Hey everyone! So here is the deal:
I was a 3d artist for a small indie game development team. we were working on trying to publish a 3d FPS scifi game (Project RECONDITE) but after 3 years of work we decided to discontinue work because we A. didn't have the resources to finish and B. didn't have the skill to finish . We never really had any concept artists, we just drew up crude, rough sketches of everything and actually had a complex universe created (just not a very pretty one haha). So, seeing that that's not going anywhere I thought I would post some of the rough sketches on here and see some ACTUAL artists re-imagined versions of them. Anything you post WILL NOT be used for any purpose than the entertainment of you and I (unless I get permission but I really doubt I will need to because ,as I said, the project is dead). What the hell, why not make it a contest! Whoever draws the most impressive re-imagining of one of these sketches will win. The prize list is below.I may randomly post random facts about the game (or a link to the screenplay...but maybe not..)Feel free to ask about it! Dont feel restricted to the references- make it your own! I want to see some good come out of those years of work.
No limit to the number of entries and I want this to be more about fun than winning. Feel free to donate more prizes.

Prizes:

First place:
Your choice of the chronicles of Narnia (Xbox), GTA Vice City (xbox) or the Simpsons game (ps2) and a free 3d giant mutant crab model ($10 on turbosquid)


Second Place:
choice of one of the two games the first place winner didn't choose, 3d model of a dragon head



Third Place:
The remaining game
So here's some of the drawings, (I may add to this list at any time because ,trust me, we had hundreds)

NOTE: The two guns on the sides are on a swivel and the two "wings" are actually half-cylinder cargo bays that can hold troops or weaponry to be deployed to the battlefield.

NOTE: the tiny pod is the BACK, the metallic green patch on the opposite side is a cockpit. The pod in the back is tethered to the ship by the stream of green plasmic argon that comes out of the main body to propel the ship.

Note: It looks too intelligent and not vicious enough for my taste.It needs more shoulder,knee and elbow spikes. Hint hint. Nudge nudge.
Have fun and let me know who all is entering!
