Hey! 
This is my first attempt at these contest things so I hope I can wow a few people. I’m not all into the character deal so i’m going to make the contraption a Beast of burden would be hauling along.
Check it out, its a giant wheelbarow hauling an Island… i figure that would be a pretty big burden. Oh and dont worry, it’ll be better than that sketch 
haha
Later.
yo mikerster! imean ravdog! heh its gonna be sweet!
yep i defenetly wouldnt wanna have to haul around that wheel barel, how big are u gonna make the town/city on the island? u should just make a small one i also like the mountain thats a cool touch
good luck with ur first challange! hope it turns out better than my first heh
-peace
TOP idea…
…but wouldn’t u’re beast have 2 be 4 example the size of a house on the island then that would b some burden ???
Wow, replys already…
Twisted - Ya the buildings are going to be quite small inded… i’m hopefully going to have a whole little village instead of those 2 or 3 buildings on the sketch.
Samartin - I’m not doind a beast, just the contraption. If it would be hard or not to carry… well lets put it this way, have you ever hauled around heavy stuff… in a wheel barrow with one wheel… with alot of water to shift the center of gravity every time you hit a bump… there ya go 
yea man i agree WICKED idea! very original heh 
sorry for wasting forum space just thought id add that 
Haven’t seen too many contraptions yet, so go for it! I love the sketch.
If the world’s in a wheelbarrow, does that mean mother nature is a lanscape artist? Whoa, deep. It’s like zen or something. :surprised
Hey hey!
Here’s the basic layout of the land part inside the wheel barrow. I still need to tweek it though but its getting there.

starting to come together mike! i d like to go swimin on that beach, its like ur own little paradice. heh
those few trees are starting to bring it together, and it looks like u got the smooth cleaned up a bit, keep up the good work!
Here’s the trees all in there… i may ad some more, some small ones for variety. But havn’t decided yet.
Thanks for any help!
That’s coming along really well. I love the idea of having an island in a wheel-barrow. Very cool.
Good idea:lightbulb …actually i was thinking about having my beast carrying the earth in a big bag…but i bagged that idea(pardon the pun )
hey hey!
What do you guys think about the cliffs? do they look alright?
ZrO-1 - thanks!
otacon - bagged that idea… HAHAHAHA! nice.
Its looking good so far. Its all a bit too smooth at the min tho, it needs to be more sharp in places like the cliff… one of the best ideas i’ve seen on here… much better than doing what every body else is doing (dinomonsterthing with big feet).

hey, this is looking great! I know we’re not being judged on textures, but I think this will look wicked textured. with a family of dolphins swimming in the ocean too…but it depends on how detailed you wanna go with it.
definitely sharpen the cliffs, and make the ridge more jagged too.
also, does the island have its own sun? or does it rely on the sunlight from the sun in the outside world (the one that the wheelbarrow is in…if it is in its own world)?
great work! you rule!!!

Thanks opiate! Ya i hope i do get to texturing it cause i agree that it would add a ton. thanks to Twistid, I was thinking that i’d ad some little seagul type birds flying in the sky, really really small… Dolphins would be cool too…
I’m still trying to decide if i want to make a traditional wheel barrow… or make one up. I had some ideas about the bowl that the island and stuff would sit in would be held up by some sort of magnetic field so its not actually toughing anything but air so that when the wheel barrow twists and turns it would kind of counterballence its self with gravity and stay level… ya follow me? haha.
I was also thinking that the light source could be some sort of lantern or whatnot that would be able to be turned on/off by the beast of burden that would be pushing the wheel barrow… think of it as like in a fish tank, you decide when its night or day :).
Anywho, for the update:
I like the idea of a self balancing barrow, I was wondering about all that water sloshing out in the first sketches
