Concept Competition of Doom -- POLL!

[Rao Dao Zao]

[Pyritie]

You should add all the legal jargon like "you cannot vote for yourself blah blah".

 

[frostwhisper]

It's a tough decision... I can't choose between the pirate and the dragon.
Meh.. I'll flip a coin.

EDIT: Dragon won. So my vote goes to Iristle.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

moyack definitely.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

My vote goes to Xatoga... But it was really hard to dicide between Xatoga,irstle, Elenai, and moyacks..

Goodluck everybody!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Moyack wins for having the most badass robot ever entered in a competition... even though it feels like a transformer rip-off.

Kilwati's entry looks like an over-armored Dreadlord, not much of a mech.

Xatoga's entry is cool, and pirates are always a plus.

Elenai's entry is... special... the whole thing looks a bit "feminine", especially the jewels, and the gun design is a bit strange. Very nice though.

EDIT: The rest of the entries vary from absolute eye rape to moderate.

 

[DwarfZealot]

even though it feels like a transformer rip-off.

wasn't that completly the point?...

 

[Elenai]

Hmmmz...Looks like this will be a tough competition....

"AND they're off...Skippys on the line..O' LOOKIE AT THAT Charlies neck n' neck......"

-Some kind of horse race-

 

[Pyritie]

Actually... iristle's was a WIP. So isn't she disqualified?

 

[RED BARON]

Hmmm Well judging from what to make for wc3... I am chosing betwhen Xatoga and Iristle.. some other are well made.. but wouldnt be good for wc3.

Hmm Chosing Iristle as we realy miss a robot dragon.

 

[Pyritie]

Aww nobody likes my little probe :<

 

[RED BARON]

Aww nobody likes my little probe :<

I like it.. actualy it was the one I found best of them... just not when looking with wc3 eyes..

 

[Killface]

I like iron_warrior's.

 

[moyackx]

Vote for your favourite concept! Remember; it's not artistic merit you're looking for, but what you think will translate best into a unit model for use in Warcraft -- and, of course, which design you like most.

Curious!!! That condition was not in the competition rules.... you put mechanics as a theme and you obtained mechanic concepts as result. If I'd have known about this, I would have taken any warcraft mechanic vehicle and I'd have developed a transformation for it.

Moyack wins for having the most badass robot ever entered in a competition... even though it feels like a transformer rip-off.

rip-off... definitely not, highly inspired maybe. Remember that I'm very keen of transformers.

 

[donut3.5]

Moyack's was the most in depth and the coolest, however I had to go for Xatoga's pirate, due to the creativity behind is and also its look and feel.

I'm pretty sure it was stated somewhere. Your's was great but i cant think of a decent Wc3 model being made of it. Because animating that would be painful beyond all imagination...

 

[moyackx]

Every constest rule must be putted in the first post in order to avoid misunderstandings, so it should be in this post.

The Hive Workshop

[rainbow]Concept Competition of Doom[/rainbow]

Contest Theme: mechanics

Each contestant must create some form of concept artwork in order to put forth their idea; including, but no limited to, bitmap/vector graphics, pen(cil) and paper drawings...

Contest Rules And Conditions

1. No submission may violate any Hive Workshop site rules.
2. The theme 'mechanics' can encompass any of (and probably more than) the following:
   • Vehicles: giant robots, small robots, legged, wheeled, hovering, flying...
   • Structures: turrets, factories...
   • Characters: robots, and, uh...
3. The concept must be composed solely of mechanical/electronic elements.
4. The concept must not be 'ripped' from any other computer game, film...
   • I will judge the line between 'heavily influenced' and 'carbon-copy', seeking additional judgement from fellow moderators/admins if there is cause for dissatisfaction.
5. The concept must have no more than four legs (if it is legged):
   • Because I can't animate that shit.
6. Judging is not solely on quality of presentation; rather, it will be based on the quality of the idea, and how well its shape and form are conveyed (as in, how easily the design can be turned from drawing to 3D model) -- so don't worry if you can't draw a perfect circle.
7. The submitted item must be entirely your own work.
8. At least one 'work-in-progress' (WIP) image of your submission must be posted:
   • to prove the work is your own.
   • to prove the item has been created within the period of the contest.

1. Completed submissions must be physically attached to this thread.

Prizes And Winnings

First Place: 25 reputation points and a model created and animated by myself, textured by kharma. Second Place: 15 reputation points. Third Place: 10 reputation points.

Contest Judging And Voting

• The winner shall be determined by the results of a public poll.

