New User's Contest - January 2015

Sponsored by DAZ 3D and Cris Palomino


Are you new to the 3D World? Are you at the beginning stages of learning 3D rendering? Have you been around for a little bit but feel you could benefit from some feedback or instruction? Have you been around awhile and would like to help other members start their creative journey? Well then come and join the fun as we host our newest contest...

"Composition"

This contest is a general render contest with the focus being on how you compose your image. We're providing you with lots of great links on Composition from a variety of sources. Composition is key to pulling a viewer into your image and leading their eye to where you want them to see things. It's a rudimentary skill that we, as artists, not only need to learn, but will continue to hone over the years. Read about and look at the examples, in these articles, for how composition works and how artists, from the Masters to people like you and me, put these compositional guidelines to use to make our pieces more appealing and invite the viewer to look around your image as you intended.

I will be checking in on the WIP THREAD as will the rest of the Community Volunteers to try and help with anything you all may need, so feel free to ask questions. Look in the WIP thread for links on Composition.



For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread : Contest Rules
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When working on your submissions, if you would like to get feedback as you work or before posting your final image, please post your image to the WIP THREAD. People will be popping in to the WIP THREAD to give you some critique and advice on your entry and help along the way.

Please keep all comments on entries etc to the WIP THREAD as well because comments or requests for help/feedback/advice will be removed from the contest thread and merged into the WIP THREAD. This thread is only for posting final contest submissions.

For those veterans of the forums that would like to help, because this contest is designed for the beginner to learn from, we will be randomly selecting posts offering helpful tips and/or critiques to receive a special voucher as well so, whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, there is fun for everyone!

Closing Date: January 31st 2015

    Crocifissione di Gesù Cristo, 18"x24" (Image size 16"x22")

    Inspired by Salvador Dali, background adapted from a landscape painting by John Kensett. Image created using DAZ3D and Corel Painter X3. I liked Dali's idea but I always felt it fell short in many ways. Using DAZ I am finally able to bring my vision to reality.

    Iblis the Jinn and the Temptation of Lizzie, 24"x18" (Image size = 22"x16")

    The struggle of good and evil has existed before the dawn of man. Warrior Maiden Ariannah and her faithful companion, Lizzie are up to the task. This image is from the "People of the Planet Hetra Series," a growing body of work made possible by DAZ3D. This image was created using DAZ3D only.
