satin texture, for the luxurious room, only a comment :) Cheers :beer:

[Hiun]

Nice! I love that color update. That extra gold lighting sure pulled it forward. Excellent tweak. It's a lot stronger. Good progress :buttrock:

[nwiz25]

absolutely brilliant! :eek: i totally agree with Hiun! that gold lighting really brings out the scene ever more :p
one thing that caught my attention ... the bird cage .. i think the rod is a little tilted
all in all .. wonderful execution! :applause:

[MartinNielsen]

Ferx: Thanks man. :) I think it's a whale, waiting for that biiiig feast! Satin cloth is a good idea, I'll look into it.

Hiun: Thanks pal. :) I must say, it was some very good points, you came up with. Thanks again :thumbsup:

nwiz25: Aahhh, my greatest supporter is back! Thanks again my friend :) I'll fix that cage :thumbsup:

[chaitanyak]

thats a lot of animals! great idea.

[musi]

Oh yeah, that's it, Martin!
I would say you are almost there!:D

[MartinNielsen]

More details added here and there.

[MartinNielsen]

chaitanyak: Thanks :)
Yes it is. A rich fat hungry tiger needs something by the hand all the time. :twisted:

musi: Thanks again :love:You're a great support for me in this challenge.
And yes, I'm almost there. I think I'll add some detals here and there for the rest of the time. The crunch time at my job is comming though, so it won't be much. This IS very close to my final.
:bounce: Weeee!!! I completed another challenge!!! :bounce:

[Hiun]

I see you have been busy!:thumbsup: Nice color update on the monkey! The little details are the most magical :thumbsup: Hey Martin... I just realized that the black sillohette in front of the new plant is the car's spoiler. I know it's back there, but maybe just a slight... very slight hint of light to shape it a little. Now that the plant is behind there, the black just looks like a mistake. A touch of blue grey should do the trick. All in all Great work Martin!:thumbsup:

[MartinNielsen]

Hiun: Thanks :) I see your point now, and I'll fix it next time :thumbsup:

[nwiz25]

bro .. im outta words .. :cry:


i think this says it all

:bowdown:

I just took a look at my older sketches in this challenge, and found an idea for a cameo for the mouse. Two of them actually.

[MartinNielsen]

nwiz25: He he, you surely know how to cheer for people, metal-painting-man :) Thank you once again :thumbsup:
But let's face it: I'm not that good yet - no master of painting :arteest:

[Hiun]

:scream: haha.. Very very nice cameos. :thumbsup:

[MartinNielsen]

Hiun: Yeah, really "nice" cameos... Damn furry bastards. Ruin lunch and everything :argh:

Oh! by the way: thanks again :)

[Ordibble-Plop]

Great work here - it sort of reminds me of the Doors' song about a fat cat in a top hat.

I like the addition of the mice as it adds a completely new dimension to the picture. To reinforce that they are trying to help the other animals escape, I wonder if the one near the pig could have the cord between his paws and be gnawing on it trying to cut it through before the clock strikes - that might add a bit of tension as well - will he make it in time or not?

[MartinNielsen]

Ordibble P. Lop: Thanks :) And good idea :thumbsup:

[ashiataka]

Hi Martin, that's a strange idea and nicely painted as well. Cheers!

[Korendo]

Oh the glory of being at the top of the food chain and the horror of not! Superb execution of this illustration fits well for this type of subject matter.

I wonder if your lion has ever met the two legged Alien Elvis Tiger who works as a Plumber in my silly image?

[musi]

Hi Martin,

This is looking better and better every time I visit it!
Good job, Martin! :thumbsup:

[Ferx]

Hey Martin, really great!! I like a lot the mice addition, cool touch!! hahahaha ( and the mouse on the snake's vase is really brave.. hahahaha :D ) Awesome work my friend !! Cheers!! :beer:

Two more furry helpers to the rescue.

[MartinNielsen]

ashiataka: Thanks :) And cheers to you :beer:

Korendo: Thank you very much :) I hope you're aware of the fact, that it is actually a tiger I'm painting and not a lion? :thumbsup:

musi: Thanks again my friend :) Always good for some encouragement :love:

Ferx: Thanks champ :)

[jocz]

I like the atmosphere of your work,
could be cool to do an animation in this little world =)

[Dutchman]

I like the very interesting mood and look you've created! :thumbsup: The mix of all those clean-shaded elements, give together a very twisted and surreal picture. And that's something great! :bounce: Both technically (your shapes and lighting are very good!) as artistic your image gives me an idea of this 'strange behavior'! ;)

All the best on the upcoming week: do you have allot work left?

