@nevs36 I've literally just answered that in the post right above your question!
Exactly as it's stated in the first post in this topic - Final Illustration has to have at least 2048x2048 pixels (any format), while the Concept Sheet has to be exactly 2048x2048 pixels.

I'm confused about the 2D contest. It says to squeeze everything on one sheet (2048x2048) but I see a lot of artists posting their art on all different dimensions and separate sheets. Not complaining at all just wondering if I can do that too

@mandyberryart I think what you're seeing is people just posting their progress, such as sketches, thumbnails, etc.

In the end, when we post 2 IMAGES (1 CONCEPT SHEET, 1 ILLUSTRATION), you squeeze in all important sketches and other stuff you feel like showing into a 2048x2048 sheet, ALONG WITH THE FRONT+BACK of your character, and that becomes the CONCEPT SHEET you turn in.

your ILLUSTRATION needs to be AT LEAST 2048x2048.

How do I upload my sketches and concpet art on my froum. Just entered the CubeBrush community 1 hour ago and can´t figure out how to upload something.

kigerneko 2017-01-04 15:56:19 UTC #51

There's a text box when you type, right? Directly above that box there's a line of symbols like B i " </> etc.
Hover your mouse over the icons. Next to </> there's a box with an arrow pointing up (upload). Click on that and choose from there what you want to do. When you hover your mouse over that icon it should say 'Upload' so you can't miss it.
If there's something else you need help with you can post it in the Help Center category.

No photobashing or use of 3D? Aren't those the modern techniques concept artists are supposed to know or learn? Why not use what would help make a better image?

@marc, I've seen you use a lot of 3D in your images to great effect with a paintover in Photoshop, why have this requirement?

Can 2D painting be used in the 3D section? As in painting for the final image or a paintover and not just the texture? Are the two mediums allowed to mix for this competition other than in the buildup to the final image?

same here.

Just wondering if we have to write some sort of character background story? I'm entering for 2D illustration. It makes sense if its for 3D for character designing and such but illustration is an artwork, not concept art. So I'm quite confused when I see people doing illustration, writing a story plot???
I did check the brief and I don't see that we need to do so...
I don't mind doing it, just wondered if I need to

Shia 2017-01-18 17:03:30 UTC #57

Writing a background story can help explain the story of your character a lot. See it as you selling your hero to the gaming company you are working for.
If it isn't a rule then you don't have to do it.

marc 2017-01-20 04:19:11 UTC #58

Hey Robert, no 3D can be visible for the 2D submissions and no 2D can be used for the 3D character itself (anything goes for the 3D entry's background as mentioned in the rules).

As far as your process, you can do whatever you want as long as we don't see it, basically. You can't mix the mediums but you could model something in 3D and use it as ref for your 2D submission, or render a scene and use the lighting as ref, etc. Just the same you might use google to look for refs. It's up to you to decide what you think can you get away with.

As long as the result is that we can't tell, what you do behind the scene is up to you, we can't police it.

robert_nally 2017-01-20 05:51:42 UTC #59

Thank you for getting back to me. I know you can't really change the contest once it is set in motion.

I won't try and cheat your contest, but thank you for potentially opening up that doorway even though you are the owner and creator of the contest, lol. I was just dissapointed to see that. I apologize if what I wrote came off too harsh.

I made a thread in the 3D section and I will keep the final result strictly 3D if I get to that point.

Do i have to include my facebook?
Im underaged (but old enough for the art war) and im not that comfortable with sharing it, but i have stated my email.

SageEmpress 2017-01-23 17:11:07 UTC #61

Hi. I wanted to know if the art war challenge is still going on or if it ended?

Acolet 2017-01-23 17:51:46 UTC #62

@alexis-anderson40 plenty of time to join!

no_david 2017-01-24 04:12:20 UTC #63

So the final illustration doesn't require the front and back of our Champion correct?

Acolet 2017-01-24 06:35:46 UTC #64

@no_david one entry consists of 2 parts:
- Final Illustration (your champion in action)
- Concept Sheet (with front and back of the champion, plus other sketches etc)

naka 2017-01-24 09:54:49 UTC #65

hey, I have one question.
I uploadede the concept sheet, it should have 2048x2048 pixels but when I download it from this site (to make sure) it's only 1638x1638 pixels big.
does the homepage compress pictures?
I just want to make sure, that the file gets to you in 2048x2048 pixels.

sorry for bad english, and thanks in advance!
