Monthly Environment Art Challenge Concept Thread: November & December 2019

kadeschui · Oct 2019

Welcome to the next voting thread for the year - November & December 2019 ~

To clarify, this thread will be replaced by the official WIP / Challenge thread 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!

I've got a handful of alternatives for the hard surface environment category!

The Pool room concept looks good. How would the layout be constructed in a production environment? Usually, a pool room like this would be enterable from the exterior so I'm not sure if there is any modularity involved.

I'm sure it can be done with a modular workflow. I would make modular pieces for the interior walls, floors and ceiling, and then a second modular kit for the exterior entrance. Or just make a unique mesh for that side of the building.

What about this, the armor and weapon not the character, for the hand painted......https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oO9e2z

Really loving the Charge Conductor and Charge Panel for the Hard Surface category - definitely casting my votes for those.

This thread is just for voting on the concepts for the November-December challenge. The new thread with the chosen concepts will go up whenever kadeschui gets around to posting it, and that's when everyone can start modeling.

@kadeschui
Thank you for the enlightening!

kadeschui · Nov 2019

@alytlebird @marioffgallo exactly right! This is where we select the next round of concepts, so feel free to post as many as you like.

I'll be posting the new thread this evening. I post the new challenge thread in the first few days of the first challenge month after a few votes and concepts have been posted

AdrianZaplata · Nov 2019

I love all the concepts that @alytlebird posted, especially the library diorama. Waiting for the post @kadeschui

McGreed · Nov 2019

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this, I missed the last one because I forgot to check up on it, so want to get on it right away when it starts.

kadeschui · Nov 2019
