    June 2009 challenge "Favorite NES Scene"

    "Favorite NES Scene"

    This is it folks!  This is your chance to revisit some of the most memorable moments in Nintendo games. Perhaps Mario rescuing the Princess from Bowser or a Belmont family member battling Dracula.  Any 8 bit game moment is acceptable. Have fun!

     All Final Images must be submitted in the finals thread!

    Finished art must be posted before midnight June 30thThere is a 5 min grace period for people to finish posting their images. At that point voting will begin and last until midnight July 7th GMT time.

    Notice: Challenge Rule update!  Anybody wishing to have their entry included in voting MUST include at least 2 WIP stages in the WIP thread.
    In order to make it easier to find these WIPs when setting up voting, entrants MUST also include 2 "clickable" links direct to their own WIP stages in the relevant WIP thread.
    Entrants can post far more than 2 WIP stages if they like in the WIP thread, as long as 2 seperate links are included with the image posted in the Final Entry thread.
    Both links must show different stages of the pictures development (i.e. you can't just post a couple of quick early pencil sketches for WIP and skip to the the finished pic).
    Any entry not including 2 valid links (as described above) will be disqualified and not be included in the voting list.
    It will be the responsibility of the entrant to ensure the links are there and that they link to the correct artwork.

    Even If you have posted artwork in the WIP thread, you will still be disqualified from entry if you do not supply the links to those images.

    A link to show how to do this can be found here:http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/permalink/107660/107660/ShowThread.aspx#107660

    *Note from the Mods* It has been brought to our attention by members of the forums that there may or may not be an issue with vote tampering and cheating within the challenges. Be assured that multiple puppeteers are being watched, as well as their marionettes. Cheating in the challenges is highly frowned upon by everyone and creating multiple false accounts is a breach of the terms and conditions of the ImagineFX site. Any accounts believed to be false will have their votes silently vetoed when tallying is done at the end of the challenge and at the mods discretion. Those thought to be cheating will also be given a private warning and the accounts thought to be false will be forwarded on to the IFX management for further investigation. Cheating will not be tolerated. Please be assured that we have checked previous challenges and re-tallied the scores and the the outcomes of each challenge so far has been fair and that the instances in those challenges thought to be tampering did not change the outcome. These challenges are meant to be fun and fair. Please keep them that way.

     

    Deadline notice for UK entrants.

    Anyone in the UK will have noticed that we recently changed from GMT to BST. In the past challenges have followed whatever the current UK time was. Because this has caused some confusion for people in the past the challenges will remain on GMT regardless of what is in use in the UK.

    So, anybody entering from UK should have until 1am (BST) to get their entries in (unless I've confused myself which is entirely possible - must go and change that last clock too). Everyone else can carry on as normal... move along please, nothing to see here.

    If anyone is in need of inspiration for this challenge--go here:  http://technologybb.com/showthread.php?t=761

    It has a list of the top 100 Nintendo 8-bit games, and if you click on the name of the game, it loads it up and you can play it online. Be careful, you could spend a lot of time playing when you should be drawing! Big Smile

    Great theme! Will surely be a stroll down the memory lane. First impulse is to do Link (something special about that first Zelda game), but we'll see... Party!!!

    EDIT: Couldn't resist giving it a go at once.

    Scene: The very first thing that happens in the first Zelda game - Link gets his sword from the wise man in the cave.

    Here's a thumbnail of a possible composition. Comments?

    Re: June 2009 challenge "Favorite NES Scene"

    For those of us who missed the NES gaming period (I was not allowed a console till the Playstation!) Are we allowed to go a generation earlier or later? I spent a lot of time on my Dad's old Atari 2600 and playing SNES and Sega at friend's houses. I'd love to do something like Vanguard (Still one of my favorite games) or Zombies ate my neighbours or Star Fox.

    Just a thought...

    I should really be finishing this months challenge off...

    Re: June 2009 challenge "Favorite NES Scene"

    There are indeed endless possibilities, I had one image pop into my head almost immediately, I'm thinking I will be doing something mario/bowser related, possibly a more dramatic take on the final battle to rescue the princess, something like this perhaps, but I'm not 100% decided:

     

    Its either this angle or one with Mario closeup from behind, almost out of focus, with Bowser in focus and looking huge at the end of the platform.   Bowser and Mario would possibly be remade as well.

    Re: June 2009 challenge "Favorite NES Scene"

    That's a great idea (chews on a mushroom and picks a fire flower...), mjasnowski! Yes SO excited to see what images this theme will result in. Party!!!

    Nintendo, Star Wars Trilogy and Lone Wolf gamebooks - I blame it all on those three. Sweet eghties...
