…close-up of the two wrestlers’ faces so far. I don’t know what you have to say but it sure gave me a laugh… Anyway, I think I’m on the right track… we shall see :smiley:

nice work there theo and its hilarious! it looks like the human could easily win this match.
if you add some audience or crowd watching and cheering it will definitely compliment the match. good luck to you.

#17

HELL YEAH!!! Cool cool cool scene!
Vibrant colours,funny scene,100% uplift!
Keepo it up!:bounce:

thepineman: Thanks for the kind words man and good luck to you. - It will not be that easy for the human to win since the alien dude can change shape at will. The alien race is called Sh’qkran and they have kept their supernatural ability secret. This picture shows the first time ever they make it known to the world… - The background will be full of people cheering and watching the match and also the president of the universal federation will be watching from the VIP balcony as you can see on the right…

OZ: thanks a lot my friend i intend to…

Love the wrestler concept and the look on the guy’s face is priceless. I’d like to see more with this one if you develop it. Good luck!

At last I managed to find some time to work on my uplift challenge image!!!
I have started to work on the alien and human wrestler faces and did some detail work. I’m working in grayscale mode and will add the colors later on a separate layer. This way I can have more control over the image and make all the changes I want. As always comments and crit are welcome

#21

I am currently working on the bodies of the 2 athletes. Think their poses need to be a little more dramatic…

#22

i like the creatures u chosed

#23

now I think it looks better… The poses are a little more dramatic and more wrestling-like. Now I’m gonna work on the other characters , the 2 coaches, the referee and the surrounding crowd, who I have neglected long enough. I hope I can finish it in time…

#24

One of the best concepts i’ve seen so far. I really like your latest composition, I think it works well. Best of luck. Brad

#25

Ok I worked on the coach and the uplifted ape who are part of the human team. I’m trying to find what their size should be in order to have a strong composition… In the back you can see a big seated figure… that’s the High chancelor of the universal federation…he has good reason to watch the match really carefully…

P.S. People thank you for your most kind words…

#26

I did some work on the bodies of the 2 wrestlers and also tried to flesh out the other characters of the scene: the neo-gorilla, with a surprising and sad look on his face stares at the human coach who is really depressed by the way things turned out. On the other side of the wrestling ground stands the alien coach smiling in content.
Comments are welcome.
I just hope I can finish the piece in time…

#27

Fantastic work Theo! The pose and tension are working great. I’m liking the interaction you’ve placed with the audience with the latest wip aswell. Keep rendering, not much time left!

-love

I have decided to give this image everything I’ve got so I can finish in time…
I’m pretty happy with the Human coach’s head now (I did it all again from scratch) and with the background, which was way too bright and distracting from the main action. I dressed up the neo gorilla and stared adding crowd to the scene… I also made some changes to the color scheme of the general lighting, think it works better now. I expect to be finished in about a week if not earlier…

P.S. Fetus, thanks for the wonderful comment my friend. Your piece is great. I wish you the best of luck…

hilarious!

here’s the latest wip…

Hi Theo.

I like your style. Very good textures and expressions.Also very good colors.
Maybe the yellow light of background distracts a little.
Only 6 days to finish. Maybe u must elliminate some characters.
Anyway very good job.
Keep it up.

As you can see I’m very close to finishing.I think I need about 2 days to render everything and another one to add some final touches… hope everyone likes it and thanks for the warm comments too!!!

#34

As you can see, I am refining everything, I have balanced the lighting and coloring a bit, added textures and almost finished painting all the characters. Tell me what you think… I believe the next upload will be my final image…
