Wow, there are some great pieces here! Here is my last minute entry. I spent most of my time on my 3d entry... but I had to satisfy the 2d itch. So here is my General Lee Krazie portrait.

Beautiful work, Ataulfo.

My General is not gonna make submission; he's nowhere near but here's my latest WIP and I'll pop it into cgsociety 2D wips to get some help and progress my ability for next time.

Looking forward to the next mini-challenge and good luck to all of you! There's so much awesome work here, I've learnt a lot from you guys. AMazing work :)

[g3p]

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u255/Pancho2099/wip13.jpg

That's personal.

I have more time to devote myself to that image tomorrow, then I will finish anyway.

Missed more medals and setting the curtains and pointed out by Derricksong, thanx man, but that's it.

alea jact est.

DerrickSong, sorry man, i don't have time to make a adjustments in background, but in next time i more pay attetion. thanx for show me this.

Ferx, the track. no qhat i want but the track possible make in time.

ektho, Now s final, is still to see if you like. I have changed a little but trying to do better.

NavigatorJones, I wanted to try something like a living dead, but cooled too much to see that image, I chose something that was not necessarily a red or something close to a common skin tone.

The purple one I remembered when I saw the same placenta placenta where my son was born ... I found a good memory especially with the details that gave the skin.

trying to leave more different.
I hope you enjoyed.

and all... welcome c/c.
see ya!

Working towards last day. This has been a fast week for sure!!!
Still have to render sword and finish cloth.
Thanks to Ferx and Krypt for the comments - I really appreciate it.

[Ferx]

Sadrack - Think you have much "air" over your character, perhaps you need to enlarge your canvas to down and put more legs part on the image. The pose is really great ( Creo que debes extender la imagen hacia abajo y que se vean mas piernas , o recorta un poco el cielo, o puedes hacer mas grande el tocado, con algunas plumas verticales para ocupar mas ese espacio :) )

Lostpencil - cool concept, I liked a lot :D

Powerzuul - really funny and cool idea, great general :D

Iban - great update, simply awesome details on your image, great!


Everybody are working great!! ( promise more comments on the next post :))

IM FINALLY FINISHED!! Great work everyone, and good luck to you all!!

A little back story: General Edmond Kayne was one of the most decorated and ruthless war mongers in history. When a devastating defeat claimed his life, his unquenchable blood lust and hatred made him the perfect candidate to command the armies of hell in his gruesome afterlife.

Please let me know what you think!

Attached to the role of autobiography:

Legend in the Ancient Near East, there is a twin tower, the locals call it evil tower. This tower engulfed around perennial organisms, making a radius of hundreds of years people have not. But one day, when after a monster here, the evil tower suddenly changed, only one split into two towers, located in the monster's shoulders, forming his combat gear. The tower of evil for thousands of years of energy savings him instantly into the body. Since then, the monster with the name: Evil Eye.
It was not clear who in the end are evil tower control him, or him win the support of the evil tower, but there is one thing to determine, from the Evil Eye has control of the forces of nature!

General Papapalupalu... a Philippine inspired war general... hailing from the mountains of Palu-palu... Representing the tribe of Ah-ling Mil'ing... Once a festive tribe, until one day when another tribe ravaged their land and their people... Gen. Papapalupalu led his warriors to exact revenge against their rival tribe, the tribe of Man-ong Bah-dong... Upto this day the name of Gen. Papapalupalu is feared by people who try to oppose the Ah-ling Mil'ing tribe.... (fictional story... lol :))

Hi all,

I know this might be stupied question, but I was reading up that there was going to be 2 mini compeitions, is that true, or is it talking about the 2d and 3d being the 2, just wondering

this is where i read it http://www.3dtotal.com/articles/dominance_war4/domwar.asp

cheers,

[syrez-one]

wow, great new additions, cgs is gonna rock ;)

syrez-one- looking good, the one below is brighter, but i like the one above, the background blends more with your character, giving it a more darkness feel to your painting, but both are good, cheers

I decided to put a really cheesy frame around it, which maybe stands on the nightstand of his proud mommy...:-D

I also decided to call him Junior, it seemed to fit him! :-)

What else...I decided to put the logo on his collar + on his hat, and also put a grain over the portrait to make it look a bit more 'worn'. I did have to rush the frame a bit, but I wanted it in there, as I thought it would add to the whole 'mommy is proud' backstory....:P

All comments welcome, and good luck to everyone still fighting the deadline! Hang in there, you are almost there! :-p

[jushra]

Studiomonkey: Great work on the face. Love the tones. The jacket textures seems a bit to 'overlayed', there should be some deformations where the bends and folds are.

rhemrev: Great humor and concept on this.

