WEEKLY ART CONTEST: WEEK 20

Formally known as the Weekly Photoshop Contest

Congratulations to Mechagodzilla for winning last week's contest with 51.11% of the vote!

This is a regular contest on the boards. Every week a staff/forum member will choose a topic, then you show off your image creation, editing and drawing skills.

You will have FIVE days to enter your piece(s), followed by TWO days to judge the submissions.

The contest will end at ~12PM Saturday Afternoon (Central Time), judging will begin straight after.

RULES
These are fixed for the contest, they will not change for the duration of it.[/b]

1.) Only posts with submissions in them will be allowed in this thread. DO NOT discuss the pictures in this thread, another thread will be made for that.
2.) Serious submissions only, no stick figures.
3.) No pornographic images.
4.) Stick to the topic.
5.) Don't use Screens or models from the beta.
6.) Don't steal other peoples work.
7.) You may have two entries. You can use only one though, if you wish.


8.) Make sure to clearly highlight what number entry yours is. Simply put "Entry [number] by [name]" at the top of your post.


9.) Once the entry is submitted DO NOT edit it. If this becomes a problem we will have to upload them here instead of letting you use your own space.
10.) Your entry may be drawn, sketched, painted (digitally or by hand), as long as it is all your own work.
11.) You may not vote for yourself when the time comes, in order to make this a fair competition, you can only place your vote for other people. Anyone that breaches this rule will automatically disqualify themselves.

TOPIC
Design a HL2 Scene in MSPAINT (or similiar program for mac/linux)
This is a tough one guys! You must either create an entire scene in mspaint, or integrate drawings you have made in mspaint to a hl2 screenshot. Remember, no beta or unreleased content.

Thanks to Suicide42 for the idea

Prizes will not be given out (maybe coming soon!), all you're fighting for here is personal satisfaction and the smug look on your face when you haplessly beat down your opposition!

Good luck all and make sure to submit ideas for next week's contest!
 
I'd like to add that this is not the thread for discussion. Any discussion will be deleted.
 
Entry number 1, aparently.... and im Pobz... aparently.

Here's mine, It took me ages...

It's the scene right at the beginning... (similar style to HL1)

:p

Entry Number 2

Purrrreeee 10 paint minute art! :naughty:

*Announcer voice* MR. GOOOOORRRDDDDOONNN FREEMAN battles the evil zombified head crabified hosts and head crabs near a neighborhood being overrun by that giant black city eater. Will Freeman survive? Will the giant black city eater eat the entire city? Will the headcrabs be domesticated? Will Half-Life 2 ever come out? Quite frankly, nobody knows.

I can't believe I did this.

meh... I'm new here... Might as well start with a badly drawn Gordon Freeman and enter it in a contest. :p The fancy HEV suit was annoying. I envy the concept artists...

This is a classic pic of Gordon Killing one of the Combine Special Force Commando. Bud Gordon has a new weapon- G-35. Made WHOLE in MS Paint, and you can make it your wallpaper :) Enjoy it.

Entry #26 by Tim8604

Well guys... I probably spent a good 4-5 hours on ths after everything was said and done. I haven't done much art lately, but this reminded me how much fun it can be, to see the finished product :).

The original is too big to post on this forum, lol. It's around 1600x1600. I'll make a desktop out of this eventually if anyone is interested....but for now here she is. (to see the original quality one, click the pic)





The only thing I did outside of paint was to resave the bmp as a png to preserve quality and shrink file size. Hopefully I can give RJMC a run for his money, hehe. Let me know what you think. :D

Entry #28 by Vegeta897

Well, completely new approach, that I am suprized no-one used.
I have it here, scaled 2x to get the full effect.
It is an isometric version of http://www.halflife2.net/image_files/screenshots/08.jpg

Enjoy.

HL2_Paint_2x.jpg


EDIT: Some notes. The tiling on the road took a VERY long time to do, most of it was done by hand for a lack of a better way. (Ow my hands)

Also, this is my first real isometric piece. Vote for me! :p

Oh, and I started this at 7:00 last night, worked 'til 2 a.m. and woke up at 7:30 today and worked all the way up to 1:00. (Now)

So I was just chuggin away. X_X
