Contest Brief

This contest is for an upcoming video game. We are looking for some concept art. The game will have a fantasy theme similar to The Lord of the Rings. These images will be some of the races that will be in the game. Initially we will need one of three images. Choose one, or submit entries for all three. Three separate entries will be selected, one for each of the following:

1) An evil forest elf leading one or more human slaves. clothing or armor should have some shades of green in it. Use a woodland setting or no setting at all.

2) A goblin paladin bearing sword and shield and clad in heavy armor, female prefered, slightly hairy, somewhat sexy, fierce, justice. Incorporate one or more shades of purple.

3) A nomadic Giant (30-60 feet in height) if wearing armor or clothing use large items fashioned into such. Boat hulls, trees etc. Mountains in background and normal size creatures or trees, something to show its enormous size.

Any medium is fine, be it digital, sketch, paint etc. Add lots of detail or not, any style is fine, Be creative, we just want good art. Attached are a few images for reference. You dont have to copy, they are just ideas for reference. Image of giant is for scale reference, he should be somewhat human shaped/looking.
I will be highly available during the contest so I encourage questions and will answer promptly.
Your art will be used on the website and you will be credited.

If we really like a certain style there is potential for other contract work.

Good luck and have fun.

    I want to thank everyone for all the excellent submissions! We have narrowed it down to these remaining entries, it will be a difficult decision as they are all very good, especially the goblins. For those of you that were rejected, I really appreciate your attempts but they just weren't the styles we were going for. However, I will be running several more of these contests in the next 30 days or so and I hope everyone will participate and then some. Some of the other concepts we need are humans, dwarves and various creatures. In fact, I may host a "come up with a unique creature" contest. I am hosting another simpler contest here if your interested: https://www.freelancer.com/contest/Color-this-drawing-97618.html. Again, thank you all good luck in all your freelancing endeavors!

    I couldn't partecipate for a matter of seconds can't believe... I will try to post here my entry just to make you see. I did a sketch really fast just to try to partecipate. I have other sketches if interested and I may add color / features aswell. I'm interested into becoming a concept artist so please give me a change on this!

      Forgot to mention: It's a druid elf during his tree transformation. I'm used to think that elves can transform and become part of the nature themself. Hope you enjoy it!

    Guys, for the goblin paladin, armor like this would be perfect. http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/091/a/6/paladin_girl_crop_by_atma33-d4ul4rl.png

    The giant is in massive plains surrounded by volcanoes. He is the protector of the area, neither good nor evil. He is ancient in age and 60 to 100 feet tall. Be realistic in what he has. Example: He wouldn't have a huge shield or something, he would use large objects for various purposes.A tree for a club is the obvious thing, but I want to see more unique ideas in this part. Think about what a giant would create for himself from things. Any other questions let me know.

    For additional clarification, these don't HAVE to be in color. Good sketches will also be considered. In fact any medium is fine. Thanks for all the great submissions!

    Hi aacewin, I have a little question: the Nomadic giant is the bad or the good person? I need to know about his personality to make the correct concept. Thank you

      Youre absolutely right! They are the oldest race on the planet and protect it in a way. I would say they are good in general but do not tolerate anyone in their territory. They will be kind of a mystery.

    just a concept from any angle will do. Thanks!

    Hello! I have a few questions, Do You want a concept or an illustration? (Concepts usually do not have background). Do You want it to be designed from all sides to be easier to sculpt for 3d modeller? Kind regards, Marzena

    Wow I didn't expect such negativity. Why comment if your not interested? I'm not asking for the Mona Lisa here, the keyword is "concept" art.

    This looks like a lot of fun, but $10 is unrealistic. I will draw you something awesome if the $$ is increased, otherwise, good luck with your project!

    attachments added. Prize for now is 10USD. If we are really impressed I am willing to negotiate. Also if there aren't enough entries at that price point I will consider raising it. -thanks
