Ouch. I really wanted to enter in a contest from the start, but this will do just fine - because I can still do it with you guys :D polycount is probably the most inspiring art forum I have had the pleasure of being on. As long as we can get clear dates :poly009::D!! Well we could always have some polycount swag as a prize…
I'm not surprised, even without all the drama, the DW competition is just to unstable for people to stay in. But really glad to see that we don't just drop out but try to get something running. Something I was wondering is if the contest theme might be featuring sides for people to join, like it would be forum vs forum. So…
yay for Ryan and PC team! glad to hear things are moving Only one issue I'm worried about is timing - are you guys want to end up with 2 constets running simultaneously or will you wait till DW5 ends? Both options kinda suck in their own way. 2 parallel contests gonna split up the community and potentially lower the amount…
Let me just state that i don't have any problem with well executed cliche gameart. I love overly muscular monsters and well rounded babe gameartpieces and i will not judge people who make it since i try to do it myself. I'm not the hipster type that wants to say everything the mainstream does is totally not cewl. My…
Jackablade: funny my mainstream brother thinks borderlands looked better before the change and he doesn't care too much for what it looks like now. Guess who we make games for? HIM Also Borderlands has staples... big man, big guns, tits in yo face I don't get your argument. You want games to be like Dali paintings? I'm not…
pretty cool stuff. i hope that the 2d champs can get represented well in this contest as well. how about it's called "Poly-Armory"? like polyamory (from wikipedia) "Polyamory (from Greek πολύ [poly, meaning many or several] and Latin amor [love]) is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate…
I don't think its feasible to try and restrict a competition to someone's particular philosophical viewpoint. The sort of stuff that is getting discussed here sounds like perfectly reasonable things to have as one's personal goals as to how they go about their own art or participating in the a contest, but I don't see how…
i dont see why everyone is so quick to assume that fred has an obligation to set all this up? i mean, yeah it would have been nice to not get toyed around with "false promises" but in the end he was the one who stepped up and brought us all the previous dominance war events. its too bad that all of this nonsense is causing…
Just to play the devils advocate, but... Mr. Zwebbies idea on how we should change gameart to no longer be theese killing simoulators or generic soldier games, and make 3d thats art in their own right, seems to be counter productive to the people here who wants to get into the industry at the moment, since its what the…
