CD 010 : Aves!

DEADLINE: December 7th, 2006

Yay, tenth challenge already. Hopefully we won't run out of ideas and will be able to do ten or twenty more. Keep adding to the suggestion thread here (http://www.animationforum.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1236).

You have to design a crazy ornithologist, who wears a bird-costume. He or she always carries along a pair of binoculars, too.
Final entry can be in the form of a painting, sketch and collage - your choice. You can get quite creative on this one...

The three winners of the ninth Character Design challenge are...

1st place
KOTK!
You will be awarded with two bronze talent points. http://www.animationforum.net/forum/images/awards/bronze.gif http://www.animationforum.net/forum/images/awards/bronze.gif

2nd place
ElusiveMoose and Terro!
Moose, you will be awarded with one bronze talent point.

Since Terro is an admin, he can't accept talent points. I'll make an exception though since it doesn't matter that much in the long run and one point will be added to his log.

Congratulations, KOTK and Elusive_Moose and Terro.

Congrats, KOTK and Terro! I really liked all the drawings. Very inspiring.

This one sounds fun, too. But, I need to take some time to work on the Dance Challenge...:(

Even though I'm one of the admins , I still have to follow the standard rules to win Talents. This is a big deal for me. Thank you.
To be honest, I think it's unfair for an admin/mod to win in any of the comps. I think they should only participate to encourage others to join in.

True, I couldn't award myself a talent anyways, lol. Admins can't be awarded, but I still love the practice.

I think I shall name him...Polly...

This was my first attempt at a digital painting; done in Photoshop. It was a lot of fun, but I'm still not thrilled with many parts of it.

Lots to learn... lots to learn...
