Yeah I figured its file size. The prizes are most certainly ramped up compared to last year; the grand prize is estimated by them at 492$ US. Graphics card, charr plush, usual minipet, sound system.

Hm, alright well I guess I'll submit then. I won't be entering the Workshop though since it seems kind of late to throw my hat into the ring.
@Magik: Thank you <3

That one has gone viral Charlie – people keep sending me links in game to show me it ^^
Charlie Dayman
Probably because of Neo Nugget's tweet/blerb on the GW2 site. Let's hope someone on the Anet art team at least notices it!

Good luck Charlie! I showed your animation to my animation teacher/class and he loved it, he said, "Whoever created that short animation, is quite talented. They drew it, added sound and animation!" I told him yes, this individual is quite AWESOME!

Good luck, Charlie, though I don't think you'll need it.

Glad you guys like the sketches. Popping in here quick and then I need to run off again to work D:
Travel log assignment (block 1/4) for my illustration class: Aokigahara, Japan.
BRIEF HISTORY: Aokighara, also known as the Sea of Trees, is infamous for its association with mythological demons and its stunningly high suicide rate; 500 deaths since the 1950's. These mass deaths are said to have filled the forest with a dark energy, and imbued the trees with the angry spirits of the dead.
The forest itself is dense with trees that lay on top of rough volcanic rock. Overhead foliage is so thick that sunlight and wind are completely blocked out. Wildlife is surprisingly absent from the forest. Both the lack of wind and animal life makes the forest eerily still and devoid of life.
This drawing illustrates one of two major caves in the area, the Caves of Wind & Ice. Because it's the Cave of Wind and the forest's tie to mythology, I threw some colossal carvings of Fūjin, the wind god, on the walls.

Very nice Charlie! My only point of critique is that those statues looka bit boring. I think they would come a lot more to justice if you pumped up the contrast a bit, and perhaps add some blue light from whatever that blueish lightsource on the bottom is, casting on the statues. Just a suggestion
Charlie Dayman
Thanks for the feedback, Toms. Been forced to kind of put this project on cruise control since I've got so much other homework. Haven't been able to spend as much time with these as I would like. I'll probably go back and touch up the cave painting once I'm certain I've got the other two out of the way.
Funny thing, I actually had to push back the contrast on the carvings because it took away from the middle ground depth. The front walls felt like they were really jam packed up in there in the foreground.
Here's the second block I just finished:
This is the idea that those who died in the forest become attached to the trees as angry spirits.
P.S. I'm not sure what's up with DA's compression quality, but I can't seem to get a non-compressed version of the image past the uploader.

you were saying you had to do 4 of these, and on GWG2 I think you said you had to do flora/fauna, food, history, and other. Im assuming this is the flora one (what with the trees :|). So do we get history next?
But this one looks very nice. I think I like this one better. The first one felt a little empty with the colour, but this one seems much better for that. I also like the emotion in this one, its much more powerful. Its much easier to connect with the story of the location in this one.

I also like the forest a bit more - feels a bit more gestural and some stronger points of visual focus. I like the cave painting, though I think I gave too much attention to everything, rather than giving detail to pockets of focus. Anyways, glad you like it, Death
@Marsh: I lol'd. A friend of mine actually said it reminded him of my costume from the Halloween zombie walk down here in Long Beach. Pic below related - NSFW because of fake zombiegorygoodness:

Charlie, the tree picture is very creepy (though not as creepy as your photo). I love the colours and what you have done with the light. The trees feel a bit similar though.
I can see that coming up with an idea for food related to the area might be difficult, especially a ‘Wildlife is surprisingly absent from the forest’. I wonder if anything can be made from this....

By the way, if an entire dark forest full of hanged corpses wasn't bad enough, a few years ago some people noticed that a lot of the dead in Aokigahara probably had cash or jewelry on them. Thus began the proud Japanese tradition of Aokigahara Scavenging where people are running around the Death Forest, looking for dead guys to loot.
