USA Thunderdome (West vs East)

[SeattleThunderdome]

Time for a rumble in the states.
http://www.mlentz.com/usamap.jpg
Alaska and Hawaii included in the WC.


The first rule, DEADLINES WILL BE FINAL. No exceptions.

The first step is to gather a list of artists from the West Coast wanting to participate. Reply to this thread to be added to the list. Beginning on the 18th, the East Coast artists will begin challenging (its not too late for WC artists to get in, but the sooner the better, you know?). Challenges will be acceptable until the 21st. At midnight on the 21st PST, the competition begins, challenges end, and you will have 3 weeks to complete your challenge, ending on the 12th at midnight PST. If you don't have a match on the 21st, you are not able to participate, I am sorry. There will be an extra week on this one due to the holidays, and deadlines being FINAL. If your entry arrives at 12:01 on the 13th, I hate to be a bastard, but no dice. You've been warned.

Here's how it works. We'll post the names of the West Coast artists looking to be challenged by an artist from the East Coast. You East dudes and ladies look through and pick an opponent of similar skill. You call them out, and set the perameters of your challenge.



The battles will be judged by 5 judges (not in the US), so far including:
-Joachim
-Molly
-lowpolymatt
-Matt Dixon
-Rusty


Each battle is worth 1 point, with the total number of battles being the total number of points available. Team that scores the most points wins.

PLEASE READ THIS IS IMPORTANT. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND 4 HOURS RESIZING AND RENAMING EVERYONES WORK.
Please send finished works to [email protected] with the subject "(CA name) USATD Entry". Please name the file with your name (ex: USATD_jetpack42.jpg) so I can arrange the proper contestants against each other easily. Please have them reduced to 72dpi, and around screen size. If they are greater then 120k, I will not post them. Also, when sending your finished image, include the subject description.

[eliWolff]

count me in!

[Sok N. Wett]

Yo I'm in, this is like the whole tupac and biggie thing, without the whole gang issue or contraversy, nm it's not even like that, but it's HUGE!!! I don't see Hawaii or Alaska, but I guess they are in as well. Ok who in Canada wants to challenge me....oh wait your not part of US, could have fooled me....sucks to be you...:P

[SeattleThunderdome]

hey cotron, wait your turn! ;)

west coast is the best coast.

42

[Bojee]

The timing Kind of sucks but I'd feel bad if I was left out of this one. I'm in. :)

[flex mathews]

edit: oops, my simple mind didnt understand the rules.

sorry bout that, i m just letting you know i m down for the battle.

[fukifino]

I'm gonna be gone for the last week of this context (3rd-12th), but I'll be damned if I'm gonna let another one of these go by without me giving it a shot. So count me in (and don't hurt me too bad, East Coast).

Oh yeah, and I suppose a link to my art (http://www.forestzachman.com/gallery/art) would help prospective challengers.

[Aly Fell]

Woo hoo! I'll sit and watch from across the pond. Good luck peeps! We should do a Western Europe challenge against Eastern Europe... could be fun... :^^:

[SeattleThunderdome]

Woo hoo! I'll sit and watch from across the pond. Good luck peeps! We should do a Western Europe challenge against Eastern Europe... could be fun... :^^:

dude, do it. next up is USA vs The World...post-workshop.

[redehlert]

Sweet. Don't know if I'll have the time to do it, but will make a decision in the next few days. Medical legal work is keeping me busy right now.

BTW - next Thunderdome: Presidential Election 2004: The Electoral College States Showdown - RED versus BLUE recall smackdown - winner takes the House.

That'd be cool.
Cheers,
Dave

[Sapphire]

Timing sucks a bit for me too, but count me in! Yay Seattle!

[Groover McNab]

can't...stay...away...

*sigh*

ok, I'm in.

[SeattleThunderdome]

I don't think the timing is ideal for anyone, myself included (im leaving for Seattle for the first week of the competition) but if I don't get her rolling now, it wont happen until almost February.

No time like the present! :confident

[Nimrod]

Weeeeessstttt Coooaaaaassstttt !!!

Raraaaggghararaagghhhbalalalala!!!1

ALASKA REPRESENT!!

:cheerleader: :vodkamachine:

[Matt Smith]

This is going to be so fun, I have been waiting for something like this for awhile. But what happens if we dont have an even amount of players on each side?

[metaphysiks]

can i be in it on the east side?

[Dished]

Count me in fo sho! West coaster here.

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29290

[SeattleThunderdome]

yeah dude, its for anyone. once the 19th rolls around, head on over here and call somebody out. East coast gets to pick thier poison!

[Sok N. Wett]

Flex Mathews Vs. Lono 'nuff said.

[Muttonhead]

OK I'll throw my hat into the ring, sounds fun... Though i don't know who to challenge..... Lemme think about it....

