    2D Mini Challenge


    It's time to gather up your creativity, pull together your talents, and get ready for a new kind of warm up competition in the Dominance War series - Mini Challenges! Although the theme is separate from the main epic event, world champion standings are assured for the best mini comp entries!

    To commemorate a new class of competition, we will be using a modified theme from Dominance War I. So this year's first ever Concept Art Mini topic is:

    War General Portraits!

    Rules
    Create a portrait of a leader capable of leading troops to victory! Your war general portrait can be from any time period and any race. As long as he/she/it looks like a war general, has the appropriate team war logo somewhere on the body/clothes, and has the appropriate team colors, everything is good!

    This challenge is here for those desiring to practice their art before the main event. So keep it easy, keep it quick, and keep it real.

    Deadline: March 2nd, Monday, 11:59pm Eastern Time

    CGHUB's Team colors: white and gold.

    CGHUB's Team Logo:

    On White and on black versions:
    [Hi-res downloads]

    These have to go on your character's body or clothes.

    You have 9 days (2 weekends plus 5 days) to finish with the following notes:
    - Artists can only join 1 team for any event during dominance war IV. If you start with polycount, you cannot enter another mini challenge or the main event with 3dTotal or cgsociety.
    - You are not required to enter all challenges. Pick the ones you like, and join.
    - Posting your Work in Progress in this single thread is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY.
    - You can only submit one "up to" 1000x1000 350k max final image. 200w x 1000h is fine. 999w x 500h is fine. This image must include your team logo, your War General's name, and your personal name and/or contact details.
    - Only 1 entry per person. Do not create or try to create multiple entries with different user names.
    - Final submissions are final. If you upload your final image 4 days before the deadline, do not ask us to change it. Make sure you are happy with your image before you submit it into the system.
    - Public voting starts Thursday March 5th to March 8th to find each team's best 5. Each team’s best 5 entries then gather together into a single pool and a grand mini champion chosen and announced with all other Dominance War IV event champions in June.

            I'm also curious, Joe.

            And I may be blind, but is there somewhere that shows/tells what the team war logo is and what the team colors are?

                Sleeepy.

                Still working on my concept. Bad 3-AM writing a-bound.

                Seventeen is the age when want to become men, sometimes through the validation of a woman. Now, seeking a woman is a different matter. Courtship is such a hassle when one has a full purse, but these types of markets don't have purchase guarantees. The Plague serves as an eerie marker adorning those who chose to quell their sinful desires.

                Jack Cateater cannot remember his real name anymore, but he remembers that one night of gold and hot sweat. Supposedly, he was once a merchant's sole, arrogant, heir. He still has a head for numbers and will still drive a deal with you. For anything you'd like. If you are willing to pay the price, of course. And the price can be quite steep.

                As for the nickname, he only says, "Cats eat rats. In that sense, a cat a wonderfully diabolical, wonderfully cruel, sewer lord, is he not? Now, if I ate rats, that would make me equal to a cat. I, for one, most certainly enjoy my position as the lord of lords."

                        Hi, I'm new to CGHub. I like everything I'm seeing! So I'm going to probably join up here for the dominance war! Not that I will be a boost to your ranks or anything but I'm looking for somewhere to make a fresh start!

                        Lots of cool stuff so far. I'll be posting some of my ideas within a couple days. So till then, I look forward to seeing the awesome work everyone else puts up!
