Concept Art Contest #3 Submission

[Paladon]

Theme: Demonic
Each contestant must create a hand made demonic subject.
Your aim is to bring us something really original and creative. Unoriginal work, such as a random red guy with horns & claws, will influence the judging in a negative way. "Demonic" is something supernatural that is generally described as a malevolent spirit. This includes creatures and objects as well.

Your aim is the creation of something fresh and new, to get rid of the red horned guys.

[Gilles]

When Phoenix Trail #4 and Cinematic Contest #2 are done, we can start this one.

I still don't like the fact that you used an image as an example of what not to make.

 

[Paladon]

Okay, i will post some better possible images here. Or do we want to remove the image completely?

 

[Gilles]

I like images for banners, just get a more suited one. I've found a couple that aren't "typical".
Although I'm not sure about copyrights and all that.

Example 1

Example 2

 

[Paladon]

How's about this?

 

[Elenai]

Perfect.

(I am also pleased that you used my template)

 

[FrIkY]

Nice! ^^ Is drawing a sketch on paper then scanning it, allowed?

 

[bounty hunter2]

I like this, demonic city here I come ^^

 

[Paladon]

Perfect.

(I am also pleased that you used my template)

What else, my lord.

Nice! ^^ Is drawing a sketch on paper then scanning it, allowed?

You can draw a sketch, scan it in, edit it with the computer, whatever.

 

[bounty hunter2]

When Phoenix Trail #4 and Cinematic Contest #2 are done, we can start this one.

I still don't like the fact that you used an image as an example of what not to make.

So basically this has a sure green light?

 

[Paladon]

The Phoenix Trial is going to end today or tomorrow, the Cinematic Contest sometime soon as well.

It will be hosted then.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Great then. The cinematic contest still has a poll for almost two weeks so we will have to wait a bit. I don't know why it was put to a so long time but fine by me ^^

 

[~Void~]

Does it have to be digital or can I draw something by hand? I don't have my tablet yet... D:

 

[Paladon]

You are allowed to draw something by hand as well, of course.

 

[~Void~]

K, and if I draw it by hand, do I have to show a fuckin WIP?

 

[Elenai]

Show something is all we ask.

 

[Just_Spectating]

that skeleton on the main screen was sort of my idea... Damnit.

i would enter this if my scanner worked.


and when my computer is fixed :'/

 

[ike_ike]

My blue skinned, bald guy is gonna win me this comp.

 

[Paladon]

Judging Criteria:
Creativity (35%)
Quality (35%)
Appearance (15%)
Theme (15%)

 

[~Void~]

I honestly think theme should be worth at least a third. Why? Well think about it. I could make an amazing drawing of a peach pie and still win with 90% right now.

 

[ike_ike]

Concepts ARE about ideas, no?

+Creativity
+Theme

 

[Paladon]

If you don't catch the theme with your submission, your creativity will be rated low as well.
EDIT: Modified the criteria.

 

[Gilles]

If you don't match the theme, you don't get accepted. Although we're pretty lenient with that usually.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

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, just as the contest's theme.

check, check, check and check!!

just kidding. i wont push it too far

 

[Nichita_00]

Where can I get in the contest?

 

[Paladon]

Have some patience, the contest hasn't started yet.

 

[Nichita_00]

Ok, I'll make my concept in the meantime

 

[-Berz-]

Damn, I'm always saying I'll join one of these, but my drawing/painting skills are so-so, rather bad :S

Or I usually say I'll join and i forgot about it D:

Dunno, lets just hope that some classes will be boring enough, to make me draw

 

[Kwah]

So.

Step 1) Purchase tablet.

 

[Just_Spectating]

step 0) purchase tablet.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

step 1) steal a tablet.

lol. just joking. i am gonna have to colour everything by using the touchpad.
RSI here i come!!!!

 

[Nichita_00]

step 2) have a tablet

 

[-Berz-]

Or draw something in paint, spray is pretty useful D:

 

[Gilles]

MSpaint is my sistine chapel.

 

[Paladon]

>.<
You should really use another programm if you decide to enter -BerZeKeR-.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

As my friends says:

Paint is your friend.

Wich is a complete fail, he says that

Maybe i will join, drawing something on my tablet. Not sure though, so don't count me in

 

[Nichita_00]

Paint rocks. I loved how EclecticAsylumArt did mona lisa in it Proe! (THAT IS MADNESS!)

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Yea, really, Mona Lisa in paint , and it looks awesome O.O!
But thats offtopic, so lets stop this "Paint R0x" conversation.

I still need an idea, what is an Original Demon/devil/Evil thing? As you just can't draw a red guy with horns xD

 

[viiva]

I'm making a centaur I think
But other ideas might be... Demonic tree-like thing? Or something that lives in poisonous swamps.. or combine it Maybe a demon that lives in the water but has a fish lookalike on its tail to catch predators? Or you could make a vulture that carries a nest of smaller furious vultures on its back. Or a demon goblin that carries a smelter on his belly and forges insane weapons. Perhaps a demon that flies on a cloud of wasps or a garden demon that cuts off your hands with a big pair of scissors :O Or an undead sand pirate that sails across the deserts to search for his egyptian phoenix parrot but plz dont make a centaur

 

[AirHead]

I think I will draw something like Prides true form, from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga (large expanse of blackness with tons of mouths and eyes stretching across it), although it will probably have more form and shape than that.

 

[Just_Spectating]

mine's some rock creature that rises from the depths with magmus breath capable of melting faces

 

[Nichita_00]

Mine's a demon of madness and confusion

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

do we start concepting?

 

[Paladon]

Not yet.
I'll host the contest in the next few days, whenever the results for the Cinematic Contest are out.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Gilles told us that most likely tomorrow the results are out ^^

 

[Gilles]

I guess you can start this.

 

[Xatoga]

I've got a really good idea for a succubus of sorts. But don't worry, it'll be much different than normal.

 

[Paladon]

Let's go then.

 

[Gilles]

You're going to host and post, right Pala?

 

[Paladon]

Yep, right now.
