Title: Art Challenge 2022
Post by: Aelin on December 27, 2021, 06:45:29 AM
After "Fantasy Art" in 2021, we have decided to try something else.

So for 2022, we will propose you 4 themes, settled to work each on 3 months, to keep your muse in alert. Each new theme will be announced 1 week before it starts officially, to leave you some time. This topic will be updated at that moment.

- first quarter: "Magic". You can show witches, warlocks, mages, magical tools, rituals...
- second quarter: "Streets"
- third quarter: (starting July 1st) "Mad Scientist~Weird Inventions"; look the link to see a description https://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24682.msg423949#msg423949
- to be announced: "The Natural World" ; look this link to see the description
https://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24682.msg426807#msg426807

No pin-ups or portraits per se, although those will be allowed. We would like for you to focus on the theme.
No nudity is allowed.

Each creation can be choosen from a side to the other of its linked theme (for example, for the first theme, the last choice will be March 26th, so any image before can be choosen).
So, enter often and make us dream!

You find the gallery HERE (https://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/thumbnails.php?album=1031)

Never had a problem tie up to the pier as that came before liberty. I had a problem remembering were it was tied up after a few hours ashore.   :beer:

Ok, so for the next quarter (tomorrow is the last winner for the current theme), the theme will be simply: Streets

All rules from first message of topic are still working.

It's short, but you still have until 11:59PM from US East Coast to do something.
But Art Challenge or not, we are still glad to see your art, like the art of everyone :yes:

Post by: Radkres on March 27, 2022, 09:41:14 PM
Streets? o.O like the movie? or a Street Scene?  :odd:
Title: Re: Art Challenge 2022
Post by: Aelin on March 28, 2022, 07:00:21 AM
Don't know the movie, so I can't tell you about.
Just "streets", with or without anyone inside. And yes, can be a street, an alley, an avenue, a boulevard... or any possible name we have for.
All epochs, with or without beings, that's up to you!

The rules don't say how many times you can enter in each quarter.
Title: Re: Art Challenge 2022
Post by: Wizzard on April 01, 2022, 11:32:08 AM
As many as you can? No real limit, a reasonable [echoing laughter in the background] number can be submitted. 8 )

No limit! That's the standard rule for Art Challenge, like it was for Toon It, or Fantasy Art, or any other weekly contest at that "location" before.

So the part that I missed was that it's a WEEKLY contest with a fixed theme per quarter.    :insist:  I'll try to do better!

Well, I seem to be the only one submitting.   :insist:  I had hoped to stimulate some activity.

Thanks for doing this, Aelin.  It is encouraging to have to step outside by usual stories.

:peek: Thank you for your participation anyway. But you aren't alone who participated this week. Radkres did something too :winks:

July will be the very start of the third quarter, with another theme. Perhaps more activity with holidays?

Yes, I see that Radkres did.  I'm just learning that it runs Saturday to the next Friday.  I'm more than a little slow on contests as I usually just sit in my corner and tell stories.   :knelvis:

Well, I have a ton of render ideas that have streets in them so I'll keep submitting them.

Yeah all the autofits and converted won't work as it messes up the rigging in what I want to convert over. Was the first thing I tried
Title: Re: Art Challenge 2022

Have you tried this one: https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-clothing-converter-from-generation-4-to-genesis-3

and try an autofit on the result? 

Or have you tried the Joint Editor Edit -> Rigging -> Adjust Rigging To Shape...

Just trying to brainstorm an alternative.

All of the above and as it is not a clothing item I am wanting to port over it none of the clothing converts work
I had posted a topic here about it

*click*  the V4 Clone for "insert Genesis figure here".
In theory lets you run V4 chara and clothes on Gen# chara. Also in theory allows use of the Gen# morphs as well?

I will also update the first message of topic to let know to everyone.
It's also the last theme of this year for Art Challenge. Please read! And if you have questions, they'll be answered as much as possible in this topic.

The Natural World => Theme for fourth quarter

With Fall, the Nature is going step by step to her sleeping.
This quarter we close the year with Nature, a lot of Nature! No matter the season nor the planet.
BUT, no human is allowed on your images. Which means allowed creatures are: animals, fae folks without humans figures/faces, monsters, aliens...

Warning: the theme is given to you now, for that you be ready to think about. But all entries for that theme before Saturday September 24th (USA East Coast timing zone) won't be taken in count. It's only from that date they can be ok.
The first winner with that theme will be Satuday October 1st.

Yes, we move the weekly wonner in the special gallery. Next weekend, your image will go with previous winners.

Rad, erase as much as possible the human aspect of your faeries yes, if you want to put some on your images. And remember: Nature isn't necessarily on Earth only, so why the fairies?
And I'm sure there are figures we don't necessarily think to use on our runtimes.
But the theme itself stays "The Natural World"
