Keep building it up and it’ll be a letdown no matter what…

Well if its something classical then we can start taking potshots… as most well known paintings are religious and wouldn’t be 100% forum safe…
I like the idea of trying to recreate an oil painting in 3D, tricky picking the right one though.
Wha, I have to remember that, let’s not look for anything idealistic, I’ve just subscribed to a WIP Nazi. Besides, there’s millions and millions of artworks that have nothing or little to do with religion.
Rob, bring it on, I’m game!
Ok I want to make it flexible so we have variety.
Sometimes we could do organic modelling, soemtimes it might be a structure.
Soemtines it might be a DETAILED art noveau lamp, sometimes it might be THE DAVID.
The way I see it, digital sculptors are asked to be in a way, jacks of all trades in terms of sculpting. The idea of this would be to force people to learn and do things they would have tried on their own.

I think its a great idea!
I have too much homework as it is but I think there are lots of modellers who could get a great deal out of something like this. Especially sharing techniques in the tough areas.
A big thumbsup from me! (forbidden to use the smiley by james

Neat idea. It’s kinda like Massive’s in house courses.
I’d also add in tool & work flow method restrictions. These would then take the seemingly most simple challenge to an entirely different level! I’m sure that people would go nutz modelling The David if they weren’t allowed to use edge extrusion, face selections, the ability to use their zoom function, or a Zbrush smaller then a ‘normal’ brush. 
I sense a bit of a Jules Verne like setting for the modelling, 20.000 leagues onder sea, model Nemo’s submarine, or Man on the moon, build the gun and the launching pod etc.
All in good detail it would be quite a challenge and you will have to deal with organic, classical en technologial features. (and make sure you get the etchy feel all over)
I figure two weeks would be ideal, but yeah, we can try out one week and see how it goes…
I think I can rock it bit in that time.
any news on the challenge?
I’m sure a lot of modelers would join if this was made public frontpage
