Hmmm...

Modeling:
Spaceship cockpit or interior
Mech
Large space cannon weapons
Hand held weapon (rifle or pistol)
Car (muscle, concept, original)
Moonbase / Outpost

Best Texture, or scene composition.

How about a scene that has to built with items found at only this site?
There are some great meshes here that I've not seen in a scene - it could be cool.

Of course - there is also animations.

Just bouncin' ideas.
Hope some other people do too.

How about a war scene. Tribbles versus Pokemon? Most annoyingly cute wins?

Or, a true test of skill, making a teen pop star (Pick one) look intelligent and talented. But that is probably impossible, so no one would win.

That's the best I could do lol, Fretslayer posted all my ideas before I could lol.

It's the 40th anniversary of the moon landing in July so why not an open category celebrating our little lunar brother. 2D art work, 3D art work, an animation or a related mesh of some kind.

Yah, that lunar lander thing sounds pretty cool.

Just out of curiosity, do any of you guys happen to remember an old magazine by the name of 'Omni'? They used to have some of the most incredible scifi artwork in that mag.

If the contest is an image related one, how about recreating a shot from Omni?
Not that it has to be the exact same thing, but inspired by a piece of art from it.
I credit that magazine for my love of scifi related art.
It's a shame it was turned into a self parody the last year or two of it's run.
Somebody should do 'Omni 2.0'.

What about a new take on an old topic: rocketships! An update on the old days of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, and all those old space opera pulps without losing the qualities that made us love them in the past.

How about a front cover design for a scifi related comic book? You must remember those great Marvel designs of yester year. 2000 ad was a good one too.

I am going to restarting this contest. but we will make it for a new year 2010.. if its successful perhaps a monthly contest will follow...

the first one can be as suggested a Lunar Outpost idea with no limitations as to the era or the subject.

you can base it around a TV show or movie books ore your own imagination ..

you have the Christmas period to think about it . the last day for submitting your work will be the end of January 2010..

if you wish to take part post in this thread and I will add your name to the list.

this is open to all members new and old.
