The Third Challenge!

Whatsup members? Here is the new challenge for the week. We're going to do a little switch-a-roo! Take a well known hero and villain pair; example being Batman and the Joker. You can look at comics, movies, fairy tales, cartoons, whatever you want. Now redesign each character in the other's role. Make the hero the villain and the villain the hero. When you send me your design, include a little info as to the new viewpoint of the story. See you guys in a week!

Hansel and Gretel: They've eaten they're parents out of house and home and are thrown out on the streets out of desperation. They wander through the woods until they come across an entire home made of candy and devour it, crushing the dreams of Olga the witch. To cover their crime, they throw her in the oven and claim it was in self-defense.

Olga was a woman with a simple dream: to make people love her. Outcast from a young age because of her skin color, she took up baking as a way to make people like her. She finally raised enough money to build her dream shop, made entirely of candy, when two obese children destroyed it and murdered her, knowing that the village people would be quick to blame her over them.

Challenge Two!

For this week, we have an environment! Chris would like to see a Prehistoric dino-bar. So we're creating a bar scene from the Stone Age. You can include characters in it or just go straight environment. Chris, if you want to comment on this and give some more details, feel free. Otherwise, looking forward to everybody's work at the end of the week!

Chris feels that carnivores get more attention than herbivores, so he decided to make a bar for herbivores called Veggies. Depicted here is Veggie, the owner/bartender, who was a professional bartender in his younger days...

I decided to create a bar named Jurrasik. Admittedly, I didn't get at as much time into this as I wanted to, but I really like the idea I came up with. Here are two underage dinosaurs trying to get past the bouncer, while another patron looks on. Given more time to develop this I think I could turn it into something better. I like the beginning ideas of the teen dinos though

First Challenge!

Alright everybody, here is the first challenge! If you've been following the news much, you'll know that Michael Bay is directing a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. The twist is that, in his story, the turtles are aliens from another world. Your challenge is to redesign the turtles as an alien species. You can do all four or just one. Have fun and looking forward to your emails at the end of the week!

This one comes from myself, Ryan. My idea was that the turtles are all refugees from a destroyed solar system (possibly destroyed by Shredder some how, eh? eh?) They were all from different planets though with different atmospheres. Raph comes from a deserty rock planet, hence the bulky look.

From Chris Dobbs, a cybernetic Chelonia; Robo Leonardo. He wanted to make that his "alien" ninja turtle looked more aline than turtle. So this version of Leonardo has a robotic suit with sword that retract from the wrists and has a more extraterrestrial feel to him while keeping the attributes of a turtle, like the shell on his back. He was inspired by the aliens in the movie Independence Day (which he watched the night before) and the Protoss from Starcraft when developing this design.
