EYECON : GATES of FIRE

[eyecon]

hey guys... haha, this thread is getting better and better each time (comment wise).

To be honest though, activity on that site seems quite active. I tried to harass (lol) people here to talk but... I dunno seems pretty quiet. Don't worry, this site will RISE again! I don't know how, I don't know when.. but being prophetic might just work

Combining challenges might just work... and that would most likely create some much needed traffic... but being advertised on the front page would also be a huge boost. To an extent, the prizes here is much more desirable... Probably also because this challenge is overshadowed by tons of different challenges on this site... and I mean lot!

Oh well, I'm still committed regardless.

fast UPDATE! trying to finish on time... general layout and compositon done... starting to refine the images...

OMG! Eric, come-on man, you've to finish your matte on time, otherwise the great Suirebit is gonna' "kill you, ban you & forever chain your soul to HELL" LOL! Hey Suirebit, I'm really sorry if you are feeling jealous about the CGTantra Digital Matte Painting Challenges being conducted by me at CGTantra.com! Man, you're one of my most respected mentors, other than Frederic St-Arnaud and Maciej Kuciara! I can't even imagine to hurt your feelings (not even in my dreams)! It's simply because, I love the art of Digital Matte Painting very very much, and wished to make this beautiful art form as popular as possible and provide a platform for the aspiring artists to showcase their matte-painting skills through these Challenges!

Yeah Eric, you are correct (both are same; both of them are aimed at providing a learning platform for the contestants to showcase their digital matte-painting skills)!

Btw Suirebit did you see how much Kaustav's challenge has grown. You should ask him for some advice.

What? Advice from me, Mateja! Thanks very much for the complements! But, I guess, I'm a novice when compared with a pro like that of Tiberius Viris (Suirebit)! He knows the VFX industry from inside-out! But, I guess, I'm trying my level best to occupy a small space in the galaxy of the extreeeeeeeemely talented VFX artists!

But let's not get offtopic

Hi Suirebit,

Thank you very much for the complements! Well, I too am just a Moderator! I was given complete control of moderating the CGTantra Digital Matte Painting Challenges forum only! I do not have any control over other forums on CGTantra!

Sure! Why not! We can surely look forward to uniting these two Challenges in the near future, for the benefit of the contestants (which is the ultimate aim)!

Sure, Mateja! Combining these Challenges, would be a great idea!

Kaustav, chill, I was just joking about being jealous, lol The whole remark was an obvious joke, I don't intend on killing Eric either

Hey Suirebit,

Yeah, I knew that, you were joking! But, just wished to put my views in front of you!

Oh yes! I am planning to join in this Challenge! I know, it's quite late now! But, will give it a shot! Just didn't had enough practice on creating matte-paintings since TH4G mattes! This is a great opportunity for me!

[eyecon]
