Portfolio 1 – Michael Dashow
Wage Slave
Every few months, the wonderful web site CGTalk holds a large Challenge, an art contest open to computer artists worldwide. There are two categories – 2D and 3D – and a theme, and artist are invited to not only come up with a great image for the theme but to also post their progress every step of the way. So we post our work and everyone comments on it and gives us advice, hopefully strengthening the art along the way. It truly is a multinational effort, with illustrators from literally all over the world, as well as skill-lvels across the board, too. The mid-2005 Challenge had the theme of ‘Master and Servant,’ and attracted entires including overtly dominant/submissive images, pieces about substance addiction, as well as genies, Frankenstein monsters, robots, and more sexy women with giant beasts than you can shake a stick at. I opted for a workplace theme, which many could relate to. However, I intermingled it with a bunch of H.P. Lovecraft overtones. This is the result, which was awarded an Honourable Mention in the contest.
