This comp shows why we normally go with character comps 99% of the time.
Congrats on finishing Zet!
But maybe I can prove myself in the character contests - though I am more into making environment graphics. But I won't ask for such a further contest topic like this
Your piece actually is still pretty cool. Some texture work would really make it stand out, but it's still worthy
Can we point back to this thread the next time all the environment artists complain when we have mostly character based competitions? I know things come up, but a single finisher when we finally go with an environment challenge (that the environment artists claimed to be excited about) is kind of abismal.

Right. This is what, like the 2nd or 3rd time we've had an env piece for a comp? And this one time that only one person completed, is the reason the env artists are outcast? I smell bullshit. But whatever.
Big congrats on finishing, zet.
people need breaks from the monotony.
Plus enviroments are important too.

I'm not really sure what you're disputing. This is the first environment challenge we've had in a while, yeah? Several prominent environment artists who've been clamoring for an env challenge expressed interest and excitement for this challenge, yeah? Only one person finished, right? And besides Vahl, none of the character guys jumped in, which is the majority of the board, so it limited the entreants to just a couple, right?
What part are you calling BS? It all looks legit to me. Go with a cool character comp, get tens of entrants and at least 4-5 finishers or more. Go with an environment comp, get 10 entrants total, and 1 finisher. If the goal of this section is to get a lot of the members involved, and push them to get finished work it's obvious why character stuff is what most comps revolve around.
Maybe you could clarify your argument to me, because right now I don't understand.
also, as Ben stated the thing is that polycount is mainly a character artists board, if that contest was on a level design board, or enviro design/architecture board, there would have been much more entrants and finishers, IMO.
in any case, thanks for this contest, even if I didn't finish, I enjoyed it, and will for sure finish my entry when I'll have more free time.
