MSFC December Holiday Contest 2008 (Dec 1 - Jan 31)

[-RJB-]

Like the title says this is a holiday based contest to get everyone into the spirit of the season.

All you have to do is come up with some kind of scene (2d or 3d) that depicts the Christmas/new year’s season inside some kind of sci-fi setting.

The deadline will be January 31st, 2009 and voting will start a few days later.

(I would like to suggest that a Santa hat award be made for this contest and be given to all who entry with a golden hat for the winner.)

 

[Syf]

I'll see what I can do about coming up with awards. Gotta get Majestic on here to pin them up.

But yeah, I like this idea, and the MSFC staff supports this.

So, making it official, this is the 2nd MSFC art contest. Rules are simple enough it has to be 2D or 3D, holiday season focused. For those that are not into Christmas or other holidays in this month, let me remind you that this can be a New Year's theme too.

So, off to the drawing boards....

Edit: Thread Stickied!

Being that 2d is allowed as well I think a Note should be posted in the 2d Section as well.


Work starting on a 2d style image

 

[Jasoneagle]

Sorry for double post but where do you want the entries?

 

[Syf]

Seeing as there are several hours between posts, it's ok.

Well, I'll leave that up to -RJB-, since the contest is his spawn.

[Jetfreak]

Heh, interesting challenge, here's my little bit of contribution in the 2d art category:

Spoiler: Happy Holidays

Not much, but still

 

[Borg_Queen]

Just a question: Is that a scifiplane as the theme also needed to be scifi?

 

[Jasoneagle]

Nice Tail Number, JF2008 Correct?

 

[La Patience]

I'll Try my hand a 2d pic as My 3D skills still lack lol. Plus gives me the chance to practise with GIMP and Photoshop. Oh and my new Graphic tablet.

Really? Didnt seem to know that it was supposed to be sci fi. lawl.

Here's an idea. "It was modified by SG-1 to use Wraith Avionics as a testbed, but since her first flight was supossed to be December 24. The guys in charge of painting the airframe did a little something..."

Nice Tail Number, JF2008 Correct?

True

 

[Jasoneagle]

Constructive Remark for an Airedale? Needs to be a little higher on the Rudder.

 

[Syf]

I think the entry qualifies. Since jets are as much part of Science Fiction as space ships. I remember a movie or 2 that had jets fighting alien invader ships.

Like Independence Day.

 

[La Patience]

[Jetfreak]

^ Thanks for the consideration peeps

It's an Su-33 Naval Flanker. Maybe the Su-35 was on yer mind. As I recall, it did have a redesigned rudder

Yep, that is one I had in mind.

Still a great movie all these years after it's release lol.

Agreed.

"Don't be shooting none of that green stuff at me!"

You're welcome.

And here I was thinking it looked like the F-18 Hornet with a bit of changes added. lol, Guess I need to study my jets once more.

I'd like to request one of those Jets from the movie "Stealth" with christmas Decals.

 

[Syf]

While not complete, I have an entry in progress.

 

[Jetfreak]

^ Heh, I'm guessing it's a starship verson of Santa's Sled...

Gonna have to decline on this one. There's no decent schematics for the plane in question.

 

[Syf]

Well, your pretty good. Can you also guess the "show" that inspires my creation?

No jet....
Just joking. I understand. No harm in asking Jetfreak.

Duck Dodgers?

 

[Syf]

You got me!

 

[-RJB-]

Here is the start of mine.


The scene will be called "I'll be home for Christmas...."
The window will have a view overlooking earth and there will be a desk by the window with a snow globe and some xmas lights around the room.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Seems since my pc has temporarily (hopefully...) died on me I won't even be able to try and get an entry done... Best of luck to those of you that enter.

 

[Syf]

We are near the deadline... Anyone actually entering this? I should be able to complete my model today.

 

[Jasoneagle]

Do to some Recent Computer Problems the Entry I have already posted will have to me my finial submission.

 

[Syf]

Well don't feel bad. I had to replace my HD, and I now can't seem to locate my entry model.

So, what to do... what to do?

Sorry for the lack of turn out RJB... Looks like this contest turned into a "no contest".

But the good news is, I will find and finish my model, even if it takes me 2 weeks.
