Concept Art Competition WIP Thread

lol let me try this again...ill just link Img147.imageshack.us

how does this forum do images im used to the [IMG]well anyway this is very! early version of a piece classified in the warlord field

a little context for you this is a soldier belonging to a branch of an alternate human timeline they are called fowl'hume they were men that millions of years ago did unthinkable deeds so with the wisdom of an ancient court they never killed them granting them rest they took there skin and the majority of there bodies and made them live forever and then they became watchdogs of the graves of kings (a planet filled with enormous statues and monuments) only thinking about about the majesty and purity of the world they were commanded to protect so for a million years the fowl'hume watchdogs sat and waited surrounded by there shame and there regret until one day humans from earth (different timeline but same species) came to snatch the beautiful and healthy planet but were confronted and stopped by only a handful of fowl'hume watch dogs this watchdog 's name is dunkiev he was the cause of an interplanetary genocide campaign and he is the most aggressive of all the fowl'hume

Jesus, people have written incredibly stupid things in this thread. Can it get locked, before more nonsense comes out? I think its clear to the last mollusk now what concept art is and what is wanted in this competition.

here is another update i don't know how people feel about the frquency of posts but ive always found that the critics/other artists like to see what process i use to conceptualize my stuff

but in this i made alot of changes to the head and arms and im now going to work on the back ground a lighting scheme also i have to conceptualize the soldier being decapitated i have to make the 2 very different and im still a little iffy on how the main characters armor is going to look due to its age and due to its creation of another type of humanity

yes

i really don't understand why they got mad at my post. i honestly was just asking questions. besides this thread's supposed to be for works-in-progress, not solely for clarifications. i've never liked forum fights either, and i never start one. so i'm cool.

btw, operation_sleepwalk, very nice I like the cleanliness of your linework.

No matter how you make it, as was often stressed - as long as you draw, paint, or sketch out your OWN work and present it. I do think concepts using 3D assets are interesting and often have a cool look to them and I don't see why anyone wouldn't be allowed to participate with that kind of art. I just think its necessary to make sure they actually produced all the content presented. Yet, this kind of work needs a lot of post-production to get model and background into a good correspondance, so in fact its much harder to produce than just 2D art.

I was probably too early asking about closing the thread. I just thought noone can possibly have any more questions after all we know now.

AStepintoOblivion - you do have great skills. Originality...I don't know yet, but I can see you know your work and take it seriously. Wasn't trying to insult you, I'm just a grumpy old man. If you took it that way, I'm sorry!

You do work like this on a crappy rack? Impressive! You seem to be one of the few people really engaging in the contest and I should be more than happy with that. Perhaps you could have just shown some skills before hand. I wouldn't have made any stupid comments then.

I'm wishing you luck with the contest and I believe you can win one of the Alienwares, if you keep working like that!

ok here u go:

gonna play with composition for a while, adding more canvas maybe.

You can interpret the themes however you please.

Keep the concept art coming, looking strong so far. Ok so the official word is that 3D concept art will be accepted provided all assets, models, landscapes used are original and created for this competition. This applies to all artwork - it must be a "concept piece" which fits one of the themes and is totally new created specifically for the competition.

Zenarion - is that a chaos warrior?

Thank you BlightedArt
Like the explosion. What kind of theme are you going for?
God damnit! migb thanx for pointing that out. Indeed he looks too much as a chaos warrior, will need to stray further away from that. A lot further away.

Theme is riot control, I'd assume that it's either a missile hitting a building or a grenade blowing up. Just answering for Blighted

OMG 3d submissions oh man thats sux i mean in the sense that the competition will be much stiffer and that there will be a much wider range of artists and art its going to be great though too see the 2 methods clash both sides being equally creative but more difficult in many different ways

i dont know about you guys but its going to very very insightful to see what things people like and appreciate as art due to the fact that in many circumstances those that create and those whom critique do not share similar appreciation

because the consumer knows nothing about the process only the result
