The Challenge

In keeping with this year’s conference theme, we proudly introduce the SINS vs. VIRTUES CHARACTER DESIGN CHALLENGE. You are invited to design a character depicting either a sin or virtue.

Choose from the following:

SINS (Charcter facing right): Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, & Sloth

VIRTUES (Character facing left): Prudence, Justice, Temperance, or Fortitude

Feel free to do your own research and expand your options.

GUIDELINES

  • The character needs to strike a fighting pose (3/4 or side view)
  • Place your character on a plain white background
  • Characters maybe either 2D drawings or 3D renderings
  • The character should be an original design – do not depict characters from properties you do not have copyright for
  • Running, floating, or flying poses are also encouraged
  • Yes, characters may use props (swords, magic wands, etc.)
  • The character can be anything you want (demons, angels, zombies, dinosaurs, superheroes, robots, aliens, vikings, koalas, politicians, monsters, ANYTHING!)

Challenge organizers reserve the right to edit out any entries they deem to be inappropriate… so keep it clean, folks!