Contest Dates And Deadline

All submissions must be complete and submitted before the deadline.
The contest shall begin on 01 November 2007 and conclude on:

30 November 2007 0:00 AM, GMT​

Hmm, it's not in the first post... so the warcraft theme compatibility condition can't be a condition for judging.

I'm pretty sure it was stated somewhere. Your's was great but i cant think of a decent Wc3 model being made of it. Because animating that would be painful beyond all imagination...

lol!!! Are you underestimating the power of RDZ?? have you seen the Optimus Prime model that he did?? I know he can do it, I believe in his skills.

It does say it.. kinda:

Turned into a 3d model = turned into wc3 model...

 

[Kimbo]

bah. mine was deliberatively ignored, bias opinions I think on that.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Well, even though it apparently doesnt matter, my artistic skill obviously wasnt good enough for my concept to go in the poll, w/e....racist against those from other species I.E. wombats. haters >.>

 

[thisruoy]

Why was mine disqualified?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

My vote goes to SeruK.

 

[SuPa-]

Thisruoy, because it has penis legs, IDK

My vote goes to Moyack

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Why was mine disqualified?

Your robot has an organic brain, making it a bio-mechanical.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I said "unit model for use in Warcraft III" -- I mean technical unit properties should be considered; that's to say, stationary forward-facing attacks, even walk strides... etc etc etc.

The competition did not have anything specifically to do with WC3, and remains thus; though the final model will be produced for the game.

Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification.

You submitted only a single image; the rules clearly stated that a W.I.P. image should have been posted before your final.

Why was mine disqualified?

Dan is right -- it contains organic elements.

... Because animating that would be painful beyond all imagination...

Having examined the concept in some detail, I believe it would be eminently possible. As moyack said, I have done Optimus Prime -- and with that wonderful experience under my belt, I know much better how to go about tackling a concept such as this.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I made the picture in 5 freakin minutes, how am I supposed to W.I.P. that? Ill give you 10 thousand billion million dollars if you can find any evidence whatsoever that I copied it from somewhere.

Easy... if you have postet what you made after 2.5 minutes (meaning when you was half done with it) then you would have postet a WIP.

 

[thisruoy]

Thats bullshit
Just because 1 small little part is organic
You disqualifie it?
Why couldnt you just imagine that there was no brain in the modle

 

[Pyritie]

Because your submission had organic parts. If you redrew it so it didn't have a brain, or if the brain looked more robotic and less organic then it wouldnt've been disqualified.

 

[Kwaliti]

Well, looks like I'm almost on the rock bottom :S

 

[Pyritie]

Woo I have two votes!

As I said at the time -- it is your job to put forth the concept; not mine. Conditions for an entry's acceptance were clearly stated in the competition rules.

This is not a "give a vague idea" contest -- it's a concept contest.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Who was insane enough to vote me? Im not complaining, though..

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Personally I really think thisruoys concept should have been accepted, it was my favorite by a LONG shot.

 

[donut3.5]

Read the rules before you cry.
--donut3.5--

 

[FamousPker49]

Wow cool I have zero votes lol, I was hoping for at least a third place... I mean moyack's is most def cool, but as far as originality it doesnt rank too high, but I'm going to still vote for it because it is cool

 

[LordOglog]

even though it feels like a transformer rip-off.

wasn't that completely the point?...

I thought it should be new and innovative as its concept art, thats the only reason i didn't vote for moyack. l0w_kwaliti woo!

 

[Kwaliti]

WOO! 3rd place ATM!

 

[Pyritie]

I'm tied 5th ._.

Only two votes behind though. Come on people, don't you just think that little probe is cuuuute? :3

 

[Xatoga]

Oh snap how'd I get in fourth? Come one people, PIRATE ROBIT!

 

[Sacrimo]

Didn't expect votes from anyone Art rage sucks...at least I partisipated lol.

Elenai has my vote

 

[Just_Spectating]

i take bribes XD

EDIT: no jk, id love to see the pirate in action XD

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

The poll ain't closed yet, people; you can still canvas for voters.

 

[Pyritie]

Pyritie goes off to make more accounts and use them to vote because Rao forgot to make this a public poll.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I quite intentionally made the poll private. If you want to be a poor sportsman like that, then by all means.

 

[FamousPker49]

Hmm, free rep for people that vote for me?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Don't you dare!

 

[FamousPker49]

Lol jk, I wouldn't be able to bargain enough people to win or come in third lol
