I'd just like to say good luck to all of you talented people. There is indeed a lot of talent here at GWG.

Alright, I'm almost finished.

I *think* all I need to do is add shadows/shading. But there is still time to implement some of your comments and criticisms, so let me have them

.

Airaquila · Dec 31, 2009, 01:54 AM // 01:54

Getting along, but I doubt that I'll finish this in time ><;

@ Tzu: I'm speechless! I so want to see the other pictures too!
I really like the first picture because you can see the shine in the armor perfectly, and you're not too blue. I like the angle too.
About the not smiling part, I imagine you're not smiling because it's all snow and cold everywhere like Grenth likes it. ^_^ (also, it must be difficult to smile convincingly when you're sleep deprived and you have to model in -20C weather O_o )

Absolutely wonderful job! I am so happy you made it ^_^

Dzjudz · Dec 31, 2009, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Hmm...

I just found out I utterly fail at shadows and shading...

Any tips?

Tommy's · Dec 31, 2009, 04:03 AM // 04:03

Ok my internet failed on me 2 days before the deadline. Well guess I should get my own internet then instead of using others

Anyway 5.am now and I'm finaly done. Tzu could you give me your email so I could send the realsize file. I will upload an compressed version.

Name: Tommy's (Tom van Rheenen)
Idea for entry: Nolani happy family
genre of art: Digital chibi

People interested (only people on it sorry) can PM me so I could find a way to send them the original size file

This is my entry

. It is of Dwayna looking over a mini jingle bear and a normal jingle bear, while she shelters two polar bear cubs. This is a watercolour painting I did with a little photoshop editing.

Penguin oO · Dec 31, 2009, 05:41 AM // 05:41

I love looking at everyones art but not being an artist myself I have no comments to make.

I am a mum tho - I can't look at Tzu's piccies without worrying that she is going to catch another cold.

Ah, ty both, I'll try that then

Oh, I thought she photoshopped the outside...

that must have been cold, I doubt that costume can hold any warmth

It probably required less blue paint though, as she would naturally turn blue from the cold in few minutes :P

Same here, lol, I love to read discussions but i actually partecipate very rarely. It's fun to lurk

Tzu · Dec 31, 2009, 11:17 AM // 11:17

the shadows in the forest were very cool blue, even though the bodypaint was more like the colour in the photos with the sun, the entire costume became very blue as long as I was out of the light. I quite like the effect, but I suppose I could manipulate the skin to look less saturated.

I'm not smiling because it would create wrinkles in the facepaint. :P
And yeah, obviously standing outside in that cold was... well, cold. But I had someone time me so I didn't stand outside for more than 2-5 minutes at the time. Then I went inside and warmed up. I doubt I'll catch a cold from that, I'm kind of used to being cold having grown up in this country. It's uncomfortable, but never did me any harm unless I keep cold for long periods of time and/or get wet.

Garreth MacLeod · Dec 31, 2009, 01:09 PM // 13:09

Go Airaquila, Go. You can make it. You still have some time left.

Tommy, those Chibi are cute. I was wondering how you were going to tie them all together and now I see.

Valentine, that's watercolor?? Wow, I remember watercolors from when I was little and mine never looked that good. Very impressive.

Dzjudz · Dec 31, 2009, 02:48 PM // 14:48

I just sent in my final entry. I'm glad I tried to add shading, I think it looks better than before I added it.

Hope you like it.

Evangelin · Dec 31, 2009, 04:47 PM // 16:47

so little time left and i still didnt finish lol...im starting to doubt ill finish in time...

Yasmine · Dec 31, 2009, 04:57 PM // 16:57

@Dzjudz: +1 for Grenth, yeah

@Evangelin: you can do it! we believe in you

I sent mine meanwhile - will be on a new year party later XD

tmakinen · Dec 31, 2009, 04:58 PM // 16:58

@Evangelin: such a charming statue, it would be a pity if you couldn't finish it in time. Maybe you can prioritize and add just the essential parts (hands I would assume) and then submit it as it is when the time runs out?

@Tzu: came to think of it, the Avatar of Dwayna (dervish form) has glowing blue empty eyes. Have you considered photoshopping yours in the image, it would create a stunning visual effect? That way you wouldn't have to care about eye contact and there would be more photos to choose from. The near-horizon sunlight is very red and the shades blue which creates a dilemma: the armor looks much better in direct sunlight and the rest in shadow.

Garreth MacLeod · Dec 31, 2009, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Dzjudz, I always knew those rabbits were "baaad bunnehs".

Evangelin, don't give up. There's still some time left. You can do it!

Yasmine, The text looks better now. Job well done.

Airaquila · Dec 31, 2009, 05:25 PM // 17:25

: D Yes! Hopefully it's done in time.
