Game Art Challenge #11

#21

Hey Hanzo: Great idea for this compo! I will definitely join this one too, however I have to spend some time brainwashing what I will do this time. 8000 tris? Room for loads of detail, we’ll see how I spend em… :twisted:

#22

i will get it plugged today and look into changing the thread sorting issue…

#23

8000 tris! Does that just include the character, or the character and any side weapons that he might use… (Like in Soul Caliber 2)?

#24

Dose the original, new version or both have to be human? And by ‘not human’ I don’t mean animal, I’m on about humanoid things, like err… Ninja Turtles, or Preadator or robots like Terminator or that Yoshiwhatshisname from Tekken. Or gods and deamons? I’m asking because the guidelines just state ‘character’.

#25

I guess I´m in… like always. And I´ve finished like once I think…
Maybe 3 month from now it´ll be twice :slight_smile:

Now, let´s do some research, and sketching !

#26

One thing I learned from the previous contest were to do your concept better and more detailed. I had a lot of extra work cause of that so my suggestion is, dont rush into things. Better know exactly what you want to do, even make up your mind about the smallest detail before you begin.

Saves a lot of experimental in the 3d software. But that is kind of fun too. (I even changed stuff after I had layed out my UVs, leaving me ugly gaps, not good hehe)

I am oftly very eager to begin but this time I am testing to make a good ground to stand on.

#27

Does anyone mind if I do Dracula? He’s kind of historical and fictional :). Just wanted to ask before I make the thread and then get told he doesn’t fit the guidelines (i’m still confused :D).

#28

you should do some research on the real person he is based upon…a Count Dracul or something like that…it should not be too hard to find…

#29

Vlad the Impaler actually. Nasty piece of work. A lot of European names are based on occupation, Baker, Smith etc. Funny Impaler didn’t take off.

This comp is looking great. I’m not a character guy at all, but the scope here is really enticing. I’ll have a think (17th century natural philosophers perhaps… Descartes, Isaac Newton… nah, too much hair) and do some research (take that as a warning Google).

#30

do characters like Achilles count? Alexander teh great, some Visigoth warlord etc?

would be pretty cool to do something involving world conqeruers or some sort of mythology.

#31

Cool subject Hanzo!
I’m in 100%… with a little vacation headed my way I’m pretty sure I can finish this time:sad:.
Let the games begin!!!

#32

maybe stephen hawking. his kill move would be reversing over his prone enemy…

how about cornelius from POTA. he’d obviously be a proficient exponant of Ta Sheng Pek Kwar (monkey style kung fu)…

still thinking…

#33

ooops. double post

#34

i can be one of the judge…
cause i don’t want others to give biased judges on people’s products
pm me if you can give me more info, thanks.

#35

know him? acceptable?

#36

could i make a character based on a comic?, like “justice league”, “X-Men”, “Pitt”, “Cyber Force”…

#37

This sounds like a top quality contest, count me in. Have to get play some old skool SNK+Capcom for inspiration

#38

Kroax - Yeah I know him, its Hristo Stoikovich right?? A Barca legend! I dont see a problem with doing him at all. I am also going to do a sports star from the 1940’s and I’m delighted to see someone else is doing something similar! I look forward to seeing what you have in mind for Stoikovich!

Cool compo. Now to find a good historical person to fighterisize. Or something.

But just in case I get it right. It can be either historical OR fictional?
So ceasar would be good, but spiderman would also be acceptable? Or does is has to be a combination of the two?

#40

Supervlieg - I think doing either Ceaser or Spiderman is fine but mixing them together is not part of the challenge its more so your idea of either character if they where in a fighting game!
