Forge your warrior in the ultimate 3D sculpting and painting challenge.

Forge your warrior in the ultimate 3D sculpting and painting challenge.  Stretch your imagination and show off your creativity.  Warriors can be fantastic, futuristic, historical, ethnic or anything else you can dream up.  Is your warrior organic or mechanical, male, female or creature, low or high tech, cute or fierce, cartoony or hyper realistic?  The options are endless, the choice is yours, let the battle begin.  Artists of all skill levels from around the world are invited to join in the fun.  This is a great opportunity to have your work reviewed by some of the most talented artists & judges in the world, and you never know who might be watching your entry or where it might take you!

war · ri · or –noun
1. engaged or experienced in warfare; soldier.
2. shows or has shown great vigor, courage, or aggressiveness.

After you have a concept for the warrior you would like to create, you will need to bring your creation into 3D.  Use Mudbox to sculpt and detail your warrior’s mesh, and use Mudbox’s painting features to texture your character.

This is a sculpting and painting challenge with a focus on character, so an ideal submission would be posed, painted and rendered, ready to spring into battle.  Please do not submit flat shaded models in t-poses.
