answer my riddle n the esophagus will let you pass


« on: February 16, 2009, 08:51:24 PM »

Deadline
2nd of March, 2009.

Thanks to Espen for allowing me to run the WDA for the time hes busy.


This week's topic: Pre Dinosaur Jungle

Brief:
I want you to design a landscape, a jungle, it may be swampy, with creatures or without creatures.
The flora and fauna of that landscape should be before dinosaur life developed, i would say the Carboniferous Age should fit best (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboniferous).
The creatures can be designed by yourself but have to fit somehow to the fauna of that age, but you can leave the creatures out if you want to.
Plus i want you to design 2 plants for that age. You can use reference and on that base design your own that fits into that Age.

Take the wikipedia site as a pool of inspiration, not as a guideline. In the end its up to you how you imagine the time before the dinosaurs appeared.

These things need to be included, to get into the votes:
1) an Illustration of a Carboniferous Jungle
2) two plant designs (you can decide whether to put them into one file or two, but they have to be seperate from the illustration)

Because there is more than just one pic to hand in, i will extend this week's wda to 2 weeks, hoping some more people will join and there will be some awesome entries. argh!


The pictures format can maximum be 1000x1000 or less.

When the deadline is over a vote will be raised, for you to vote for your favorite entry, I'm not the judge here, everyone is.

Have one post for your entries, don't post new pictures in new a post, edit your old post with the update. CLEARLY DESIGNATE YOUR FINAL.

Please save your entry as, for example. "pdj_illustration_wda35.jpg","pdj_plants_wda35.jpg" don't use old drawings, and use more then 15 minutes on the pictures.  Wink

And with that I'm telling you to have fun, and get inspired to create the best illustration you can!

NEW BANNERS as a prize.

whatever you think will get you the votes...

theres no restriction to color or b/w

dont take these restrictions too seriously those are more or less just guidelines, just imagine some jungle before dinosaurs existed, imagine some plants that couldve existed there and draw them ^^

I'll consider this one, but it defiantly sounds the most difficult.

Well I tried doing a self portrait, but it ended up a swamp creature  Tongue

Is this legal tho? I mean I tried making it bottom half wood and top half soft but I think it still doesn't meet the requirements of this comp. Twas fun when it randomly galloped out my imagination and nightmared itself onto the paper!

I'd just like to note that Pre Jurassic != Pre Dinosaur. I'm assuming you meant pre-dinosaur, but then the thread title is incorrect >.>

I suck, but I'm going to join in anyway.....





It’s a parasitic carnivorous plant with a flower lure.  (It attaches to various water creatures and only feeds on sources aside from the host when breaking the surface of the water. I hope this is within the rules. )

*Update:

Well, I figured while I'm working on the overall image I could go ahead and post the second plant design:











 (I know the quality isn't as high as some of the stuff posted on this site, or even in this thread, but, it is my first attempt at scenery (of any kind)... So, I'm happy with it relative to this.)

P.S.

 Cantdraw is a lier!

*Edit: This is my finished image as far as the comp is concerned. Smiley

Opening photoshop and google searching inspiration as I type this  Smiley

EDIT: Real rough, but I like how it looks. I'll tighten it up and start producing the finished product tomorrow.
