Discussion Thread for the 2nd OGAC
 

Alright, so I'll give you a topic.

And the topic is, the 2nd Official Graalian Artist's Challenge.

Ok, now go discuss amongst yourselves. :cool:

Am I exempt? I have a good idea for this, I dont want to be exempt. :(

So, does this have to be like.. ice ice? Or can it be something MADE of ice?

Ok FINE, since your bending my arm backwards here, you are NOT exempt. As you asked. :frown:

And Scott, give me an indirect example. ;)

When you say ice cubes, that means we can use several cubes, correct? As long as we don't exceed any color limit, I mean.

Ice Cream :-)
Zen, I didn't mean to hurt your arm, *kisses boo boo*.

Of course.

You do realize I did NOT exempt you, right goboom?? lol

Ice cream I would say "no" to, but an ice-pop would be alright..you know, as long as its ice.

Aighty, thanks for the quick reply Zen. :)

Oy. Uhm... say an ice sculpture?

Yea that would be cool, Scott.

Lol scotts just going to do one of his cool drawings like the DJ ones he's done recently, and colour it in icey-like, and then win :cool:

Hmm, i may enter this one but then again i may not, this one sounds damned hard too and i dont have many ideas :(

grr, enter. I dont care if you think its to hard, I would rather you try.

To make a forum logo, would be my suggestion :D
Something new that shows graal well and maybe the whole width, like a banner.

Hmm thats interesting, the gfx that used to show at the top of the main page?

Animation is allowed right?

Weeeeell, i started an attempt on a piece, but all i could really think of drawing was like, a shard of ice type thing, a spike as it were...

I don't think its too good to be honest, especially not the top bit, and of course it's unfinished. D'you guys reckon i should bother continuing?

Put something frozen inside it, and have it's image distorted from the refaction n stuff...

In the top of it you mean?

I like that idea, it'll be a bit like the crazy Dr Hammond from jurrasic park's walking stick, with the amber w/ mosquito inside lol ;)

Thats really cool but in my 300x200 limit, it goes "width x heighth" x_x Thats how it usually is and I assumed people understood that.

And what do you guys think? Should animation be allowed?

Hell yes. Though.. with mine I can't do much x_X

Who knows, someone might make a cool animation =o!

Animation *must* be allowed.

Well I guess it would make sense, considering we are talking about ice here :)

Ok what the hell, you guys can make them animated this time! Now run along children, hehe.

Grh4h4r4hhhrrfvsdfsdfgggggsgsfsfdddddd, *STAB STAB STAB*

If they're allowed animation, am i allowed 200x300 rather than 300x200? ;)

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer would be the best thing to put in.

Just make your image and flip it sideways... XP

Frozen Caveman Lawyer* ;)

I know where you got that from though. My initial post in this thread was inspired by another SNL skit, lol.

:(
I don't think im talented enough to put anything inside it and still manage to make it look as if it's actually inside, and distorted and stuff.

And i dunno bout flipping sideways, i just dont think it'd look like, y'know, a -shard- if its sideways, and if it had something in it then zzzzz it'd be sideways o_O

Somone help me grasp how the hell to color things to make it look like ice. :[

This is hard >_<

I worked for like two hours and got NOTHING.

Use half transparrent colors, the best ones are in GIMP, go for a white with a bit blue, and for shading just increase the amount of blue.. hmm.. my theory that is ;O

^^
I'm glad this is providing a challenge for even the senior gfx members.

Myomoto, you talk'n about ignoring the honor system!!?! >;[

Rawr! Myomoto RESPECT the honor system or die! :-D
Yea ZEN this is HARD and aggervating, if you have anyone that survives it without killing you, I might have to do their dirty work. ;)

Eh... wha'?

Well I thought your suggestion for doing the ice was going against the honor system comment I made earlier. Using layers I guess and half transparent colors to make the ice look correct? I would rather you guys eye'd that sort of thing and just did it all by hand without any effects, like how Galdor managed to pull that off.

aaah, didn't read that part heh ;P

question
 

Does it have to be a image? WHy not a movie (.avi)

I want Goboom's sexy rose in my sig :( it's so sexay

You're starting to really piss me off.

Put it in your sig...
Me no cares.