[MartinNielsen]

jocz: Thanks buddy :) Yes, it could be great with an animation, and I have thought of that. But I doubt I find the time :sad:

Dutchman: Thanks my friend :) I think I'm very close to finish this. Maybe I'll add some tiger cubs around, and one of them discovers a mouse :twisted:

[Jeffparadox]

Hey Martin -

Lots of details, so much work you got here! i really like the continuity of the characters' actions. It's like they all are connected somehow? Maybe you'll tell us how with your finalized image... :D

Keep up the good work! :beer:

[Korendo]

I will have to talk with the people at Cyberdine Systems, my positronic brain has a malfunction or it could be the months of sleep derivation catching up with me. Or maybe it's the king of the jungle motif dyslexicly correlating with lions - king of the jungle…it’s late need sleep…humm ceral.. So glad you are at the top of the food chain and expressing incredible artwork. :applause:

[Hiun]

You are probably busy being very critical of your work :D I just await that Final Image Post! All this EXCITEMENT!:bounce:

[MartinNielsen]

Jeffparadox: Thanks man :) And yes, you'll get the whole story soon :deal:

Korendo: It's really very simple: Tigers have stripes, lions don't. :rolleyes:

Hiun: hehehe... Yes, I'm extremely busy at the moment. But not with this piece. Work's calling... :shrug:

[Ferx]

Hey Martin, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I love the mouse with the candle!!! superb touch my friend!!! :D You rock yeaaaa :buttrock:

[Hideyoshi]

hey, this is nice! Great render and the pig is a funny touch! :)

[Peter-Eriksson]

Good work man! Like your gallery on your home page :-)
Three days left right? Good luck!
/peter

[OKMER]

Hi MArtin!Great work buddy!!!One though would be to play around maybe some more with fore,mid and background elements, to bring in even more depth as there already is.Maybe some blur or desaturing background.Anyway nice clean and great,great work man!!!All the very best of luck to you on the final man!Hope to see you're in the next challenge!
Cheers buddy!

And so I finally reached the final. Here's the story:

This tiger is extremely wealthy. I has become so by eliminating every other big cats in the world, and therefore it is the undisputed king of all animals now. It lives in a huge mansion with all it's beloved treasures around. Especially the beautiful Diablo, which it loves so much and uses as couch. Another thing this tiger loves is food, fresh food. There are animals ready for dinner all around the mansion, and a nearby clock shows whenever it is time for a bite. A gang of mice has decided to rebel against the tiger though. And in a daring rescure mission the mice will try to free all animals in one simultaneous operation. They have to act fast though, because it is almost lunchtime, and the poor little pig has a death mark! To make things even worse the little, but rather nasty, tiger cub has spotted something unusual in the room. The big drama can begin...

[Hiun]

WOW... This has surely come together beautifully Martin. Especially that addition of the Tiger cub... got me by surprise there. Your ability to capture the animals so well is an achievement all on it's own, especially the Tigers. I wish you all the best my friend!:thumbsup:

[MartinNielsen]

Ferx: Thanks buddy. :) Glad you like it :beer:

Hideyoshi: And thanks to you.:) Let's hope the poor thing escapes in time :eek:

coolkonrad: Thanks man, great you came by here. :wavey: And thanks for visiting my site too :beer:
OKMER: Hey champ. Many thanks for visiting. :) I don't have anymore time for this piece, but thanks for the feedback anyway. You bet I'll be in the next challenge. This is sooooo great :bounce:

Finally I would like to thank everybody who visited my thread and gave me all the support. This is what keeps me going. See you all in the next challenge. Bye bye :wavey:

[MartinNielsen]

Hiun: And thanks to you my friend. :beer: See you next time :wavey:

[Ordibble-Plop]

Congratulations on finishing - you beat the dinner bell. Your pictue looks very lush :thumbsup:

[Korendo]

Greetings Martin,

The dangling mouse with the candle is a nice touch and like Kamal said the Tiger cub is quite a surprise. Congratulations and best of luck,

Ordibble P. Lop: Thanks buddy :) I just received a mail saying that the deadline now is nov 15. We have all the time in the world :bounce: But I don't think I'll make any changes, maybe...

Korendo: Thanks :) Yes, that tiger cub was a sudden last minute idea. :eek:

Hey Martin, really awesome work! and I like a lot the story :D That mice are really brave!
and the tiger´s cub addition is a really cool touch my friend! great. The atmospheric sensation of the room is amazing ( I can hear the fountain and many jungle sounds :D ) and surely is a big big room if the tiger has a whale hanged on it. :) And like a lot the contrast between a superb pice of machinery (the Lamborgini Diablo) and IMO the most beautiful and letal cat, the tiger. The pig pose is really nice, looking to the tiger ... "oh i´m the next on the list" hahahahah, cool. The mouse with the candle is a wonderful touch!. Martin I really enjoy ever single detail in your painting and was a great experience to see the great development on your concept, Congratulations my friend !! and good luck !! ..............and................. yes......now time for well deserved cold beers!!! yeaaaa !! and a big bottle of tequila!! Cheers my friend ! :beer:

Wow. This has come along really nice Martin. I love how you incorporate the story and the very weird behavior! Theres alot of "hidden" suspence in the scene. I like it alot!

Very good job. Good luck!
