Really - I had it so different in my head - me 3rd at the most - I thought stwert was going to be first for sure. Just setup the PC but will be sorting the rest of this model out some point this week. Really? I Didn't, I also think the criteria of judgement are a bit unclear with this challenge, if I read the challenge outline: "...I would like to see a new take or look of a game character of your choice that is already out there, you can style it/make it into whatever you like eg: male into female or vice versa, or mechanical into organic or all of the above...Post a pic of the character of your choice that you intend to change.....All models in by end of April ,textured or not, as its the design we are after......Or even using the open gl high quality render setting to show it off in real time would be ideal.." I don't see this reflected in the judgement, although I really like rocky mills' design and I really think he put the most effort in it , had the sweetest presentation and the best quality render... in my opinion it wasn't the best redesign of an existing game character since it was mostly along the line of the original characters ( in style and so on), don't take me wrong I think it is really high quality work, just not the winner based on the forementioned criteria For the other final entries: Chirone: It was a valiant attempt, I liked the transformation, but imo not a redesign of an existing character, more like a merger of characters Mastone: It's hard to say something objective about ones own work, but in short; It was an original take on an existing character, but wasn't really finished the way I would liked to have finished it. Tweetytunes: Clear image at the beginning of his thread so everyone knows on what he's basing his 3D work on, but although his work was good ( like the hair) just like Rocky Mills' work, to me at least it didn't feel like a different take on an existing character, more like a different outfit the character stayed more or less the same as the original. Joey81: It's clear that it is Wil E Coyote and in his thread a nice start off image , but again no redesign CG Wolfgang: As I don't know the Robotrek character it's really hard to judge especially since it's based on sprite based stuff, but I do think it was a really good try to enter and be original especially for one that is ( at least so I think)relative new to 3D. stwert: As I said in his thread it is a funny character, but to me it is unclear on what original character he is basing his work(no startimage in his thread), it looks like a worms character, but not really a different take, more a recreation murambi: Since God Of War is a fairly recent videogame I think it was really courageous to attempt a different take on already briljant artwork, in the end it fell a bit short but that's not something to be ashamed of. I know the final judgement is based on an opinion and a certain point of view, but considering the challenge outline I would have picked these as the winners( I have not counted myself in, that's for others to judge): -1- Chirone -2- CG Wolfgang -3- Murambi Since these are attempts at a redesign of an existing character, and not a recreation of one They are certainly not the best renders, character designs or presentations, but that wasn't " the assignment". I hope that in future challenges, the challenge outline will be followed some more, again I know it's point of view /taste related and that you guys wanted to award the best work, on which I agree is Rocky Mills' work, it's just not a redesign, which was the main challenge outline
