Gift to the Gods - Clash of the... Titans? - Japo

[JAPO]

Hello
This month I intend to do "Clash of the Titans" theme with Perseus, Andromeda, and many others. I didnt name it "Perseus and Andromeda" on purpose, as I dont intend to follow the classical version of the myth to the letter. I have an idea in my head, though I wonder if it will not be a total fail....

And since there are no classical rules this month, I intend to go in different way than my usual speed modelling :)

[JAPO]

And here is the concept. I may put the valkyr there. Or other mythological figures from all over the world. This time I am not being serious and accurate. So dont be surprised :D

[Stoneking]

Nice concept man,
Good luck in this comp,
Cheers

[Tarik2d]

Good concept like stoneking said, its a lot to do in roughly a week, good luck :) go go go

[JAPO]

Hehe thank you for encouragement :)
It wont be only a week. I have actually progressed a bit into the picture already. I have actually started the day after I scrapped my original idea (a day after rule 6), but this is a terra incognita for me, so I didnt post anything. First I havent been certain I will be able to make it on time, second I havent been certain I will be able to make it at all. So thats why I am starting the thread now. I am sorry for this, but its my real life... flaw. I dont promise anything I have doubt I will be able to deliver :)

I am not doing typical "Japo" characters for this one, which makes it a tad harder for me, but bigger fun. Also I am sure I am not doing it in "conventional" way, as what I see other people doing seems like totally different approach...

[JAPO]

So here is update on how far I am at the moment. I would prefer to put it here when its finished... but that would merit a DQ :)

There are still Gods to be made, some additional elements... and of course a lot of colouring :)

Nice mood man!

[chunkymunky]

You have a wonderful cartoon style, love the expressions and the colouring so far it beautifully done. I hope to see this finished because it's great so far :)

[hulahuga]

Hahaha!

Great humor!

[JAPO]

Hello :)
here is an update. Except of Hera there are all figures in place, so at the moment I am in colouring phase. Thank you all for the support :D

[MightyReg]

I really like the expression of your characters, I really want to see this finished Wednesday!

[chunkymunky]

Just a lovely style, hope you finish in time :)

[Stoneking]

Awesome, nice to see something like this!
Reminds me the mood of Asterix!
Love it
Cheers

[gauravcg]

great work.....the smile on horse's face is awesome....
Finish this up :)

[hulahuga]

Make sure you get this done in time =). This is really good satire with plenty of funny details.

[JAPO]

This is soooo different to all speed challenges I have done here. Only the deadline is as ruthless as before :D
Anyways, here is final, wip sheets and and in the next post hi res. I think that is usual in painting challenges...

[JAPO]

hi res

[JAPO]

OK.... how do I post the high res please? it has 3MB /puzzled

[JayRow]

Very cool. I like the style, like joe bubblegum or national lampoons movie poster, super sweet!

[MightyReg]

OK.... how do I post the high res please? it has 3MB /puzzled

If you did that on Photoshop, you can reduce the weight of the file by going into File - Save for Web and devices (as a jpeg)

[JayRow]

Remember the final image can be 1280px on either axis... resize your image

[JAPO]

I have 2 types of picture. One is 1200x1200 to fit in rules. I tried to post high res which is 4000x4000. I dont know if the big one is actually required. I read that in speed painting challenge, but this one is different. I guess the big one is not needed for this round then :)

I used save for web for 1200x1200. When I tried that with my 4000x4000, firewall intercepted message sent by my photoshop to nearby mental hospital. :D (I mean I tried before you wrote that, I am familiar with that function of photoshop. But I did the mistake of tring to save that oversized picture nonetheless)

[Dann-O]

Made me smile like this one a lot.

[evilllama]

hahah very funny concept, love it!

[hulahuga]

Haha :).
Killer with the full coloring, you have a lot of talent :D.
