Not sure about this one - but the idea in my head looked fun.

#3

I don’t know why I have double posts - oh well.
This is my first CG Challenge. i am a little unsure of what to expect by posting so I will just ask for what i hope for.

I am not sure which idea I like best - which comes across to all as a funny image. Any advice would be great. Or simply a vote for the image liked best so far. If I have more ideas I will post them later!

#4

Sometimes we really are what we eat.

#5

Mime on the phone?

#6

excellent idea :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
good luck

#7

Cool concept. In fact mimes are great conversationalists.

#8

Great listeners, at least.

It’s like Marcel Marcaeu once said:

" … "

#9

i can’t wait to see how they come out! :slight_smile:

#10

This was another idea I had - I am not sure if I want there to be a fish on the end or a person - but I just liked the idea of a mermaid fishing - I also like the pin up style. I have never done one before.

#11

Great ideas! I really like the mermaid! Very pin-up style!

Cheers,

Dogman3d: Thanks! I am sort of leaning towards her too. I had some more darker ideas - like a woman in front of a vanity mirror cutting he rlips off with a pair of scissors…but that is a little dark for my nature;) I LOVE your suchi master - from wha tyou said you are going to model him? No paint - I only ask because I like the painting you have going on. Either way it is a strong piece.

sgoob: Thanks for the encouragement :wink:

Ramitxon: Thanks for taking a look at my stuff - Expose was such a surprise and a something I will remember for ever. Like I said in the Limited Edition - I just make what I want and if others enjoy it - that is really great. I follow what clients want all dya at work, so my personal art is really just what I want to see. :slight_smile: I am glad you liked it.

Qais: Thanks - I have a problem having too many ideas and not moving on any of them - will need.

#13

you have got your imagination in gear - good luck!

Thanks Gord!

I am actually working on the mermaid as I type - I like that idea and it is a challenge for me to do the pin up style :slight_smile:

#15

Just working - I have been mostly thinking about colors, brushes and composition - I am usually a fan of negative space - but this one I don’t want it totally clean color - I am probably going to take the blue background and make it look like older orange/brown/blueish paper, water stains and texture.

#16

Hi, Holli,

I love the colors and compositon!

Cheers,
Carlos

#17

cool idea. the fish is turning out very nice. dont forget about the big splashes :wink: i think it will add alot to the action element.

#18

Thanks guys!

I think the color change was a good one !

As for the splash - I totally want a big splash and drippy water - I will probably add a little basket behind her with other catch of the day.

#19

This is a really great idea and it looks like you had several interesting concepts to work on. But I like the mermaid the best. I was thinking of doing something sort of similar with a father and son marlin or sailfish going big game fishing for humans. But I never went with this idea mainly because my organic modelling ain’t quite that good. Anyway best of luck with your work:)

It’s been a while since I have been so busy with life, work, etc etc…so this is the first time I have had to work on her…
