Excellent challenge!

Looking forward to seeing some great submissions.

 

[Helios]

Is it permitted to paint them from scratch, or do we have to manipulate existing cloud images?

 

[chrisdesign]

Well, that's a good one Pipsmom. I've never done anything like this, though I have to try it ?!

 

[Pipsmom]

Is it permitted to paint them from scratch, or do we have to manipulate existing cloud images?

To make your cloud warrior Helios, I would think you could express your individual artistry and manipulation talents by painting each cloud layer so you have total control over the end result...... Just a thought
Your final results is totally up to you how you achieve it...Can't wait to see what you come up with

Thanks Pipsmom, this would be a real challenge to me since I've never experimented with this.

My guess is that I'm not gonna get there with Blender...:biglaff:

 

[Pipsmom]

So glad to see everyone is as inspired as I was when I saw the ad playing in full...(Actually had my mouth open in amazement)...never mind the brand of beer they were advertising I was gob smacked at the detail.....

 

[Pipsmom]

Hope everyone is working on your photo, cant wait to see it

 

[chrisdesign]

A very difficult task.
Here is my attempt...hope it qualifies for the challenge.

 

[fredfish]

I agree chrisdesign it is a tough challenge (not that that is a bad thing necessarily!) - I have tried at least 3 or 4 times to get my head around this one and failed every time. I am pretty sure that I will post something. I like your take on the challenge!
Pipsmom - curse you!! :bangdesk: (not really - I am, in a perverse way, enjoying the challenge).

Cheers

Looking forward to what ever you come up with fredfish.....Your last sentence tickled me

 

[Eggy]

Wauw, this isn't the easiest one!
After some experimentation this is was I came up with, Zeus, The Ultimate Warrior

 

[Pipsmom]

Another Wow! That's a angry Zeus! love your color pallet that highlights the ab muscles that show his strength....Well Done.

 

[Helios]

I decided to recreate a classic fantasy painting by John Howe - Morgoth is challenged by Fingolfin in Tolkien's Silmarillion.

 

[Pipsmom]

Another Wow Imagine...Love the use of dark colors to indicate the anger of the fight...Well Done Helios

 

[Pipsmom]

Closing date for entry is fast approaching on the 14th...No pressure aye?

 

[MrToM]

...Closing date for entry is fast approaching on the 14th...

Thats me done for then, I was under the impression we would have the usual 2 weeks.

Why so short a time to enter, especially considering the complexity of the challenge?

Oh well....ho hum.

Regards.
MrToM.

 

[Pipsmom]

A day late starting it on the 2nd, so the 14th would be the usual 2 weeks posting time is my interuptation of the rules...And am I wrong? Please someone tell me
