Epic Pumpkin Contest – Discussion

@wesburke I love the second one, has a really creepy look in his eyes! Thanks for the inspiration these are awesome 😬

[Aaron Rudderham]

@wesburke There was me thinking I actually had a shot at winning, but DAMN. In all seriousness though those are utterly fantastic, especially the last two. Hits me right in the motivation.

@thecabbagedetective ya somehow I understand that feeling trough I had it from the start. I already had a feeling the difference would be high xd but still I want to show what I learned in these 2 classes 

[smurfmier1985]

@yukinoh1989 I’m joining just because it’s fun!! And extra practice never hurts 😉

@thecabbagedetective is it your birthday or something? Your Pokémon avatar has party hats on, it didn’t before I think..? But maybe I’m wrong 😅

@smurfmier1985 same goes for me winning is always fun but this is a great chance to show what I learned in these 3 months. By the end of the contest I should know even more about shading and rendering. 

And indeed I noticed the party hat too

@smurfmier1985 Ayy someone noticed, yes it is indeed lol. Decided to flex my God tier Photoshop skills in the process.

@thecabbagedetective Happy birthday! 

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 Yeah it’s today, my 20th. I’ll certainly do my best but the call to Blender is never ending lol, but ta very much! I’ll have a look at your progress when today’s class is over.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@chrismckay Why thank you!

[yukino hatake]

@thecabbagedetective awesome to hear that . congratz with youre 20th birthday .
indeed i also have a problem putting blender aside for a moment. that is why i decided to get back the book i got from my grandfather that sadly almost passed away for one year and gonna read that again since i never finished it . that way i might also give my brain some slight rest 🙂

question is it a must to have it scary or is it also allowed to make a pumpkin cute or weird etc ?

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 Taken from the competition description:

“And while scary is our key theme, the interpretation is up to you: funny-creepy (like clowns, or the Kardashians), pop-culture inspired spooky (most music videos by Grimes), or straight up terrifying (again, the Kardashians).”

So I’d say cute or weird is fine providing it still has spooky undertones, like for example a focus on a small, happy, cutesy Jack o’ Lantern with a bunch of large, scary Jack o’ Lanterns staring at it in contempt. something like that.

Also my bad for not getting around to having a look at your WIP, I’ll get on that now.

[yukino hatake]

@thecabbagedetective ok 🙂 well the original concept would been perfect for creepy scary but that would not yet be possible for me . that is why i wonder if there is only like one scary pumpkin it would be enough . i also didnt get this part (kardashians) and pop culture inspired spooky . i not sure know what that is or means . 

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 To my understanding it was mostly a joke – the Kardashians part at least – but by pop culture inspired spooky I’d imagine they mean scenes inspired by myths and spooky stories.
