We here at DCC love seeing your images come through too our galleries and have been really impressed with some of the ideas that you have all come up with for our theme based competitions. This has lead to some situations where picking a final winner has been really hard and heart breaking as it is often never an easy choice to choose just one entry.

We also understand that it can sometimes be very frustrating to find out you have not won a competition after putting in a lot of hard work to your contest entries, especially on a short run competition. For this reason I got thinking about how we could offer you ALL the chance to win a G.C. in a none time constrained, none competition based challenge and so with great pleasure I present to you, our wonderful group members the 'Journey of a Lifetime' creative challenge.

So what is 'Journey of a Lifetime' and how is it going to work?

We want 10 renders of a brand new Original Character created by yourself that covers 10 events during your characters lifetime(listed bellow). You character can be anything you want, from a an axe wielding barbarian, a sci fi bounty hunter, or even just a modern day business man who is stressed with his job and the fact he does not get to spend enough time with his family. The possibilities are almost limitless!

Once you have your character down, we want you to give them a bit of a back story to create interest and also give you a chance to get creative with your words as well as your images by adding in a paragraph or two about what has lead to the moment you have rendered. This will give you the chance to develop your character in more than just a visual image, meaning you can add a history, motivations, fears and passions to your character which add colour to their world and help them become more believable.

We want you to create these ten images and your O.C. in a way that you will be proud of. A series of images that cover a single characters whole lifetime in a way that they can sit happily next to each other in your gallery and give you a sense of achievement for all of your work as well as getting yourself a $10 G.C. for your hard work.

Please bare in mind that consistency is going to be important here, so if you were to create a logo for you character, it will need to be the same across all of your images. You might want include a theme that runs through all ten pieces and texts that accompany them.

Do you and your character have what it takes to see it through to the end? Remember, there is no time limit, and as long as you complete all ten renders you are guaranteed a $10 G.C. for your effort! The only constraint is that only 2 G.C.s for this event will be given each month, and will be handed out in the order the people complete the challenge. We now have over 100 members in the group, so there is a potential $1000 worth of prizes to be given away by myself, from my own pocket!

If this event is popular and people enjoy completing the list, I already have ideas on how this can be expanded with new important life moments, and even spin off comps that will bring new ideas and new styles to your work as well as more none time based, none competition based chances to win more G.C.'s. So why not start planning your O.C. now, take a look at the list and find your characters path on their journey of a life time.

Now get busy with the fizzy, and make me regret giving you all the chance to win some prizes in this way! If I have to give every member a G.C. for completing this task, I will do so. They are there for the taking and all you have to do is put in the work to earn yourself one! If you need anything clearing up or have any comments or questions then please post bellow ;)
