Intro:
Sorry for the delay getting this contest up. I recently caught up with and old friend I haven't seen for 7 years. It reminds me that I've been living life like a hermit. So many things have changed. Like can you believe they charge you to put air in your tire now? Ridiculous! 

 

                                                    Bryce Contest #57 

                                              Theme: Lonely Islands 

                                                                             

                                                                    

Description:  

imagine being lost, or incomplete. feeling trapped in the mechanisms of a mundane life. Looking into the endless void of seamless oceans, dancing across your horizon.  Cold winter nights, longing for the feeling of home, or company to keep you sane. A place with no radio, no tv, no internet. Just player, with a cd of Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone on the cover. Oh the humanity!

This is what this contest is all about. Spark up your creativity, and create your own coconut friend. Build a boat to help you pass the time. Or if your too lazy to leave your room, even use VR! It's quite a lonely island, and your imagination is the only limit.

    Great subject. Will be very difficult to beat our landscape-wizards in this case (as in all cases).

    Wilson Island.  This is a play on the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks.  The Wilson soccer ball was his only friend.  He thought that Wilson was gone but he actually started a family.

    Horo, that's a beautiful crystalline island.  I love deep orange and hunter green together.  Great job.

    thank you everyone for the warm comments.  You all made me smile too :)

    Noman Is An Island.  Noman has been by himself for so long that he has become an island.

    I couldn't help myself.  I thought of the adage 'no man is an island' and I just had to give it a try.  I used the Elemental and mountains from my signature image, adding a waterfall material to him.  Slight postwork in the water.

    I may rework this with a different sky.  The eyes look eerie with the island material reflecting in them.

    I'M REMOVING THIS FROM COMPETITION

    NGartplay - surprising idea and very well done entry.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    NGartplay : original idea, wonderful render, well chosen materials and sky.

  • NGartplayNGartplay Posts: 3,134

    Thank you mermaid, Horo and adbc.

    Horo and NGartplay..... both are beautiful, and these Ideas are very impressive. Very well done.

  • huberthubert Posts: 414

    NGartplay:
    - "Wilson Island": A cute little island. Wonderful concept and execution. Great water.
    - "Noman Island": Nice pun! :)  -- Another cool concept and great render. (Agreed about his eyes. I too find them somehow scary. At least much too dark.)

    Horo: A dreamlike island. Beautiful mat and coloring.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,707

    Thank you Yellow Pen and hubert.

  • NGartplayNGartplay Posts: 3,134

    Thank you Yellow Pen and hubert.  I think that his eyes will keep the Woodies at bay   :)

    NGartplay, fantastic two entries. Both are funny and very well made.

    Horo, great colours in this render.

    I made two versions of the same idea and find it very difficult to choose. I also made other renders with different skies, but these two should lead to one entry. Would be interested to hear your ideas about these two. Title would be 'shark island'.

    That's tough Hansmar.  I think that I like the top down POV better (#2) but not keen on the white shoreline.  It looks like a string.  I would zoom in a little closer (just a tad.)  If any of the sharks disappear from view move them back into the scene,  I love all the sharks.  You met the challenge perfectly.  A lonely island for sure.  For grins you could try putting a skeleton next to the boat :) :)

    edit:  I'm sure that everyone will disagree with me.  Looking at the first one again the sharks look good there.

    ed3D, thank you for trying the challenge.  Love seeing what you've created.  It has that ancient, alien mystique about it with the pyramid in it and the space vessel.