Klozz: Push your lights and shadows, don't be afraid of showing some brushwork. Potential is there for greatness.

jhaeffner: Nice to see Lost hasn't killed your General! The sword seems a bit disjointed, I would somehow compose it closer to the General. Looking forward to seeing it complete.

Gyorkland: Hell, that was fast. Nice work.

waracle: Tighten things up. Keep pushing it.

naito: Nice work.

Ataulfo: Great work on the face. I'd like to see more complimentary colors, but the color scheme you have works well.

Airflow: Not sure if I would call it done just yet. There is plenty more you can do.

Solblomma - don't stress dude, that's such a great pic and I love the background

[EarVant]

@ Bluntpencil: Would u mind telling me how you rendered/painted the left shoulder of your General? The shoulder with the animal fur armor. I'm kinda new at digital painting (same for analog) and having some issues choosing brushes and certain techniques when it comes to hair/fur... thnx.

[solblomma]

madbot: thank you very much :) i really appreciate it.

now i've gotten a head ache and other work is starting to pile up so i have to put the picture aside.

@ Bluntpencil: Would u mind telling me how you rendered/painted the left shoulder of your General? The shoulder with the animal fur armor. I'm kinda new at digital painting (same for analog) and having some issues choosing brushes and certain techniques when it comes to hair/fur... thnx.

Certainly. I painted it with a custom brush I made in Painter, based off one of the Oil Pastel brushes, but altered a bit to fit my tastes. Then I more or less just built up the shape and added lots and lots of tufts of hair. When I considered the image done, it all got a smattering of textures on top, just to make stuff *pop* a little more.

[rhemrev]

Jushra: Thanx man, I enjoyed making it! :)

Ikpo: Not sure if I'm looking at an animal or a tree-man....but cool nonetheless! :-)

Didde: You managed to put in quite alot of work in your painting since last time I saw it, it came out pretty cool! AND you got a frame too! :-D Frames rule! :-P

Klozz: Interesting style, looks still very clean though?

Bluntpencil: So cool that you made it a bit more 'gritty', as your last version was quite digital looking.....readability of both the master and the pet's head has greatly improved aswell! Nice!

Zuczus: MORE FOREHEAD! MORE FOREHEAD! :-D Cool stuff, hope you'll be able to finish it!

Staticpen: very nice and subtle entry, I like it.

Sadrack: I like the insects man! But somehow your image feels stretched in witdth, i'd be curious to see what would happen if you squashed it a bit...:P

Solblomma: almost looksl ike a movieposter! It's one weird dude! :-p

Good luck everyone!

[sadrack]

Hi rhemrev

firts, your image is stunning,one of the best for my opinion, you say squash in vertical axis a bit?, or open more background, thanks,

S,


like this?, dont care for the feather i need tweak again.

Deciding type of armour for mongol Ghenghis khan general

[nzrkiwi]

decided on helmet type siimliar to ghenghis kan helmet in the russian movie based on ghenghis khan, though a chain male would look neat.

[nzrkiwi]

Thinking of where is hould put the logo my son gave a comment so i decided to put it on his front breast plate

Sadrack - think your last update is cool, less squash (agree with rhemrev) (tal vez si metes de nuevo plumas, que sigan la ondulación de la parte final del cinpies, abriendose en abanico hacia arriba, para mantener la composición de espiral :) )

Solblomma - Cool character :D and nice background! Congratulations !!

Staticpen - nice work! Congratulations for your finale!!

Zuczus - looking nice, hope you have time to finish :)

Bluntpencil - Great image, really nice concept. Congratulations! Cheers!!

Ataulfo - Iban, awesome character, really great portrait!! Best of luck!! ( y no creo que haya problema por lo del año :))

My Final Image.

