Ideas for a contest

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 11:44 AM
I'm brainstorming ideas for this years' contest at conceptart.org. The theme is "Newborn" and it's about bringing our vision to the world. The description of the theme is here.

I'm curious which of my ideas appeals to you most. All the sketches are just an indication of the idea.

like the others in the thread, i'm preferring the first idea. It's dramatic, 'human', aaand it's also the only one where i can see the 'newborn' theme :P
:iconleonor:
Thanks for commenting. :)

Hmm, I fear the first is not very original. Also, the theme is not about a literal newborn. The idea is to bring a new vision into the world.
:iconcrrash:
i'm still with kyurai on that one. It just works.
the rest just isn't that obvious with the meaning (specially that last one...)

apart from that, i'm liking the one with you and your characters at the supermarket.
The skyscraper could be good, but it'd be harder to get it 'right'. I think its too hard to make it something that doesn't feel generic.
:iconleonor:
Yeah, I think people are not rooting for the skycraper because my drawing is so crap, it looks like a baby's toy, but that's the better idea.
:iconcrrash:
it's not only because the draft is kinda ...crappy :P
It's just a building... there is no emotion, no personality, just a tower with pods and stuff flying from it and a sun. The right feeling has to be set by the ambient with lighting, just the right background and of course tiny details that make a person look longer to see and understand it all.

"The right feeling has to be set by the ambient with lighting, just the right background and of course tiny details that make a person look longer to see and understand it all."

Sure. Which the crappy draft didn't show because it was just a crappy draft to indicate the core idea. :P

I like the idea with you walking through the supermarket with your characters in the background. It shows what you want to bring into the world (which is the goal of the project) and it shows some pride about their creation (in a good way) and affinity to your characters.

I`m always more drawn to paintings/drawings with living things or nature on it rather than buildings though, so maybe my `vote` doesn`t quite count.

I also loved the first idea but I agree with you about it being a bit literally. I can highly imagine there to be a more hidden vision behind it though but you`ll have to make that more clear I think for people to think deeper, or add a description to go with it.

Of course your vote counts. Thanks for your input. :)
