Ratings and PointsEach entry will be self-rated as a PASS or FAIL. We'd like to emphasize that the Speed Art Challenge is to test your own skills as an artist. Points will be given based only upon being able to accomplish the goal of the challenge. You will be awarded for participating. CritiquesSince the goal of this challenge is to better yourself, as a participant of the challenge you are encouraged to critique and comment on the other entries.

Just to clarify, is the goal to create a usable game asset in 2 hrs? Or is usability not a factor?

@HanClinto This first contest is kind of free form to let people get a handle on the time frame. We'll add more restrictions on usability later.
@JeTSpice Thanks for catching that. I fixed it.

I came up with an idea for one just today(though I am not the one in charge of this contest). Maybe one could be done based on the scripture about the 4 beasts described in Jeremiah,Ezekiel, and Revelations. can't think of the exact verses at the moment but I would love to see what every one comes up with.

That would be cool, christo. I'd be curious to see what the others make, too. I'll look up some verses later today when I have some time. There was also a beast described in Daniel, wasn't there?

I haven't been seeing many of these challenges running. I think these kind of things will increase the vitality of these boards.
What would it take to get more of these running?

I think it is refering to a different set of beasts as the ones in the Ezekiel(found out I misremembered about Jerimiah) all four beasts had four faces. In the david reference only one of the beasts had four heads. But it is a very interesting reference. The scripture in Ezekiel I was refering to was Ezekiel 1 and Ezekiel 10. This next paragraph is kinda half on topic. Might be better placed in the faith talk section. I think Ezekial must have been in John's reading on the isle of Patmos. There is more than just the four beasts in that book that is practically the same. I am starting to think the Revelations was not a new revelation but rather John showing Christ in the prophesis of the Old Testament. I actually found out that the short title of the book in hebrew would have been "the revelation of Jesus Christ". We miss a lot with just the title "Revelations" and we miss some of the purpose of the book. here is a reference on this http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/IVP-NT/Rev/Title

What if we just set the topic as "Creature that only appears in the Bible" and leave the specific creature up to the artists?

Well, i have to say that on theological basis i would argue against that "Creature that appears only in the bible".
For in my theological view, if it appears in the bible, it can appear anywhere.
Akthough yeah, things in revelations are many times to my understanding interpretations of something foreseen. Ie. if they saw in revelation 7 headed cow, it doesnt necessarily mean there is 7 headed cow lurking somewhere, but it might represent council of 7 farmers.

Well, what I meant by "animal that only appears in the Bible" is something like "an animal described in the Bible that doesn't fit the description of any animal known to be alive today" but I was lazy and didn't want to type that