It came down to the line and I had to stop detailing it. I think it came out pretty cool and I've learned a good deal.

The Child General, War General Parvula:
Young she may appear but merciless is this mastermind. Since birth, she has caused fear from her dark well of knowledge. She was genetically engineered to retain the knowledge of many great leaders and conquerors. An unexpected side effect from the engineering has given her mind terrifying telepathic powers. With this augmented talent, she can command and create the most devoted legions and dominate the greatest of enemies. With each day her power and knowledge grows. Those that know of her cower to think of her vile potential.

Well, I think I've gotten as far as I can tonight. I just have got to go to bed so I can be at work tomorrow. I ended up picking a bit of a cheesy name, Zhang Chunfu (Spring Fortune).

Hello! Everyone post a great work.The thread has been very inspiring, you can learn from all. Thank you very much for the comments, though I would comment more ...I have already submitted the final image, but here I put a attachment of 97kb because I do not know of another way, sorry ...

[StarSewn]

yeah yeah..i know..i'm doing this *backwards* I DID already post my final image to both this thread and gameartisan......but here are some WIP's anyway. one issue i'm having is getting my images to post in the body of the Post. oh well. Anyway...Wip images include my original sketch, which seems kind of awkward to me now...I'm glad I changed it in the painting. The other two show my basic paint layers, and beginning to incorporate the logo into the helm.

My overall idea for this concept was to take the CG Society logo the centerpiece. The dragonesque form of my character therefore came from the serpents in the center of the logo. I tried to 'halo' the rest of the design around him, incorporating it as the helmet. Hope it works.

[StarSewn]

Man, even more great pieces, folks. I gotta give props out to Okmer though...dude, that is an amazing piece. It is going straight in my folder of stuff to be inspired by.

Also, can't believe I forgot to put my name and email on my piece... >_<

[Yone]

Hi just posting my final image on the thread.

I did finish it on time and submitted it to DW but was just too shattered to post it here.

Okmer - Amazing general. I love the lines in the background. How do you do stuff like that?

Reklas - Great final submission even though you changed your concept the final image is really cool.

Ferx - Great work on bringing that character to life. Thanks for all your constant feed back for everyone on the forum "Muchas gracias."

Looking at my final image I think the design got too cluttered and I just couldn't render a good metalic look for the Armour. There are somethings that I am just too used to doing with lines. I need to learn how to make hair and sharp edges for metal.

Looking forward to see you all in the next challenge.

Congrats all! I hope our team wins! (we totally will! XD)

Anyone know how the voting starts? Do WE get to vote? Because its the 5th for me already, but I just went to the site and I see no way of voting, though it does have a 'submit vote' button...any ideas? Or perhaps they haven't set it up for voting yet? Also, Heavyness, if you're reading this, can we vote for multiple pictures or only the one??

Cheers mate

Goodluck everyone! Fantastic job! :D :beer: :beer:

[heavyness]

- Public voting starts Thursday March 5th to March 8th to find each team's best 5. Each team’s best 5 entries then gather together into a single pool and a grand mini champion chosen and announced with all other Dominance War IV event champions in June.

so check the DWIV site tomorrow.

[EricClaeys]

Sorry for the flood of images here. I finally got some time tonight to start (and finish) my entry. I wanted to create a demon-general with his little pet. It was pretty quick, but I think it turned out well.

Basically, I sketched it out, blocked in the shapes, added base values, color overlays, and then finer details and such.

Good luck to everyone in the contest, except for Izuael, as he shamelessly copied my idea with the photo on the hat, and is passing it of as its own. Lame man, just lame. *sigh*

[geikou]

Argh, we have to vote for 1st through 5th place? Why can't we just pick 5? It's hard enough to choose only 5. But to have to pick an order for them too? >_< *sigh*

And I wish it would take you to a page that says "thank you for your vote" or something so that we know for sure it went through...

[Edit]
Never mind. Reloading the page after voting, the drop-down menus have disappeared. So I guess mine registered!

