You have one month to come up qith as much concept art as you can do. No time limit for each piece. Honestly I just need artwork. For the aspiring concept artist, think of this as a chance for a lot of exposure.  __________________

Flash Gordon concept. i wanted to get away from the loin cloth wearing he-man. Give him more of a futuristic look, yet keep elements of the original. (I.E. The red uniform and the blaster.) I wanted him to look like someone who was stranded on a planet and had been in a fair number of fights. His clothes are ripped, and he's even got some scarring of his own. Photoshop, about 3 hours. |

Dale Arden Concept The original Dale Arden doesn't have much of a back story. She's just kind "there." It's clear that Flash was just intended to have a love interest but I thought in a more modern interpretation she would be just as not intelligent if not more than Flash is. She's more of an equal, no longer the damsel in distress figure. Thats why i dressed her in the same type of crew garb that flash wears, along with the same kind of body mesh exo-skeleton base that you can see under the rips in her clothing. Photoshop About 3.5 hours total. |

Flash Gordon
Sounds like a fun project - I recently worked on this as a concept designer & storyboard artist, which was also fun - you can see some of the design work & boards at my website : www.raviswami.com/blog (click on "Ardbeg") - I'm tempted to have a go myself - I remember watching the original series in the cinema as a kid on Saturday mornings...

Dr. Zarkov From what i've read, Dr. Zarkov was a brilliant scientist... but he goes steadily insane over the course of Flash Gordon's adventures. He still pulls moments of sanity out in a crisis, but for the most part he's your crazy mad scientist. Hence the bulging eye ball and bizarre hair-do. Althought part of that is his genetics. Photoshop 5 hours... didn't like my first version of him. So I started over, hence why it took longer. |

I always imagined Zarkoff as a chubby bloke, Making him thins a new one, makes him look madder, When I think Zarkoff I think Topol, that movie's just wormed it's way into my sub-conscious