[fukifino]

It's a good thing this site is predicated on artistic merit, and not reading comprehension. ;)

[Groover McNab]

It's a good thing this site is predicated on artistic merit, and not reading comprehension. ;)

Hahaha. Well in fairness to these folks, the guys over at ReadingComprehension.com can't draw worth shit.
>:D

[Lauren Short]

count me in :P


i'm thinkin something like weird, drugged out alien or something, anyone from the east coast want to give that one a shot? :teeth:

[fukifino]

Hehe, hope no one takes that too seriously. But c'mon, the directions are right there at the top. ;P

[Lono]

i aint yeller..


-Lono

[Muttonhead]

It's a good thing this site is predicated on artistic merit, and not reading comprehension. ;)


OK OK Haha. You know, reading takes a great deal of time, so adding comprehension on top of it makes it seriously impractical... who has time for all that? I got crap to draw!

I get it: The East Coasters wait till all the Left-Coasters have chimed in, then we swoop in and challenge. Sounds groovy.

I'll be quiet now.

[Phuzion]

Ah fuckit... Count me in Captain!! Can't let you boys have ALL the fun!! :wink:

-Daniel

[Helium Macaroni]

*stumbles in drunk..*

What the.... cross dressing and narcotics? *hic* I'm in... bastards!

*thump*

[poopinmymouth]

I challenge The_Bird.

Anamorphic 3D Head: Head needs to be both recognizably personified, and animalesque.

500 triangles, 256x256 texture map.

Bird and I are old friends seperated by the east/west boundary, and we are both 3D game artists. Figure I will mix it up a bit with some 3D foolz!

[ThE_BirD]

holy crap poop...bring it. Count me in for some 3D concepting!!
I'll be fighting the good fight for the west coast :yayca:

[imager777]

Sok N. Wett appear to be abouts my level (I think.) I challenge...

Subject: Create a mystical magical creature

Come and get your East coast smack down, PA style.

Let me know if you accept.

[Sok N. Wett]

Yes finally! Woo Hooo I got called out......oh yeah I accept your offer. I like the idea too, I've already invision the concept for my creature.

Reppin' WEST COAST 2 Da Fullest!!!

[strych9ine]

[Rusty]

[imager777]

Oops, sorry for jumping the gun. I just read the rules again. The smack down will still be laid, all the same.

[BlackKitty]

Even though I'm in the middle of the country, I'm still East Coast!

:swepimp:

[SeattleThunderdome]

[prostate sunrise]

[hito]

Put me down for East.

Groover! "Lets get it on!"

We will battle each other to greater heights!

[jetpack42]

I hope somebody challenges grinn and beats his ass.

but I hope the west coast wins the rest of the matches.

oh, and "your mom".

[SeattleThunderdome]

OK East Coast, get your challenge on!

West Coast is staffed!

[Madman!]

I'm not sure if I'm still able to join in. I don't really have any art up on the net but could I challange like a pro person, cause I would really like to push myself if I do this even if I get creamed.

oh and I'm from seattle... :^^;: (thats the rain smile right? :bashful: )

[strych9ine]

PROSTATE!

I got mad respect for you homes, it'd be a pleasure to go head to head with you. If you already had something lined up I'm totally cool with that, just let me know.

[bRyaN]

NYC Reprezent...

+1 East
Daniel, Rich, Any of you...Bring it!!!!

[Matt Smith]

Ok I challenge blackhawk to Mortal Kombat... I mean Thunderdome. Topic, I am still thinking of. Thats not the topic, I am still thinking of one...

[flex mathews]

damnit Sok N. Wett. i dont know why i m doing this but i challenge Lono to a battle. you re a few skill levels higher than me and i know i'm going to get worked in this. but i'm up for the challenge. i dont know a topic yet, but we can decide on something we both like.

[Joeslucher]

I guess I'm down for the east. I'll challenge somebody tommorrow. It's gonna be a crazy 3 weeks.
You interested in going against me Nimrod. I couldn't find much of your stuff so maybe you're way too good for me. I'd like it if you were just a little bit better than me. What do you think?

[Skank]

c'mon! BRING it :bashful:

i need something to do before WoW launches lol

[Sok N. Wett]

Flex and Lono I love both of your pencil skills, that's the main reason I want to see you guys go against each other, it's going to be one hell of a matchup and I can't wait for the finish product :) Shoot even after it's over I would love to see a collabo work, that would be awesome. I'm kinda surprised, I thought we would have more westerners interested in this match.

[Zram]

Sorry I'm late; I skipped TD8, but enjoy these so, I'm in for the West cost... since Texas is on the west coast and all that... stuff. :nohope: my geography teachers would be most dissapointed... I always did so well.


Marcelo

[Groover McNab]

Looks like hito wants some. :needle: And I've accepted, so add hito vs. yours truly in the matchup list.