[BaronImpossible]

How to people know where to go to vote? Has there been some announcement that I missed? The DW home page says the contest is still ongoing (although it has the close date of 2nd March). It's so weird how people know these things... :shrug:

[ROBOTTANK]

rhemrev; I thought the same thing when I first saw that image, I actually thought it was a joke, but apparently he was serious. Izuael did say his image was a comedic portrait of his teacher or something, so maybe he through in your photo idea to add to the humor, I don't know...On the other hand, just imagine how many spin-offs we will see in the main challenge. That's the only reason why it sucks to show WIP's. Many 'original' ideas will be copied, unfortunately.

[Jsac]

rhemrev : i'm sorry for you man. It happened to me too, there are about two or three others that made a general with a bear head . I've posted from the first days, even the drawing on paper. Unbeliveble !

I believe that although 2 works have the same source of inspiration never are going to be equal in the end, off course are possible to be made damage because they kill the originality.

Oh, and don't forget to bring out your vote for the other forums aswell, some excellent work there aswell! :)

And I too am curious when we're gonna hear which 5 go on to the next round?

I was also wondering if we can win something with this contest (besides fame and bragging rights), which actually never crossed my mind untill a collegue of mine asked me......:)

-Edwin

[sadrack]

hi

rhemrev: My commentary was not your case, jeje I believe you are right since the use of something yours so as without your consent is no good, i guess is a joke.

I comment it but generally for the similarity of certain ideas, the reality that all we are influenced by the TV, cinema, comics,etc… the ideas can be similar, are 4 images with natives( one is mine), 4 or more with generals of the confederation, 20 to monster, etc, but each one are particular, who put the firts monster have the exclusivity of this kind of image?.

I believe that development WIP is super positive since it forces to you expose the evolution of your work, you can see it like a limitation or as a benefit , for the commentaries,critics,etc.. the true is I had few only, but help me a lot, every one sees it by different way.

Woah take it easy man. I didn't do it on purpose. I'm sorry.
I intended to add a photo off another teacher a long time, but there wasn't much room anywhere except in the hat, which I regret I did when I saw yours. And yes, it's a joke painting with inside jokes from school, I didn't plan on winning so I just wanted to do something silly and have fun.
Stuff like this happens all the time, don't have to go after me with pitchforks and torches like I'm Frankenstein...
If I could go back and change it, I would.

[rhemrev]

Ok man, all's good, never mind :) Never did intend to start a discussion on this topic.

As some of the other guys already mentioned, when hundreds of people are drawing the same topic, it is bound to result in some similar entries,ideas and spinoffs.

So let's not dwell on this anymore, and start votinggg! :D

I still have 4 more forums to vote for, just so many good stuff to choose from! :D

As some of the other guys already mentioned, when hundreds of people are drawing the same topic, it is bound to result in some similar entries,ideas and spinoffs.

So let's not dwell on this anymore, and start votinggg! :D

I still have 4 more forums to vote for, just so many good stuff to choose from! :D

Back to work,
-E-

:)
Again, I'm sorry. Yours is way more funny than mine anyway. :thumbsup:

[j4Q]

j4Q - I wouldn't worry, it's only a bit of fun. Unless you get in the bottom 5, in which case you get banned from CGSociety. Didn't you read that part? ;)

Ah yes and you also get blackballed from all digital art societies for five years. It's a shame but it has to be done.....

(Simon- Hi, ImagineFX article buddy! Feb issue, I was near the end and you were at the beginning..)

(Simon- Hi, ImagineFX article buddy! Feb issue, I was near the end and you were at the beginning..)

I was? I wonder what that was about (nobody tells me anything ;) ) Tell you what, when they eventually get round to sending me my 12 months subscription that I won, like, 8 months ago, I'll check it out. Until then accept my congratulations for getting in even though I haven't seen your article :thumbsup:

It would add a bit of fun, though... :twisted:

[j4Q]

LOL very funny :)

[paperclip]

OUR article. ;) It was about coming up with new ideas...although I wouldn't even have known about it if Michael Dashow hadn't told me! 12 month subscription? Nice!

....anyone know when the results of this mini-challenge will be out? General Poodly says thanks to rhemrev for voting for him. Actually, what he really said was 'grfff grind brgh!', but the intention was there.

