GameArtisans.org Main Challenge #5 ¨C The Comicon Challenge - Begins!
The rules are simple. Take your favorite ˇ°action-basedˇ± comic book super hero or super villain and create a fan-based representation of him, her, or it! Archie is not an action hero and neither is Garfield; however, Wolverine, Alita, Phoenix, Flash, Cyclops, Superman, Batman, Gambit, Daredevil, Electra, Joker, Magneto, G.I.Joe, Ninja Turtles, and many many more are all glorious examples of exactly what we are looking for during this challenge. The only two restrictions: No robots, and one of your final images MUST include a small comic book cover of the character you chose to make a fan based representation of for this event.
You now have five weeks to bring your favorite character to life in 3D, or into a Concept Art image. May the best Hero or Villain Win!
Good Luck!
