This challenge was very very hard to decide, there were alot of great entries, I wish I could have taken a part in it, but alas I still haven’t finished my spacemarine model (though I am really really close to finishing)… this working until 11:00PM is really killing me.

Comments:

After quiting my job, doing boring architectural visualisations (no offence anyone), I decided this challenge is perfect for me to test my 3D skills to the limit. At the start I had a vision of portraying the General in an unconventional way, without the usual lightsabers and fighting poses. I wanted him to appear more human (or alien if you will), than robot. It was my goal to pose him in a way to express his fearless soul and desire for battle, yet at the same time I wanted to show desperation in his intentions…perhaps that is the reason his lightsaber has not been ignited. Ok, I have not slept for days and I am talking utter crap, so to wrap it all up, I had an amazing time taking part in this challenge and I wish everyone good luck tomorrow.

#93

Thanks to everyone who voted.

The timing for receiving an award is rather unfortunate, seeing that today we discovered the passing of one of the better known artists around here.

I hope he had the time to enjoy some of the marvelous work produced by us all for the past two months.

Once again…may he rest in peace.

#94

Well firstly, as Yav said, commiserations to the family of Glen Angus …

Thank you to everyone who voted, both for me, and the other entrants. It’s good of you all to take the time to support the Challenge …

Congats to Yav for a stunning effort, and a quite unanimous winner.

As a first time entrant i am, not surprisingly, delighted to have won a category. It means a lot to gain some recognition from fellow artists, and i think will inspire me to push even harder in future …

#95

Congrats Winners! Job Well Done!!!

Thanks Roberto and CG Talk for the fun challenges :cool:

Roberto, the link to the next challenge doesn’t work.

#96

Re: Yav.

As you can see, Glen will not be forgotten. Bless him. For now, though, know that you recieved this award because you have earned it, and it gives us great pleasure to you see you have it.

But dont think its over, Yav, and that you can rest on your laurels - because I wont be holding back in the next contest!:twisted:

#97

First of course all my heart goes out to Glen Angus’ family. I’ve followed his work for so long it was such a shock when I got the email about his sudden passing.

Like Simjoy, this is my first time entering this challenge and I want to thank everyone for their support both throughout the competition and in the votes at the end. I did this to push myself to work harder and faster and having you guys award me best in one of the categories is only going to push me to work even harder (maybe I’ll join in the Strange Behavior competition after all! and finish this time heheh >.<)

Congrats to all the winners and all the competitors! And thank you to Roberto and all the people who made this competition possible =)

#98

Nicely done everyone, and congrats to the winners for a well deserved victory!!!
Was lots of fun to see all the entries progress!

#99

Thanks, it is a lot of fun in my end too.
Hope to see you in ANIMALS IN MOTION this Friday.