Oh right, I do recall Mike saying something about that now you come to mention it. New ideas, eh, I could do with reading it right now :)

12 month subscription? Nice!

If I ever get it I reckon, yep.

....anyone know when the results of this mini-challenge will be out? General Poodly says thanks to rhemrev for voting for him. Actually, what he really said was 'grfff grind brgh!', but the intention was there.

Someone said June, I think, but I'm likely wrong.

[paperclip]

What did you win it for? Wish I could get a 12 month subscription, it's such an expensive magazine....worth it now and again, but still expensive!

June? I didn't know it was that long off- I thought the top 5 got through earlier on or something...again, I have no idea.

[darkriddles]

Phew finished voting! it's been really hard to pick just five generals!! and theres the other forums too... took me ages!D;

>paperclip
oh as for the result, apparently the mini challenge grand champions will be announced in june, along with the grand champions from the other challenges.. but wonder when exactly:( maybe we just have to wait and see until the public voting closes :@

The last challenge (Uplift)... if you remember that far back! :)

[paperclip]

The last challenge (Uplift)... if you remember that far back! :)

That's fairly long ago, yes! I have to say though that quite a few people don't seem to get some of the items for their challenge prize- I won Softimage XSI foundation and I recieved that, but the Stash SIXPACK 2 (6 DVD set) never arrived...ah well! Might be worth emailing them and asking?

I chased it up at the time but nothing came of it so I guess I'm not that bothered. Kind of grates when I think how much free stuff they've had off me over the years but still, no worries - we'll have plenty to occupy our minds come 12th March :)

[Ferx]

Hey Simon

How was the work like judge for the "Steampunk challenge" ? :) You not miss the dark side of the force? :D

[paperclip]

He WAS the dark side of the force as judge....why do you think all his favourites won? ;)

And yes, 12th March is not that far off...wonder what the theme will be...

[BaronImpossible]

Ferx - judging was real tricky and believe it or not, even using the dark side of the force couldn't get me all my own way when it came to the winners, despite what Paperclip says :D Too many damn good artists around nowadays, what's the world coming to..?

Paperclip, I guess the theme is always game related so it's pretty much a new way of working for me. I think that last one had loads of mandatory stages, like concept thumbs, WIPs, character profiles (you know, side view, front view) as well as the final image. Will be interesting...

That'll be a new one for me as well, should be fun. I like the idea of rendering the same character from different views, we'll be able to include a lot more in it! I'm going to look at the previous wars to see what's expected.

P.s-always wondered if the judges ever had anyone bribing them? Although I'm not quite sure how that would work over email, but after all using the force you'd be able to feel the presents.:D

[BaronImpossible]

[OZOZOZ]

thank you for your help. it's a pity, i didn't know that :(

[NavigatorJones]

Oh no OZOZOZ, that sucks :( It is a bit hard to keep track of all the info on this thing, there's bits and peices all over the place hidden under mountains of posts :surprised

[OZOZOZ]

NavigatorJones, so, nothing to do with that... this is war :)))

[syrez-one]

Simon, you never got your IFX subscription? I got mine, after pestering Claire Howlett (IFX's editor) about it. And I did pester on your behalf: I specifically mentioned how they had this nice little article about you and I winning the challenge and we both still hadn't received our subscriptions yet. So I'm disappointed to learn that my prodding was in the end only half successful. Give Claire a ping... and if you don't have her contact info, PM me and I'll give it to you.

[Ferx]

Hey Remko,
You need to add some rum, whisky, tequila, brandy ( ... the choices are many :D) for the coffee to work ( or go for a "Mimosa" = orange juice with champagne, that ever works fine :D)

Good luck (you dont need it :D) and all the best for you :) Cheers! :beer:

Thanks for campaigning on my behalf, Mike, that's much appreciated! I'm genuinely glad it paid off in your case :)

My thinking now is that IFX's reluctance to honour their commitments leaves a pretty bad taste so I don't think I'll chase it up further. Notwithstanding that it's a legal contract I'd hoped some good will would have figured but still, all in the past now.

Oh, and BTW I was checking out Dominance Wars site and I saw your artwork up there in pride of place - the eel dude and his octopus. Excellent! I may give this DW a try so hopefully I'll see you there (or here, or however it works).