[MindCandyMan]

Hey guys I am up for a challenge if anyone wants to have some fun ;) I guess south dakota is considered as part of the west coast...the weather sure doesn't feel like it hehe

[Upstart]

Hey everyone. Wouldn't mind throwing down to help the East Coast, not too many Indy people surfing these boards. I don't have much in the way of art posted on CA at the moment, but I have been around for a while and I think I met some of you in Austin. Anybody looking for a Thunderin' partner, let me know.

[jetpack42]

dude, east coast is the challengee, they pick their poison. Take a look at the peoples works who are listed as waiting for challenges, and pick somebody comparable to yourself....use the forum searching.

[bRyaN]

yo Skank i think i owe you a challenge..../slap

[vigostar]

yo, Fukifino wanna thUmP it ouT?

[Nimrod]

Hey Joe:

Here: http://ninja.designrockstar.com/pics/
And Here: http://ninja.designrockstar.com/pics/sketches/

See what you think... I'm game if you are. East coast is calling out West Coast so it's up to you. IF YOU DARE MUAHAHAHAHAHAH

... :D

[Joeslucher]

Yeah you're better than me but I don't give a shxt. It's on. That pic with the three guys with F on their shirts is great.

Edit: Oh yeah I get to pick the batteground, you got any suggestions, not that I'll necessarily agree to it.

[fukifino]

yo, Fukifino wanna thUmP it ouT?

Sho, I'm down. Got a topic in mind? Any media restrictions or does anything go?

[Skank]

yo Skank i think i owe you a challenge..../slap

werd bro
since you are the challenger...throw me a topic =)

oh, and to make it official...I ACCEPT!!

:yayca:

[Upstart]

Hey Jetpack, guess I shoulda read the directions closer, my bad. But, for so publicly calling out my cursory reading of the directions, I think I must defend my honor and ability to read by throwing a challenge your way. Checked your site and we seem to be about at the same level. Let me know, I have a few topics in mind if you accept.

Have a good one.

Here are some recent sketches and stuff I've done,

[Sok N. Wett]

Seriously where's all the Eastern artist at, there's gotta be more, we still have about 20 more people they need to challenge.

[Joeslucher]

I thought of a topic Nimrod. Design a three person team for a video game. Can be real media or digital.

[N D Hill]

One more representin' East-side. Any takers? I'm about as East as you can get.

[|NTeRN]

comon i know at least one artist out there wants a nice west side beat down from yours truly. ;)

[Sok N. Wett]

|ntern's going to throw it down

Thanks Sok and wet for the list

[KevinP]

I got some holiday time to burn and this sounds like fun. Count me in for the West.

Come on east-siders, represent.

[Phuzion]

Jack Frost: You're on homez! You choose the battle ground in which you'd like to be buried, and I'll make sure to bring a shovel! :wink:

-Daniel

[aan]

new on the board....i'll challege you intern if you want and if you do, you can pick the subject

[BlackKitty]

I challenge Nova, if you're up for it... love yer style!

I was thinking anthropomorphic cyborg in a realistic style based on a sketch from life. You pick the animal, whether color or b+w, and scene/setting. Props should include a musical instrument and some sort of liquid, and...? :)

[blankslatejoe]

Helium Macaroni Where are you!

I checked out your verrry slick sketchbook, and if yer looking fer some action....YOU'RE ON!

Man... I think I'm getting in over my head.... but this topic will be fun....

The Brief: Pick a character/badguy/ or environment element(all... uh... 1 of them) from the following screenshot of Space Invaders;

http://www.30lives.com/wips/space-invaders.gif

Redesign it with today's technology in mind... that means it's got be designed to be built in 3d, not in sprites, and has to have some detailwork.

Medium/Limits: 1 finished drawing of the design is all that's needed, Ink and Grayscale marker/pen work style kung fu, if you're down for it. (manoman am I askin' fer it.)

Whadya say, Macaroni?

[Helium Macaroni]

blankslatejoe, Aw dude.. that is hi-larious. I'm totally down..

By today's technology, do you mean strictly contemporary? or... futuristic too!

This will be (using my library of relevant 80's slang) Rad!

You're on my friend!

[blankslatejoe]

awesome, helium, way to be speedy in the reply too!

Whoops, By 'today's tech' I only meant that the design shouldn't be geared towards making an 80s style 4bit game, or a flat-side-view-only-style remake.

This would be all about taking those 4 or 5 pixels and imagineering them into something crazy and fully envisioned, but still reminiscint of the original.

So heck yeah, futuristic is probably how I'll go too!

We're on, man!
It will be rad indeed!

[lowpolymatt]

Lots of work to do... OHHHH but it looks like it would be so much fun to kick some ass. what to do..what to do..

:bashful:

You've wanted to be in on one of these thunderdomes for ages...how can you now not get involved! :)

[cotron]

I wanna challenge for da EAST yo...

