kigerneko · Dec '16

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.

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 :)))

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.

Hey guys, I have a question that's kinda bugging me... idk how to put it, hope it makes sense:

How important is the ART WORLD part of the theme? Should it be apparent in the final designs/illustrations than there is a war and, above all, that it's happening in an "art world" (whatever it is)? Or am I just overthinking it and it's alright to just pick sci-fi or fantasy and make a random-ish (no "art world" related) champion character?

I'm guessing it's something open for interpretation, but I had to ask, just in case.

ESL · Dec '16

"Art world" refers to the surreal world that your hero/champion would exist in. It doesn't have to be an all out war, though. Pesky rivalry, fights, etc. can be used to push the "fantasy vs sci-fi" message you're to convey! More than anything, your character needs to be able to convey what sort of situation he/she is in, including those that support/rally for him/her! Hope this helped. ^^

this is so exciting! Although I am a little confused on something, to post our progress, that has to be on a separate topic right? Or can we still post it on the same topic but to post our final entry has to be all on one post with the sketches included on that one post?

kigerneko · Dec '16

All in the same topic. All final work in one post if you can.
