Mini Comp suggestions thread.

[NiGHTS2o06]

Hey guys,

I was wondering whether you thought it would be a good idea to have a suggestions thread for mini comp themes. Might see some interesting input.

Personally, I would like to see a "Create a Final Fantasy summon" or "Create your own transformer" mini comp.

What do you guys think?

[Armanguy]

maybe create your own robot

or re-invent a game character, heres an example:

Make Mario a gun toting gangster instead a lovable character.

[BuroKun]

mini pilot
character in a plane. the rest is up to you.

boogeyman
make a monster in a closet.

supershoty
make an insane shotgun.

puppet look-a-like
make a puppet that looks like someone famous (video game character, movie start, etc)

[sinz]

I like your idea Armanguy just twisting it up, I guess.

Something like create a character if they where a good or bad guy, so mario would become a wario and vice versa.

[ShadyD]

Well, If Joe runs out of idea's for the minicomps, he can take a look at this thread =).
Here are my suggestions:
Your Own Fast-Food Mascotte
Oh yes, you can make a huge clown or a king who eats burgers!

Bunny Parody!
Create a costume for the raymann raving rabbids, rabbit character, that refers to a famous movie or game character. (Click here for an example)

I was thinking that Enviro art would be good value, probably once the Unearthly Challenge is done but I would certainly enjoy an excuse to make some props. Low poly enviro props to fit a room or concept, would be a bit different. Not sure whether it would just be a theme or a whole other genre of mini-comp... Anyway.

Hey everyone.

To me concept art is always about new ideas and creativity. Something that's amazing to work on and also hard to create. For example, creating a new night creature, a new night legend. I mean something fabulous except Vampires and Werewolves. I'm talking about a new race that doesn't come out at night to drink blood or to change because of the moon. It seems a great amusing concept, but it's hard. I think these kinds of ideas can take attentions and can be motivating.

I actually like your idea Nights2006. I do like to create my own transformer and I believe many people do want that. Since there are lots of transformers fan and so many artists, I guess it might work.

I wouldn't mind having a partner or team comp where you have to pass the WIP back and forth until either person submits it.

Themes: classic movie monsters, aliens, observational characters ( inspired by everyday realife people/animals, Weirdest stuff you can out do others with contest.

[walrus]

Seeing as it's getting close to time to do some new non-DW minis sometime soon... I just noticed that Slaughter posted a great low-poly human armor model in the SDK thread. It would be great to use that for another SDK mini at some point. (Maybe not right away, as the DW4 mini was also an SDK.) I also think that the Kingdom Hearts mini was so huge, many of us wouldn't mind doing the exact same mini all over again (only choosing different characters this time around, of course!)

[TksDeadly]

It will be great to have a Team effort Comp.... same as Comic Con and Kingdom Hearts but in this there should be a team to two, one with the hero character and other with the villain character, the final composition should be the fighting scene b/t them or some sort of interaction between them the Best interaction b/t the villain and the hero win

[grimdc13]

Oh I like your Idea TSKDevil I definently would love to try that challenge.

[Sicarius]

I wouldn't mind the idea of another SDK challenge. I wasn't around for the last one, but it sounds like fun.

[Mrpearlzildjian]

Capcom Characters. lol

I'm just saying that cuz want an excuse to do Megaman :P

[jolo88]

Umm you all seem to like big beefy warriors. I would love to see what u'd come up with, for an artic warrior.

All i can think of, is an armour made of seals,polar bears and whale skeletons. With eskimo/inuit style clothing. Humm it could be combined with glowly magics.

im sure u'll think of more ideas

[KEDavidson]

Bill & Ted's most Excellent low-poly 80's competition

make a low-poly tribute to the A-team, or the Terminator, or Indy, or the freaking Monster Squad. as long as it came out between 1980 and 1989. (T2 came out in 92).

say 2500-3000tri for a single character and some kind of lower variation for groups, like 2000 each
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

L4D Survivors Series

create a zombie apocalypse survivor, non-military/spec forces. just an average joe/jane who survived being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[KEDavidson]

Uber Low-Poly VS

Spidey VS Venom, Wolverine VS Sabertooth, Stephen Colbert VS a Bear! 1500 tri each! booyah!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What i did on my summer holiday's. by: Samus Aran

we all know Mario and Luigi are plumbers by day and Ash likes to go camping on the weekends; but what does Kratos do for kicks, or for that matter, what does Sonic wear to the beach?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[KEDavidson]

Teenage Mutant Ninja... well anything really...

got to a pet store, pick an animal that isn't a turtle, slap a mask on it go muscle crazy nuts!
----------------------------------------------------------------

Pride and Predjudice and Zombies

my wife just picked up this book, haven't read it yet but the idea of taking classic literature and throwing in Zombies is just too good to pass up!

[Razvan-Sedekiah]

I would like to do "Create a Final Fantasy summon" and a Kingdomhearts remix.

IDEAS:
*Change a classic anime style character into a much more realistic character.

*Weapon of Choice (developing a unique and/or beautiful weapon.)

*Draw a character in there living space. The living space should heavily reflect the likes, personality, and habits of the character.

*Pick ANY three (minimum) existing living creatures and combine them to make a new mythical beast.

*Magic spells. Show a character casting a magic spell and show it's effects.

*Sweet Ride. Design an interesting mode of transportation.


I'm really looking forward to UC.

[WarNoodle]

IDEA!
I say we create a 3d/2d mini comp of comic strips in the news paper. Take your favorite comic strip character(mine would be calvin or rat from 'pearls before swine'). Maybe recreate the character some so they are not so simple like the actual comics are.

So many options out there! Dilbert, Get Fuzzy, Over the Hedge, Pears before swine, calvin and hobs, garfield,.. and so many more... final entry would have to have a small thumb nail of the actual comic strip with your character you chose in it.

Here is the comic strip web site http://comics.com/
