Hey, as an answer to those who've asked what i've been doing and why the hell i've not been touching my AW, here's the simple answer.

My entry is under the username Chaoticefx btw. I'm not posting it directly here because they say its meant to be "never seen before", so i'll not take the risk. There's going to be an opinion poll first, then the judges will look at the pieces. The top pieces from those 2 judging stages will get the respective prizes.

My work was done over a period of about... 15 hours over 4 days I think. Completely done in Photoshop with a few reference images taken from Crysis and off the internet. Process mainly consisted of blocking out and then colouring in the highlights. I went back and changed quite a bit of the original "final" image, but I'm still not really satisfied. Its one of those things where you have this awesome image in your head that seems perfect, but you can translate out onto the screen.

Not too confident, because there's quite a few better pieces (technically) that have been submitted. But I did learn a little doing it, and more than that I've decided that 3d is where my work really belongs tongue.gif so there's more of that coming wink.gif

and just so you know, the concept is for a mod I have in my head called Tides of War. Crysis seems like a perfect plaform for it - water, sky, sun, fog everything needed for the environment is there.