I put my chllenge in a bit too early before. sorry bout that, didnt read the instructions the whole way through :perv:

[Spark]

Just wanted to say that I am still open to being challenged, as this would be my first Thunderdome, so I hope that someone from the Eastside challenges me. I'm up for a concept challenge, to 3D..whatever the flavor, so anyone thats interested..look me up.

[vigostar]

any media you like Fukifino.... topic.. Dunno.... Im not very good at vehicle designs so pretty much anything other that!!!! What about something like a creature design but, the MOTHER creature, like the mother alien in Alien... The big MAMA-JAMA.... Just a thought to throw something out there...

[steak-tron]

Kevin P! Sir I accept your challenge, I choose pistols at dawn.

The work on your site looks fantastic, it would be an honor to challenge your mechanized hot girl x2 kung fu.

Let me think on a topic for a bit, If you have any suggestions let me know - I'm thinking of something with machinery since we both lean that way.

A note on the challenge setup: So the west coast challenges first eh? I feel justified in defending my territory. The east is sluggish in accepting challenges because, well, we know we're better. No need to prove it (haha not really). Also, your momma.

Bring it on west coast sissies --insert rebel yell--

[Bojee]

I wanna challenge for da EAST yo...

I put my chllenge in a bit too early before. sorry bout that, didnt read the instructions the whole way through :perv:

Cody- you're on, topic being discussed as we speak. ;)

[fukifino]

any media you like Fukifino.... topic.. Dunno.... Im not very good at vehicle designs so pretty much anything other that!!!! What about something like a creature design but, the MOTHER creature, like the mother alien in Alien... The big MAMA-JAMA.... Just a thought to throw something out there...


Sounds good! I don't have a lot of experience at creature design so it'll be a good challenge! I notice most of yer stuff is b/w...do you do color also? I, personally, don't, but I'd like to push myself with this, so I'm willing to try a color piece if that's cool.

To narrow the topic a bit, how about we depict a scene with some sort of mother alien defending her young? Obviously the main focus will be on the mother alien and her design, but we'll have a scene that shows a little of her reproductive cycle since we'll see some of her brood there and since she's in a defensive/aggressive posture it should give us an interesting picture.

Whaddya say?

As for mediums, I'm pretty open...I'll probably try some traditional and digital stuff and see which one works better. I really want to try to push myself with this one.

[redehlert]

Aww....what the hell....I'm in if someone wants to face off against a West Coaster.
On a Great Space (west) Coaster....woo-oo-oo...on a Great Space (West) Coaster...off we go....
Damn. I need sleep.
Well...if I don't hear from an East Coast challenger by the 21st, it'll be no news is good news to Gary Gnu.
Damn...there it is again. I'm showing my age.
As for what I'd be cool doing -- something low key, don't have a lot of time to put into this, but I wanna draw something.

Peace and chicken grease.

Hahaha, Great Space Coaster rocked!

It's official, Bojee and I are facing off in a duel to the artistic death!!!

hey, fukifino.... The topic you came up with sounds good to me.... Im doing colors this time around..

Last thunderdome, I feel like I did pretty good but couldve def. done better in some parts.... and my colors couldve helped it alot also... In any event, I better start working on my concepts for this.... Im a really slow artist....

[fukifino]

I'm really slow too. Sounds like a plan!

[KevinP]

Right on, steak-tron. Let's have at.

Well I guess I called down the thunder and now I got, eh? looks like my first Tdome will be a baptism by fire. ...sweet
I checked your site and really dig your stuff as well, this'll be great. Mech stuff suits me fine. Or whatever you're up for, I'm game.

[Dished]

Topic decided between Cody and I, "Illustration for the short story "The Lady, or the Tiger" By Frank Stockton here's the link if anyone's interested
The Story (http://mbhs.bergtraum.k12.ny.us/cybereng/shorts/tiger.html)
Goodness...school ,made me hate that story!!!Killed us with worksheets and all these quizzes.
:nohope:

But im looking forward to your illustrations! :teeth:

[MindCandyMan]

C'mon you pansies...is anyone on the east coast man or woman enough to challenge me!!!!!!!!!!

[imager777]

Anyone wanna challenge a Washingtonian ovah here?

If no one challenges you by the deadline; I'd be happy to double dip, and lay the smackdown on you too. That is, if it's not against the rules.

[blankslatejoe]

come on, east coasters, someone's got to pick on mindcandy, he's askin' fer it!

mcm, me and helium are tango-ing this time, but next time there's a tdome/challenge you're mine!

[steak-tron]

word up KevinP, the game is on as it were...

I'd like to get a little more specific than just a mech (maybe some type of mech?) It's always cool to see 2 takes on the same thing. Let me marinate on it for a day or so, If you think of anything too let me know.

