Welcome to the Nemesis Art Challenge!
Welcome to the Nemesis Art Challenge!
Over the next 4 weeks we will be putting our creative abilities to the test against our fellow artists in a challenge of wits and artistic skill. This exercise focuses not only on creative ability and execution, but on an artist's skill in discerning direction from very limited sources (something every professional artist has been faced with at one time or another).
The rules are simple: Artists are randomly paired then, independently from one another and in secret, create a protagonist for a newly invented IP. At the end of this 2 week period each hands over their creation, including whatever supporting materials and sketches they have, to their partner. The protagonist images are posted in pairs with links to your partner's work.
During the following 2 weeks each artist has to create an arch nemesis for their partner’s protagonist using only those supporting materials as direction. We want the final boss here, the character that makes our protagonist’s hair stand on end, the antithesis to everything he stands for. This isn’t the mid boss! This is the final stage. The climactic showdown. The battle for life and death. All images will then be posted together in their matching pairs and you, the viewers, get to decide which combatant will prevail!
We are starting this challenge small with just 4 artists (2 pairs) to work out the kinks before inviting a larger group of creators to test their skills in this arena.
Round one consists of:
