AUGUST 2015 – CG Cookie 2D Summer Contest – Post apocalyptic character.
So next up, I saw the CG Cookie summer contest. Unfortunately I joined too late, with less than two weeks of the five remaining. Still, I saw this as a chance to push myself to work at digital painting for a week or so. Although the contest was character based, I decided to stick to what I know as I suck at characters and was in no way good enough to do anything decent. So I came up with a story and created a scene with a chartacter in it. My submission is below , and all the entrys to the competition are here : http://community.cgcookie.com/t/2d-summer-2015-contest-final-submissions-thread-over/2294
I decided to try a different approach with my entry. In movies and games, we nearly always see the main character triumph. Kicking serious zombie butt always makes for good watching and game-play, but what about the other end of the spectrum. What if it all gets too much? When you run out of ammo, faith, motivation…and friends? When you realise that bullets just aren’t enough? Or maybe they are, but whats the point when you have lost everything? And it all gets too much and you just give up? This is the theme that formed the story of my entry titled : “BURNT OUT…”
