I didn't make this for this thread but it fits the topic anyway:

I knew the contest ended already, i was talking about announcing the winners :P

and I wanted to show my WIP somewhere :3 sry

Anyone still interested in this contest?

And does anyone have an idea for a background for my picture?

Am I dreaming?
I just uploaded a 1620*1080, 804k picture oO

I forgot to excuse for any grammatical or other linguistic mistakes.
I hope I managed it somehow to make myself comprehensible.

1. J-qb and jagondudo : Battle of Bugs and Birds - 3points
+ very dynamic
+ great colors (birds look quite realistic)
+ good composition
+ awesome background
- birds look a bit pasted onto the picture

2. AwesomeSaurus and Mabelma : Team Air Extreme - 2points
+ good composition (no empty spaces, still not overfilled)
+ dynamic
+ weird bunny :D
- could use some more shadows in some places

3. Ashman and idiot-monarch : Zeppelin and Plane at Sunset - 1 point
+ great shadowing on the zeppelin
+ nice reflections on the plane
+ nice background, although it is a bit simple but the big sun looks cool
- a bit empty

(4.) : DooDooMeat and Nekow : Elephant Dragon - sadly 0 points
+ really great colors
+ cool elephanthead
Normally I don't like abstract pieces like this but thisone somehow got me. You were very close to the top3 but Ashman and idiot-monarch deserved some points :)

---------------------- no order from here on ----------------------

M-Vero and (jeeshwa did not participate I believe) : Iron-Man
+ great job in the short time and on your own
+ interesting composition with the displaced center...
- ...but needs more focus on the ironman, maybe some blur-effects
- I know you tried something new with the linecolor but it leaded to a lack of contrast on ironman

Re2deemer and (xxCrazydudexx??) : Space City
+ nice light-effect on the rocks
+ pretty planet
- could need a bit more details (on the buildings)
+/- the picture appears a bit empty but I think that's the point of a space picture, at least it really
expresses the silence

Danopus and Cook : Dragon Town
+ nice detailed dragon
+ interesting idea
- a bit empty
- background is a bit boring

GrumpyTom and thies : Falling Guy
+ face expression
- body is a bit deformed
- transparency steals the "sketch-effect"

JustJoshy and The-Worsley-Bear : Flying Pig
+ I like this "painted" background
- looks a bit flat (stronger shadows)
+/- what is the pig so worried about?

CloudEater and LegolaSS : Flying Contraption
+ background makes it really "up in the air"
+ pretty clouds
- "plane" could use some more shadows and smoother lines

Kakashi1930 and Aigis : Sunset Balloon and Plane
+ nice background, i like the clouds
+ funny "tank to plane" idea
+ the baloon and the girl in it really fit the steampunk/venetian theme...
- ...but they look a bit flat
- could need a bit more action :)

All reviews are my subjective opions and I did not want to offend or put some one down.
Instead I wanted to give you some help.

Our/my unfinished entry (I hate [and suck at] drawing people and especially faces) :

I'd love to say we're finished...
but in fact I have no clue.
I'm still hoping fishboy will post something here before deadline :)

It sucks to be working hard while knowing you won't be able to finish anyway...
And if you would finish, you won't have any chance to win because of the other amazing arts.

Have fun deciding a winner :P

my (fail-)entry

I gave my best but I wasn't able to finish in time :(

Maybe I'll finish it tomorrow anyway:

ah crap, thought i've got another day.
Probably won't be able to finish :(

They can be so confusing....
I never know when I should expect a rabbit to come out...

or a dove; imagine that....

anyways; IM IN!

yeah...
hats are made of evil!
believe me, I know what I'm talking about...

I guess I'll give this another try and join.

uhm, stupid tired-me posted in the wrong thread :(
I posted my entry to the [talk]-thread.
this is the link to the pic I tried to enter with, so you can see I didn't make any changes.
I hope I can still join.

ahhhhhhhhh crap,
tired-me posted in the wrong topic :(

ran out of time...

Next!

Two easy ones from me, maybe I'll do some more.
1
2

I tried something with gradients, I hope that's okay.

This is my current Wallpaper, probably going to make a new one soon, season doesn't quite fit.

hmm but he was supposed to look like
this
it's a bit of a fanart :D

but maybe I'm going to redraw him

:The coloring is pretty well done too, very smooth looking, almost like a clay figure, I would love to see more stuff colored and shaded like that!

Thanks, I'm used to a whole different stlye of coloring but I wanted to try something new and I kinda like it. I really liked working on this and I even learned something :)

Congrats to the winners!

I guess this means you didn't like my level 12.
Is there anything I could change/wotk on to get it in the collab?

My votes:

1) Blam and Protect:
+ great concept and great style
+ you can really see them cooperate ans a superhero duo
+ great composition with the heroes in the center surrounded by their enemies
- too little contrast between background and left enemy
- too clean/straight horizon

2) Betty Bouffrant:
+ nice, original concept. could be some 70s comic
+ great shading/highlighting, I love Betty's hair
+ very clean stlye
+/- the background, it's not bad but something doesn't feel right

3) Pop Princedd and The Soloist:
+ funny concept
+ cartoonish look fits the superhero theme
+ color and background contrast between the 2
- the purple gloves don't fit into the contrast

_______________________________no specific order form here____________________________________

Big Robot Guy and Marion Fantoccini:
+ details on robot and background
+ the perspective of the house
- the rest (car, box, robot) are in an other perspective
- robot looks like pasted onto the picture (use same lightsource, shadows)

Manray and The Dirty Bubble:
+ very well drawn
+ neat background
+/- Dirty Bubble could have been transparent
- not original (heard that a lot I think ;) )

Crypto Deadcorpse:
+ funny characters
+ own logo
+/- maybe diffrent colors for the hills to get more contrast and depth
- more shading
- no villain-feeling

Mecha Boobs:
+ funny (reminds me of austin powers)
+ I like the frame/background
+/- maybe 3 fonts are a bit to much
- strange pose, maybe a trigger in on of the hands

Perfect Storm:
+ good composition
+ comicbook style
+ "special effects"
- the pose of the left girl looks a bit strange (sword looks twisted)
- the background looks a bit strange, the red and the blue/green don't fit

I hope this help and noone feels odfended!
And thanks for the points Blue, didn't expect to get any after seeing the other pics.

Hey,
sorry I didn't do much till now, I was involved with the Doubles 9.
I made some sketches.

1) the tank:
rough sketch for a barrier or just some background
I drew this to try out the perspective, still I think it's a bit to flat but sketches are not meant to be perfect

2) the bomb:
another sketch for the background
I think this one is okay in perspective

3) the rat:
this is a sketch of a weak enemy
they could come in groups of 5 and run around wildly in a small area so they are still in one group (if possible)

Hope to show some new sketches soon

hmm..

No response :(

But I don't want to blame him, it was kinda my fault.
I didn't have the time I needed for this collab..

So our/my duo had a little accident.

"I think you're ash, man!"

I know the second villain isn't that great... but I had no time to do the background and a second character...

Thanks for late join (if this counts...)

Ahhhhh,
we couldn't finish.
Actually there were some communication problems in our team and I hadn't enough time. I finished my part a few minutes ago but I couldn't reach ashman, I have no idea if he's done, maybe he even never started working because he waited for my part :(

It would be really nice if I could have another morning (european time) to try reaching ashman or finish it on my own. If you start voting tomorrow afternoon it would be finished till then.
Otherwise you would miss: fire! explosions, destruction and great conversations like:
"Excuse me Sir! Aren't you supposed to FIGHT the fire?"

I'm very sorry about how this ended (the start wasn't that great either)
