CONCEPT TAG ! (read first post before posting)

gauss · Apr 2010

How to play:

Take one or several images from the thread and paintover/combine/manipulate them, and post the new artwork as a tag.

Show how you got there: If Bob tags Jason, he writes "Jason > Bob" to show where the images came from.

NO MORE TICKETS for now. Do not post any images that are not tags.

Old thread (you can use any image from here as well):
http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=37295

HEY:

Stop with the joke tags already, they junk up the thread. They're not funny and there's nowhere to go with them.

My admission ticket, back from around the time when I invented steampunk (file dated to Sept 2002)

My last tag of the old thread:

Justin Meisse · Apr 2010

oh snap it's back!

here's my ticket good sir

gauss · Apr 2010

Justin, Justin... somehow I knew I could count on you.

What I didn't count on was that my own response might end up looking like I was really, really into drug-themed album art from the 90s? Wuh?

dejawolf · Apr 2010

here's my entry ticket:

bout 12 years since i drew that now.

Sam Hatami · Apr 2010

might aswell give this a try again. I have no skills at drawing what so ever. But I am a major Gauss fan

DKK->MetalMind

and just for the rules sake, I have no idea when I did this

pattern · Apr 2010

Dusting of some really old ones here, back from my school days. Sorry for the quality, these where scanned quite a few years ago.

Now back to my lurker cave I must go!

Justin Meisse · Apr 2010

Gauss: what a coincidence, I was totally high when I drew that. Not really, say no to drugs kids!

Japhir, DKK: steampunk civil war wizards? hmmmmmmm

StevenEgan · Apr 2010

pattern>StevenEgan

Japhir · Apr 2010

rooster: posting more then 1 entry ticket while not being a lurker

. Awesome coloring work! what brush settings do you use? Just a square with penpressure controlled opacity?

Yes! the thread is alive!

leslievdb · Apr 2010

DejaWolf > Ravenslayer

rooster · Apr 2010

Japh: ah, well gauss posted 2 but then again he is a lurker these days! ;P
nice one Ravenslayer!

edit: oh yeah, I did that in Artrage using the paint roller tool, which has a sort of thin square profile and a bit of smudge to it too

Ninjas · Apr 2010

The title of this image was "Stupid Force"

DKK>MetalMind>Ninjas

leslievdb · Apr 2010

rooster: tnx, was just working on the same one :P
great to see these different approaches so far ^^

pattern>StevenEgan>Ravenslayer

gauss · Apr 2010

Good to see people back into the swing of things, lots of fun tags already.

DDK>MetalMind>Ninjas>gauss

Japhir · Apr 2010

woah gauss that's awesome! what program are you painting in? some areas look like you just printed it out, hand painted it, then scanned it

. i love the colors of the face and shoulderpad.

REKLAS · Apr 2010

Cool idea. I'll contribute some of my old artwork since I definitely qualify as a "super lurker".

Sorry for the poor quality scans

I feel some actual tagging is in order in a concept tag thread.

leslievdb · Apr 2010

Dado: awesome tag dude

i hope i don't get too sucked up in this topic , ah well to late... :poly142:

gauss · Apr 2010

Good to see so many lurkers coming out to play, the more the merrier.

Rooster: so I'm a lurker am I? Say it ain't so, say it ain't so....

Japhir: I'll usually do basic comps/a few manipulations in PS, but I do most of my work in Painter IX these days, which accounts for the brush marks and grain. Then I bring stuff back into PS to size down and unsharp etc.

There's a great classic anime feel to that one, Ninjas.

Here's my entry ticket.

It was one of my DW3 concepts. I don't have access to anything older.

MagicSugar · Apr 2010

chick concept for your tagging pleasure

Grok5620 · Apr 2010

Ok I'm quite the lurker so I'll bite. 4 that are both old and embarrassing:)

Square shoes 'cause there the evilest...

gauss · Apr 2010

Not that I want to encourage him any after that last tag, pfff.

Ninjas>gauss

Ninjas · Apr 2010

I was just trying to up the ante on codpieces-- maybe I went too far

Love the colors on that one Gauss!

leslievdb · Apr 2010

oh man this thread gets more awesome by the minute ^^
REKLAS>Ninjas>Ravenslayer

MagicSugar · Apr 2010

Nice one Ravenslayer.

Here's my branch.

REKLAS>Ninjas>MagicSugar

Hoopla! · Apr 2010

This thread is awesome.

my drawing is less awesome.

Ninjas · Apr 2010

Grok5620>Ninjas

Makkon · Apr 2010

I should have participated in the first thread. I'll keep it going this time.
Question: If I don't like the most recent interpretation of a concept, can I go back to a version I like and branch off of that one?

My ticket: It'd be sweet to see people's interpretation of this

Ninjas>Makkon

And my second ticket

gauss · Apr 2010

Makkon, really happy to see you join up, great stuff all around. The answer is yes, the fun of tagging is that everything in the thread becomes gristle for the mill. Especially since certain chains end up with more or less logical end points, it makes sense to go back to a previous iteration. Feel free, by all means

Makkon · Apr 2010

Ah, good. That really simplifies things a lot. I hope to be very involved in this thread, it just seems to stir creative juices and keeps me from stagnating. Thanks, Gauss!

gauss>Makkon

Ninjas · Apr 2010

Oh nice work Makkon-- Your recent stuff has been amazing. I think I will have to take a stab at your animal critter, even though it will be a huge challenge for me.

this is my last one for tonight:

MagicSugar>Ninjas

Joseph Silverman · Apr 2010

oh shit guys i am all over this, you are all awesome.

art tomorrow, just wanted to post to say \m/, thanks for bringing this back.

REKLAS · Apr 2010

I got a question, are you allowed to tag over an image that started with a ticket you posted?

Makkon>REKLAS

MagicSugar · Apr 2010

Shit. Most excellent upgrade Ninjas!

coincidentally...

Makkon>MagicSugar

MagicSugar · Apr 2010

Adding this to the pot.

gauss · Apr 2010

Reklas: again, any and all images, once posted in the thread, are fair game. Tags in progress, admissions tickets, your own tickets, the sidebar images, anything goes. One of the motivating principles behind the original thread was to get people to loosen up about IPs as well as ownership, to recognize the fluidity of artistic work. It's all fair game

Makkon · Apr 2010

REKLAS: OMG, that's freaking epic! I love it!

MagicSugar: That made me laugh so hard I almost got a cramp!

Gauss: So I totally started up a similar thread in another forum and quoted you, this is just such a brilliant idea. I hope you don't mind.

Laughing_Bun · Apr 2010

Heres my ticket
