Iāve been chatting with the winner, and as with Andy, Iām not too keen on the required āhistoricalā theme either. Simply because āhistorical fighterā sounds very similar to my previous challenge theme āhistorical battle creatureā. Would it be more open to participants if itās kept at āfighting game characterā, because that allows artists to choose if they want to be history-based designs or something completely original.
Discuss, because I believe Hanzo wants the next challenge up by tomorrowā¦and Iād hate to see anyone left out.

I think of it a little differentlyā¦we wouldnāt be doing just a generic time-period fighter, weād be doing one of the many characters (kings, peasents, murderers, generals, artists, writers) from world history and exaggerating them and beefing them up in the style of a fighting game, Hereās a few cool examplesā¦
[ul]
[li]Jack the Ripper - a dirty street fighter, dressed in a trench coat and a top hat, an apron sprayed with blood, his face is aged and scarred, his teeth are broken and yellow. He creeps in the arena, tosses his coat on the ground, and pulls a hacksaw and butcherās knife from his bag of goodies. His special move could be decapitation, or he could bite somebodyās ear off.[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Vlad the Impaler - a noble king, clad in gold armor and draped in a blood red sash, marches proudly into the arena, sheathed in his belt, a massive sword with a bat and skull emblem, in his hand, a 12ā long wooden pike. Heās a brutal fighter, not only with great cleaving sword, but heās also been known to drive the pike through the skull of his enemies.[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Vladimir Rasputin - a dirty, sinister looking mage floats ominously into the arena, his eyes closed, his hands pressed firmly together as though he was praying to some higher power. Heās lanky and muscular, and stands easily 7ā tall. Throwing off his coat of rags, he levitates high above the ground and blasts the other fighters with a bizarre stream of magic and fire.[/li][/ul]
those are just some quicky ideas, hereās a list of other characters that could be done, most of these are from Western History, since Iām not really familiar with the historical figures of the rest of the world:
Caeser
Brutus
Ghengis Khan
Napoleon (leggo my eggo)
Billy the Kid
Leonardo da Vinci
Alexander the Great
Cleopatra
Tutankhamun
Caligula
Lady Godiva
Eric Bloodaxe
William the Conqueror
Henry the fifth
The Marquis de Sade
Snofru
Kaiser Wilhelm II
Lizzy borden
Edgar Allen Poe

I am excited about this also, but it is all up to Hanzo, and what he wants
But if this doesnĀt happen this coming comp, than maybe the following one
I myself think that the Idea is very cool
If we have to make moves, ect
It would be cool to see what some of the characters would do as there finishing move

[size=1][color=white]I can just imagine ĀLeonardo da VinciĀ with the paint brush of death, watch out heĀll poke your eyes out![/color][/size]

Gratz to all the finalists, especially to Hanzo though, nice job 
.

:rolleyes:.

No character based? The main point of these competitions is self improvementā¦ So even if it is; you should still give it a shotā¦

Pushy pushy. Not everyone bleeds cgtalk 
Give him some time Iām sure heāll surface. Maybe his internet is down or something.
I always thought it would be cool to get a big collage of all entries posed at the end of the contest. And if youāre going the route of a fighting game, then this would work really cool. I thought back during the āanimals of warā, all those in a group and posed would have been cool too.
