Monthly Environment Art Challenge Concept Thread: November & December 2018

kadeschui

Welcome to the Concept Thread for the next Monthly Environment / Prop Challenge! 

It's time for our round of voting for November and December. 

To clarify, this thread will be replaced by the official WIP / Challenge thread on Wednesday, November 1st, once the vote count is in and the concepts have been selected. Please wait to post your work there.

Below I've selected a few Environments and Props to get us started. Per community request, each Challenge will offer two environment options and two prop options - 1 hand-painted and 1 realistic / hard surface each. Please feel free to vote for your favorites or add your own selections to this thread. Remember to vote by posting the concept(s), that you would like to see for the next challenge as a reply to the thread.

Even if you aren't participating in the challenge, feel free to vote!

If you aren't satisfied with the concepts provided for this month, feel free to add your own! We are completely open to people posting their own concepts, but keep in mind that the difficulty level has to be that of which can be completed in two months' time for the environment, and one month's time for the prop!

The winning concepts will be chosen on the day of the next monthly challenge.

I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with this month, cheers!

Got an alternative Hard Surface Prop idea! Pretty good variety of vehicles so people could choose which one they want.

And a pretty interesting idea for the Hard Surface Environment. This one has both a view of the full environment as well as a cutaway showing the details and props in the interior. People could do one or the other, or potentially both interior and exterior.

Digging the boathouse!

I like the meat hook and robot arm for the props, though the vehicles look like a fun challenge as well.  Some of the Hand Painted Environments look challenging, yet intriguing.
