I’m in on this one!
Hopefully I’ll finish this year
I’ll update this thread soon with a concept sketch
Wow what you have there is AWESOME! I have NEVER seen something that realistic before Jeep! Great work 
jk. Good luck with the competition, maybe I should join this one this year… hm…
yup looking good so far, keep up the good work. You may want to smooth it out a bit more.
uh, thanks!
@c_sander, sure i’ll work on that
anyways here’s the first part of my sketch
basic idea:
so there’s this warrior riding on the back of a large wolf-monster-ish-thing, which is standing on that rock on the left
he’s looking at the castle (where the person who needs to be rescued is located)
in one hand is a weapon, somethin like a spear, and the other hand has some object that belongs to the one being rescued in the castle - something like a pendant or piece of clothing
I was thinking of having something like an army in the valley, but now i’m not sure…what would be a good thing to challenge the hero?
i’ll try and do this image in tolkien/god of war/prince of persia style

Look a little 2D for a 3D contest… lol it looks great man! This is looking to be an awesome image! Can’t wait to see some modeling!
ya it kinda looks like you drew that. Try to make it 3D if you can 
LOL
Looks pretty cool so far…
Damn jeepster’s entered, this ends all those beautiful daydreams of glory and all. You stuff is really top notch so I will be keeping an eye on this and hope you finish. That sketch is really cool the tower or castle reminds me alot of Barad Dur (Sauron’s lair).
That was quick! … I guess you had a head start you sneaky bugger
nice start. One thing bothering me so far, the tower is too close to the end of the image on the right. Give it some more blank space after it. Try to make it fit in a traditionnal field guide for tv. It should do it.
I’ll keep an eye on this one :ba:
Look’s cool, similar to my 2nd idea. :rolleyes:
Following your progress
Ecks: sure thing!
alltaken: say what? an hour and a half is enough time to draw out a simple sketch 
It could make all the difference…
One thing I would love to see on this concept is tying the details in the foreground back up to the castle itself. just a tiny amount of human influence in the rocks at the bottom to create a start and an end to the image.
Good Luck.
The sketch looks great. Looking forward to see what you do with it. What type of sky do you envision?
right now i’m thinkin of having a really cloudy sky in late evening, with dramatic red/orange light
well anyway, i started sculpting out that mountain in my sketch

Great work so far!.. Can’t wait to see more.
Very cool, very scary
thanks guys :]
here’s some inspiration for the tower on the mountain, i’ll do that next

i really think that the spiral going down would be awesome but i’d hate for it to seem like i’m copying from zordan 
(not my intention)
dunno if i should do the spiral and hope nobody notices or if i should keep the tower straight and hope it’ll look almost as good as a spiral
dang homie this janx is off the heezy fo sheezy knaw mean
:]
so i was just playing around with a 2.5 build for about an hour and i ended up modeling a face…I think i might end up using it as the hero for this scene…
I’m aware he has a giant hole in the side of his head, but what do you think of it so far?

Looks solid to me.
