Create something in snow! Let your imagination run wild and contribute to the Empire winter diorama.
Capture the winter mood, pick your interest and work towards something greater together. The assignments are up for you all to organize.
The scope is what you make of it. Do you imagine the trees swaying in the snowy wind, or the chill calmness of a winter’s night? Are there vestiges of people about, having enjoyed the sculpture garden?
Welcome to The Empire Monthly Challenge! You are all welcome to stretch your artist legs. Get out of your comfort zone or artist block, and unleash your full potential!
There are no winners or prizes, it's all about challenging yourself.
The Deadline is purely to indicate the start of the next challenge, if you need more time to finish up that's okay.
The challenge is 2 months long. Plan stages for those 2 months with your own deadlines to be able to achieve quite a lot.
Official Deadline is end of January.
Join in the fun in #challenge-chat on the Dinusty Empire Discord
Finished work can go in #finished-work and will be celebrated!
Main mood will be the following concept, but feel free to deviate and make it your own. See page bottom for a diorama approach.
CHRISTMAS TREE
We need a tree with lights, baubles, and ornaments.
SNOW CREATURES
Feel free to design the creatures yourself — let your imagination run wild!
ICE CREATURES
If there is time left, why not add ice sculptures? Will you be able to create a neat shader for them?
SNOW
We need a snow material for all the snow creatures that are made!
ICE
We would need a ice sculpture shader

When in doubt — downscope and keep the essentials
