Holy shit. 2 days to go man, better hurry it up!

 

[Zealon]

Wow, amazing work Kimberly, I just hope you finish it before the deadline

 

[Jaret]

I like that Chimera... nuff said.

 

[Tails96]

OK, I won't do a Chimera, instead of I am drawing a KRAKEN!!!
WIP nr.1

 

[Arowanna]

@Tails96, holy shit!?
That's really well done, really!

 

[deepstrasz]

Hey,

These are my WIPs.

 

[Tails96]

And here it is, the second WIP and the final work:




Hope you like it.

Story: this is a Kraken from the norse mythology , It is just huge, so it seems like an island...

 

[deepstrasz]

Hey, this is my final entry:

It represents the invocation of a terrifying event (the beast is released out of a god of death's head; ex: Hades). The representation is magically carved on a stone scroll.

I've put my signature on it too.

 

[Tails96]

Really nice, ...

 

[deepstrasz]

Cool art everyone ! Sorry I've been quite busy and I couldn't post until now.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

There are some really awesome concepts popping up as of lately, nice work guys.

@ shiiK
I like the solid black for the lobster bits a lot, makes him look more scorpion-esque; and by association more bad-ass. For refining the colors on said parts I'd recommend you look at a scorpion rather than lobster for how the reflections and coloration works, that could look pretty awesome. The head strikes me as a little awkward though, it seems to big and squishy compared to how solid and sturdy everything else on him looks. The detail on his arms is pretty amazing.

Thanks for the feedback.

I might get some time to refine my entry a little before the deadline after all, if such is the case, you'll all find out in due time.

 

[Krl70]

Well here's another WIP, not final yet i hope, but if i don't get time to update, it is. I'l try to change clothes next update, if there will ever be one.

WIP5, I cropped it, to make the raw part less of a problem, as i can't seem to get it succesful, and made some shards like the bridge.

 

[kola]

omg. nice work tails.

EDIT: Made little changes to my last entry. this is my final entry.

 

[Jaret]

Ok, so i was thinking about this, and so... Well, I'll get back into this contest just for the fun of it. Here's my last wip, that i drew for this contest earlier last month... well, he's a wip, but i'll consider it my last submission/finished:

Zeus finished picture

 

[Tails96]

Nice, Jaret, but I think you should avoid those strange lines... Just am opinion. I hope, this will change, because It is only a wip...

 

[Lich Prince]

Who's judging this?

 

[Jaret]

That's just great... this contest is as good as over, and no one has been signed as a judge...

 

[The World Is Flat]

I said i could as a last resort, let me make that official.

I WILL JUDGE.

 

[-Berz-]

There is still more than a day left, isn't it?

 

[Jaret]

@TWIF: well, I was reffering to the first post, and clearly, there's no judges added there... Pyritie's fault ^^

 

[Tails96]

Yay! TWIF 4ever!

+rep

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Good to see we have at least one judge, then. Thanks, TWIF.

I've updated my entry. I found some time after all.

It... didn't turn out as I hoped it would. I... kind of don't like it that much.... IT is cool quality and all, but i dunno...

 

[Walle]

I don't know if i'm qualified enough but if there really is a need for another judge i can do the judging.

 

[Just_Spectating]

@shiik, the crustaceous part looks kind of dull and kind of like plastic
@goblin, i think you should draw some environment for it

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Oh Mr.Goblin, I'd hate to see that thing in fishtank... not that I have a... fishtank... and even if I did it looks like WAAAAY too big for a fishtank which completely ruins all the former points

I'm just gonna finish with: Good Job!

 

[Deleted member 157129]

@shiik, the crustaceous part looks kind of dull and kind of like plastic

I know, it's partially intentional, though. You can see what it is, which is the most important, and it also brings the focus back onto the character. I've tried to create an original concept based on a Greek god that is not so often mentioned, and I personally think I've achieved a believable image of Phorcys. This contest isn't about making fantastic artwork, it's about representing an idea visually - making a concept art. I appreciate your feedback, though.

@goblin, i think you should draw some environment for it

Environment? As in a background? It's a concept art. The background should be irrelevant to the final judging. It's the character that matters (or whatever is being visualized) in a concept art, not the overall appeal of the artwork. An environment is only necessary in an environment concept.

Just thought I'd try to make that clear one more time.

you don't think environment contributes to a concept?

 

[The World Is Flat]

The concept is placed within an enviroment, if the enviroment is unknown, then it should not be a part of the concept.

But if the enviroment is an aspect, or known part of the world which the enviroment comes from, then it is appropriate.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think environment tells a lot about who or what is in it
and even though it's not mandatory, it doesn't hurt

 

[The World Is Flat]

I agree with that, it does help, but somtimes takes away from the concept.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yes, but i don't think it will for Goblin's

 

[kola]

environnement isn't very useful, but sometimes it is.

For example, the kraken of tails is in the water, but it was useless to draw the water because it's obvious that the kraken is a water creature. The part of the background that is useful of the drawing of tails is the little boat and fishes, because they show us the kraken compared to human creations (so we can imagine how big the kraken is).

 

[The World Is Flat]

Exactly, if Tails drew a massive ship as being tiny next to the kraken, it would help stablize the concpet and the presentation atmosphere.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Unfinished? Yes, If I could get mt hands on scanner before 07:00 PM.

 

[Zealon]
