Corey! I love the picture with Cuthbert dropping the horn!Awesome!
ThanksCorey! I love the picture with Cuthbert dropping the horn!
Thanks man. My current pipeline is a combination of Cheetah 3d for the modeling of the pipe, er Horn of Eld. Then I used Bryce 6.1 + Daz Studio (which is free!) to setup and render the 3D scene. Finally I used Photoshop Elements to add the blood splatter
I really like the other entries, I wish I could actually draw

I just downloaded the DAZ program and an older and free version of Bryce to play around with.
Cool, if you like Daz let me know and I can probably supply you with some additional content for it..
CPU, thats awesome.

"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
I'm falling behind!!!!!
These things pop up faster then I can draw!
I was wondering about that. I'll try and space them out a little more. I'm going to give you all a little break after these two - this cold is kicking my ass.I'm falling behind!!!!!

Any chance this one will get extended? I have it started and progressing but alas time is so dang limited to me. I may very well get a finished image by the 16th but it won't be the best I can do in that time.
Speaking of which what is the policy on showing WIP's?
You can show WIP's if you want, you just need to make sure you're clear that it's not your final so I know which one to use. If you don't post a new one I'll use the last one you posted.
And I will extend the contest 1 week. New ending date is March 23, 2008.

I'm looking forward to seeing your work, aurora. It'll be nice to see a properly modelled horn
Indeed, I am very much looking forward to seeing it too.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Thanks guys I just hope I live up to expectations. Between health issues, work and drowning in class work I have had so little time to work on anything fun like this. But I will post some sort of WIP here before todays over. I've had to really dial the scope of this one back compared to my original draft sketches. Maybe I can come back and visit this one better later along with another piece I have planned dealing with the Guns.
aurora - if your av is any indication, i'm sure even your WIP will be cool-looking!
Just in case I don't get the chance to come back later tonight heres my first WIP for this.
Concept: Due to immense lack of time I have to keep this simple. The concept is simply to model the Horn, place it on a rock symbolizing a marker of Cuthbert, but only in my head, covered in Ivy. I'll throw in a Rose since the Rose is so dang important to the Dark Tower series.
Background, still working on what this should be. I had a complex scene drafted out but alas due to lack of time I will be making this ultimately simple. So I'll either just do a sunset scene with a ivy and grass covered plane or if time permits I'll include the ivy/grass covered ground fading into the scarlet fields of Can'-Ka No Rey and a DF blurred Tower in the far background and the spiraling clouds and beams radiating away from it.
NOTE: This is just a Modeler screen shot of what I have so far. All those messy round looking polys are actually the ivy leaves which will become clearer when I do a real render with the clip mapped leaf images. Trust me it looks good.
Please comments on this are most wanted. I don't really care so much about winning as I do producing something you guys will like. Meaning if you have something cool you think should be in here or I'm screwing something up please shout it out. I say this because this is just simply the way I'm used to seeing art challenges ran. I have refrained from commenting only because I was not sure how open these challenges are to helping each other out and how sensitive people are to crits (good as well as helpful).
WIP - Mar 11 08
That is an amazing start aurora, I'm very impressed.
One of the best assets this site has is this amazing art done by fans. Thanks for taking the time to put something out here.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Looks great aurora. How'd you end up doing the strap? I started to create a chain, but replicating the individual links and then getting them to react to physics was driving me crazyI also just extruded a simple spline, but it was looking way to artificial (and fubar'd) so I gave up.
Don't dare to stop aurora. Keep on working.
Roland would have understood.
Thanks guys and no frets I'm just worried this one won't be worthy especially with some of the others I'm working on and/or have planned.
Thats really good
