the contest results were, I have to say, VERY dissapointing. Looks like I will be back to doing it all myself. Too bad, from what I saw of the Nival contest I expected something better. I'll be putting up a news update on what the plans are for ToH before Homm5 comes out.
I still predict a late May or early June release, so I'm timing ToH's modifications/closure with that schedule.

Hi Ves,

This is a serious request for advice. I considered entering this contest but I am still stuck at the stage where I draw something with pencils and acrylics and then scan it. My question is how do the "pros" do it? I mean what kind of tools do they use when they make it look "video-gamey". And what software? (and how much $$ also)
As far as taking the next step I'm totally clueless.

actually if it is scanned, and does not look 'videogamer-ish', the rest is done in photoshop or a similar program. As long as the scan is in relatively high resolution, the rest I can modify. But again, it looks like I will take it upon myself to do the image, like in the past.
Since I'm not going to work on the images until I get wind of Homm5 going gold, there is still lots of time for submitting potential images for use.

That is obviously Luis Royo's art.
I understood wanderer was supposed to upload his own work?
Ves, I strongly suggest you either:
1) contact Nival and ask for the permission to use their submissions, even for a fee
2) contact some of the promising fantasy artists on the web - I am sure most of them would gladly accept 500$
3) use the original concept art for Heroes 5

Vlaad: I will probably use the original concept art for homm5 in a mix like most of my image maps for ToH. Unfortunately with Nival its not so easy to 'adopt' their artwork without annoying contracts and paperwork.
