Starcraft 2 Art Contest

[TSx]

My friend and I entered an image in the Starcraft 2 art contest going on now.

Check it out here: http://us.starcraft2.com/dominion/propaganda-contest.xml?i=64&a=6#inum=64&ap=6...

and give it a "like" (facebook login required) to give us some support!

I'll upload the full version if people want to grab it as a wallpaper or something.

that is pretty badass, dont have facebook but good luck.

also, why does his visor have the little nudge at the top and dip at the bottom in the FPS view, but the reflection showing it doesn't have them?

Thanks for the feedback. The reflection was actually a late addition, put in on Tuesday afternoon before we submitted it. We didn't get a lot of time to perfect the marine.

This is a larger version, you can kind of see it better here:

It's beautiful work, but doesn't seem to fit the SC art style and pallet.

Bit too anime-like for SC universe and style. Good job nonetheless

just wondering as well what tool/app did you use to create this?

The design was my idea, the artwork was done by my friend/colleague Santiago (gallery: http://moonfx.deviantart.com/ ) He does some pretty amazing stuff. I think he might have done the initial sketch in Paint Tool SAI (I believe that's the name at least) but most of his work is done in Photo Shop (CS3, don't have a newer one yet). He uses a Wacom Intuous 3 but a lot of the work in his gallery was done using a Wacom Bamboo before we could get the Intuous.

There really are a lot of good submissions to the contest. The problem is their voting system. Not necessarily the facebook only part (though a lot of people are turned off by that), but the fact that there are 48 pages of entries. It looks to be a first in, first first out system, so the people that submitted early are on pages 48, 47, 46, etc. I feel sorry for anyone on pages 15-35 basically because very few people are making it that far through the list. The entries on the first page have more 'votes' than any other page, but there's no randomization or anything, so those same images are always displayed first.

We had fun with it, so that's worth something, but I do wish they were better organized.

what a lame contest, without weeding you'd have to go through dozens of pages to see all the entries... no ones going to do that.

 

[fustercluck]

All that came up was a big page of people's submissions...which one did you and your friend do?

Another contest for the 'talented'...so unfair

I linked a bigger version of it in the 3rd post down, looks better larger size anyhow.

I'm totally in agreement. They've handled this contest very poorly.
