old school style.

(it was either that song, or inspector gadget or for giggles the Barney 'i love you' theme song).
bwahaahahahaaaa!

[redehlert]

http://lilfilipina.imeem.com/playlist/UQ-aisZp/

You talkin' to me?

[redehlert]

no....mike....you're the best!...it's the first song on that katamari damacy cd that is in the link i posted for rustikof. oy....listen to it...you'll understand.
;)

[Undertow]

nonononononononononooooooo no no the music isn't that bad but that's no battle music. Here, let me hook you up rustikof.
You need music that makes you sound like a bad ass (http://gavinengel.vox.com/library/audio/6a00ccff98b75c6ea500ccff8f85c34064.html)

I was considering changing my theme song to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZQWUY33sA0&mode=related&search=) but even some things are too campy for me.

[tagHeuer]

I'm in, for my theme song im going to have to go with this classic.

http://www.theparticle.com/files/library/audio/doom/d_e1m1.mid

[redehlert]

hahaha....mike....gotta love the conan theme song, but nothing tops big trouble in little china. ho boy...the 80s were brutal with the music videos. ;)
cheers!
d

ps. i hope someone on our sides takes the south park 'blame canada' song. hahahaa.....

pss. um....where are the opponents hiding?

[Raizor]

I still here.

I am summoning some 80's cheesy video effects to attack you all with. My first attack is lightning. I choose neon pink instead of blue. I also throw in some bad synth music, remixed so much it sounds like Miami Vice.

Cheers to both the Conan, Doom and Katamari themes. I give them a +5 to defend against cheesy theme music.

redehlert- your music takes so long to play, I think we would have time to rebuild the US/Canada border with Maple Syrup and Pancakes. MMMMM, syruppy goodness and poutine. :)

[yungks.ae]

vancouver is obviously going to win!!

[rustikof]

vancouver is obviously going to lose!!!

*sticks tongue out*

[redehlert]

yungks.ae - are you joining in the fray or what? i can't tell where you're from.
just curious.

[Raizor]

"yungks.ae - are you joining in the fray or what? i can't tell where you're from.
just curious."

That might be one of my 1000 alias's.

Thanks for any support for kicking the Cattle from Seattle group.

A timbit to the Supporters of Vancouver. (Honey Dip only)

[R'john]

I'm in...here's my theme video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbvP7dT3Dx0

peace

[Raizor]

Nice one R'John, thanks. Poking fun of East Indians. :)

It gives me the chills thinking how much Indian films rip off other music/films. No real copyright laws in India it seems.

"Hey,Seattle! Somebody gonna get hurt real bad. I think you know who it is."

[redehlert]

um...yeah...it's you. :er:

[bestow]

Lets do this, i'm certainly not the best or brightest of the seattle area, but i like to tango!

My video, should i make a sculpture? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufQD5Y31ZA)

[Undertow]

"Hey,Seattle! Somebody gonna get hurt real bad. I think you know who it is."
Vancouver?

[Raizor]

It seems so. With the lack of Canadians, we seem to have lost already.

Anywho, I guess we might be able to start this weekend, possibly. Holidays are over.

Russel Peters, save me!

[rustikof]

i have updated my song, and the rockitude has sky rocketed...for all you katamari haters, you can go suck it! SUCK IT I SAYS! MEHHHHH

....

like typical canadians, never ones to show up when there's war at hand....oh how you all long to be washington. the home of champions!

[Raizor]

We are busy making our REAL beer, not piss colored/flavoured water you guys like to drink. ;) Don't forget Real Maple syrup and Back Bacon, food of the gods. And I am also working on my accent, Indian that is.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xsnue4r1hKM

[rustikof]

agggh i want more canadians to sign up!
I CRAVE THE TASTE OF BLOOD!!

SWEET, MAPLEY BACONISH BLOOD!!!

AGGGHHHHH>:D >:D >:D >:D

[redehlert]

hey vanners...i've just contacted to of your peeps in hopes of getting them involved so as to balance the table a bit more.
will see if they show.
cheers,
d

ps. raizor...that was a hysterical clip. roflmao!

I actually take offense to that. A good friend of mine is a brewer and his Scottish Ale kicks the living shit out of any Canadian beer I've ever had. BTW, our great state was named after George Washington (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc9y5ayeeb4) and that in itself should instill fear in every Canuck heart.

[Raizor]

Yeah, Russel rocks. His "Outsourced" DVD really goes after everyone. No one is safe from him.

As for my peoples, I will be going to our Sunday session this weekend, so I will mention it. We should be all back from holidays this weekend.

I actually don't drink anymore. Maybe once every 4 months. If I feel like it. I like Khalua (spelling?) and plain milk. Punjabi Cow as I like to call it.

[R'john]

yo dudes,have any more van city all stars joined up? When is this challenge gonna happen...I'm ready to leave Seattle in a pile of rubble...:bashful:

[tagHeuer]

I’ve been considering moving to Whistler and living the ski bum life style for a few years. If no more Canadians step up I’ll represent Whistler and even out the score.

[Raizor]

We'll accept them. Betray your peeps, we offer Back Bacon, Real Beer, and Maple syrup. Poutine also included. We'll just charge Justin's credit card!

[redehlert]

tag....yer it!
forget waiting...lets get this party started.
lets start talkin' topics.
i've updated the match to reflect who is on whos side.

[Raizor]

A) Animal

E) Geographical Neighbours
F) Politcians
H) Belly Button Lint
I) Thumb Wrestlers
J) Yo Mamma
K) Week Old UnderWear/Panties

[redehlert]

[rustikof]

Canada's alphabet actually only consists of those letters he listed...

some topics:

1)space pirates
2)high fantasy!
3)personifications of the state of washington vs. the whatever of vancouver (you crazy people have provinces, right?)
4)vooodoooo
5)film noir
6)middle eastern theology
7)yourself as a super hero
8 )..space gladiators
9)steampunk?
10) all of the above

[redehlert]

hmm....voodoo sounds decent.
i'll try to get a list of my own later on today.
once there are suggestions by the remaining players, we'll then pick one topic out from each person and then vote.
cool?

True. Years of bacon and beer comsumption does that to a nation.

Topic: Yo Momma's Voodoo Week-Old Underwear + other topic + other topic + other topic!

[R'john]

Yo yo yo,

what about vampires(many forms to choose from)or your version of creatures like bigfoot,wolfman,nessie,zombies...etc...

steampunk and voodoo sound cool too...

lets battle...:wink:

[Raizor]

I like Steampunky Brewster and Voodoo. Sounds sweet. Throw in a Jive turkey or too.

I picked up a book called: "Manga Matrix: Creating Unique Characters using the Japanese Matrix System"
Author: Hiroyoshi Tsukamoto

I would pick one up if your into Character Designer or these ThunderDome events. Good stuff for design, great section on setting up backgound detailed information, or if you like to just wing design, there's some tidbits on that too.

Something to think about:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ldfBe75S9Q0

[tagHeuer]

some more topic ideas;

Metal album cover
Jealousy
High tech low life
Eat and die
Global warming
Cults
Killer Fawn
High 5s
A bad bird.
A bird riding a bird.
A creature’s soul leaving its body in a battle.
Post-apocalyptic Disneyland.
Love from above


I think metal album cover would be awesome. But Steampunky Brewster and voodoo are cool too.

[redehlert]

lol...nice one's taggykins.

[Undertow]

Man, this thread is weaker than the skating abilities of a Canadian hockey player. Let's start getting crap sorted out and prepare to do battle.

[tagHeuer]

Official beer of this thread.

http://www.kokaneebeer.com/images/newbottle.jpg

So which one of you Seattle SockJobs am I going to take on?

[Undertow]

BS! My website is no longer active sooo.. um.. I can't post the picture of the Pyramid Hefeweizen tap handle that I want to. F' Kokanee

[Raizor]

Yeah, let's get started. I want to lose, quickly.

[Undertow]

I find it hard to believe that there's only 2 of you up in Vancouver that hang out.

[Raizor]

We had about 5 people for a few weeks that would meet. Then people slowly stopped showing up due to school, work, etc.

Mainly, R'John and myself are the only ones that try to meet on Sunday's. 2100 may come once in a blue moon.

It's like the last group. That one died too.

There are other groups that meet, but they either go to bars or expensive cafe's .

Our wonky weather isn't helping. SketchCrawls have been cancelled due to our local weather.

[Undertow]

Alright, then I motion that this Drizzledome is delayed until it's a definite DRIZZLEdome and not the current SNOWdome.

[rustikof]

aww lame i crave the mapley blood of those stinky canucks :(

they're just scared.

SCARED I TELLS YA SCARED LIKE ZEE WEEMENZ THAT THEY ARE!


once again, the U.S. proves its superiority over Canada.

[Raizor]

I talked to R'John recently this Sunday. He's up for some American bloodletting. I say we go forth with a Mini-Drizzledome to let loose some artwork. Delaying it would make it fizzle out faster.

[Undertow]

Alright, bring it on hosers. I tried to give you time to improve, but you said neigh.. I want a piece of some Canadian hose heads;) So who wants a piece? I know that Eli (Tag) is going to bust out some cartoony funny boy stuff, and R'John is going to do his whole "I love American comic books" angle so R'John seems like the most likely pairing with Eli taking on Dave, and Raizor taking on rusti.

[R'john]

lets do this guys...I never really took past thunderdomes so seriously...but for the honor of Canada and the indian thriller actor...I'm gonna give you all you can handle,and just a bit more to totally devestate our American Counterparts...:android:

What's the deadline gonna be like...I say at least a month to do a peice...what do you guys think?

also...on another note,any of you going to the emerald city comic con? I'm thinking of going if I can get enough cash to make it over...

Ok,here are my suggested topics...

Cryptozoology
Astronauts discovering and visiting new alien planet
ghosts
Vikings
voodoo or some spiritual kind of art
caniballism
Werewolves,vampires,monster mayhem
redesign of literary character
organic armored vehicles,characters,soda\
epic battle...your choice of era and warriors...
ZOMBIES...just thought of this one...
mock up of rpg game profile(something you'd expect to see in a dungeons and dragons book,or magic,etc...
Astroboy visiting another dimension and becoming...king,moviestar,warrior,theif,drug dealer,A-FED(like K-Fed),gangster,the terminator...:upset: :upset: :upset:


there you go...
I aint afraid of nobody...
lets do this...

later y'all:rendered:

[Undertow]

I want a piece of the R'John;) BTW, I will probably be in attendance if I'm not doing some crazy Navy air crew stuff that weekend. Furthermore, if anyone decides to come down to Seattle for a day and needs a place to crash, I'm willing to volunteer a queen size inflatable mattress for buying my wife and I dinner.

[redehlert]

i've been busy....so, do me a favor and each of you pick 1 topic you really want to do from all that have posted ideas. then let me know what it is. i'll then create a poll to vote.
looks like mike want r'john....fine by me.
i want tag.

cheers,
d

[R'john]

the topic I like is one that I suggested...classic monsters like vampires(lots of different kinds),werewolves,frankenstein,etc,...your interpretation,done in your own personal way:confident

peace y'all

[Raizor]

I accept. A month is good for me, due to work.

[redehlert]

i'm down with that same concept r'john....classic monster of your choice (dracula, werewolf, frankie, creature from the black lagoon, the mummy)....

raizor - a month is fine for me too.

[R'john]

Cool,when do we vote for the topics?
When do we start?
What dimensions?
I hope digital(working in photoshop) is acceptable cuz that's what I'm into at the moment.

peace

I'm excited guys,can't wait to see what you all come up with...:rendered:

[redehlert]

digital or traditional is fine....no photography/multimedia though.
dimensions....should for 800 x 600, but i'm open to suggestion.
lets wait to see what other peeps suggest as their top topic...then i'll set up a poll.
sound good?

[R'john]

cool,everything sounds good...\w/

[2100]

Yay! I'm inininiii!

[rustikof]

[rustikof]

oooooooo baby 2 vs. 1....

luckily any american is worth ATLEAST 2, if not a thousand canadians.

YOUR SOUL IS MINE

[Raizor]

Yeah. It's like drinking two weak American beers to get the full affect of one Canadian beer.

[Undertow]

Yeah. It's like drinking two weak American beers to get the full affect of one Canadian beer.
Real men drink vodka or scotch.

[redehlert]

or patrón tequila!
and don't you realize that seattle is in da hizzo with microbrews? we don't do weak. hahhaha....

[Raizor]

I'm still waiting for Starbucks to start making lousy tasting coffee-frappe-mocha-complicated drinks into alcoholic drinks.

[redehlert]

well at least you got the suckiness of the regular drinks correct. and it's already an alcoholic bevvy (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6986467/)...

"Starbucks Coffee Liqueur, made in collaboration with Jim Beam Brands Co., will be sold in restaurants, bars, and liquor stores, not in coffeehouses. Alcohol content is 20 percent by volume, or 40 proof."

sigh....is nothing sacred?

[chaosrocks]

mmm real men? I drink scotch... or Gin
vodka is for people who don't like ETOH

chaos

[redehlert]

ho ho! chaos chimes in!
i drink milk....it does the body good. rawr!
;)

[Undertow]

ho ho! chaos chimes in!

[kadianimation]

I'm in. From vancouver XD

[Undertow]

Sounds like Vancouver has plenty of contestants on the "Artists from Seattle own artists from Vancouver" challenge. BTW, what's the due date on this stuff? I'm busy as hell

[redehlert]

Due date: February 18, 11:59 PM PST (if you can't get something done by this time, you're fired.

[redehlert]

[kadianimation]

I like danger; pick my poison for me.

[rustikof]

i'll take on everyone! WASHINGTON WASHINGTON WASHINGTON VIVA LA WASHINGTON

[redehlert]

[Keng]

I'm not officially joining yet, will have decided by tomorow, until then GO GO VANCOUVER!

[redehlert]

it's like seattle is sparta! bring it! bring it!
cheers,
d

[Undertow]

So I'm taking on 2 guys now? Seems a little one sided to me. Vancouver should ad in one more guy to even the odds a bit;) OH I JUST WENT THERE! I'll be starting last minute on this one, I have way too much freelance work right now to focus on the competition.

[redehlert]

Bwahaahaha! That's how we roll, hoss!
You went there...I followed. I saw. I laughed uncontrollably and then went for a coffee.
Later!
D

[Raizor]

Yeah. We are getting more members. Scary? Seems there's a turn around in people interested in joining our Sketch Group.

It could be the Justin Ghost Cookie that is helping. Ghost Cookie is great at manipulation.

Viva Justin Ghost Cookie!

I too will be a little rushed with my entry, I can't seem to nail down a good design. I blame R'John's hero worship-age of Van Damme.

[2100]

In a 2v1, are we supposed to collab on one piece or are we counting votes or something?

[Undertow]

You can collab on the piece.. I have no problems with that:) We have a little over 2 weeks to get our entries done. I'll start thinking about mine on the 15th and have it done by the 17th.

[redehlert]

i'll start thinkin' about mine on the 17th and finish on the 15th with three days to spare. i'm that good.
no collaborations....you each submit your own work. i don't want to hear about how one person did the lines and the other one colored within those lines. so sayeth the shepherd....

Whoa, sirio....good pick! okay i read the instructions on this again....i get it now....not sure what monster i am going to do....So its Keng and I verses Sirio then hey?

-d

[redehlert]

naw....with the 2 from bc and 1 from canada it's every man for himself.
it's the best i could do with the pairings.
so we're all clear now?
good luck!

[dtran]

Very clear now, thanks redehlert.This is tough.....there are so many good ones....i am thinking frankenstien or the fly..decisions, decisions....will pick one and start tonight.

whats everyone else picking?

[Sirio_Brozzi]

DOH! I was gonna choose werewolf... now I feel unoriginal. Meh, oh well. Just gonna have to have a furry battle then >:D

A fluffy battle it is then. Have at you! /m\

[rustikof]

QUICK QUESTION!!!

does ANY monster fall under this (like ancient monsters, mythology, etc--anything considered a "monster") fall under this?

[redehlert]

hey rustikof, let's stick to the guns here:
(Sci-Fi, Classic, or Fantasy)
well....since mythic isn't in the mix above, let's go with the characters we all know and love from any of these genres.
aw hell, ya know what...i really don't care. if you want a mythic creature then go nuts. i'd rather you be animated about creating something and kickin' tail in the process.
;)

Does that mean I can do Lovecraft or D&D Monster Manual redesigns?;)

[redehlert]

go nuts, sweet tits.

[rustikof]

alright shweet thanks for the clarification sir:)

[Undertow]

go nuts, sweet tits.
way ahead of you:spam:

[Sirio_Brozzi]

go nuts, sweet tits.

This changes everything. :I I might repick a monster then, if its cool.

[ronaldK]

oh man! thats a totally diferent thing then! =(
ima start all over then, coulda picked something waay different too.

[redehlert]

yes....the force is gettin' stronger as the option opens up to be:

MONSTER (but please, give reference to what it is...it'd be swell if we knew who/what it was).

[ronaldK]

bah, personally i think its more of a challenge to spin a classic character than to just make whatever "monster" we can think of, (there are thousands in any d&d enciclopedia), also makes this whole thing more fun cause it requires deciding on estrablished concepts and pushes you to ... whatever, its not my call..

ima'stick with black lagoon! go classics!!

[redehlert]

and i'm sticking with either frankie or thing. ;)
i hear ya rk. i hear ya.

[Undertow]

I'll be a bit ambiguous and say that I'm planning on doing something that involves aliens from another planet.

[ronaldK]

WoW.. my head hurts..

[Sirio_Brozzi]

I have re-chosen the monster. ITS A SECRET. Lets revive this thread a bit.

[Undertow]

I :heart: Japan. That's my hint.

[redehlert]

expect the daemon, aka frankenstein's monster to make it's fateful appearance here in a few weeks.

[Raizor]

Hello.

I was thinking of the Creature from the Black Lagoon too, but I can find something else.

[R'john]

I was thinking of doing my rendition of jean claude van damme(I'm a fan)...jokin,I'm doing frankenstein...

peace y'all

[Marco Mazzoni]

D'oh, I wish I'd have seen this thread sooner. Oh well, guess I'll play cheerleader this round.

GO SEATTLE!! WOOOT!

[Undertow]

heh.. I haven't started yet;)

[2100]

me neither -_-

[redehlert]

Hey Guys,

There's a lot going on in my world right now and it's a bit difficult to focus and get things done. I've made a command decision as to what stays and what gets put aside for a while. That said, I'm departing from the CA.org forum which means that when this competition is over, someone will need to create a new thread and post the finished art in it.
Tag, you're back on the Seattle crew battlin' it out against BC. Go get em tiger.
I'm sorry to do this to you guys....but I've gotta jet and get my house in order. I plan on immersing myself in studies, techniques and theories and where they lead me is where I'll be. :)

All the very best,
Dave

[rustikof]

aw say what?
where is you studying at?
:(:(:(

[Sirio_Brozzi]

oh crap...Well good luck nonetheless Red, hope you achieve what you need to...Its a real bummer to see you leave.
Im in progress with the design so far.

[ronaldK]

HEy, good luck on your journey red! best of luck.

my schedule's been kinda hectic lately tho i have an idea where the design is going. im very sort on time but ill do my best to have something soon.

[Raizor]

See you soon, Red.

[vivekthegamer]

i am interested

[Undertow]

F' me I have until Sunday to get finished and I haven't started. I'll get to work on Friday night. I'm way behind the power curve here. I've been up to my eye balls with work lately designing toys, art directing CTech and our work for 2 other big companies. Everybody cool with a Sunday night at midnight deadline AKA 00:00 Monday morning? Do you guys want me to moderate this one and handle the final thread for submission? I will drop some e-mails off on Friday to round up some guest judges if needs be.

Vive, you're way late to the show, let's see how things go down in the final round. I'm sure that Vancouver will want a rematch;)

-Mike

[2100]

Monday is good!

[mondegreen]

I want in on this drizzledome... put me in!

[Undertow]

You can take Dave Ehlerts place if you want Monde. Hey, where are you going to school right now?

[rustikof]

hahaha WOW i totally thought this thing was due next week for some reason and so i started on it a couple days ago thinkin YES I AM SO FRICKIN ON TOP OF THIS!!!!...

and then i just checked today...

heh. i procrastinate without even REALIZING it..it was meant to be.
luckily i rule and am almost done anyways, so you sucka'z in vancouva are unfortunately not free of the demise you are about to be experiencing...

SO WAIT, INQUIRING MINDS MUST KNOW:

is this due on monday then? or sunday. AGHHHH!!!!:xpld:

[Undertow]

Sunday night at midnight.

[Sirio_Brozzi]

Working hard and seeing results..Should have a nice image to pressent sunday..woot. Havent heard much from the VC dudes..where'd they all run off to? :1

[Keng]

I'm finishing mine up now. See ya tomorow night.

[Undertow]

I'll be doing mine tomorrow.

[R'john]

Hey guys,

I hate to do this,but I would like to ask if the contest be pushed back a week. Damn my procrastination. It would be cool if we could push it back,but if not,I'll try to post something...Anyways,I know more people than me would appreciate the extra week...

later...

R'john

[Undertow]

All in favor say aye? I've been busy too but I'll be carving out time to do my piece tomorrow.. although I'd prefer to work on my contract work instead.

[R'john]

aye...I'd really appreciate it...at least that way I can do something decent.

[rustikof]

just like a canadian...last one to arrive when they're really needed!

its ok, I understand that you can't compete with the big boyz.

an extra week would be nice, but we've gotten quite an extension already at this point..I say 30% yay 70% nay.

[tagHeuer]

Hey who do I send mine too….?

[2100]

Hey who do I send mine too….?

You can send it to me. Or you can spend another week on it, make touch ups and such :P

AYE

[Raizor]

Please extend by one week. Damn work is giving me nose bleeds. Sniffing gas and diesel is messing with my health.

[dtran]

sooo...is there an extension?

[Sirio_Brozzi]

Wouldnt mind an extension either, but as Rustikof mentioned weve already had a few.

Edit: It would be fair to give one seeing that a bunch of people joined up recently.

[Undertow]

Alright, I have proposal. R'John and I are competitors in this thing so we'll extend for the week. Everyone else has their pieces due by midnight. Fair?

[Sirio_Brozzi]

Undertow, just give a general extension to everyone. One more week and the pieces will look much better, I think the same could be said about everyone.

[2100]

general extension sounds good!

[R'john]

cool,an extension sounds great. I think the others need a week extension too,I know the van conceptart group would definitely appreciate it...

thanks undertow...later

off to procrastinate more...joking of course. My request for an extension was due to my life being busy 90% and me being lazy 10%...I'll do something good for next sunday...

lets make it the final extension...what do you think?

peace dudes

[Undertow]

1 week extension. Any late entries past that point are disqualified. R'John I feel you, I'm trying to art direct one property, go through IP development on the second on the concept art end, and I have illustration work to boot. I would've knocked something out today but luckily you guys all wanted a bit of time. Official deadline is March 11th at 9 PM.

[R'john]

yeah undertow,I'm constantly trying to juggle between work(concept design),peices for an art book me and some people are putting out,my anatomy and portraiture classes,and on the side,learning to model in maya. I will make time for the drizzledome peice this week though. Thanks for the extension dude,good luck with all the stuff you have on your plate...see you all next week:davi:

oh yeah,If you guys haven't checked it out already...check out the podcast, "keith and the girl". So funny,great to listen to while you draw...

cheers all:yayca:

[ronaldK]

hahah yeey!! extention!!
man i worked all night till just now and i have a half way done piece, lol, was about to submit it.
best of luck to everyone.. in seattle.. lol kidding
everyone should aim to wed or thurs so we dont end up the same way.
post advance anyone? ima post mine in my sketchbook to see if i can get som critique =)

[Keng]

Thanks for the extension. I deffinately want to clean mine up some more. Now.. *goes to sleep*

[rustikof]

hahaha man I busted my balls to finish it and then I get on at like 11:55pm (i really stretch it as thin as I can---every second counts right??) and i'm like SUBMI--- wait WHA exstension actually occured!! PRAISE THE GODS!

so, while I was about to submit a piece of golden amazingness, now you sucka'z up north shall instead recieve a blinding platinum brilliant work of gloriousness. Sucks to be you.

[ronaldK]

did you post ur progress?
I'd like to see where everyone's going =)

[Undertow]

Guest judge number one is going to be the honorable Kemp Remillard of Massive Black. Would you guys and gals like 1 judge or 3? I can arrange for another 2 judges to jump in if needs be.

[rustikof]

my confidence in seattle is unquenchable, really..we don't need any judges at ALL. we've already won. you couv's might as well throw in the towel. and your delicious bacon.

[ronaldK]

hahahaha!!

i think a couple of judges can do really good mostly because they can vary on taste and preferences in style and such. On the other hand, if its complicated, i dont see why one wouldnt suffice =)

Cant wait till next week. Where are we posting them?

[Sirio_Brozzi]

So where do we send the finals? Deadline is up and coming, a day away, be ready! :)

[R'john]

Hey Undertow,

Dude,where do we send the final pics to? I'm pretty much done...

peace...

:}

[2100]

same here.

[ronaldK]

im guessing if there's no answer till tnight we should just post'em up here?

[R'john]

If we don't find out where we send our pics in about 4 hours,I'm just gonna post it here,cuz I got portrait class to go to,and I won't be here at 9pm.

later
peace

[Undertow]

I'm going to extend the deadline a couple of hours to accomodate for the daylight savings. You can post the pieces here and I'll set up the thread later tonight. I'm about to start my piece right now.. it's been a wacky week and weekend.

I was unable to get anything finished. All I had time for was a Speed-Paint.

Training at my new job is taking a lot of my time. I am also quitting my old job, so I have very little time to paint. Sniff, I know, lame excuse.

Seeing as I have wireless set up in my place I check the forums when I'm on a smoke break.. your piece is very different from mine however, I put boobs on my frank too HAHA great minds think alike.. or something;)

[Keng]

I swear on.. well, pretty much anything you can honourably swear on, that those pants are brown, not green, on my comp, and that most of this appears to me as one black blob to me because my monitor has difficulty telling apart subtle, (or not so subtle diffrences) in colours and I am therefore pretty much painting in the dark, only to find out when I look at another screen that the light is turned on quite bright. It's bloody freakin annoying and is rather frustrating cause when I tried to get the shading back so it appeared on other computers as it does on mine it just messed it up. (yay for layers that can be turned off and on!)

This is more rant than excuse, and because you can't see what I see, just take it at face value. I'm gonna go do some window shopping for computers on the web now. After I post this:

Sounds like you should get a decent monitor first. If you can afford it get a Mac monitor or the next best thing is Sony or Samsung. I use a 19" Sony trinitron for painting and a Samsung as my secondary.

wassups! so were finally posting!

KK, here's what i managed to do on my Black Lagoon. hope you guys like it and well.. criticism is always very welcomed !!

hehe,well,Dr.Frankenstein was all cooped up in that lonely castle with igor. I guess he had to have some boobs to madness...I'm excited to see your boobed wonder.:yayca:

[ronaldK]

WoooW i totally skipped frankenstein!! Awesome design r'john!
The closeup shot reveals some things though, but the overall design is pretty neat!

[R'john]

thank you very much ronaldK...glad you like...yours is also pretty nice. It's a great take on the monster. I'm always amazed how fishes can create their own light source...

keng-I like it dude. I can understand the monitor problems. At work,I was working on one monitor,and then when I looked at it on my other monitor,it became to light,then I looked at the pic at home,and it was too dark...thats the way it is I guess. Anyway,I really like the extremities getting thinner like a real dog/wolf...

peace

[dtran]

so when is the deadline? i just got back from the airport...my wife's plane was delayed! shitty weather in 'couvah! should be ready in an hour or two.

