Z-Challenge Kick Off

Let the Modeling Begin!!!!!

The first ever Z-Challenge has begun here in Central Art!!!

Break out your Wacom Tablets and flex your fingers becasue we are in for a knuckle busting modeling frenzy. To kick off this challenge each person is going to create a character that fits into the life of the Carni. Carnival "Freak Show" is the topic!! Imaigne yourself cuaght in the middle of the annual town Carnival, where cotton candy, cheap rides, and expensive games surround your senses. Your curiosity leads you to a large structure comprised completely out of tents. Inside many oddities await your imagination. What do you see??

Submission Guidelines

Concept Sheet
Compile one or two sheets of all your thumbnails and final concepts. These sketches should demonstrate the direction that you are moving in and how you intend to build it.

Construction
Give regular turn around shots of your character to show the rest of the team your progress and include some quick descriptions of how you are achieving certain effects.

Beauty shot
show off your model with style by composing the maquette in the best pose for you character.

Texture Sheets
Show us how you put the texture together, if you use the polyPainting technique then show us some close ups of the nice texture detail you will create.


As an added incentive, there will be prizes for different catagories of models. So for instance if you create the most humorous model you might win a whoopie cushion or if you create the most sick and twisted character you might win a mcFarlene toy. Who knows, but I can't wait to see what is created!!

Happy brushing!!
