Dominance War IV - (Final) 2d Mini Challenge

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Judges are currently hard at work judging all final entries. While we wait, to conclude Dominance War IV, we are keeping this final mini challenge easy, fun and creative. So this year’s conclusive worldwide 2d mini challenge topic is:

War General Pet Portraits!

The rules are simple – Artists are to render a single pet in a picture-framed 2d Illustration. No multiple creatures in one image and don’t include any part of a master/owner in the image. Pets can be a dog, a small dragon, a multi-headed worm, a bear, a pet demon, an undead pixy, a small cute robot, basically anything that is smaller then a bear and can fit into a house. A pet giant robot is not what we are looking for. Pets can be from any time period, any race and any unnatural race (undead, demons, robots etc). Your pet must include your team’s logo somewhere on his body or on his accessories. How you incorporate your team’s logo into your entry, we leave this up to you.

You have 9 days (2 weekends plus 5 days) to finish with the following specs:
- Create a single illustration in full color.
- You can use any software package to achieve your final result.
- You MUST include a picture-frame in your final illustration.


Additional Notes:
- Artists cannot switch teams during challenges. If you were on Polycount’s team in our first mini challenge or main event, you must remain on Polycount's team during this mini challenge.
- As always, entering a mini challenge is optional. It is not required.
- Posting your work in progress in this single thread is ABSOLUTLY MANDATORY.
- You can only submit ONE 1000x1000 (up to 1000x1000. Smaller dimensions are fine) 350k final image and this image must include your team’s logo, your War General Pet’s name, and your personal name and/or contact details.
- Only 1 entry per person. Do not create or try to create multiple entries with different user names.
- Yes, entering both the 3d and 2d sections of this challenge is fine.
- Final submissions are final. If you upload your final image 4 days before the deadline, do not ask us to change it. Make sure you are happy with your image before you submit it into the system.
- Public voting starts June 3rd and ends June 7th. When public voting is over, each team’s best entries are gathered together into a single pool and a grand mini champion will be chosen and announced with all other Dominance War IV event champions in mid June.

Deadline: Monday June 1st 2009 - 11:59pm Eastern Time

Hmmmm....not quite what I was hoping for, but I'm down for it. As long as pet doesn't need to mean a puppy or kitty or something Pretty timely, considering the Project Trico trailer just got leaked - that totally got me thinking of epic pets...

So uh, do we make a new WIP thread, or can we just continue using our Main Comp ones? Some people are posting WIP's here, and the rules say making a thread are mandatory - I'm all confused...like a noob

VinsanityV20: I believe it's in this thread here, or else it will be much more complicated to see everybody's works
