Ric's Challenge:
The theme of this particular challenge will be "monsters". Format can be either vertical or horizontal, pixel resolution will be up to you.
Your monster does not have to be humanoid-ish. Thus, the epicness of it!
This challenge is meant to 1) have fun with, 2) be good practice, 3) give you a reality check on your art skills.
How far you want to push this is also up to you and will only benefit yourself. However, I am going to throw my head out and say- cgsociety level quality.
Goals of the piece: must be able to initially depict a mood or emotion. Bonus points if you do a background or story brief.
Definition of monster: An imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.
As artists, you can even deviate from this definition if you want.
Some types of monster: beast or animal, legendary creature, alien, human, machine, and other combinations thereof.
NOTE: DUE TO THE LACK OF PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO POST IMAGES, THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER THIRD!
NOTE: Seeing as how we haven't gotten everyone signed on as an author as of yet, let us extend the deadline a bit. Say two weeks?
Anyone?
