I’m officially “out” as well - I’ve already sunk at least 30 hours into this comp and I’m nowhere near finished, and I’ve just got too many other things to work on.
That said, it was still very beneficial for me - I’d never tried anything even remotely as detailed as this model, and I learned a lot in the process.
Even if people don’t finish their entries, it does NOT mean it was a total loss!
I think that I’m pretty much just gonna go back an Finish rigging mine andbe done with it for a while. It was fun though.
i am working to get a plan together and presented for an official comp…one with prizes and everything… stay tuned for more info
i just hope there would be more interest than what is currently shown…it is actuallyrather disheartening to see the decline in the comps lately…
I got my first full-time job in game industry, and I had to learn XSI in quite short term. Sorry but I had no time to finish my entry 
But I will finish him in (distant 
) future and I’ll post him here.
Bentllama - I cannot wait!
I will most likely not finish in time. I’m stuck in the texturing stage, but I’ll post what I’ve got come Saturday. This is the most ambitious project I’ve undertaken so far, and I want something to show for it.
That said, I’m one lurker who thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone’s progress. I was bummed to see entries lose momentum, but it happens. In fact, school work is the reason I’m up at this ungodly hour to reply.
P.S. I wholly support your endeavor, bentllama. And that Native American character is definitely one worth revisiting.
eMPeck - welcome to the industry!
Slainean - I will be revisiting that character, very, very soon - stay tuned!
I’m not too sure dmonk, my thread disappeared aswell when it got pushed of the 2nd page but I luckily had added it to my favourites.
Come on people one more day till the deadline
One thing that I did realize is that there has not been many front page plug for the contest.
—EX: halfway through and at the end of the contests deadline
?—
Hopefully the next competition is more lively! 
By the way, any idea what the next competition will be?
I really wanted to finish this on time but its not gonna happen I think. I think it was the long deadline that threw me off. Oh well, I’m not trying to make excuses or anything, I just fukiin
procrastinated. Ill still finish my character through.
good luck to all the others still working.
as for me maybe next time
O-Well, at least you almost finished
I really liked your model, it was coming along nicely.
Maybe KWAK will finish his
before we start on the next competition, please give me some time to try an organize an official challenge, with official rules and shorter, stricter deadlines…and, with official prizes.
it is something I have wanted to do for this community for awhile, and I will be researching its implementation…
i will keep you all posted.
sorry bout not finishing. I didn’t have as much free time during the week as i expected.
I’m looking forward to the next challenge 
-K.
That will be great, bentllama. But if the sole motivation of the competition is the prize, that will be very sad.
I’ll be interested to join the next challenge, especially with guys like KWAK taking part. Hopefully I can finish my WIP character (which is taking too long) soon enough.
bentllama I think that would be an excellent idea, I’ll be looking forward to the next comp
PDK the prize is never the soul purpose behind making a peace for a contest, it’s just a nice insentive to get going and keep going, so I think bentllama has a great idea.
KWAK well better luck next time dude, your entry was pretty cool though
That is a great idea indeed. Also, I wanna give a big 
to the brave ones who actually finished this time. I didn´t :sad: as usual…
Well I´ll keep trying, see you in the next comp!
I know, which is exactly the point I wanted to bring through. The purpose should be to improve & push ourselves through friendly competition . The competition shouldn’t need an offical prize to attact people. An official prize will of course be a cool incentive.
Anyway I have a suggestion for the next competition. Other then the regular stuff that the contestant need to show in the 1st post, make it part of the requirement to have a work schedule (which of course could be revised).
Possibly the theme should be left more open ended.
Seems like they narrow stuff down and then people say “oh well he’s doing dracula already…” and then they just waste too much time in the concept phase trying to come up with something that’s not being done.
That’s cool to be uber original, but that’s also very tough. I remember the cartoon characte one being very popular. Possibly due to the fact that you’re just copying something that already exists, and that lets you start quicker.
