You can enter the challenge at any time but participation in the forum is necessary (give and take critique and suggestions) and deadline will not be exceeded.

Few Important Points and not rules

1) You can use premade image (existing photograph) as a background, sky, texture but not in foreground or say this is 3d challenge so dont try to use in important part of the image. Please try to model/create that.

2) Give useful critique and suggestions and try to avoid sentences for every entry "Good Work", "Wonderful work", when existing entry required lots of work.

3) Try to work on your image from first day because it looks there are so many days but when you get a paid work then these days fly...

Hope many of you have some critiques on my points so please post here and i will try to clear your doubts.

gr8 concept

Somehow I feel concerned when compositing is talked about...I know my entry in the love challenge included a lot of composited elements, but like I explained, I finished my image that way because of lack of time...I'm still just starting to learn 3D Studio Max, and I really did want to try to do all of it in 3D, but with all the other stuff in my life, in the end I just didn't have time to do it all. And I'm truly sorry if that offended anyone that I composited so much, like I wasn't playing by the rules of something...but at the time there wasn't really anything forbiding me from doing so in the rules, so I thought what the hell. the worst that can happen is that the refuse my picture.

So, today is a new day, and a new challenge is begining, and now the rules are perfectly clear about this. I will do my best this time to choose a concept that I know I will be able to finish in the time that I have so I don't have to resort to compositing at the last minute again.

This is another cool subject! Hope to see a lot of people participating, and best of luck to all of those who do!

Warpv, yes you are right. lots of work in life to do but these challenges prepare ourself how to complete the work within deadline after all other work. And yes compositing is not bad or offended but its good that make the better picture with that by compositing the elements but everyone uses to complete the picture so i little change the rules.. and hope now everyone complete the image because everything is clear. Best of Luck
