Army of Small - Rules & Specifications

[madcan]

Hello,

Well I can't design and draw 2d, and I've got a friend who is willing to help me. So is it possible to get help on design and drawings? Or doing everything ourselves not only mean modeling but include those as well?

Cheers.

@ gyles: yes, ticks, scorpions, spiders, they are all in the arachnida class, and therefor allowed

@ madcan: You have to do everything yourself. This includes the concept work too...

[Kinrove]

Does it allowed to submit several entries !? Or are we simply allowed to make several and then choose the one we much like !?

[Tom]

On a similar note.. the final render... is it allowed to hold more than 1x of the insect?

Also, whats the verdict on the enviroment/pedistal/whatever the character will be placed on - is that part of the 1K too?

[doylle]

@ neaps: We decided that a rider is not allowed, because the insect will become more of a tool rather than a character/creature.

@ Baida: You can make as many as you like, but you can submit only one...

@ z-trooper: Yes you can add more than one insect on your beauty render, but don't exaggerate. You can also make a small environment, which does not have to be included in the 1k triangle limit, but don't spend to much time on this, it'll hardly make any difference for the judging...

This will be a good project for me, i missed the first competition as i joined the site half way through so i will defiantly do this one.

Not sure which insect to do yet but i will do some research before starting my thread

Can the bug be like a robot/android of the insect?

We decided that a rider is not allowed, because the insect will become more of a tool rather than a character/creature.

Could I ask you to reconsider that?

My concept is to have a Shamrock Spider armored like an India war elephant with a younger shamrock spider riding on it's back.

Some arachnids are known to transport their offspring on their back, so I figured it would be an interesting metaphor.

In an RTS a rider on horseback would only be considered one unit (cavalry for instance) and given the 1000 tri limit I figured than an RTS is the likely use for such a model.

Don't think of the larger spider as a tool - think of both spiders as part of the same character. Like a partnership.

How about it?

Please specify who will be judging this.

[Pearson]

This is going to be great. I'm definitely going to try this one.
