Ungod Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) For this Christmas, I bring you a little quest in the 'decorate a scene' style. You can work digitally or analog, as long as you respect the indications. The indications are hinted in the title - I want something that reflects the absence of snow. Spoiler I remember that my childhood's winters were snowy. Some years meant you could hardly go through the snow blanket. Everything was dazzling white, so white it hurt your eyes. Not anymore. This winter, I had one day of snow (1). I'm not complaining - hey, it's warmer. Besides, the snow is not gone yet - it'll be here. In...March. I'm not complaining, but it is strange to me, so I chose this theme. You are to take a scene that has lots of open space and no buildings, such as Tranquil Plains (a very simple building or a very small one is ok). Color it lightly with nuances of blue of your choosing (you can add other colors as well, as long as it fits the 'blue' theme). Also, add an unfinished snowman somewhere in the scene or anything else that expresses this idea of 'absence of snow'. You can submit 3 entries at most, but only one may be rewarded. You can participate with your main OR any of your alts. Deadline is two weeks from now and rewards are: 1 creature of mine (I'll give the winner the choice between a santa, an shmsh, a nutcracker and other medium-rare ones) plus 3 credits for first place, 1 gold plus 3 credits for second, 3 credits for third. Good luck! Edited December 24, 2019 by Ungod Lintara, Sushi, Aia del Mana and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aia del Mana Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Here I do present that which I did render, aided by an artist who were not human. I entitle it "Rime's Repent" - one may recognise of the scene elsewise; the sunrise doth bring of frostbreak upon the well-trodden path. lashtal and Dhyone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungod Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm extending the deadline by one more week, we've had lots of excitement. I cannot congratulate Aia in a one-man race but if it be so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted January 18, 2020 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I will put in a submission today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted January 18, 2020 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 If the contest gets more than 3 participants I will sponser the most recent MD birthday creature if Ungod agrees. If there are even more, maybe I will sponsor more (again if Ungod agrees) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ungod Posted January 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's also the most savage. I like what you did there, but I don't recognize the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted January 20, 2020 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I apologise for not sending my entry in yet, its half done. When is the deadline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungod Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 It should be tomorrow, but I don't want to force you to finish it by then. On 1/18/2020 at 12:36 PM, Chewett said: If the contest gets more than 3 participants I will sponsor the most recent MD birthday creature if Ungod agrees. Even if you participate, the condition wouldn't be met anyway (and I'm not sure I can accept Dhyone's submission unless the scene is being confirmed - it looks like Ravenhold, but who knows?), because 3 is not more than 3. So taking these things into account, I'll do this: I'm further extending the deadline to the 25th of January. That's a month for people who are interesting in doing a little artistic effort.

Ungod Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Wait, that's 1 month from when the quest started (Dec 24th)! So it means there are only 4 days left ???? Chewett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted January 22, 2020 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have begun! Should be finished tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted January 23, 2020 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I havent had as much time on it as I wanted but I spent a load of time setting up my Wacom again, happy days. Its pretty terrible but I enjoyed making it so I am very happy with the result I coloured the flowers in red as I liked the idea that poppies were flowering and there was a late snow. If I had more time I would embellish the snow on the ground with more flourishes and probably colour in the road a different colour.

Ungod Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 My avi looks really sad in this...funny, I never would've imagined it being like that. Awesome.

Ungod Posted January 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I suppose this wasn't clear enough, my bad: On 12/24/2019 at 11:17 PM, Ungod said: You are to take a scene that has lots of open space and no buildings, such as Tranquil Plains Ok, I am hereby declaring the quest finished; thank you, participants ! wait for the results in a week or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungod Posted February 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I have to thank my judges for taking the burden to assess the submissions. The results give AIA the first position, with Chewett and Dhyone following! I only wish there were more participants. Let's have more quests in the future!
