Teen Challenge 64: [[THE GLADIATOR]]

[Dave_]

TEEN CHALLENGE 64


The Rules:
Anyone ages 13-19 may submit an entry at any time before the deadline. Please host your image on a remote image-hosting site instead of uploading it to the CA server. This makes it much easier to transfer it to the poll thread.

The Topic: The Gladiator, pretty straight forward, but try to put your own spin on it. For example, what nation and what time does s/he live in. Don't be limited to the roman area and time. What is his/her fighting style, what weapons, etc.

IMPORTANT
1. Add a border around your image with your name and the topic, like they do with the other of the week challenges.
2. Please do not use attachment manager, but outside host your image.
3. Mark your final as final

The Deadline:
Sunday, may, 17th: 2 weeks.

im not so common with the rules and the english language
can it be a "gladiatoress" too?

[Dave_]

Yes, the character can be either male or female.

[Jerik]

this sounds fun... and i have lots of time to do it in...

will need to have a nice think on this one too... to make it interesting!

[AtlasIves]

hi never done the teen challenge befor im 19 so im a little late to the game but heres my entry he's some sort of cyborg prototype gladiator, for use in a bigbrother last man standing type of show sounds fun

[corza334]

My first teen challenge too ^_^
Im 16
Heres the initial sketch / idea

[Choob]

Finished my folios this week, so I should have some time.

Getting down some sketches now, but nothing solid.

May make mine a girl, not sure yet.

Gladiator Girl is on her way!

lol

Some good stuff coming through guys, and remember, development is the most important stage, dont rush it.

[Jerik]

PS: just thought i'd say: a female gladiator is a gladiatrix

otherwise i've decided to go with a classic+fantasy roman/Grecian hybrid era due to my overuse of sci-fi themed concepts recently... (too many aliens) so mine's gna be a little less extravegant than the other sci-fi types :/
sadly i am a nit and have lost my WIPs (gotta love 2 week challenges :3)

looking good so far to the few we can see...

[1chains1]

A challenger appears!!!
So yeah, go the bottom bio suit done, need to add tubing, metal, a head... and a weapon.

[joshjohanson]

Scanned in lines for me to start coloring. I decided to go back in time instead of forwards.

[corza334]

I think im done..
I suck at going from B&W to colour =/

[AtlasIves]

[joshjohanson]

[626elemental]

JoshJohannson: Nice concept! The stadium seems a little tilted to me, particularly close to the ground.

Here's my wip. Any critique is welcome

[1chains1]

Just a few more edits to the head and adding some volume to the closest arm near the armpit and I am bout done.

[corza334]

Finished


crits welcome and wanted

Edit: Gah can still see things wrong with it !! Ill fix tommorow

[NanoBlack]

Wow, nice work dudes!

Hey....I'm within this age group. YES YES YES! next challenge i shall participate.

[Mtijn]

There is something for teens like us? Awesome! I'm going to participate in the next contest. This is a great way for me to improve my skills, yep yep!

(Hope it's an awesome theme, since most are like: W00t!)

[corza334]

They should add teen challenge badges D:

[626elemental]

Corza: here's some crit for you... I like the character design/concept, but it's a little hard to see right now because everything is kind of fuzzy. Try to make hard things (ex. armor) have hard edges. Also you can add more dimension by giving different surfaces different textures - just put some hard bright highlights on shiny things and softer, more spread-out lighting on matte stuff. Hope this helps!

[Dave_]

Wow, nice work dudes!

Hey....I'm within this age group. YES YES YES! next challenge i shall participate.

You'd better finish it up man, looking good. The legs look kinda short imo, but that could be me.

[626elemental]

Whaddaya think.... color, or black and white?



Can't wait to see what the rest of y'all are up to

[corza334]

I like the colour,
are those giant floating seating? Or lights? It's kind of hard to tell.. for me anyway.
Thanks for you advice too

Just a quick question, I post the final here then the mod or whoever it is who sets up the poll will put it into the voting thread right?
