CC 1 : GoT Game? Finals - Amit Dutta - 03-10-2016
Greetings Initiates!
For our very first challenge we have the idea of renewal at the forefront our minds. Just as we are re-imagining the Bloodsport challenge in our own way, we want you to come up with an illustration that redesigns a character or environment from the Game of Thrones world!
Guest Judge: ALEX NEGREA!
We are so stoked to get Alex on board for our first judging session. He won the very first Bloodsport and more than one as well, so it’s great to have him offer up his time very generously and give back to the community.

Brief: Create an illustration depicting a character from one of the main Houses of Westeros in his or her home environment.
Illustration guidelines:
Your illustration can be focused mainly on the character. Emphasis is on the character design and illustration. No plain-background concept work please. We’d like to see some indication of an environment, even better if it relates to the character in an interesting way.
Or
You can focus more on the environment design, but character/s mustbe included. They needn’t be heavily detailed and they shouldn’t be the primary focus of the piece but we want to see some thought has gone into them.
Design guidelines:
For your design you can choose from these 3 options:
- Create your design for a brand new House of Westeros,“House Negrea”. This is a house known for their hard working ethos and connection to nature. The sigil of the house is a beetle. The house motto is “Spring is coming”. Keep your designs within the existing genre and era of GoT. Convince us House Negrea is real!
- Create a redesign based on an existing House and its characters in the GoT world, but inspired by any culture or combination of cultures, that is not medieval Europe.
- Create a redesign based on an existing House and its characters in the world, but change up the genre and/or era as much as you like. Far-future, steampunk, present day. You can go wild on this one. Be inventive!

Notes
ALL Styles and techniques are welcomed, including traditional work. We are focused on the final product and your work ethic, not your tools.
Good research and a lot of testing of ideas is important. Don’t skimp on the groundwork.
We will be looking for great design work and a great work ethic, first and foremost. Of course we will take into account execution and polish, but an inspired idea, fairly executed can often trump a technically brilliant but very generic idea. The idea is important!

It was extremely fun, challenging and pushing! If not Crucible, I would still be making studies and sketches thinking I'm not ready to paint an illustration yet. Thanks to everyone who posted in my WIPs thread, especially Amit and Piotr, I wouldn't have done it without your support!

Very appreciative to the masterminds behind this grueling tournament we now know as The Crimson Crucible
I've never wanted to kick my ass as hard before. This 1 v 1 was tough, not gonna lie. I couldn't have done it without all you beautiful gumdrops helping me out in my WIP thread:

Went Taiwan for a week just got back to Hongkong today, honestly feeling lazy and want to give up, then I saw people actually liked my idea so atleast I'd like to get the idea out.
(background not mine is from my ref bladerunner.)
RE: Crimson Crucible 1 : GoT Game? Finals - Jan Kloidt - 03-27-2016
Done! It's called "The Iron Throne". The Khaleesi and her "dragon" on the iron throne set in the Mad Max world.
All my studies were mainly done to practice color because that was my greatest weakness before I went into this, so the topics seem a bit random except for the movie frame study. the yellow girl was also story practice, was trying to come up with an image with totally different content but still really similar to the image for this contest (strong, imposing girl with a dangerous pet :D)
congrats on making it through this one, everyone!

This little image broke me mentally several times.
It was torture, it was fun,
thank you guys for the run.
RE: Crimson Crucible 1 : GoT Game? Finals - John - 03-27-2016
There are so much input from everyone that I felt the final output would be a lot worse if it was only me hacking away. Totally hated what I had during the early stages.
I am super grateful for all the comments and suggestions that came my way. All of which steered towards what I have now. I just hope I interpreted their directions well and did right by them.
