sorry guys for flaking out…

I had a tonne of professional stuff pile up and some personal drama that I would rather not go into detail about…I could not give the contest the time it deserved when it came to judging, for that I apologize…

as far as new contests go…hold off for just a wee bit longer…as the mods are all trying to work out the next CGTalk official challenge…I will post more when I hear more…

again, sorry for the missed judging, and thank you to poop for stepping up to the task…

pleasant polys to everyone…

talk to you again soon…

I wanna say thank you to the judges for taking the time to review and coment on everyonefs model. All of the submissions were great, and I feel honored to have been chosen. Also, thank you too everyone who chimed in on my WIP thread with crits & coments, its really nice to get feedback from fresh eyes after staring at your own model all month. This competition was lots of fun, being a videogame nerd… It was fun seeing all the old characters brought back to life in everyonefs different art styles.

So the next competition would be starting up pretty soon, huh? I have a few themes that I am thinking about. Is there a list somewhere of all the previous game art competition themes? I Don’t want to redo any. Also, if anyone wants to start posting suggestions for the theme in this thread, please do. I would like to have a theme that everyone would enjoy and one where lots of people join.

thundercats, silverhawks, visionaries, transformers, GI-Joe?

Personally I’d like to go for to do a character from a comic.

that sounds like a lot of fun.

I vote for that idea.

#51

Personally I think it would be fun with a contest where you can make your own concept. Maybe create a new chracter for a excisting comic? (i don´t know :slight_smile: You could go do a new super-villan for the supermancomic or a new batman-sidekick…

Just a thought :slight_smile:

#52

Comics and cartoons sound good. I can relate to both. Though it will somehow be a remake instead of an original creation.

How about something different, like a character for fighting game?
It has lots of pro’s: High polycount, Lots of different possibilities concerning the look of the character, It will be nice addition to any portfolio, Good opportunity to do a great rigging job, and it can be an original creation.

I would like that as well…

…I would love to push a character like that onto xenon…imagine the rigging possibilies coupled with sheer polycount…

I was thinking the same thing, why not a fighting game character? As long as the genre is fighting, keep it original or would copy Ken from Street Fighter be allowed? or both?

I got some ideas for my own fighting character. So im for this idea.

How about take this idea alitle further, than rigging…like model/rig and do a walk cycle or a super move, or something the character does in the game, slash,jump, hadoken?

AFAIK, about 80% of the cartoons started as a comic book, or ended up as one… take TMNT, Transformers, X-men ect. And speaking of fighting games, almost every Marvel charcter had made an appearance in a fighting game.

Anyway, a char for a fighting game from comic/cartoon sounds great!

#57

Sounds great!!!
Just one thing personally, can someone throw a simple rigging lesson my way… :slight_smile:
Thanks

Ah, what a lovely resource Cgtalk is indeed. Check out this thread http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49073

And for maximum pleasure check out the website of the guy who did the dancing greek god. Not a tutorial as such, but great tips anyhoo. Check out the character setup section.

Personally I’m not a fan of fighting games, so I think we shouldn’t alienate anyone cause of what types of games they play or don’t play.

How about a topic that ISN’T characters?!

Sorry to sound bitchy, but we’ve all proven that we can do characters. Except for the ocassional AK47 and tank, that’s about all that gets posted here. Without going into detail and saying that yes, consol games are driven by characters, i would still like to see this imense talent applied to something new.

(refer back to the last brainstorm session, for this competition, for my points)

oh yeah, and give us some rest, before we fire up this next one. pllleease :slight_smile:
