TrystanGST's WIP thread

Thanks. They're really lo-res shots. I'll get some better ones up soon (the deadline is only a few days away! argh!)

Anyone know if the deadlines are at the start or the end of the day mentioned? It says Deadline for submissions is June 30. Does that mean it has to be in before June 30, or before June 30 ends?

Cool, nice work on shading the blue it looks really good.

I'm wondering the same thing... and what time zone I sure hope until the END of the 30th!! hehe

Getting there:

 

[MightyChad]

That's freakin' NICE!!! You have been working hard to improve, well done. Must be nice painting with, Elly3438.

 

[TrystanGST]

Thanks chad. It does help to have him around, especially since he can critique the model in person. As we all know, pics can sometimes be misleading. And he won't hold back. He's tactful, but if he doesn't like something, he'll tell you. Which is also invaluable. Well back to it, I've got precious little time to get this done!

Great job Trystan! Keep it up!

 

[TrystanGST]

Got some wondeful news this morning. The governor has given me a stay of execution. The deadline is tomorrow night, not tonight. So I can spend a little more time tweaking and painting.

 

[kathrynloch]

Is it a call in to work paint day...I mean sick day...cough, cough.

 

[SkelettetS]

thats some really heavy purple fingers you got there!

 

[TrystanGST]

Haha right? That's the auto-color correct on my phones camera. I didn't run these thru photoshop first.

 

[TrystanGST]

Last pics you'll see before she's an entry. Tomorrow's going to be a LONG day.

 

[kathrynloch]

Whoo hoo! Looking great Trystan!

Tick tock! You can do it!

 

[SkelettetS]

man, so much details! just dont add more different colours please, limit the palette otherwise its going to look really messy. keep it up!

 

[TrystanGST]

Skel - that's been the challenge, especially on a timeframe haha. I didn't have a clear plan for a lot of the little bits going into this. The red tanks were supposed to be copper, but my experiment yielded unexpected results. It's more of a red with gold flake LOL

 

[TrystanGST]

Here's an honest question that might (or might not) get an honest answer - everyone knows the flaws in the CMON voting system. The ability to game the votes and such. My question is this - if contests are based off of popular vote, how do you take into account the gamed votes? I'd like to think that people wouldn't engage in such behaviour, but then I'm a hopeless optimist at times.

Looking like it's going to be a cool diorama, you are in for a VERY busy day tomorrow though haha

I think on this one, you're going to have to hope for the best. But I have no idea what the voting looks like on the other end of the server. Maybe CMON has a plan that we can't see.

 

[TrystanGST]

Well, it's up. I'm going to be hosed by the camera work though. Oh well.
