    The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site - FAQ
  • Blood, gore, intense violence, and extreme visions of the grotesque are allowed as long as they follow site rules and are within a good level of reason.
  • The art piece must contain at minimum one character or invention.
  • The art piece must be a newly created work started after the contest begins. Old work is NOT allowed.
  • You must show at minimum one WIP pic in order for your entry to qualify.
  • Please be original in your creative process.
  • You may have a background in your art piece. however, this is a concept art contest, not a landscape contest.
  • Please make sure that your concept is the center focus, and not the background.
  • The art piece must be steam punk, magic tech, or a combination of both.
Disqualification

Disqualification will occur if any of the following reasons are invoked:

Artistic theft, attempting to sabotage another artist's work, voting for yourself in the public poll, breaking the rules, and being a poor sportsman.

You may appeal your disqualification, on your own time.

  • Warcraft Gnomes, Goblins, and Dwarves are a bit cliche, and may affect your score amongst the Judge vote.
  • Try to create something fresh, new, and awesome.

yeah that's basically it ghost, I'll dissect it for you.

Think of punks, real punks.... dirty, poor, rag-tag and mismatched clothing, funky coloured hair in ridiculously shaven styles, tattoo's and junked up apartment buildings.

Now think of an old steam engine (train)... large and metallic, rusty, all cogs and mechanical in design, etc etc.

Now mix that batch in your head for about 20 seconds and add guns for flavour...

.... congrats you just imagined a steam punk :thumbs_up:

This is concept art, not icon.

Plus, that picture looks stolen.

If it is stolen, then he will be automatically disqualified, and receive infractions + neg rep, and quite possibly barred from future contests.

You have a choice..

-prove you made it.
-remove it if you stole it, and avoid punishment.
-face the consequences of thievery.

Also..icons are not exactly what we were looking for in the contest.

Nice idea for a concept. I really liked it and WIP's are so cool. (Both Elenai's and Dionesiist's.) I might join, but just for fun. Because I don't have the right skills to draw and paint. Thanks for this beautiful concept.

Actually it's forzamoto multi account and I should automatically bash him out of this contest. Why? Because he's not suited to be on the Hive.

ok well if wip's are required then i'm dropping one now, it's just the skin tone and lighting I'm working on. Only 10 minutes in so theres obviously alot of work to go. I'm aiming for a bit of a desert punk with alot of body mods smashing down a cigarette.

Oh I haven't chosen his mode of transport yet, I'm thinking of just giving him a few augmented limbs... does that fit within the criteria or not?

EDIT: the detail is slowly creeping in...
