this was a really fun contest to be a part of. thanks everyone.

I think you needed to bring the girl more into focus as the minator seems you be your central point, how ever its a great action shot which is somthing I always have trouble with, im not very 3D myself though you did a good job on that.

THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES! LIGHTSABER! Bet you all wish you had a lightsaber now. Yeah...

Anyway. About 20 hours to go. Gonna do my finishing touches tomorrow, but I'll take any last minute advice. I probably can't change it, but I'll at least moan and say things like "well, sh*t now he tells me"

I gave myself a couple of additional rules 'cause I's a crazy mafukis. One of them was that my design would be print sized (at least 300dpi) at 8x10. And another is to work in CMYK. Which was a bitch. I'm brilliant and choose green as the color for my babe, and CMYK cuts out all those beautiful rich greens you can get from RGB. Which goes ditto for the reds on the 'lift beam'. But I'm happy I might get a portfolio piece out of it. eh.

Just to give you an idea of size. This is scaled to 25%

all the covers are kicking ass guys, keep up the great work. I'm trying to get mine finished, not sure if i'm going to make it.

haha Maaaaaaan
Meeerrrr
the look on her face is priceless :-D<a

haha, it does look a bit flat doesn't it.

So the last few hours of the competition... how does judging go?

HALP!

I need some last minute critiques guys.. as well as which of two versions turned out better...
Any comments are much appreciated!

Here's Option 2 if the stupid thing actually lets me post again >:(

Option 2:

I was browsing through the finished covers and i would hate to have to judge this thing. there are a lot of awesome pieces. It is kinda odd though, you can go through and make several different categories that the covers could fit into.

Had a question there are several users with multiple submissions, will they be able to win more than once? Can't wait to see who the winner is.

My favorites:

thirteen spades - mist woman << i like this one the best.

the rest are in no discernable order

Jagondudo - airborne goddess
Deadspead83 - birdwoman
Nobbin - Robin - zombies
transforwhores - rose fairie
JohanL - pink lady
Kassar - digital
LiftYourSkinnyFists - rocket launchers and titties
DooDooMeat - blood guts and boobs
stickamovie - tan woman

Good luck to everyone who submitted so far.. i'm sure there will be some stragglers.

I prefer the first one, alough I think the deadline is already over isnt it ?

I like the Green gas mask girl myself, my wife likes that one too, I seem to never get any comments on my pics though!

They're due tonight by midnight EST... :)

First one for sure.

I feel a little unoriginal ... i've looked through the past WIPs and noticed there are about 4 of using using angel-like characters...

ill comment on your image....Color is good, detail is good, but she looks a little off...proportionately...maybe a little wide looking...

Ooohh I thought it was AM or PM..or somthing, Damn I still had more time!

At 3/10/08 07:32 PM, someONEgood wrote: HALP!

The first one. If you got some time add some color to the sword and (methinks the word be halberd ?) or pike thingy. Seeing the black and white version made me notice the lack of color in the first one. Good luck. The WIP board gets you precious little feedback it seems.

How dare you say she is wide looking, I used Sylvia Saint herself as reference!!!! *Crys* SYYLLLVVVIIIAAAAAAAAAAA

It's going to be a really tight deadline for me...I don't think I can finish all the touchups / refinements I was hoping for. >_<

Did you... stretch... Sylvia? Hmmm? What did we talk about? Never stretch the porn stars.

But, seriously, I agree she does look a bit squat. Did you resize you reference when you worked? If so did you hold down the allmighty shift key to scale proportionately?

Ok now I'm gonna go look at pictures of Sylvia Saint.

*fap fap fap*

Then what are you doing here dammit!? Get to work. If you got to let some details go, work from nearest us to farthest away. If the far away stuff is a little rough you can call it atmospheric perspective.

Still one of my favorites.

Nah I always click the shift key, I think its just that I added the shoulder pads and the arms that make her look wider, Its meant to be like a torn up slutty Tank Men uniform with camel toe

Well, I've got most of the basic detail down and some second level detail, but I want to go further and that would take many more hours.

Working like mad on PS as we speak :p

Here's your piece resized. I took the liberty of upping the brightness and contrast a little. As it was a bit dark and muddy.

o sweet!!! thank you sooo much!!

is that ok?

Cool. No problem. Ignore the comment directly before this one.

So its posted now. Again, thx a ton.
