Myself (Len Van der Westhuizen – Brokenlight), Jonathan Williamson (www.montagestudio.org ) and Derek Marsh (BgDM at Blenderartists.org ) have just launched a really exciting contest at Blenderartists.org . It's all about creating realistic and lifelike human portraits by using Blender 3d. Let me tell you, Blender is more than capable of pulling this off, especially with the fairly recent development in SSS, and the new hair particle system.
We also have some awesome prizes. http://3d.sk is sponsoring a ONE YEAR PREMIUM membership valued at 1290 EUR as the 1st prize! They also supplied us with seven sets (three pics per set) of high quality portrait reference/textures pics for entrants to use! Artists will then also stand a good chance of having their art published under the "User Works" section of http://3d.sk , giving them even more exposure. Peter from http://3d.sk has also joined us as a judge. His expertise is a great addition to the team.
"Jonathan Willamson from www.montagestudio.org is sponsoring a whole bunch of his brilliant training dvd's. I can speak from personal experience that these are ACE quality. www.montagestudio.org is also sponsoring a "Total Textures Humans and Creatures texture" dvd from 3DTotal".
I really hope to see A LOT of entries! But let me say this, in case these awesome prizes aren't enough to inspire artists to enter, know this … a "little birdy" has told me that Project Durian will be watching this contest closely …"

Note: Durian is the "code name" for Ton Roosendaal's ( whom loves fruit names) next open movie project. It is essentially a loud, special FX, shoot em up, with lots of action, movie. An oppisite of the "warm and fuzzy" Peach (Big Buck Bunny) project.
