My other contest entrys:
PWND: [link] Welcome to the show: [link] Wild Wild Chess: [link] Behind Enemy Lines: [link] So... Chess. I started modeling this chess-set a while ago, but then i sort of took a break from it. But when the "Bring your Vision to Life"-contest was announced, i decided to finish it off. Chess, to me, somehow has always been about "black vs white", "King against King", "mind vs mind", duality and contrast, so i thought, that might suite the theme quite well. Aside from that... hmm, i think, there is a little double meaning converning the title of this deviation here: Chess is a game of two minds, challenging each other. So its definitely a mind matter... Arent good and evil, too ...? In fact, i had a COUPLE of nice ideas for this chess-set, but somehow i managed to procrastinate all this quite a bit, and on top of that sort of "got carried away" with this image a little, and so i dont have too much time anymore to finish my other ideas i had for this. (or to start them for that matter, haha! ) I should ahve started earlier, haha! Anyways, my entry so far. Hope you like it  I do. Oh, and for the techies among you: Maya, MentalRay. No HDR, just two area lights, and some postwork in PS (just compositing the passes and a little Depth of Field, no colorcorrection or "clean up" or such). [EDIT:] Just in case you´re wondering: The black parts in the glassfigures... Well, at first, i thought it was a rendering error, because my rayTracing was set too low or something, but in fact its correct that way: The glass figures (as well as the black ones) DO all have a small black SOCKET to stand on, which is a little bit "inside" the figure. I thought, that would make sense, because you wouldnt want the figures to scratch over the surface of the field, right? And if youre thinking, the chessboard was hovering in the air a little: youre right. The Board has four small feet it stands on, so it wouldnt get scratches when you put it on the table.

 Wow, that's pretty aweomse
 Lovely job on this one definately ^^-- __(> '' )>_________________(v '' )___ I want to hug you, but... you're just so far away... "Leave a candy in the dish, and in the morning find a...comb." ~Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack  UNDEAD Thank you very much
Your comment is highly appreciated ^__^ (especially since i can really use a new tablet XD ) -- The road to hell is paved with work in progress... [link] SKiTTLES FOR GERMANY!!!  hey, thanks for comments for my work, it gives me the warmth feelings seriously (but personally, I'm not the gay guy. Heheh. Joke, I like your chess... btw, could you teach me how to add you as my favourites or friend, Trigger? It would be a great experience for me indeed. I started to love this forum the same as cgsociety.org. ^^
Oh, CGSociety is a great place and their forums are a good place to be, too!
And i am glad that you enjoyed my comment, it comes from heart (and no, i am not gay either xD ) So, to add someones work to your favorites you would go and look at the column on the left, there should be a little star, and next to it it would read "add to favorites"... To add someone as a friend, you go to his (or her) profiles site and on the top bar you should find a button reading: "Watch this deviant", and that would add someone to your "watchlist", meaning: you will get notified whenever that person updates his / her journal, loads up new work, etc etc. Thats "adding someone as a friend". Oh, and private messages are called "notes" here. You can send someone a note by going to that persons prfile and clicking the "send note" button -- The road to hell is paved with work in progress... [link] SKiTTLES FOR GERMANY!!!  cool prespektive

Yeah, i like the perspective, too I think, its about the diagonals, somehow and thanks a lot for the  , too -- The road to hell is paved with work in progress... [link] SKiTTLES FOR GERMANY!!! -- My popular art is Jack skellington I am using Wacom Graphire3 Classic Pen Tablet sensitive to 512 pressure levels I just upload the piece, but it ask me to printable version.
Err... That means, I must subscribe or pay for it first to validate the feature with paypal or what? Shall I call you, sir, sir? Because I'm just too young for this (not seen from the formalities, but the difference of our age, just trying to more respective to anyone, sir.) ah, yes i know what you mean. No, it does not mean, that you have to pay something.
deviantART offers to all members (and not just the paying ones!), that they can sell their works as prints. that means, people can buy prints of your work in a store, and deviantART prints them ships them etc etc and you would get a little profit from that. And all that the deviantART System is asking you there is: "Hey, would you like to make your artwork available as a print?" And of course you can answer "yes" or "no" to that. Little tip: You can always make your artwork be available as a print later on. And be sure you have fairly highres pics to use for the prints And no, you dont need to call me "sir" at all, haha! deviantART is a community We´re all here for the same reason: because we love ART! Its really just very.. .hmm.. ."loose" and "casual" here, no need to call anyone "sir" or "Ma´m" And age doesnt change that either. I have friends here on dA, whose age ranges from 14 to 55, for example To put it short: Its called "deviantART", not "deviantAGE"  -- The road to hell is paved with work in progress... [link] SKiTTLES FOR GERMANY!!! You've made me laugh, sir... wups... i mean, man, man.

In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.
