Fanswag: Gears of War Modeling Book Contest

We've been bitten by the contest bug and feel the need to offer up three copies of Ballistic Publishing's d'artiste: Character Modeling 2 hardcover books, which feature Gears of War modeler to the stars Kevin Lanning. We've mentioned this amazing modeling book before, because it features Lanning's Gears artwork, wire-frames, renders and actually shows how the pros go about making these high-poly wonders. It's quite the nifty modeling book indeed. So, now that you know what we're giving away, let's get to the details.

In the spirit of the creative genius that went into these character models, we're going to ask you to come up with your own character design. Specifically, we want you to create a new species of Locust from Gears of War. You can use any medium you like, be it Photoshop, clay, or a toothpick sculpture. As long as you can submit an image of it (JPEG, 415 pixels wide or more, less than 1MB), it's fine by us.

Once you've read the rules, click here to access the official release form. Once you agree to the terms, you can submit your entry to the email address provided. The contest runs until 2:00PM EDT, July 2, 2007, so there's plenty of time to make something that really stands out. The top three submissions will receive a copy of d'artiste: Character Modeling 2. Get to creating and good luck!
