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.
Modifiers are optional rules for the challenge that allow you to push your skills even further!
Join in the fun in #challenge-chat on the Dinusty Empire Discord
Finished work can go in #finished-work
Beetleship
From kingdom to kingdom, the beetleship parsimoniously drifts through a sea of clouds. The concept is intentionally chosen to not be overly detailed. Either focus on the important parts, or delve into the all the details by injecting your own ideas if you have the time.

High Kingdom
A beautifully stylised kingdom set high, high up. How will you treat the style of rendering to 3D? Or maybe you want to style it your own way?

Storm
Not all clouds convey peace and calm! Whether you have experience in VFX or not, this is a great little exercise. Here is a link to the breakdown if you’re just starting out with VFX and need a little help, just remember to not simply copy but make it your own after understanding the concepts! https://realtimevfx.com/t/spyro-sketch-12/4802
