Posted at January 25, 2005, 9:10 am: If you have any questions or comments about COW...post them here! 1. Drawing a cow every week, isn't that kinda stupid? Yes, that is...like your question...but anyway COW means "Creature Of the Week"... 2. Do we need posting wips? No, the final entry only is ok...if your wips are something, the world needs to see, post em. 3. When will we post the images? Whenever you want to, between the first day and the deadline. 4. Who will host the winner images? Conceptart.org will host ONLY the winner images...first because of bandwidth and second because we don't want the winner-thread be full of broken links. 5. Is there something like a prize? The prize is fun, honor and maybe a little recognition (we 're working on it)... SPECIAL NOTE START ------------------------------------------------------- Now, it may sound hard, but the initial idea of COW was to start a regular activity on a high quality level. We have the DSG where everyone can post whatever he likes to and really, there are mostly only about 20% of the pics which are entertaining... So, primarily COW is NOT for the beginners or the ones who think a 10 minute sketch is worth posting it on a weekly activity... This is also the reason why i like to take images of bluefooted, Matt Dixon, MIKECORRIERO or any other artist, whose skills are great and their artwork always a pleasure to look at. Yes, even if their concept is boring or their creature leaned on an existing one. Because i want this activity filled with much quality work as possible. That's why i sometimes reject entries of beginners though some of the skilled members have the same lack of originality... I know many people will be disappointed or angry about what i am saying, but have in mind that the pros artwork always transport more than the idea, and read FIRST why i am saying this: As I saw Matt's Hill Stomper for example i loved it and had fun to look at it. Why? Not because it's "only" a well drawn giant (yes and it was human also), there is much more behind, which makes a real pro or dedicative artist: - many lovely details, which show a story behind the char (you can see his nature), the peaceful village/houses are just eyecandy - the emotion of the char, you can see the fun and pleasure he has stomping the hills - the atmosphere of the pic - dynamic, action - composition, colors, values etc There is sooo much which makes this kind of art different to the entries of beginners, which does NOT mean that i don't want beginners enter COW, but it's not enough to post a sketchy drawing of a creature which already exists, because there are none of the points i mentioned above...which are the results of hard work and effort and not a bonus they got from the admins... So, this said, COW is open for everyone, but a good artwork posted by a pro - no matter if it has a weak concept - is always good for taking to the poll. That's why i took Genital Eclipse's piece to the poll for the last round, though there was actually no concept, but the piece had great atmosphere and your imagination could go wild when looking at it. bluefooted's dragon didn't have a big originality in its design, but there was this wonderful magically atmosphere on her artwork, which matched perfectly to her concept. This guys and gals provide more than just nicely drawn lines... And don't tell me that i am frustrating newbies or beginners...there are only about 2-4 entries of 20-30 each round i reject... ------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL NOTE END ---------------------------------------------------- INDUSTRIAL DESIGN OF THE MONTH 1. Can anyone enter? yes! 2. Do we need posting wips? No, don't need to, but it's a great way to get crits on your design. 3. When will we post the images? Whenever you want to, between the first day and the deadline. 4. Who will host the winner images? Conceptart.org will host ONLY the winner images...first because of bandwidth and second because we don't want the winner-thread be full of broken links. 5. Is there something like a prize? Maybe a potato or something.
