Concept-Art Contest #4 - EVOLUTION

[Billy the Cat]

Sounds fun, but what kind of artworks are allowed, I mean, I couldn't understand that part..
And what happens if you lose? you lose reps?

I think nearly everything is allowed as long as it has to do with evolution.
If you lose you just didn't win. Nothing happens.

 

[olyvian]

some wips and some finnished

 

[Just_Spectating]

sounds fun.

W.I.P. 1

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Continuing with the rough draft pics (wip's):

hmmmm I need to work on my circle drawing........

 

[Dentothor]

pff. really dentothor, not the most creative peace you got there...

new wip ike?

oh shit... i just realized they look like em.... gad damn. k im starting over then...

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

It looks different enough, I would say its fine. I guess as long as it doesn't end up following all the stages that the pokemon thing goes through your fine (snake thing 1, snake thing 2, dragon thing).

 

[Dentothor]

no my last one was like a man snake. i have the sketches done on paper so but if it will drop me points ill trash it.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

If your going in that direction I really don't think you'll lose points there. The final work is meant to be an overall concept, and not a bunch of pieces. With this in mind it shouldn't really matter if one of the stages looks slightly like something else. Also your thing looks pretty different, just because its blue and snake like doesn't mean its a rip.

 

[Pyritie]

I wouldn't trash it. Just maybe change the color - it's the blue that does it.

 

[MasterStryke]

sketched a lot with alchemy this evening


little preview:

 

[Citatus Nim Totren]

Can I use paint? I've got a good idea, but no scanner =[

 

[MasterStryke]

sure

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

You can pretty much use whatever you want, I guess if you really wanted to you could even model the whole thing since:

Both traditional and digital media is accepted for this contest

Yea good point

 

[Citatus Nim Totren]

Er.. oops. Does it HAVE to be a creature? If so, a waste of 30 mins of my time >[

Oh I kind of missed that too, but it does say creature.
I guess one of my skipped ideas was good to skip ^^;

 

[Citatus Nim Totren]

Oh well, I'll just try. I might win for variation from others! I might put faces on my 'Objects' to make them creatures!

 

[Billy the Cat]

I guess what I made is kind of an object/creature too ;P
I'll just see if I can actually get 2 evolution steps for it, otherwise I might just work it out for something else.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Oh well, I'll just try. I might win for variation from others! I might put faces on my 'Objects' to make them creatures!

Things its going to be judged on:

Do the creatures follow realistic anatomy? Like if the structure of the design is balanced and aesthetically pleasing.
How inventive are the creatures? Is it a generic genetic mashup?
How well are the creatures shown to evolve? Do they have traits of their predecessors?

Objects don't exactly have anatomy. I guess you could do like a robot or elemental but I doubt you'll get any points for an object.

 

[Boneknight]

Will be uploading 1. stage WIP in about 20-30 mins

 

[ike_ike]

Robots are fine. Objects, I don't really get how they can evolve

 

[Billy the Cat]

Human technology can evolve in some sort of way.

 

[Citatus Nim Totren]

Ok, there you go. I don't mind for points or anything, but it still has an extensive timeline and information. Still not creatures though =[
BTW, I don't know how to attach a picture, so it's a link. Sorry.

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I'd have to say that pistols weren't used exclusively by criminals.

to post a pic, go to the place and right click the pic. Click copy image location then come here and click the icon that looks like the clip art icon (the mountains with the sun in the corner) and paste that where it says to type the address.


What exactly is a Gauss Rifle? I'd imagine that it shoots some form of gas from the name but your insinuating that it uses magnets instead of gunpowder (A magnet gun would be awesome, you could pretty much shoot anything you wanted to - hello gravity gun).