You don't have to worry about a baptism by fire from me, more like a baptism by onion skins, and not very many. :tihi:

[steak-tron]

methinks people should just challenge eachother regardless of coast, even people who haven't called out on this thread. There's something like 1billion + people on these boards. I'm sure some folks just haven't seen it yet.

[|NTeRN]

so no on wants the best from the west? aww comon someone has to challenge MCM :bashful:


also im looking for a challenge too

[Bojee]

Go get'um Jon!!!! >:D >:D >:D

[Jack Frost]

Alright, the weapons (media) any

and I had a tough time figuring what would be good but, I started to think that I need more finished pieces in my portfolio so I say We are talking redesign or design

So the challenge would be to create cover art for either a game that you are excited about that hasn't come out yet or a game that came out that you liked by the presentation, i.e. the cover art was crap

no need for text just the image portraying the idea and feel of the game

hit me back with any ideas on top of that

[Jack Frost]

Phuz....also I think by the first day of comp I think we should have our game picked out

[Sapphire]

imager777 Sure! If nobody else challenges me, and it's not against the rules, we could have a 3-way competition; I was in one at one of the previous T-Domes, and the way it worked was, there were two people from one team (Seattle) and one from the other (England), and if one of the Seattle people won, 1 point would be given to their team, and if the Englander won, they would get 2 points, having gone up against 2 opponents.

[Sok N. Wett]

Sapphire this is like Deja Vu all over again, because imager777 has challenged me now you...lol, fun times, I sure hope you win again Sarah.

[blankslatejoe]

you know, it might not be a bad idea to have a couple three ways... that way at everyone who WANTS to participate can.

Maybe after a little while of east coast challengers, then the left over west coasters get their pick of duels to jump in on? Kinda a reward for slipping through the cracks, they'll get to know the themes and competitors?

Just an idea..... It'd sure be a shame to have some westcoasters eager and willing, but left out of the fun.

[Jack Frost]

I think that is a good idea Joe...also maybe the people on the west whom haven't found competition yet could perhaps bring an east coaster outside the ring in to challenge?

[jetpack42]

still 2 full days left, no worries. If you West Coasters want to drag somebody into the ring, by all means...

[Phuzion]

I'm certainly not a gamer, I'm a movie guy, but perhaps I can adapt... so I'll be choosing an older game, and I already know which one, but I'm not gonna say what it is until the due date, sorry :bashful: There's something to be said for surprises. However, mine will have to be black and white, as I will be out of town for the next week and a half and will have very limited supplies, but you can use whatever medium you want, I can still bring some monochromatic-ass-kicking your way homez :wink:

So let's get our muh'fuggin' draw on!! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!

-Daniel

Oh wait... we have till the 13th, fuck that, FULL COLOR!! I was getting this mixed up with the other La Quinta thaaaaang, heh heh. Okay, let's bring dis sheeeite!

[Jack Frost]

Alright, Alright....its on...I two wont reveal my game untill sunday night..

[aan]

Intern I challege you....you can pick the topic

you probably missed my last post

[aan]

edited

[|NTeRN]

i accept aan. you have a page where i can see your stuff? you can pick the topic too

[aan]

yea just check my profile....those pictures are an year or more old though except for some of the sketches....

[Sapphire]

Sok, you're kidding! That's wild. It was fun teaming up with you last time... guess we're worth only half again. :) The last match was fun, and I think one of you guys should get to pick the topic this time. I may have only won because I picked? :shrug:

Can't wait!

[metaphysiks]

MindCandyMan, your match has come. I wish to challenge you! You pick the battleground and ill show up ready to go berserk. I await your acceptance.
meta

[Sok N. Wett]

Sarah he picked the subject of "Mystical Magical Creature" and knowing your so good with creatures, this is a good chance to lay a big butt whooping, and get to that 3-0 score, mwhahahhahahah.....excellent!

[N D Hill]

Exo, you still looking for a throw-down? I am itching for a scrap.

Let's go, man, name your challenge!

And if not Exo, I'll take on any of you other Yankee mother-lovers. :skull:

/jzero

it's on. If you're asking me for a topic, I've been itching to do something from literature if that's all right. How about a famous literary character of your choice. Open Medium. Environments or scenes are optional but encouraged.

Is there a set deadline for this whole thing or can we come up with our own short term deadline? I was thinking that a week would be good.

is this cool?

[SeattleThunderdome]

Sarah, theres still 2 days left to get a challenger. by all means, anyone who wants to participate can get in on a 3 way match or whatever, why not wait it out first? Or go hunt down some East Coasters? We'll fit everyone in who wants to be in...no worries.

42

[BlackKitty]

Or go hunt down some East Coasters?

42

Yeah, I haven't had my challenge answered...

..is it something I said...? ;)


I'm up for an open challenge from anyone..

