CG Challenge XXIII For Halloween?

#21

Lovely.

Wouldn’t it be peachy if there were a way for me to look and see that you haven’t entered a challenge since 2005? :twisted:

#22

You need more toffee. Clearly.

#23

hopefully it’d hit winter break…tho i’d probably not be able to join in either way…orrrr will i?! dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuun. :eek: like it matters… lolz

#24

Leave him be, he’s just letting off a bit of steam.

#25

You’d be surprised how many things you said then are true. Except for the first part. And parts of the second part.

#26

And you definitely will want to have a shirt handy. Can’t do this efficiently without a shirt.

#27

I’m willing to bet that emergency pants would work just as well.

#28

Actually, not necessarily.
Some pants might, but definitely not cargo pants. Unless you’re English and you call your underwear pants, in which case you could bring some but it would definitely be on the poshy side.
A shirt really will give you the best bang for the buck here.

#29

Yeah, funny how multiple jobs and a family seem to take up all my “free” time. Actually, I’m still kicking myself for not entering the Grand Space opera challenge - that was right up my alley.

But hey, I was just making a jab at how long it seems to be between contests. I know how much work it is to coordinate these challenges (which must be why you FA’s are so touchy!).

A likely scenario is that I’ll once again praise or poo-poo your choice of subject matter, think briefly about entering, then decide that sleep is more important to me and watch as artists far more talented than myself walk away with millions in cash & prizes. :surprised

#30

Well, they don’t really walk… more sort of levitate away on the pure energy of their awesomeness.

#31

Since this has come up… What actually is the procedure for doing a painting for a challenge?

When I look at the winning entries from previous challenges, they seem to be broken down step by step from sketch to finished piece, with comments etc...

Are you supposed to post in WIP that you are entering and then keep updating? Or can you skulk off on your own and then come back at the end with a finished piece at the end?

Is a step by step process required for winning entries? Or is it just that all winning entries happen to have that?

#32

The challenges have always been WIP challenges. Yes, you are expected to show the steps of progress on your image. Winners usually summarize thier whole thread in articles that will run (on the CGS home page) when the challenge is over.

It is a requirement that is specified in the rules (or we keep their prizes … no I’m kidding. Maybe.). :smiley:

[edit] Actually … yes. [/edit]

To be eligible for prizes, all winning entrants must provide detailed “making of” articles.

#33

Ahhh Thank you :slight_smile:

I've never participated in one before, but I was very much hoping to enter the next one. I feel a little less intimidated by it now that I know what to do. :wip:
#34

Sweet. The more clues that pour out the closer i feel the next challenge coming.
So far i’m thinking of friut or animals in clothing, pajamas maybe or a shirt.
I’m sure my idea will change a hundred times before it’s announced.

#35

Don’t forget your nutrient rich towel, it should always be handy.

#36

Is this a Monty Python reference?

It might be… or it might not!

#37

The word of the day is Pickle.

#38

Pickled albatross, brown sugar coated international agents and fruit, covert primates in Paris with shirts but not necessarily pants, all sort of points in a distinct direction. The only thing I believe could possibly exist at the endpoint of such a strange vector would be Thomas Pynchon - but that would be far too awesome, so it seems I must have made a mistake somewhere along the way.

#39

breathes Rose…bud… dead

Clue of the day:
