MuGen · 03-09-2005, 05:10 PM

Do not post under this thread. We will post our artwork in this thread starting 12:00AM FRIDAY, MARCH 11th.

Deadline is 11:59PM FRIDAY, MARCH 11th.

Vampyr and Myself have until end of Friday to post, if we're lucky ; we'll post at the same time.

Then, GameMaster's "royal" panel of 5 judges who have not bet on any of this event, will decide the winner.

MuGen · 03-11-2005, 10:57 AM

Submitted for the approval of the GameTavern Society... I call this.... Meteor Rain:

Key Elements:
3D Studio Max Renders
Photoshop Airbrushing
Stock Images of Final Fantasy AC Logo, and Cloud Strife

Briefing: I basically wanted to create that Midgar'ish futuristic feel to the whole grey matter atmosphere with spikes and the Life streams.

As you can see this piece is 100% original, made by me in 3DSM and Photoshop, excluding the FFAC Logo and Cloud Strife picture.

Comments are welcomed, however voting is in the hands of GameMaster's Elite Royal Panel of Judges

GameMaster · 03-11-2005, 12:49 PM

Good work, Kyuzo.

Vampyr has until 11:59 P.M. tonight to submit his piece. Once he has done so, the Royal Panel will gather and each one will cast their vote along with one comment. I will then return to this thread and post each panelist's vote along with their comment. Both contestants will be congratulated for their work and the winner will be given special recognition.

The winner's rank will be temporarlily changed to "Art Battle Champion". vBookie bets will be settled and distributed.

The loser may either declare a rematch or challenge someone else to a battle.

Here is my piece:

"Heroic"

Key Elements:
Render of the Human Torch
Photoshop Brushing and Blending

Briefing:

The only thing I didn't make in the piece is the picture of the torch, and the quote. All of the brushing and blending and editing was done by me in photoshop 7.0. I actually got the idea from myself. After making my sig, I decided I would like to make a full size work of art from it. So I used more of the render, and increased the size, and added a quote, and used more sophisticated brushing and blending.

I wanted to glorify the Human Torche as much as possible, with his liquid fire and jet streams of heat swirling about him, and he erupting from them in a moment of stunning heroism. The piece depicts his power and heroic fury, but at the same time picks up on and uses his pain and high expectations.

Comments are welcome, but like Kyuzo said, it's all in the hands of the royal panel.

Eh, you know what homophobia really says about you, right?

*edit*
And besides, the sexiness of my current sig balances it out.

Null · 03-11-2005, 09:12 PM

lol. well. um. i sure hope purple girl looked better in her original colors, sexy isnt what i was thinkin from that one. i was thinkin more like vampire girl. which is what i thought you wanted cuz of the name and everything.

If you are talking about the color in my sigs, than yeah, some of them tend to have a unifying color. It gives them unity. But I also do several sigs that have varying colors. It just depends. I thought that the vampire girl blended well in the purple.

And no other color would fit in heroic. He and his fire are orange.

Seriously, though, Null, do you think I should redo the vampiress sig? I really like the render and I want to use it, but I want to use it well. Just tell me what you think is wrong, and I'll compromise. Can't promise to change everything, because it's my art.

Oh, and I love the new render you are using in your current sig.

*edit*
And she was a vampire in the original pic as well. But there are some vampires girls I would do.

Null · 03-11-2005, 09:46 PM

i dont mind how it looks in the sig. i dont really like her tho. lol

as far as the total sig tho, the name down there by itself, and a bit hard to read bugs me slightly. but sig is fine really. the girl kinda creeps me out. looks like she's she's starving,

Ok. I knew the font wasn't good, so that doesn't bother me.

I've been trying to think of a way to fix it. I'll think of something. The reason I made it so faint was because I didn't want a lot of focus on my name.

And the girl freaks you out? lol. Oh well. I like her. Can't really change that opinion, so I'll leave it as is until I come up with a font solution.

GameMaster · 03-11-2005, 11:00 PM

So riflemen are your favorite WC unit, Null?

Edit:Hey, I just noticed Null is using a monochromatic theme also. Since Vampyr and Null are using that style, I think I will too.

And back on topic, 4 of the 5 panelists have responded. I'm just waiting for one more before the winner is announced.

Isn't there some sort of Judging Panel Light Beacon you can activate?