[amphex]

East coaster here.....but i dont know any of you west coasters..
I'm gonna look around at the work of all the un-challenged West Coasters, and I guess I'll officially challenge someone later.

But until then, if any west coaster wants to pick up a challenge, just let me know :)

[MindCandyMan]

It's on Meta! Let's do it...lemme think about what we will do for our topic and I will pm you. Thanks for the challenge homie!

blankslate - next time it's on!

[donkeyslayer]

who wants a chunk bitten out of their ass by me?

[jelanen]

Well, if you need someone else from the east coast, I am at your service. Challenge away if anyone is interested.

[jzero]

Literary character? No problem. Hmm, now I have to pick one, don't I? I'm going to assume that here, 'literature' means any well-known and respected written work. Like school stuff, right? :perv:

The schedule listed in Post 1 works fine for me:

At midnight on the 21st PST, the competition begins, challenges end, and you will have 3 weeks to complete your challenge, ending on the 12th at midnight PST

Bring it!

[kaiser]

Well I am new to this whole thing but. I am an East Coaster ready for a fight. I just don't really know who is left for the West. IF someone is up for a battle to the finish let me know.

[amphex]

DISHED : Up for a challenge?!
If you are, I'll leave the topic up to you.
I was hoping we could go for a pencil or black and white challenge though, as painter hasn't been working on my computer lately...


(P.S. - I don't have anything online right now, but I'm pretty sure we're on similar skill levels based on your sketchbook)

HOLLA BACK.

[strych9ine]

who wants a chunk bitten out of their ass by me?

That's hot, dude. Bite that west coast ass bro...

[redehlert]

who wants a chunk bitten out of their ass by me?
Hey donkeyslayer - I'm game if you are still unchallenged. I checked out your stuff - saw a predominance of BW work which I'm keen on doing for a change of pace. If you're up for it, let me know. PM me with ideas of what you'd be cool drawing up if you accept my challenge.
Peace.
d

[Matt Smith]

Ok Blackhawk I'll just call our topic "war torn city or landscape". But since we are trying to do our weaknesses, using characters is ok if you want to, but try not to make them a major part of the piece. LETS GET IT ON!!!!!!!

[Joeslucher]

I just thought of an idea for the three way matches. Since two west coasters and one east coaster in a battle would raise the west coasts chance for getting that point, maybe they should be placed 1st 2nd and 3rd by the judges. So if the two west coast got 1st and 2nd then west coast gets two points but if the east coast person gets 1st then they get two points. If the east coast person comes in second then both east and west get one point. Just an idea.

By the way Nimrod, you better have your shxt together because I got the finished designs in the computer and am coloring them already.

[Sinix]

Is there a lack of east coasters? Oh well... it's not midnight yet, lol... if any east coaster wants to challenge me... do it fast. :^^;:

[donkeyslayer]

me and red.

[SeattleThunderdome]

I know some of the Seattle peeps are at the sketchcrawl thing for a while tonight. they'll be back.

[Spark]

Well looks like I had no one throw me a challenge from the East Coast, and I was so looking forward to my first Thunderdome. Mike Corriero, if you still haven't challenged anyone, and you are able to do this one..look up my work and see if you think we would make a good match. Like your style, and I'm up for anything from concept to 3d. Or hell, anyone as I would like to fight for the West on this one. :teeth:

[nova]

I challenge Nova if you're up for it... love yer style!

I was thinking anthropomorphic cyborg in a realistic style based on a sketch from life. You pick the animal, whether color or b+w, and scene/setting. Props should include a musical instrument and some sort of liquid, and...? :)

challenge accepted. thanks to jetpack for the heads up, sorry for the last minute, i'm dumb.

[Sok N. Wett]

Let's get everyone to participate, people should just start challenging whoever, do a threeway if you have to, I just want everyone to have a chance to participate in something wonderful, and beautiful (tears in eyes)....so get out there and throw punches like a peg legged pirate with crutches.

[Dished]

Booyah!! challenge accepted =D. Its only 9,thank God. Ya hear? its only 9! :yayca:
How about a morphed skull? Like, a normal human skull only morphed into something very akwardly wierd.NOt limited to bones. The only limitation is, it has to be based off of a skull and does represent skull qualities. Very General topic, i know,but that only broadens the mind on imagination. Limit to medium is graphite(my tablet has had some troubles as well.), So agree? no? like it?

Thanks again for the challenge man!!


DISHED : Up for a challenge?!

(P.S. - I don't have anything online right now, but I'm pretty sure we're on similar skill levels based on your sketchbook)

HOLLA BACK.

[Helium Macaroni]

I'm totally in agreement with the notion of three-ways.. (ee hee hee, dirty)

[SeattleThunderdome]

Let's get everyone to participate, people should just start challenging whoever, do a threeway if you have to, I just want everyone to have a chance to participate in something wonderful, and beautiful (tears in eyes)....so get out there and throw punches like a peg legged pirate with crutches.


