Art Challenges - Getting ready for Rage - topic suggestions

[Kidult]

We are firing the art challenges back up to get us all ready for the wonder that is Rage!! yay! But we need YOUR help....how? how can I help? you ask? simple, just suggest some topics.

Although not everyone will be attending Rage, I thought that we could have the challenges coincide with ideas for prints or posters that people could or would sell there. That way if you are going to Rage you'l have some stuff to work on and not worry about ideas. If you are only going as an attendee or not at all, you can still get into the swing of things by partaking and having cool artworks for your efforts!

From the feedback so far it seems that fan-art does sell quite well at Rage, maybe for the challenges we can re-design or combine various cool stuff into something a bit more original.

These topics will be for the sketch and art challenges!

Awesome idea!

[Kidult]

so in case I didnt make it very clear this is where you can suggest ideas for the challenges......so....suggest away please!

Well gaming is a big topic, so any game fanart? or a game char redesign? Or a create your own game char (set in a specific time perido/work/genre)?

Steampunk is still popular so maybe a steampunk theme original creation A3 pin-up.. 

[Vengi]

Vengi would like to try his hand at some steampunk...

[Margita]

Well..ok

I really like seeing game art in a different art style or from a different time, so for example a cool resident evil poster with 50's glam or an impressionist's take on Pac Man
