Well here's my work so far, about 70% complete I'd say, still plenty to do at this stage.  Started the image as an IFX cover for fun before I heard about the competition so I thought I'd give it a proper go.  Glad to see there's a more official thread for the comp so I can see what everyone else has been up to. And instead of updating my own thread like I've been doing I can put it here.

woot! an official WIP thread for these at last :D

It's not really much of a WIP anymore as it is very nearly finished but here's a possible entry from me. I'm really working on it for something else but it seems to fit just fine for the moment. Still ages to go until the deadline though so I may start work on something else later :)

- my reality, my way :P

It has a painterly, almost south american 'social realist' feel, but it looks like it needs more sense of texture in areas like her legs ans hoes. Good luck!

It has a very high action feel. And it goes without saying that I thinkthe wet look is in. Good luck!

Wow, impressive WIPs so far. I'm already working on mine, but way bigger than the template. Need to resize in the end.

I'm not happy without my pencil.

I've been working on a large project for a month or so now before a friend pointed me to the comp(mostly because they're tired of me whining about wanting a Cintiq XD). Once I read through everything, one of my star characters(who I've mainly been working on) started pestering me...so I believe my entry shall be using him.

I give you what I've finished of so far on his head; Baron Samedi, Vodou Loa of the dead. :)

 

 

 

I'm patching up holes in his mesh today and hopefully will be getting his textures started. Then once he's colored up and on his body, I'll start on his hair.

...I think I'll give him dreads. :D
