Concept Art Contest Poll #2

[Paladon]

Well, there were a lot of further theme suggestions so we opened the advanced poll now.

Please vote for your favourite theme for the next Concept Art Contest.

 

[Volvox]

Nice, that was fast, good job Paladon

 

[bounty hunter2]

Medieval city

 

[Zombie]

I miss Modern warfare :/

 

[Paladon]

I miss Modern warfare :/

A bit too late, it´s already the second, final, poll.

Let´s keep the idea in mind for the following contest.

 

[~Void~]

If Demons gets approved, I'm going to slap someone.

 

[Kimbo]

You mean we have to wait like 10 days? Urgh :/

 

[Just_Spectating]

favorite warcraft character?

it should be like, favorite Blizzard character

 

[Denu]

Why not mix it up a bit? Combine the top two compatable choices. It would be cool to do futuristic demons, favorite warcraft city, or maybe mythical scenery.

 

[GooS]

GO CITY!

It's a fun concept

 

[Kwah]

Fantasy city. pl0x no medevial.

 

[Just_Spectating]

elenai will totally pwn up in fantasy city

 

[Kwah]

But it can be whateever. Floaty, or underground or . . . INVISIBLE.

 

[Just_Spectating]

mine will be invisible ftw


or rather, Super duper white zone where they are too advanced to have outlines!


it'd be fun to draw an abomination though.

 

[GooS]

Ahhh crap, I voted wrong, stupid medieval city, I meant fantasy.

 

[Just_Spectating]

a mod could fix that.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

demon or mythical sounds good. i voted demon anyways.
what is "good & evil" ?

 

[Just_Spectating]

like a cop and a robber?

 

[Paladon]

You mean we have to wait like 10 days? Urgh :/

We don´t have to.

 

[Kwah]

Fantasy city was supposed to win.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

damn, i haven,t the HERO/Adventurer

D;

hey i have a question, since i never participated to this competition before, do we have to draw something on computer? or paper drawing is aloud?..

 

[bounty hunter2]

Demons win... Meh why only creatures? Lets draw buildings at stuff...

 

[Elenai]

elenai will totally pwn up in fantasy city

<3

...why are demons winning...geez...that is SOOOOO fricken cliche.

You don't need hardly any imagination anymore to put horns, hooves, teeth, and bat wings on something...this isn't 1240 AD.

FANTASY CITY FTW!

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

doesnt really matter. last one we had, i drew and inked on paper and coloured it on computer

FANTASY CITY FTW!

And you don't need any imagination to throw together a bunch of buildings and spires either. But to do anything worthy of placing, you'd need to make it creative and aesthetically pleasing. And more people want to see gruesome, adorable, or disturbing, yet all imaginative takes on demons, than they do for a city.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

yeah, but imagine ''EPIC HEROS'' how majestic and dark or powerfull it could be, with the ''EPIC HEROS'' you can make an orc, or a tauren, or even the Darkest warlock...

but demon is nice, but it will be a very very dark and red coloring thing..

 

[Just_Spectating]

demon is so.. yesteryear

 

[Devine]

Mythical Creatures
I feel like elves toyear.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Meh if the theme ends up to be demons I'l just draw a city and say it's a demon -.-

 

[Gilles]

And then you'll get disqualified. : )

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

maybe be it it was a demonic city made of crawling flesh and teeth and bones. something like hell in Sandman series.
of course it would need tonnes of detail and effort to make look real

 

[Gilles]

That would be accepted, and extremely awesome.

 

[Paladon]

"Demonic City" sounds very nice Pyramid[...].
How´s about that ?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

when i say...

... of course it would need tonnes of detail and effort to make look real

...what i really mean is that to draw somehthing that complicated and that detailed, one would have to slave day and night with a pencil and so much hours would be spent paintin those details that who ever finishes it will either

a) have broken their fingers in the artistic fury
or
b) is in a hospital, recovering from mental exaustion
and so would probably be unable to post their work
another scenario is that (which is probably most likely)

c) many people would be too lazy to draw something that massive in the first

in which case we would have one or two entry of a house with horns
i was just suggesting a possibility to bounty hunter.
too much epic is bad for you. i like epic stuff but i doubt people will be willing to slave away for some contest. something more simple and enjoyable

 

[viiva]

Nature Scenery

 

[FrIkY]

Hmm, Demons... alright! Time for my carrot demon! Or, should I make Milkshake demon... urh...

 

[The_Silent]

<God vs Evil

If it end up being demonic anyway, i was thinking of a demonic skyscraper, with horns and all that.

 

[viiva]

I'm thinking of making a rock-like turtle with a small tree on it's back
And add some spikes to make it demonic

 

[Paladon]

Well, if we choose demonic, let´s pay special attention to the "orginality" aspect of "demon". Creating a red guy with some horns and claws is simply unoriginal.

 

[Volvox]

Red demons are cliche and tend to look more like Santa nowdays. If we're to go demons(and it seems we are), refrain yourselves from ugly red-skinned horny badass creatures, for the sake of originality ^^ Basically, i second you, Paladon.

 

[Paladon]

If demons are choosen, just as it currently looks like, i suggest a hosting date sometime after the 24th febuary (-> deadline of the Texturing Competition).

Here's a possible layout:

Concept Art Contest #3

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 the random red guy with horns & claws above, 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, just as the one above.

Contest Rules And Conditions

• All entries must follow The Hiveworkshop's rules.
• 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.
• 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 deal with the contest's theme.
• Artistic theft, attempting to sabotage another artist's work, voting for yourself in the public poll and breaking the rules results in disqualifiaction at least.

[FrIkY]

So... we have to make red horny badass creature...? sucks...

 

[Paladon]

So... we have to make red horny badass creature...? sucks...

If you would have read it, you would know the answer.
No.

 

[Volvox]

I like the layout

 

[bounty hunter2]

Come on people... Demon city sounds better but demons as creatures :/

 

[viiva]

I don't really mind the theme but could you start it a little earlier perhaps? I'm away for a while next week and when I know the theme I can start drawing already 1 week earlier wouldn't hurt anyone right ^^

 

[Paladon]

Well, as stated in the layout, the random red guy with horns & claws will be counted as very "unoriginal".
If you decide to make a demonic city, go ahead with it. Declaring it to the contest's single theme reduces the possibility to express creativity too much, whileas the "demonic" theme leaves a huge and free space for original ideas and submissions.
And it's the public opinion. So we should go ahead with it.

I'm going to post the submission in the next few days.

 

[Volvox]

Can't wait to start, tho i have no concept yet.

 

[Paladon]

I'd like to have around 40 votes (37 for now), since the theme "demonic" may still be beaten.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Oh okay if by demons a city can pass through. Me likes ^^