[walrus]

Hey, Simon! Completely up to you if you don't want to pursue it. Myself, I love the magazine and my personal subscription ended, so I figured I'd bug them for my free copies because I was going to be getting the mag anyhow. I tend to ascribe the lack of follow-through not on company-wide refusal to honor a contract and more just personal "oops it slipped through the cracks because it's not any particular person's responsibility." Still, i know it's annoying: I had an even worse problem with getting my copy of Manga Studio 3 from E-on from 4 Challenges ago - it took close to 8 months! But it turned out, it had fallen through the cracks because the person responsible lef the company, blah blah blah. Still, if you're bothered by it (and you should be!) you could ask the folks here at CGSociety (Like Scott Stahey, maybe?) to follow up for you. Or not.

Back on topic, yes, I placed last year with the CGSociety "team." This year, I'm going to be playing for team 'Game Artisans' because I've been really active over there in the past 6 months. It was a really tough choice and I'll miss folks here... but I also don't really care that much about "teams" anyhow because the awards all celebrate individual achivement, so I'll probably drop in here and there, if people don't mind my being around. (And people are welcome to check out my thread for DW over there, too!) I'll be entering the main event for 2D again this year, but to change things up, I did my mini-comp entry (http://www.drawingboard.org/blogs/walrus/) in the 3D division. Some great work over here, in both 2D and 3D, and looking forward to seeing you all for the big challenge... good luck, all!

[BaronImpossible]

Cheers, Mike, good advice, you're probably right! Sometimes I have an artistic temperament (although others may call it differently ;) )

Looks like I'll have to keep an eye on the Game Artisans forum, then! I'm embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of Game Artisans - or Dominance Wars - until I saw this mini challenge. I need to get out more! I reckon it will be interesting, though, and like you I'm not fussed about the team aspect as long as it's a good laugh. Good luck to you too - and to everyone else - and may the best man - woman - team - whatever - win! :)

[walrus]

That's exactly where I was last year: I hadn't heard of GA 'til I did Dominance War 3, and even then, I didn't spend any time there after the war was over. But when I was unemployed last fall, I wandered over there, found they had some great mini-comps (they do them all the time over there) and started participating in earnest. it's been a lot of fun, and it's especially helped me to expand my 3D texturing skills (but yes, I still do 2D work too!)

[OKMER]

hehe Fernando :)

You need to add some rum, whisky, tequila, brandy
I'll go for the Rum:)

"Mimosa" = orange juice with champagne, that ever works fine :D
Strangely enough, it do sounds kinda refreshing ;)
Cheers mate!

Here we can quote Abba...

Though I never thought
that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando

so appropriate... :)

A question- where do we post for the DW challenge? Here? Or will they open a new thread?


Mike:
I'll miss you. :( Sure you don't want to stay with us for this one... ah, go on...please? It'll be like old times! :beer:

Hey Theresa,
cool quote and cool song :D :thumbsup:

About the question : When DW IV begins, everyone will need to open a thread to post the progress and updates, under a general thread for DW IV, here on CGsociety forum. For this challenge don't be a submision system like on CGSociety's challenges. You put images from your server or other image services, like we did in this minichallenge. When you finish your concept (concept sheet, model sheet and image [this is for 2D challenge] ) you submit your images via gameartisans DW submision system ( like in the minichallenge). Thats all... I hope :D

[StudioMonkey]

Just wondering, any word when the mini results will be up? (by results I mean finalists)

Thanks

[Crix Dorius]

Thanks

If I`m right than in June or ? :curious:

[StudioMonkey]

Sorry I didn't mean to confuse . . .

When each Dominance War IV mini challenge is complete and public voting has ended, the best artists from each team moves into the finals. The amount of artists sent from each team is determined by the total amount of participants on each team. If a team has more then 20 participants, their best 3 artists move into the finals. For every 15 participants over 20 (4 at 35, 5 at 50, 6 at 65, 7 at 80, 8 at 95 etc) an additional artist moves into the finals.


This part, the announcement of the finalists. Once the finalists are decided then one lucky winner will be announced the mini-champ in June.

Like I said, just curious to see who made it. Judging was very difficult.
Thanks