Awesome posts so far guys!
will leave comments when i post!

[R'john]

you got till 12am I'm guessing dude...can't wait to see what you came up with...:D

[Keng]

Thanks guys :)
And when I say computer shopping, I mean I'm gonna buy a labtop. I'm thinking Mac Book. And I know colour on monitors is bound to vary, but, well.. when white looks purple and light grey appears as pitch black, that's just to much. Not to mention that one time it turned out my dark green was actually bright neon... Now...

@R'jon: That's deffinately the most mutilated version of frankenstein I've ever seen. I like your use of lighting and nice touch with the details of the weapons lodged into it's flesh.

@Sirio: Nice expressive design. I was a little put off by the multiple eyes at first until I noticed the face coming out of the chest, which tells a good story of how the transformation might work.

@rustikof: Great concept with the magazine cover. All the little headlines are very amusing. I like what you did with the snakes, layering them to look like an arranged hair-do.

@2100: Not a monster I'm familiar with, but I like the texturing you've used on it's plate shell. The skull gives a good sense of scale.

@ronaldk: Wow, you've really stretched the design on this. Lots of good things in this peice. It's nice and clean, and I like the subtlety in the webbing.

[Undertow]

Well, I started at 2 this afternoon and finished it about 30 minutes ago. Not my greatest work, but at least I have something to submit. I'll create a separate thread tomorrow morning before I start work for the day. Everyone else has 40 minutes to finish.

daaang boeeee, d-tran that is friggin sweet dud! good good concept. the legs seem an iitty bit off (his left leg). feels like the weight should be more to the middle. if you want it to lean on it then right feels like its holding same weight. just a thought.
also the ankle threw me off a bit.
other than that, awesome coloring skillz and as i said pretty neat design!
-kudos!

[dtran]

So i had this brilliant idea to start over last night since i was so not feeling my other fly piece........i have learned my lesson to not ever do this again when the deadline is so close!

Thanks Ronald for the crits, i totally agree with you. Will fix that up!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

r'john - Wicked style and take on this one. I love the
composition and mood. Hats off to you.

Sirio - Hawt, dude!!! Loving the head alot!! I like your approach to the fur.

Rustikof - I'd buy that!!! :)

2100 - Loving the texture and and feel.

Keng - Alright! we got a werewolf in vancouver who can square off with Sirio's Wolf :) nice job!

Ronaldk - YEAAAh!Awesome design! That is hawtness!!!! Wicked take on this one.

Undertow - Effin love it!!

Mondegreen - Loving the playful 12 headed monster desgin!

[Sirio_Brozzi]

Damn, some real nice submissions here people!
ok, lessee.

Rustikof: Man that was clever, made me laugh dude, and as said the headlines add even more to it :)
2100: Dig the rendering and atmospherics, youve really made it look like a large ass monster crab :)
Keng: Dont be so hard on yourself! I dig the stance you gave the werewolf and the fact you actually left him with some remnants of clothing. :)
Ronald: Hey man turned out great, really dig the lights on this sucker, really makes him seem like a deep sea monster. Original take. :)
Undertow: Frannkenstein with tits? Oh man this is good, dig the patchwork feel on mr. frankie, and the fact it looks like this frankie is one agile and dangerous guy. :)
Dtran: Damn that fly looks like and evil bastard :O Really dig that thick torso, makes him look alot more menacing, quite a different approach to insect based characters, but it works, of course rendering is real sweet too. :)
Monde: Hey man that hydra thing turned out interesting, really like how it looks like it could be out of an animation the way you rendered it. Good stuff mate. :)

So after counting up the entries:
Seems like the following dudes went MIA (The heck did you guys run off to?)

Did Red setup permission for uploading to this thread? (As in Attach Files=>Manage Atachements)

I did it the old fashioned way like everyone else did. I don't think he did, unfortunately he wasn't available to fix any snafus with that regard.
