I've got the Blood Beast 1/3 finished. Having trouble thinking how to draw its shiny red behind (the north and west facings), so if anyone has any ideas for that.

Once I've done that I'll package it up with some of my old ones (another hand drawn monster, two edited monsters and some edited items) and send it to you TM.

Could you be a little more specific about what the problem is? (is it hard to make it look shiny or wat?) Maybe I can help.

No, the problem is more that I can't think of the shape of the back. Possibly what Avernum monster would look closest to it from behind.

Well, can you describe the Blood Beast to us in words? That might bring out a few ideas.

Well if you have a copy of Blades of Exile they have a pic of it. So far its a big red muscular creature, the face is dark with hornes, demonic like. In its standard pose its crouched down, one claw to the ground in a ready to pounce pose.

In its attack pose its raised up to its full height (bigger then an ogre)slashing with its claws.

The legs jointed (like a demons) which makes it tricky to draw from behind.

I guess it would look similar to the back of a Hakaai, just change the colour to red.

Could you put them up somewhere while the contest is going on, so we can see what's been entered in each category so far?

Also curious about somethings. Like what exactly would the winner get from this competition? (fine with me if its just bragging rights) and who's judging it, just TM?

I might petition JV for a game reward. It probably won't happen, but it's a decent pipe dream. As it stands, there isn't a reward beyond allowing designers to make more artistically sound and aesthetically pleasing scenarios.

Judging will be done as it has been in graphic contests past. People can judge as many or as few categories as they want, submitting a score from 1-10 for all graphics therein, providing that they aren't entrants in the categories they're judging.
It usually works out fairly well.

If some of the categories are still empty at that point, I'll slap together some random graphics and fill them up myself.

Heh, since I've been told of for using JPG's, anyone know a free program that will CLEANLY convert a BMP to a GIF? Since I only have MS Paint at the moment, JPG's come out the best from it unfortunately.

I'll only submit if I'm allowed to win more than one category. :)

Thus far, I've submitted 4 reasonable graphics. I'm back, y'all.

Paint Shop Pro does an excellent job converting high-color graphics to 256 color GIFs. That's what I use.
