Hmmmm...Would this idea pass the criteria for the challenge?

Idea: I suffer from heights fear. How about a small character posed on the top of a Hyper high place?

Anyone here plays Tibia?

Sure, that'd be fine. Don't forget, lighting, atmosphere, mood are whats' important!

I've started working on the character for the challenge. Modeling's all done, I'm only having problems with clothing.
Then I'll rig my char and make a terrain. Later, a small video.

Nice camera angle. I'd say definitely spend the rest of the time you have to really work on the judging points: lighting, atmosphere, mood.

Might texture it too, if you find you have the time. Don't forget, you've got until the end of August!
