Weekly Art Contest: Week 23 Discussion

Well, pretty good topic. I am taking a very unique approach to this, utilizing my other art skill. Animating.

Hope I pull it off nicely. :)
 
The first entry by Glo-Boy is beyond what I was expecting from this contest idea. I really like the work put into it. It's very unique.

I wounder if vegeta897 can match it?
 
Bah can't edit the top one anymore.

Here's a rough quick sketch I just did in Photoshop. I'm gonna model it 3D though.
 
Contest is over! Blumen wins!
 
I like Blumenkohl's except the pistol grip and trigger guard. They just dont seem to fit, and the shape is akward.
 
Blumenkohl's is awesome, but I agree with SnowBall. I particularly don't like the color of the pistol grip
 
Thirded, I don't like the handle :(
 
The reason for the yellow grip is because I wanted it to sort of fit with the Combine costumes, most of which we have seen so far, have a yellow part in them. It is a Combine assault rifle after all. ;)
 
i really wanted to enter this, but i havent goit round to doing an entry... and i just remembered im not gonna be on Hl2.net untill monday :/ maybe tim will keep it open longer because we havent got many entries.
 
I am posting my entry now
I am afraid cuz the other entry looks good and my entry is made in paint
but I think you will like it cuz is very diferent to all the last entrys
 
is done
chek it out and tell me what you think
 
Looks great rjmc. You have a really good sense of perspective/3d.
 
Looks REALLY good.

WOW if you can do that in Paint...I'd buy Photoshop for you just to see what you could do in that... :eek:

Errr *looks at wallet* nevermind. :eek:
 
Unlike I said earlier in my Bugbait thread, I started to work on my animation.

I will have to cram to get it finished, I should be able to pump out a decent movie.

Some info about it, it is called "Failed Weapon Designs For Half-Life 2" It has a little comedy in it, (or so I plan) and.. yeah. So far I have one weapon designed with sound and stuff. :)
 
Here is a preview of the animation. There is a 70% chance I will finish in time.

Sorry for the double post. (No one has anything to say, so...)

Holy macaroni, RJMC.. That is absolutely awesome, I wish they had that gun in the final game :D
 
I actually thought that the gun was a real gun man. And then I found out it was your design and to tell you the truth, THAT MODEL AND DESIGN IS SUPERB and like Harij I also wish it would be in the final game. Probably you could implement it in the game like a mod when it comes out?
 
Sigh, something is wrong with the sound in my movie... So I guess you'll all have to see it later. I probably wasn't gonna win anyway.

Nice work everybody.
 
lol, thats an amazing flash. i might make a speedy entry tonight (on second thought i will, as its the holidays) :)
 
where is Val.. Valt... er... Tim?

probally just has lots of work. he'll be back ny the end of the week, mark my words :p
 
Yeah sorry guys. My internet has been having some issues lately and haven't been able to get on much at all. Hence why the no IRC. I waited for some more entries into the contest, but I guess no one else felt inspired. I'll post the vote up a little later today.
 
Hey Blumen, which 3d package did you use to make yours? I'm using Blender right now, but its interface blows my mind :x
