strange_aeonsAs mentioned below, I entered a challenge on Renderosity, an online art forum/store/gallery with a fairly strong 3D/nipple bias, recently. And, uh, it turns out I won.
It's a challenge, not a contest, so I don't get anything but the respect and slobbering admiration of my peers, and to come up with the next challenge. Which is the problem; I don't have any ideas. So, I resort to picking your collective brain.
Previous challenges include but are not limited to:
Painting with light: Greyscale objects, colored light sources. This is the one I entered.
Lots of identical objects or figures, at least eight, arranged in such a manner as to be worth looking at. That was last month's, the challenge won by the guy who came up with the one I entered, and his entry was exceptional: linky.
Scenes with bridges in.
Uh, scary things.
Recreations of scenes from speculative fiction movies. No, it doesn't sound like a good idea to me either.
And so on; I'd quote more, but the Renderosity server isn't cooperating at the moment, preventing me from getting at the archives.
Hmm. Maybe something involving using primitive shapes (here defined as spheres, cubes, cones, cylinders, pyramids and some of the simpler regular polyhedra) to interesting effect, with as many other objects and dirty lighting, painting, texturing and modeling tricks as please the artist.
There's a commercial for K-19 on as I type this. I have three things to say about it: that guy who almost but doesn't quite resemble Edward Norton is fairly attractive; Harrison Ford looks more like an aging drag queen every time I see him; and using bits of the score of Gladiator is just tacky. It's like using the Clubbed to Death. Get your own damn soundtrack.
