Thread Naming: Your Name – Ghost Town
Keep all questions in this thread

Topic: Ghost Town

Idea:

It’s quit now…

The skies are no longer darkened by smoke; the burning horizons have clamed down.
What’s left of the buildings are crumbling. Covered in ivy as the grass grows around them. The animals that made it through the disaster have even moved on to better locations. The only thing calling this place home is the wind and it only visits on weekends. The sign entering town reads:

Ghost Town.

Requirements:

Your job if for this challenge is to depict what a ghost town looks like. The mood is up to you, but any viewer should be able to look at your image and tell what’s going on. Sketches are fine for your works in progress, but the final image needs to be fully rendered.

Deadline:

Sunday 11:59 pm (GMT) January 31st (use the time zone thread to make sure you’re done in time).

Deliverables:

All entrants are required to provide the following in the final entry:
• A work in progress (WIP) sheet
• A final image

WIP Sheet:

A WIP sheet is a compilation of images showcasing your creative process, from the initial sketches to the final image.

Final Image Sizes:

For the judging stage we will accept submissions as .JPG files at 72dpi – screen resolution – at approx. 800-1000 pixels wide. All submitted images must, however, be available in print resolution: 300dpi – print resolution – at approx. 3000-4000 pixels wide, or above.