I agree, but from an organizational standpoint, it works better for me to get all of one side together, then open things up. Imagine if it were 4 pages of "I'm from the west, who wants some" Then I'd have to sort all that out (with a little help ;) ), and constantly be updating and going through the random threads. In the last 2 thunderdomes I've ran, invariably, a couple people can't make a deadline or whatever, and I get asked about extensions and late entries and whatnot....To be fair, a deadline is a deadline, and I don't want to have to decide those kinds of things anyways. The deadlines was the first thing I wrote in the thread, so its fair for everyone. Not trying to be an ass, just make things run smoother and easier for me...At this point, jump in 3 ways if you want, challenge whoever you want. and it would help to shoot them a PM. We should be able to squeeze everyone in. Just take a look around the site, and find somebody on the opposite coast, and let 'em have it.

Lets say, tonight at midnight is the deadline to get IN on the contest, if you've got a challenge pending, no worries, but you've got to be waiting on a response from the challengee by midnight.

There is absolutely no wiggle room on the December 12th deadline for the finish however. There is alot of entries, so if you do not follow the instructions for submitting your pieces, they may not make it in. It's not difficult.

[Joeslucher]

Anybody who wants to get in on me and Nimrod's battle is welcome.
The subject is; design a three person team for a video game.

[Insane_Panda]

Im up for a challange..Anyone want to face a kid from california?

BRING ON THE VODKA!
:vodkamachine:

[BlackKitty]

challenge accepted. thanks to jetpack for the heads up, sorry for the last minute, i'm dumb.

s'okay, I was just wondering if I should send you a note.. :) I think you got too many messages in your inbox, I tried to reply and got a message saying you're too popular or something. ;)

Anyway, we're on! ^_^

[Sapphire]

Mystical magical creature, eh? *rubs hands together and cackles in a sinister fashion*

Muhuhahahahahaaaa! You're mine, imager! :needle:

[Sinix]

Thanks for the challenge amphex, but it looks like dished came thru with your challenge.

Wah, times up, so I guess I'll be sitting this one out.

[Jack Frost]

Well I didn't read your thread close enough fuse, butt I will give away what I am doing now .... I am going to design a cover for the up coming game "Return to Castle Wolfenstien".........I haven't seen any art for the game so I am entering in to this with a clean slate...


Good luck to you

[Phuzion]

That's cool man... I'm just not too into games anymore, but there are some pre 64bit-graphics games I still loooooove, so mine will be a redesign... but I still won't say what it is :wink: And don't call me a butt... heh heh.

Good luck to you too. I hope I don't whoop your eastcoast BEEhiiiind too badly :ninja++: Zen style and shit.

-Daniel

C'mon!! Shit talking, it's in the TDome spirit!! :blahblah:

[cotron]

I am going to design a cover for the up coming game "Return to Castle Wolfenstien"

Uhmmm that game's been out for about 2-3 years now... :bashful:

[blankslatejoe]

yeah evren.. i think gray matter developed it, came out in 2001... started strong, but got pretty silly as it went on. Had some pretty rad texture work though. I think I have it somewhere if you're wanting to play through it.

maybe they're just gearing up for a port to xbox or consoles though?


edit- nope, came out for ps2 and xbox in 2003.

[Molly]

This is gonna be one hell of a bout!

Go U.S.A! :cheerleader:

Mollyx

[jzero]

So where from here? Do we start posting in the main Challenge Arena, pair by pair?

[blankslatejoe]

I vote for just submitting the finished images here... that way we're all already subscribed and can see how everyone elses battles go.. I dunno about WIPS though..

[Bojee]

jzero- If you look on the first page it gives a e-mail address that you send your entries to before the deadline so that they will all be posted together. :)

[Madman!]

Hey guys I still wanted to be challanged, but if it's too late it's cool. I had a foot injury and have been laid up in bed all weekend haven't been able to get to the computer..anyways if someone wants to throw down I'm still game.

[N D Hill]

This what we deliver on the 13'th? Can the images be larger if we host them on our own servers?


PLEASE READ THIS IS IMPORTANT. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND 4 HOURS RESIZING AND RENAMING EVERYONES WORK.
Please send finished works to [email protected] with the subject "(CA name) USATD Entry". Please name the file with your name (ex: USATD_jetpack42.jpg) so I can arrange the proper contestants against each other easily. Please have them reduced to 72dpi, and around screen size. If they are greater then 120k, I will not post them. Also, when sending your finished image, include the subject description.

[KevinP]

steak-tron, Any ideas yet? ... let's get a-hackin'
Like I said, I'm up for whatever you got in mind. Sorry for the push, but I'm anxious to get crackin' before my workload piles up again.

[Muttonhead]

Aww crap. I totally spaced. Uhh, any West-Coasters still looking for a challenger? BSparky, how bout you, still need a fight?

