Noobs and Character Artists can have their challenge, so do we! However we've decide on keeping it simple and friendly, and instead of making it a challenge, we're making it an Art Jam. A place where Handpainter can exchange technique, critique and tricks.
We welcome any cartoon concept artist that would like to join us too !
Each month we'll provide a thematic , it could be large or it could be stricter. There will be 3 categories: Props, character and environment. You're welcome to enter them all if you want ! You can also enter in the same category more than once.
We also encourage tiling texture in the "props category"
- There's no restriction on the software or technique you use. You're a free to use brush and bake map. Our goal here is to get better and share workflow. We won't accept any war between oldschool and newschool and what is handpaint.
- The use of photo is strictly forbidden.
- The use of heavily photobash brush is also forbidden. Remember the goal here is to PAINT.
- The final output should only use diffuse, alpha and glow map. No Normal, spec or bump is allowed on the model itself. However using those map as a base for your painting is allowed.
- This is an Art jam so don't use existing stuff, there's no point in it. Re-using asset is tolerate to a certain point, use your good sense.
- Everything have to be your work, no stealing. Collab are allowed as long as your teammates are part of polycount !
- You have to post WIP of your work, the main goal of this, is to learn, so no final product only.
- We encourage you to post your texture map as well as the model
- If you participate, you have to post at least a critique on someone else work.
Let's get back to school.. but wait..! which kind of school are you going to ? Maybe a wizard school or a dragon taming school, Maybe you go that Japanese school or to a military school. No matter if you teach is an Oldbag or a mighty knight, don't forget to bring him an apple !
Could be a teacher, a student, and angry parents or even you going to that school !
Well, the anything on the school propriety ! Dorm, gym, class, janitor closet.
Your backback, your school material, your uniform, your homework, etc !

Personally, I'm going to try to finish my august jam this week end and start this one next week !
Nothing wrong with photo reference.
Anyway. I've got this idea for a simple, little fantasy scene. Came up with this character for it. Still very rough. Critiques and feedback are more than welcome.
'ho boy. So I totally didn't finish last month! But here's an idea I drew up for this month's artjam! Inspired by the Pandaren classrooms in World of Warcraft. I might just start with 1 prop. And then if I finish, I'll create the rest of the diorama!
@Natendo: Very cool sculpt! Love the design in that character.
@evolvyn It's fine i didn't either ;_; one day i'll finish all of them >< shame on me. Really cute setting can't wait to see more ^-^
I think i'm going to go real clich
