Hi Everyone, This contest is for: I need an artist to draw or edit over this generated concept piece by hand. A dark and realistic style is best, but I'm open to possibilities. Feel free to add better details, shading, or experiment with it a bit. The main goal is to get rid of the "generated" feel and make this a real piece of dark art Base prize: $25 The prize has a chance to increase if there are standout submissions IMPORTANT: Please keep the dimensions of the snake the same. It can go a bit out of bounds for texture or small details, but it needs to be close to an exact overlay. Do not use AI or image generation for this job. Contest is open until Saturday night Sept 6th at midnight Winner must send finished work with source file or high resolution transparent .png. Good luck everyone and looking forward to your work!
This is a work in progress. Hope you like it. Thanks! https://ik.imagekit.io/MikeRon/Snake_Trace.jpg?updatedAt=1757003808298
Nice illustration! Very cool stuff so far. If anyone is good with textures/masking, it would also be interesting to see something with a dark snake skin texture and some shading. Reminder that the dimensions of the snake need to be the same as the original as well.
Here is a revision with a closer skin texture. Thanks! https://ik.imagekit.io/MikeRon/Snake_Trace3.jpg?updatedAt=1757101538903
Thanks guys. https://ik.imagekit.io/MikeRon/Snake_Trace2.jpg?updatedAt=1757019664560 MikeRon, is there any chance you could edit the version from Thursday so that the snake lines up pretty much exactly with the outline of the original that I posted? I ask because it would be a replacement and it needs to be very close to the same shape.
Congratulations to MikeRon for his illustration! (Please send me a PM and we can sort out the details) I know this contest was a small prize and a little bit out of the ordinary, but thanks anyway to those who participated!
