Hey folks, it's your friendly neighborhood Ninja speaking.

I've been asked to present you 3D folks with a challenge for the month of October but because I'm a little slow, it'll run until Saturday, November 10th.

So, what's the contest about?

Before I answer that question, I want to explain why it's called 'SUDDENLY...!'

I'd think it's safe to say that the majority of us are comic book fans. We love sequential art and cinematic storytelling. I've seen some of the great 3D comics that have been posted here and I'd love to see this contest get folks into making more of them and posting them here.

Your entry must follow these guidelines:

1. It is a ONE page piece of work with MULTIPLE panels on said page. No multiple postings of individual pieces of art. I want to see how you layout a comic book page.

2. The main thrust of this page is to reveal a turning point of a story or a crucial plot point that is pivotal to the story. You don't have to explain the whole story in the art but you may wish to include it with your comments when you post it.

3. You MUST have all 3 of these items appear in your panels.
A. A time piece. (eg. Hourglass, sun dial, Rolex)
B. Water (eg. Ocean, glass of water, beads of sweat, ice)
C. An animal (eg. Kola Bear, Dinosaur, horse) INSECTS DO NOT COUNT

These items don't have to appear on the same panels, unless that is how you want to work it. (eg. If you do a 9 panel layout, you could have the water on panel 2, the time piece on panel 6 and the animal on panel 9.)

What's in it for you?

First prize is a $30 gift certificate to DAZ3D and Gold Membership. Second prize is a Gold Membership.

How are the winners determined?

By a panel of 3 judges. BioHaz Daddy, Jr. McDeath and I will determine who the winners are and they will be posted Monday, November 12th.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me here at Heromorph.

Good luck and good posting!

JB,

Thanks for your questions!

There is no program limitiations. I just needs to be 3D. You can do ANY postwork you need to with ANY program. Max resolution, that's up to you but keep in mind the usual submission guidelines for the site.

Please, post the image in the 3D section and begin your image title with SUDDENLY..

Thanks again,

Tartanninja

Cool contest.

I got word that Masterchief is interested in this one. While a $30 DAZ3D gift certificate might not seem like much, it will definitely help pay for that cool thing that you really need for your library.

I hope to hear more from you 3D folks!

The Gold Membership alone is worth it.

I have no clue about Gold membership, but the $30 certificate from Daz is good. I am slower than Christmas, but I'll give it a go. Now..... a story to tell...

Sounds good to me. Are we judged on overall 3D imagery and presentation or is this a storytelling and layout contest? I only ask because while I have no fear of challenge on any level of artwork I do realize that there are so many others who far excel my ability to present 3D images. I would just like an understanding of what areas I should strive for more than others.

It's the whole package. All I ask is for you to try your best. I'd say, play to your strengths.

Okay, I'm in. I have been experimenting with comic style stuff in prelude to my much belated webcomic project. So you have my attention.

OOOOOOOOOOO...This sounds like fun! Count me in too.
(any excuse to read my old xmen comics and call it research. lol )

I see that StarChild has posted his entry. I can't wait to see more!

Time is running out! Only 10 more days to get your entry in and win FABULOUS PRIZES!

Today is the last day to enter your "SUDDENLY" pic. So any of you folks waiting till the last minute... this is it!
