Character Concept Voting of March 2014

PyrZern

Added:

Voting Period is over.
Chosen Concept Art for March is.

---

• Same deal as the last two times, folks. We the community as a whole will decide on what will we be working on for this March.
• Anyone can participate in the voting process, even if he or she doesn't participate in the Monthly Challenge itself
• You can vote on multiple pieces. Simply post or quote them in your reply.
• You may post interesting concept without actually voting for them. Simply state so when you do.
• If you want to discuss about the pieces, don't quote the images.
• The goal is to get better and to make stuff. So, pick challenging and fun piece (?)
• You will decide character budget on your own term. So don't base concept piece on low budget. Determine budget on the concept instead.
• Voting ends on the 27th Feb. Please refer to the countdown.
• If you already contact the creation of certain concept art, please state so as well (thus we don't all contact the poor guy with the same question)
• The actual challenge itself starts on 1st day of March, in its own thread which I will be creating then.

Sweet! Missed out on last months challenge, but am definitely getting back into it for March. My votes:

Kapoff

I think a female character, fairy realistic and with some hardsurface would be the ideal folowing. I mean that the first was a stylised (almost catoony) female, now we're working on a realistic in his mid 40s medieval male.
We need a female again and we didn't tackle hardsurface yet.

Prism

Dave Jr

Maybe something not humanoid this time? A troll or animal maybe

Prism

actually that is a great idea, makes it way more interesting.

Loutrattitude

This one is very interesting! Hard Surface, clothes, and female anatomy, plus it's doable in one month !

Would it be okay to take those cartoon concepts and make them a realistic/stylized version ?.

stevston89

@ Prism you can interpret the concept however you want. There aren't really any strict rules on them.

Oh I really hope people will vote for this one.

Hmmm, we haven't really talked much about a concept art that contain multiple characters. Is it alright if people work on different character on the same concept piece ?

TheDarkKnight

And from the concepts already posted :

stevston89

@ Pyrzern - I don't see why not. The whole point is a community feedback area. As long it is all the same concept piece. It would be nice for beginners and people who don't have alot of time. They can pick a less time intensive one.

AlexCatMasterSupreme

I have no idea how to do characters, I don't know anatomy but since I got a game art job now I wanna start learning, I might just participate and you all can laugh at my failings.

PyrZern

@AlexCat, only if you add a male genitalia to a female character again. :poly124:

Lots of nice concept there, wow #_# Having a hard time decide :P

Turned out too busy for last months but hopefully Ill have time for March. One that lost last month was cool but this other character design is great too.

Personally I feel like one of the strengths of the challenge is that everyone is working on the same thing. If you are struggling with one single aspect of the character, there's a good chance someone else has had more success. If we allow different characters you may dilute that somewhat.

My Votes:

Velktri

This is my vote. The mix between hard and soft surface as well as all the material types would be good practice.

Abidus

so many cool concepts!

my votes thus far

PyrZern

Shamelessly bumping this from page 3 back to front page :P

demon5026

Kapoff

+1 to the non humanoid thing. Would be great to do some sort of beast or animal. But since all those ladies are already here i think it would be a shame to just let them go without giving at least one of them a try for March. And then April would be the primal beast month. What do you guys think of that?

Prism

What is the interest towards a skype group ?. I know there is one for the environment challenge but doesn't seem to be one for the characters.

Would be it helpfull y/n.

PyrZern

I used to use Skype awhile back ago. Now I'm using Google Hangout mostly because of its screenshare, and ppl and drop in and out at any time. Is one enough ? Or should we use Skype to chat as well then ?

Kapoff

Never did such a thing so I'm kind of neutral towards it.

Prism

The method itself doesn't matter i was just thinking it could be good to have a more instant feedback or way of help. I have no experience with google hangout but i guess that is the same/better as a skype group.

Tried hangouts last night, they are quite awesome indeed. I believe that there is more possibilities in them than a Skype group.
