Pin-up Challenge!

[PascalR]

Hi all,

So here it is , our first challenge!
Let's create cg pinups, 3d or 2d, the idea is to get a sense of vintage glamour, let's all put some sexy pixels together and most importantly let's have some fun!
Here is a great source of inspriation that Collings posted in the reference thread:
http://www.thepinupfiles.com/index.html

Our current deadline is 30th of June 2010.

Accepted Categories
3D : using any 3d packages
2D : using any painting applications
Any of the submitted works should represent a female, preferably full figure,
could be human, alien, cyborg (but not a robot).
Any pornographic/obscene contents will result in disqualification of the
contestants.
Image Resolution: The minimum image resolution should be 1000 pixels wide and/or 1368 pixels high. Obviously the higher the resolution the better, as it involves more work for detailing.

Our judges:

Peter Syomka : Senior/Lead modeller at Weta Digital

[IdanI]

hey I'm new here and thought this would be a nice way of joining a community. I have a few questions though....

1. when is the deadline?

2. does the model have to be a full figure or could it just be from the waist and up (just the upper torso, head, and arms)?

cheers,
Idan

I think we need at least 3 months to get high quality works.
I will update the first post soon with more details, I'd rather see full figure models but this is not mandatory at this point.

cheers
