Dec. 3rd, 2011-- UPDATED CHALLENGES!

THE CRIT BLOG IS BACK AND IN FULL FORCE!

Love creating artwork but you can't find that extra-little push you need to get going? Looking for a community of artists to share your progress with? Want to press your foundations and aesthetic choices to the max?

Look no further! Open Crits is now a WEEKLY DESIGN CHALLENGE that will push you to get back to your foundations to enforce well-rounded drawings. All artists are welcomed, though for now the assignments will be geared more toward animation-themed work.

SPACE: TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE!




That's right STAR TREK: The Next Generation! A show I watched religiously as a kid every night with my sister while eating from our snack cups. So it's no wonder that when I think of space I think of Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise and his loyal crew member, first officer Commander William Riker who is known to have a love fling with counselor Deanna Troi, and Doctor Beverly Crusher who always has a tri-corder handy to scan you with, and Lieutenant Geordi La Forge, the blind engineer nerd, and officer Lieutenant Worf, the tough Klingon, and my favorite, the android Lieutenant Commander Data who has a love for cats. : ) Yes...I just totally geeked out on all of you.

And for you non-trekkies, some research material:

  1. Oh my goodness. Their expressions are priceless. Particularly Worf and Geordi's. Great job on capturing their character through their expressions.

    But I have to ask: Where's Wesley Crusher? AND WHERE IS Q?

  2. i love it. though i think that there should be a little more sense of place. the bridge feels flat in comparison to the characters. so think in the second pass you should focus on the ship, because that was a character too, in how iconic it became.
