MindzleContests!
Every month Gnomon Workshop puts on a contest where they give away several thousand dollars worth of their training DVD’s. My Catacombs painting won said contest in February of 2008, since then I have not entered. Not that I would enjoy entering again, I just rarely have the time to finish a painting to that level of polish in any given month. Well this month I am going to try and get an entry submitted. The topic this month is Gothic Beauty and I have just over a week, in which I am REALLY busy with work projects. As if that isn’t enough I am also going to enter the CG Challenge at CGSociety.org Challenge 24 “Secret Agent”. This challenge I have a VERY low chance of winning, but the prizes are very impressive, the competition is top notch, their is a reasonable amount of time and I have a great idea for my image.
For me the competitions are fun, because I am a competitive person and like to see how I stack up against the best people in the world. In addition the exposure never hurts, heck the judges even looking at my image is great, and who knows maybe I’ll create an image that just blows everyone away.
Because these images will take up all of my free time, which isn’t going to leave much time for daily sketches or other projects that would normally get posted here, I am going to do something I never thought I’d do. I am going to put my daily progress for the contest up here for your review and hopefully for comments that will help me improve the images. I will also try to explain what I am doing in each step so that you can follow my personal process. So you help me make a better image by giving feedback, and I’ll show you how a master painter works (Just kidding, I am no master… hold back the laughter!)

That's where a lot of beauties come undone.
Good luck, my good man.
I'll be doing my best to pose a few curly ones to ya. Curly ones are frowned upon in the swimwear section.