GAWD! I miss another deadline, work was killer all week, Sarah it's all up to you, I won't be able to do anything today, I got alot of things to catch up to. Good luck West Coast, but you don't need it :)

[N D Hill]

Same here. I've got something cooking but this is finals week for me and even without this challenge, I'm still incredibly bogged down. You can be happy that this isn't the only think I'm turning in late this week.

[jetpack42]

The first rule, DEADLINES WILL BE FINAL. No exceptions.



Do your best to get it in on time. Late entries will be displayed, but they will not be judged. At the time of this posting, my clock reads 11:05, sychronize watches.

Hey jetpack, our files cant be bigger than 120k? I think my image is going to be tiny then. I got mine down to 244k, if you are on please respond asp, I will try to make it smaller still.

[Matt Smith]

Wait nevermind, I just figured out a better way for me to shrink it, it wont be a problem now.

[Matt Smith]

Ok Jetpack, my image is sent, it would be there sometime soon.

[jetpack42]

don't forget to put your topic in the body of the email as well so I can list it.


Does anybody read the submission directions on the first page?

[Sapphire]

Sorry, I sent my entry twice... I'd forgotten to include the subject and information. :bashful:

[jetpack42]

got it sarah

For everyone who isn't turning in a piece on time. I dug this quote up from the Seattle vs California Thunderdome.


you guys are a bunch of pussies! is it really that hard to draw something? are you really THAT busy? c'mon guys! suck it up and draw some shit! missing deadlines is not pro. and thats as important as skills in the industry this site advocates. life is nothing but deadlines, get used to it, and in the real world, if you miss a deadline, you might not eat. i think if we are to take an educational stance, we need to be strict about this, as it is an important lesson, just as important as the quality of the image itself. mine is no gem. but i took the one day i have had off in weeks, and sat down and drew it. is that really too much to ask of all of you? especially you guys in school! shit what i wouldnt give to have a student's schedule right now.....-c36

No excuses or complaints allowed.

Late pieces will be displayed, but they will not be judged.

I was writing a paper all weekend... then I started painting earlier tonight, everything was going fine til I smeared the whole fucking thing an hour before the deadline.. tried to fix it in photoshop... so you'll see how great my entry is :)

Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

[jetpack42]

steak intern kevinP blackhawk and cotron, just in time.

any entries from here on out will be added, but will not be judged. Thanks to everyone who made the deadline and participated. Thunderdomes don't happen without participants.

[steak-tron]

or dudes to organize em'. Thanks Mike!

[cotron]

yeah really, thanks for a cool contest man!

[Blackhawk]

Thanks Big Mike Dawg. Post the blurry version of my entry that I sent you so atleast I can blame the bad drawing on something other than my lack of skills.

[metaphysiks]

i purposefully did not post my image, i saw that MCM was not on your received list and i opted to not post mine. it is such an honor to being drawing against him that i do not want to receive automatic points. i want the battle to be fair. hey Jon, we can settle this in our own battle if necessary.

hey meta I couldn't send it by email or upload it cause my server was down last night...sorry about that man I did finish in time though...but really it doesn't matter I would like to see yours too though! Private message it to me if you want. Mine sucks hahah...it was hard hehe.

[redehlert]

hey all - had a bit of an emergency the latter half of the week and weekend, so no work to show. donkeyslayer -- my apologies for not having anything to match up against your work with. i'll still put something together when things calm down a wee bit over here.

Haha dont worry about it phuzion, i thought the same exact thing. I had the entire piece finished, I just figured I would scan and send today...so i guess my mess-up (east coaster) evens out yours.

[Joeslucher]

Nimrod- WHat happened buddy? I was having to do two illustrations a week for school and got a surprise eviction by my landlord and my fiance force me into spending two whole days apartment shopping and then had to spend 3 whole days moving my crap into a new apartment, and I squeezed in 5 hours to make something for this. Turn in something and we'll have it in another thread and have it judged or something. I don't want to have just posted a 5 hour piece of crap for nothing.

Duuuhhh... whoops. :O :dead: >:|

No real excuse, other than the usual stuff (blah blah blah school, blah blah blah personal strife, laziness, forgetfulness, cranky webserver blah blaaah). I do have something, 3 b/w sketches... Do you want to make another thread? or maybe I can just post mine in the EastvsWest thread and we'll just say you won. Or whatever, is cool with me. Really like yours btw :D

[Joeslucher]

Thanks man. Yeah sure go ahead and post or link to the sketches. I'd love to see em.

Yeah, Nimrod's got no time for his local Sketch Group buds, either. SNAP! Long time no see, bro! Hope to see you Next Year...

Congrats to all who finished on time! That's all right, sok, hope things are going well with you. Can't wait to see the results! Imager, it was a pleasure competing. What do you mean by "yonic"? :)
