Hey! As far as 3D and photo textures go in the 2D category, it needs to be hardly noticeable that you used them.
For example, you can't have the textures do most of the work in 'rendering' your final illustration. Also, obviously you can't just place a 3D character in a 2D environment and call it a 2D illustration. Essentially, 3D can be used as a base to get the sense for lighting/forms, but not visible in the final (you can paint over it, though).
It would probably be best, to be safe, to just use both as reference and not included in the final illustration.
Hope all this makes sense. Best of luck to you!

@lizannephotography @majmufin
The rule is that you can only enter once in a category. So feel free to enter once in both categories (2D/3D) if you wish!
*Just refrain from posting 1+ entry posts in either category!

yes, it has to be either one of them, not both.
Have fun!

Hello! It doesn't have to be just one character, but it has to be obvious who the 'hero' is! You can include side/support (or enemy) characters in your concept sheet/illustration.
As far as UV's go, it's not required for submission! If you're able to showcase the model with textures and everything to present it as you'd like, you're set! Hope this cleared up some confusion.

Go to the Forums, click on the small red Art War 2D or 3D and post it there with the right naming format. Take a look at how other participants did it.

Question, I've understood that we can't make fanarts or take existing concept but.

Is it possible to make a brand new character that is from en existing world?
For example make a Tauren from the WoW world with simbols ecc from that world but an original design?

Thanks.

katkoch7 · Dec '16

Okay stupid question but what does it mean that the concepts must all fit on one "sheet"?

ESL · Dec '16

You can take inspiration from the character designs from existing characters, but try to make it as original as possible. For example, you shouldn't take the symbols of Tauren straight off the 'book'. You can twist it, redesign them in a way that best suits your vision for the competition.

ESL · Dec '16

A "sheet" implies thumbnails, sketches, iterations, final concept piece, etc. all in one document. You can find examples on any art forum/site or searching for a concept art sheet.

What specifically defines fantasy or sci-fi? I feel like my idea could go either way. Personally I'd go sci-fi when I consider my backstory, but it looks like sci-fi in this case is based off of technology. Or does that matter?

Damn this is really nice oppurtinity for artists to "git gud". I'm so excited to work and also see what others are doing :)))

majmufin · Dec '16

oow thanks, I might just be lazy than and do a 8k map with auto unwrap, that will probally need a lot of sowing and breaking to get the right hard surface shading though aaah, i'll just do it the usual manual way.
