Hmm I think I need to explain a few things :X My original intentions.
When I first thought about doing this, I tried thinking how I could get more people to join. I ended up coming up with something simple enough...have me do the first part of the work. When your working off of a figure already, it's much easier than starting from scratch. If I can have it where people lower the amount of work they need to do but still get a decent piece when their done, I figured that might do it. (mmm you prooved me wrong) It would also keep all the entries similar; they would all seem to be part of a set, but different enough to be unique from piece to piece.
As it stands, it would have been better termed as a "challenge." If you look, I was planning on giving a prize to the winner. Theres another reason I wanted to do half of the work...because that was the whole point behind the contest. "Given the basic body, who did the best job of dressing it up?" It keeps everyone on the same task, instead of starting from scratch. Working from scratch...well...what makes it fit into the whole set? I could have just made a thread saying "K make some characters people! GO!"
Another thing I think was missed... Donald and Draenin, I'm hearing from both of you the same thing. None of the three poses really inspired you towards anything. My original plan wasn't to just throw out a few random poses, but to hear from each person that wanted to enter and find out how they wanted their character to be positioned. I started working on Donalds, but like I said...he's stubborn. I began working on the legs and he took over from there... actually he didn't even use my legs- he redid them.
Well...it didn't go so well :/ I'll just leave it as a challenge instead of a contest. In which case...Draenin, go ahead and do whatever you want. I'd love to see what you turn out.
And Koni - nice job! The leg & boot shading is kind of bugging me though , and the rest of the coloring is pretty simple (which is fine). You did exactly what I was hoping for. Good work with the outfit. |
