Challenge Dynamics
You're the Creator, but we're at your side
During the challenge week, we're with you!

To help you move along and get the steps right, we will deliver daily tips and tricks on character design, ZBrush and best practices.

Our goal is to help you improve while you're working on this Challenge.

Treat it as your roadmap!
But...what are the rules?!
— ZBrush is the main software of creation.

— Be original! What is the hero super power? What makes him unique? Do not create any existing superhero, make sure is original and get your own style!

— Only one entry and one image per participant

— You can render or display the character in any software of your choice.

— Your final submission can be in clay, but we encourage you to submit a fully textured and posed character to get better chances to win.

— You can paint over or manipulate your work in 2D, but make sure it's not more than 10% of the image.

— The artwork should be in 3D. 2D is only allowed in elements of expression of the image
