Any 2d artists wants make chars on The BRAWL Tournament???
polycounter lvl 15
Hi guys.
I'm kind of frustrate because there's no 2d category on the contest.
Problably PC staff took this decision based on the little number of 2d artists on the forum. But I'm opening this thread to see if there are any 2d artists there who feels like me and wants to enter too.
If there are an expressive number, we can get a young female virgin (although they are hard to find nowadays) and offer to PC staff, to see if they can open a 2d category for us.

I thought it was a forum of game art. Concept art is part of the process.
Why don't you use this chance to learn some 3d? You still need to concept it out first!
Pester him enough and the PC administrative might open up something 8D
I think there should be a category for it.
If anything this competition will have a much greater rate of exposure compared to Dominance War. Seeing how it's kind of Fan Art themed it will make it's way to non 3D art sites too
Why don't we just make a WIP thread and have everyone post in it? (with mod approval obviously)
YES! and then Im gonna do it in 3D all over again...
seriously though the 2D guys should probably get some love too.
-make it 100% fullbright diffuse texture
-apply to plane
-render from orthogonal view.
Or you could just start a parralel 'open for all' thread for 2d artists, sort of like this thread.
Funny, that's something too many people don't understand, and it's because they work as 3d monkeys or they have zero skills at drawing.
That's very true, and i add that 3d takes too much time and effort to finish. In some minutes we can have a clear pencil concept.
nm I was thinking of conceptart.org :P

It's an unnoficial 2d challenge for us, 2d guys. So, if you want to post your concepts there, feel free. It's unnoficial, but it will be as fun as the official challenge.
To me, this is like saying that painting is simple and artistic but sculpture is boring and technical. Maybe YOU don't groove on 3D modeling as much as you do sketching or whatever, but not everyone feels that way. I would much rather spend my time modeling a single, highly detailed 3D character than just about anything else, boring technical bits and all.
Gauss did this for one of the Dominance Wars and it was very successful and very popular. A lot of 3d artists neglect their concept skills so a quick paintover from an experienced 2d artist can go a long way in making a stronger end result.
No, I didn't say that sculpture is boring. I love to use Zbrush and do sculpture on it. The problem to me it's the technical part. Worry about edge loops, UV mapping, find best arrangement of UVs on maps, generate normal maps, correct artifacts, all this kind of things. To me this is pretty boring. If we could deliver just the high poly sculpture, it will be great. It's as simple and artistic as painting.
Anyways, it seems nobody here is interested in 2d stuff, so I'll continue my thread on challenge forum and make mine in 3d. I've asked Geezus to delete the thread I created too.
Thanks for the feedback, guys!
Yeah I'm kind of befuddled, as this is a classic job for concept artists at studios.
Publisher: Here developer, we just bought this propery/licensed this movie/resurrected an old IP. Make it fresh!
Developer: Concept artst, draw the main character how it will look in our game!
Concept artist: *scribbles furiously*
How is that not concepting?
Why don't you 2D concept guys just start FIGHT threads and join the comp. You don't have to submit at the end. Just work up awesome concepts. And you'll still get all the feedback and camaraderie as we go along. Then maybe you can start a simple Poll thread in GD to get public votes at the end.
EDIT: oh I see you already have. :P
Yeah, I have and I've seen nobody seems interested. Nobody posted there.
Anyway i will do it.
I want to do a Union soldier version of Guile and maybe a the stage that comes along if i've got the time.
I think it's more a concept artist job than to do whatever you want/like.
As jramauri said, to redesign an existing character is quite a challenge for a concept artist (especially when it's legendary character designs like this contest). Having restraints is what make you surprise yourself and look beyond of your personal universe.
Just my opinion
I was gonna do it. You give up too fast. :P
