The Lost Jungle - Digital Paint - Tomb Raider

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Digital Painting Challenge no. 05
Subject – Tomb Raider

Thread Naming: Your Name – Tomb Raider
Keep all questions in this thread

Idea:

The King of Kings is said to be buried in an undisclosed location. No one has been able to unearth him. With all the tips and clues to help guide the way, his tomb remains untouched. Tomb Raiders from across the globe seek to find him, knowing that revealing his whereabouts will surely lead them to fame and riches. Locating his final resting place is their key to ever lasting fame. Only the best of the best are up to the task at hand, but only one will be victorious.

Requirements:

Your job if for this challenge is to depict a Tomb Raider type character. In the mist of raiding a tomb, or just hanging out at home, that’s up to you. Sketches are fine for your works in progress, but the final image needs to be fully rendered.

Deadline:

Friday 11:59 pm (GMT) April 30th

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.

All submitted images must, however, be available in print resolution: 300dpi – print resolution – at approx. 3000-4000 pixels wide, or above. In case you win, you may be featured in 2dArtist Magazine.

-No teams or groups – everything must be made by one person.

-Keep gore and nudity to a decent level, no explicit scenes.

your not copying Tomb Raider, your making your own.

Agreed. Its alot better that we are not restricted to the lara croft franchise.

My design conforms to the fact I like to draw beautiful women. I go Spelunking and hiking, so i know a few liberal design alterations to the standard gear. Lara Croft is iconic, but you can do almost anything with a tomb raider concept.

I could have drawn a slightly obese guy raiding tombs in the Atacama desert, but that would have bored me to tears. For someone else, they can make a wicked design out of that.

Thats proof of the talented guys and gals in the forum.

Can image have an emphasis on the scene rather than the character. Like a small-ish person at the edge of the this expansive area. Or should it be more about the raider itself?

[BiG ToE-3DT]

that's up to you.

hi mate ..... i read the rules and eager to participate it .....got little 2 questions

1)should i begin to paint it in 300dpi
2)can i make my resolution in 800 pix height ( not the width )

thanx

[BiG ToE-3DT]

start at the highest resolution your machine can handle, that you would normally work at. You want your final piece to be at it's best quality incase you print it.

800-1000 pixels wide, that's just to give you an idea of what your image should look like. You don't have to use those numbers if you don't want.

[wargrafix]

I use the D.A.M. standard. makes life easier. My machine hates me for it though.
