NEW Thunderdome 6 WIPing Post (If you're bold enuff to post em)

[Hazart]

Hi again!

Everybody here that tries to make his/her warrior is a true artist! Keep it coming. These I like a lot:

Benzo: Nice egyptian pose and coloring. Good mood...
Strych9ine: That is awesome and weird! I love it! It'll win!
Ploboyko: Scary! I dont want to fight your design... hahaha...
Joshua: I like your character, but there's something about the coloring that I don't know... I suck with colors so who am I to say... But design is very cool! Feet are fine!
Flint: Very nice! Not very original, but well done. Looks very strong.
JerMohler: Nice comicmood! I love it! Can't wait to see the colors...
Oglzogl: Very personal! Nice!
Rusty: Maori is cool!

Here's my Samurai with ink. Now comes the hardest thing for me: Colors! Oh no... I can't do it! Well... I try... ok... I'd love to hear what you think of my entry.

Viking sketch wip http://bc_.250free.com/Viking.jpg

All made in photoshop with a digital(!) mac mouse (!!).
It took a long time, especially when it´s made with a digital mac mouse from hell...

Something wrong with elbow, will fix, if I have the stamina to finish this with a digital mouse...

[Schlo-mo]

(I'm sure this has been said before about other peices but...) I dont think that the samurai you have drawn qualifies for the correct time periods in the rules.

[Hazart]

Schlo-mo,

Read about origin of Samurais here www.judoinfo.com/samurai.htm (and if my Samurai isn't ok, then it's the dude in front of my pic.)

Good luck everybody!

[oDD]

mcotie : i stared making a roman gladiator , but now i don't know does it count as "warrior of ancient civilization". YEs No, i dont know what to do, can i post it, help :D

[mcotie]

oDD. Yes Romans qualify as Pre-middle ages. Go for it!

mitch

[Flint]

The dividing line between the era of ancient civilizations and the middle ages is roughly 450 AD. If your character comes from a civilization and time frame before 450 AD then you are good to go. If there is a loophole allowed for other primitive cultures outside of Western Europe, for instance, the mayan and aztec cultures of Central America which came to their hight several centuries after 450 AD, I do not know...

In other words oDD, your Roman Gladiator is definitely in the right era, as the 450 ad switch between ancient and middle ages coincides with the fall of the western half od the Roman Empire, if I remember correctly.

Cheers

[oDD]

Great thanks for fast reply guys, here is the thumbinal of my wip( i just started paiting it today, i hope i will finish it in time)

Comment, crit, discuss and all that jazz.

[Carnifex]

aw damn, my eyes bleed from looking at that red the whole time |:|-x

[JoShuA]

carniflex, tone your colors down. If I stare at your pic and then blink my eyes really quick I can see it everywhere I look.


but If that's what you were going for, mission accomplished.
:chug:

[Carnifex]

hehe,well i want to use strong colours(for the moment) to show the glory in which the egyptians lived,but we'll see how i'm going on.
update:
http://www.renderosity.com/photos/ArtistArticle5760.jpg
i'm not too happy with the colour of the *hat*.need to change the background into something enviromental,add small details and shadows/highlights.

[strych9ine]

Josh has a point... with the colors you chose, it'a actually kind of tough to look at the screen for more than a couple seconds. It's like staring into a technicolor sun. The piece would benefit from some neutralization, IMO.

[oDD]

It's not finished but i won't paint today anymore , blood driping from my eyes on my tablet makes it hard to paint.
Ok after about 10 hours of work i got this:

http://www.sport.wroclaw.pl/~sport005/odd/gorilla444434.jpg

any sugestions how to make it look better/cooler ?

[grinn]

bright yellow eyes.

[Hazart]

Great pic oDD. My opinion is that bright eyes art bit korny. Used a lot. It would be too "Terminator" for me then... I find it hard to come up with improvments, 'cause that's so good, but maybe you could work on some details to the shield.

Here's the Samurai! Still lot to do (highlights etc.) and not enought time. AAARGTH! Comments are welcome!

I'm going to enter and lose.

[Flint]

Maybe, maybe not, but such a cool design deserves to be finished. I am really likin it.

[MindCandyMan]

I feel like her stomach is real...like it really is sticking out of the screen. Definitely finish it broken cow it's good!

Hopefully I'll get this done in time for the slaughtering.

[Fourth Nail]

I consider myself slaughtered, that is friggin awesome!!!

My compliments,

Z

[strych9ine]

All of these concepts are friggin' beautiful, guys... I'm ducking out of this one, but I can't wait to see all of the entries finished.

:chug:

[McNallyism]

THeres some very cool stuff happening here, but I have a feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg. No doubt there is a bliztkrieg of even more kick-ass entries just waiting for the last few seconds to appear. Unfortunately, mine won't be among them. I'm gonna have to sit this one out after all because I'm not gonna have access to a computer for the next four days. Oh well. I'll make a new entry to post after the deadline just to say I participated.

Good Luck!

@oDD: Very cool Gladiator, definitely kicks ass!

Anyways: Great work guys! This is a great competition!

[JoShuA]

Carniflex, I see improvement. Your anatomy still needs practice, but you fixed the colors and the highlights look good. This is turning out to be one of your better pieces.
good work.

[Hazart]

How many hours do we have left in actual time zone! :confused:

It's getting better Carnifex!

[coondoggle]

[Prometheus|ANJ]

I have no idea when the deadline is but I made some sketches. Perhaps the top one has the most potential if I amp up the indian spect.

[Rusty Red Robot]

It's official: I don't have time to enter. Man, that bums me out. I've been looking forward to entering a Thunderdome for so long, too, and now I don't have time to!

I was really looking forward to having my ass kicked by all the awesome entries, too!

[Deth Jester]

Some sketches.. not to fond of any of em... I like the idea of the Native American with the mohawk wearing a cavalry uniform... *shrug*
got a little crazy on the perspective of his arm.. hehe

[Prometheus|ANJ]

Who said a barbaric cyclop gladiator can't be a good christian? Actually he just catched a fly. Actually... I have no idea what I'm doing. No anatomy ref either. Bicep on the forehead? I hope not.

http://w1.485.telia.com/~u48508900/cyclops4.jpg


A lot of interesting finished stuff so far.

[Prometheus|ANJ]

Perhaps they are finished, I dunno. I'm mighty tired.

Prometheus : they are all mighty cool, PHARAO is my favorite

[Scratched Glass]

rusty if you see this before you post, might wanna mention that you have a very nasty tangent happening with his hand and the right side of this piece. it stops eye movement all toghether.. otherwise its looking good.
