Concept Art Competition WIP Thread

Godwin:
sorry. didn't mean to offend. I mean this:

exactly the point. i have no idea what it is. but blah, forget it might just be me.

Gibberstein:

Yeah. I didn't think of that that way.

Still, consider for a fact that in this competition, you only have ONE piece to submit. You do not have other pictures, background fiction, a universe framework that can help bring your idea over to the audience.

So how would you be able to show your best game PROPOSAL, in such a way that it really gives the viewer the IDEA of what the game would be like, what would it feature, etc. etc?

A mood artwork is what's needed. You try to show EVERYTHING featured in your idea. I'm not saying you're wrong, but mood pieces are still Concept Art in that sense.

LOL yeah. Perhaps this concept does need a better title or something. We were given almost two months I think to finish our piece, so this is not the normal '3d Artist reference' concept.

I, too, am part of a team as a 3d modeler and texture artist and I know how the art pipeline works. Most of the time, we just get quick linework stuff with hints of blocking and shading to guide us in making our models. Yet, sometimes, we have full blown scenes that are not just for modelers to work on, but ALSO for the writers, texturers, and especially coders. The concept artist has to show how the game in its entirety would look in its finished state. oh well... forget it too, hehe, I'm tired of arguing when we all probably agree anyway.

Dragonlord:

civilized eh? after calling me ignorant and disrespectful after asking a perfectly reasonable question on page 3 of this forum? I don't really know what your problem is... I've said peace and you still attack other people for making art that does not exactly fit to YOUR idea of what it should be. Not directly, I know, but snide comments here and there is just as hurtful to people.

sounds to me like our an art luddite or something. the computer is just another MEDIUM. The artist's imagination is what counts. Doesn't matter if its pencil, ink, oil on canvass, or photoshop, it's still art. But for one thing, digital art is fast, has good results, and is flexible - you have to admit that.

you're guilty of saying the same things over and over yourself. so i echo DamageINC: just draw.

This thread proves that when the nervous people see a spark, they start to flame. ^^

Ease up folks lets not turn this into a slagging match

I did not. I asked if it was possible to use existing resources which is not quite the same as submitting a finished old work. and the contest didn't say so which is why i asked in the first place. I asked nicely. other people responded nicely. you responded as if i was attacking you.

one has nothing to do with the other, eh? you keep trying to find ways to insinuate that other people are not quite doing it like the way it should be done.

Peace. I'm shutting up.

yeah... i guess that might be it.

Sorry TKAzA, ok i'm not posting anymore about this subject.

btw, has the 50 entries been completed?

This was what i was asking about actually, since I first entered with hopes of making a concept in 3d. Solely as props. But anyway, the point is moot. I've entered with a 2d painting, and it just irritated me that even digital paintings still does not satisfy the purist views of people here. anyway... let's all just sit back and see what the gallery has to offer. I'm sorry if I offended people, i was not my intention. *me goes back to meditating hehe*

yep. quite a good movie.

Did you know that it was based on one of the tenets of chaos theory? That the flapping of a butterfly's wing can start off a chain reaction that ends in a tornado?

yes wai!

speaking of which... i see a whole lotta buttahflahs!!!

...