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

ok. personally, this is getting ridiculous. not trying to ruin anybody's day or anything but...
"Contestants will create a creature, then 2 additional evolutions for it"
What is so hard to understand about the CREATURE part. A creature shall EVOLVE, from one form to another more improved form, a form more adapted to whatever it does. this means organic creatures, robots, elemetals, some sort of monsters. guns do not evolve on their own means

 

[Boneknight]

Heres 1. evolution level WIP:

 

[Xatoga]

Yesh! I finally got a spark of inspiration during some doodling. I give you... Recyclops!

A little salvage-bot that progressively upgrades itself with scrap metal and other trash. The Office gave me the idea for the name. Here's the first sketch of him. I'll hopefully have time and motivation to make more detailed drawings of all three.

Mh, I forgot it said only two evolutions >__>

 

[DeadZero]

We really need more judges, I entered the competition so I don't think I can judge (I would if I could) but if you're not going to participate please judge!

 

[Pyritie]

I've already got paladon down. It's only been a few days since this contest started - we still have plenty of time

 

[DeadZero]

Only Paladon or more? 'Cause I only see 1 judge written down in the thingie.

(I see Palaslayer, is that Paladon in discuise?)

 

[Pyritie]

Just him so far although I'll probably end up judging as well. We'll see.

 

[Billy the Cat]

Perhaps if I happen to work out my newest design instead of adding evolutions I might be able to judge, but I'll see how it goes ^^;

 

[Xatoga]

Ok, there you go. I don't mind for points or anything, but it still has an extensive timeline and information. Still not creatures though =[

C'monnnnn. Not trying to be rude or anything, I see where you were going with this, but it doesnt quite fit the idea of the contest, IMO. But mainly I'm commenting because the dates are crazy-off. The middle ages didnt end around the 1850s, and the 1800s was not when knights wheeled around cannons to siege castles. You're a few good hundred years off.

I agree, get that technological crap outta here, this is a place for nature not science!

 

[Citatus Nim Totren]

...oops I'll try something else, then...

 

[enjoy]

2 evolutions only?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Only two evolutions seems a little limiting. Evolution takes millions of years and thousands of, lets say, "phases". At least for here can we use more then 3 phases?

Btw, that Dragon looks a bit, too happy for your avatar Pyritie...........

 

[Zeverens]

Ohhhh, I'm gonna do something for this contest. As fast as I get my computer back in like 2-3 days.

 

[Pyritie]

I think we were thinking more along the lines of pokémon or zerg races or some sort of upgrade, not evolution in the biological sense. (Although you could do that too if you wanted)

Btw, that Dragon looks a bit, too happy for your avatar Pyritie...........

Nonsense!

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

When I said too, I guess I should have emphasized toooooooooooooo, like its got a little secret that it'd love to tell you to see the look on your face but feels like its best to just let you guess what it's thinking since its better you don't see whats going to happen coming.


I was originally thinking more of a pokemon sense, but still limiting to 2 evolutions still seems a little limited. Would we lose any consideration if ended up being like 3 or 4 evolutions?

 

[ike_ike]

Well, when I wrote the rules I was thinking of Pokemon. Blah. I think having more is a bit ... nyeh. Like those people who submit 20 icons to a Phoenix Trial instead of 4.

Just do 3, and make 'em good, instead of 600.

you copycat

 

[Xatoga]

Just the name, I swear! lol. Though I suppose I could give him a backstory of being built to protect the environment by reusing old parts, yet, over time he realized that the only way to save the earth would be to destroy the humans, so he weaponized himself. Huzzah!

Best explanation for my avatar ever.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Lol, your welcome. I guess you get them often

 

[ike_ike]

 

[dOT145]

Wish I could draw... So far everything looks amazing

 

[UnholyDobry]

Heres my finished version of first level of evolution, i might change few things, I'm rethinking next steps of evolution, I wanted to make next step with 3 eyes bigger body and bigger shell, and next with even bigger body 7 eyes 3 whips..., but I dont want to look like growing up so I might add legs or something to 2nd lvl of evolution. Or you coud give me ideas...

Edit: Nvm i came up with new concept.

 

[Dionesiist]

First stage. The newtwhale with 4 wings.
