Well, I didnt quite finish mine but I'm happy with it! This contest pushed me to try something I've been meaning to for quite a while (build little sets from scratch that are set in a dnd fantasy world.)
And finally entering a contest now that I'm a member
Here's my Lizardman on an adventure!
Video of the little reading nook set...

Really glad we've moved on from the yeti stuff, I just could not get into that. So weird, id usually have no qualms about drawing a yeti, but attach it to a contest/assignment and I was like 'blecch!'
I love this new contest topic though, as it is right up my alley!
I have been sculpting little gross fantasy creature characters during the pandemic,I even made a little forest traveller last month. I'm going to continue this style for this contest.
I have these already
The latest little guy even has a backpack for his travels!
Could/should I just use the backpack guy and sculpt him in a sitting pose as well? Then draw him running?
Is it 'cheating' a bit to use something/part of something you've already made?
I have ideas for a totally new lil fantasy guy, and could just do that. But, sculpting takes a long time and making multiples of one character in different poses would be a lot. Not impossible, or even that much of a stretch (considering I sculpt something every week and a half or so.) And I love this little backpack man!
I dunno. Thoughts? Cheating a bit? Do a new character? Mix drawn versions of him with sculpted?
Thanks!
I took a break from drawing digitally and made a small sculpture of 'Cthulhu'. Sometimes I need to change gears and reset.
'Le Skellete Inn'. Made from cardboard, foam, some paper too!
I'll post some non 3/4 pictures too, because I can. But that photo up top is the entry.
Another one! Haven't painted this one yet, but its been sealed with the Mod Podge paint mixture. This one is at a different scale. Larger, further away.
Build up
I did yesterday, servers are running at a slog right now. Could be interesting though.
Got some professional photos today at my buddy's studio with a few of my sets and wow!
@Tiffany-Thomas thank you!
I set this up outside and the sun came out for a minute in a great way, not sure I could get it to look like this again. Im going to try some more photography with a friend that takes great photos, has a real camera.
Needs a little snow on the roof/trees, but this could work as a winter scene
@Tiffany-Thomas thanks! Yeah, I'll share it as I go!
They may decide they don't want to work with me, but I can always go to Kickstarter. I think there's also an option where they'll assist me with a Kickstarter?
We'll see how it goes. Either way, it gives me some focus for what I'm working on.
Spoke with a publisher that I love and think would be a good fit for me. They're looking at my stuff and might want me to put together a little manuscript and some examples of photographs. Going to try and get something that looks 'finished' enough to submit as an example.
