Teen Challenge 117: Defying Gravity


Topic
This week's topic is Defying Gravity. There is lots to do here, think surreal floating mountains, buildings that physically don't work, flying people, astronauts, whatever!

Focus--NOW MANDATORY
Focus is a new addition to the Teen Challenges to... well, challenge you a bit more!

This week's focus is a dynamic composition. Make this a crazy picture! Have a really interesting composition, maybe putting the horizon line at an odd angle, but whatever it is don't have a static image!


Deadline
The deadline is Sunday April 24th, 23:59 GMT


You've got a week from now, so what are you waiting for?!

[KristinaI]

Great Topic, I have spring break now so I will probably try and enter this one.

[Platinguard]

See what I can do, no promises.

[JesseM]

Ohhhhhhh, damn... I was just gonna take a look at this and then maybe come back for some challenges later, but with a theme like that...

I also like the "focus" addition. Nice touch. <3

Gah, guess I'll be entering!

EDIT: hmm.. Are short comics allowed as entries?

[Choob]

Nice theme as always Andrew.

Don't believe so. Comics are kept more for the Panel Of The Week (POW) competition.

[exdakly]

Sweeeeet topic man, Im definitely in

Well to be honest I am not really opposed to a comic entry, although I don't remember ever seeing one for the competition before. I see Teen Challenge as a combination of all the other challenges, restricted to teens, and slightly more illustration based than concept art based. I'm not sure how Aksel (Nyctalgia) sees this though, so won't say yes definitely before talking it over with him.

[Andrew Sonea]

Just to let everyone know, we WILL be accepting comic entries.

[colsky]

I'm gonna try to at least finish this one lol.

[Miki Tikus]

I read the topic and my mind just snapped to 'Wicked' the musical, haha. This sounds like an epic topic guys!

[Samszym]

Well here's mine. It seems like I'll have almost no time to work on it, so I'm calling it done.


Edit: I forgot to save wips, here are some thumbnails.

[Sapphirelullaby]

Ahh -- first time entering a challenge; two days before the deadline and tons of homework, hnghh...hopefully I'll be able to finish or atleast get something decent out.

Looking for crits. this is the first time in a long time that my linework actually looks like...linework. But I do intend to go with a painted, rendered style, nothing cartoonish; I think I just wanted to get the details down. Looking for any and all critique on the anatomy!

[Andrew Sonea]

Sapphirelullaby: It looks good! Two things come to mind right away though. First, the foreshortening on his legs looks odd. Especially his far leg, the shin is very short. How it sits in space in unclear. Second thing is that I am not sure what he is looking at. The girl is behind him, so there is no way for him to actually see her the way they are positioned. Hope this helps!

[Samszym]

I think you did a great job with his expression, it looks like something out of The Meek! The line of the boot makes a couple of tangents in the far leg and it looks like we should be able to see the cloth on the inside of the collar over the far shoulder.

[Niam]

[RevaVargas]

Sorry to hear that, vivi, I hope for the best for your friend.

Decided to particitate to force myself to do something more elaborate... But my tablet died on me, and the result, well... At least I've got enough cash to buy another next time I go to the capital!
