It looks just like it should. So it's probably a no no for me to comment on it right?

Nothing's been stretched. All looks good from here!
...where the heck is Dream?
Loken, anyone can comment on it. It's not like the Bonne Mecha thing. It's decided only by the devs, so everyone can comment.

Ha sorry guys don't worry I'm still alive. Final renders will be posted tomorrow night, you have my word.
Oh I can also look into making an animated gif of a character turntable. It might be too small of a file size though to work.
I ended up seeing lord of the rings tonight, which is why you didn't hear from me lol.

Remember, we're only allowed one more image, and it has to be either a gif, a jpg, or a png. And this time Greg's actually reading through submissions and making sure they follow the guidelines. :17:

Yeah, I saw that. Are there dimension limits to the picture or is it just file size?

Just the file size, but anything over about 500 pixels wide will either stretch the reply field, or CU will squeeze it to fit (which happened with the Seeteufel pics).

I think that the turnaround png would be a great third image, if it fits under the file size limit.
If that is not possible what should the third image be?
A collection of pics of the model might looks good.

Another guy submitted an entry with an animated gif, but it wasn't modeled. He got eight frames before it started going over 300kb. That would cover the eight basic directions.

I hope you don't mind the critique but this line is really bugging me:
Barrett decides to show Grill to see if he can figure out exactly what "this little guy" is.
I know what you mean but I think it sounds better like: Barrett decides to show Grill his find (or something like that) to see if he can figure out exactly what "this little guy" is.
I think the word count can support this addition.
Also, It'd be nice to add some more comments (or maybe not IDK). Some possible ideas:
-Legends is a series of strong characters and while it was a challenge we believe we created a character that can stand up to this dynamic cast.
-We decided to make her a female to contrast with the all male mascot group.
-The fact that she is mistaken as a male was used for comedic effect, a Legends staple.
-any other tidbits you guys can think of about our creative process
Showing that we put some (legends centric) thought into it might impress the dev team.

Good thinking, tominator. "Barrett decides to show Grill his find to see if he can figure out what "this little guy" is" will keep it under the word count limit.
Ave, could you tweak that?

Ok, here you go. I have 2 versions, but I like the second picture better (shows 2 views instead of 1). Sorta ran out of time, and I apologize for that. The quality suffered and it's really my fault for not working on it later Monday night... I suggest you download it and save it, and then rehost it, Dashe. My internet is down and I had to walk to the hotel business center to post this :S. Well, here's what I got. It has been a fun time working on it! If there's any more projects that I can help on, I certainly hope to do some more work. I'll check the forums tomorrow morning (unless my 3G connection decides to crap out on me) and make sure everything's cool before I head to work. imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/rivet3d.jpg/imageshack.us/photo/my-images/143/rivet3d2.jpg/Edit: ok posting from the iPad now. The animated gif would have sucked, it really crunches the color space. I think the second picture I posted shows off the model well enough, and more importantly shows the dev team that such a model is possible. I mean it's one thing to see a concept drawing but it's another thing to see that it has been developed into a model with textures shaders, etc. I think that it'll give our post uniqueness and a competitive edge. Also, It'd be nice to add some more comments (or maybe not IDK). How about that Dream is looking for a job that pays

Sorry for being nitpicky, but is there any way to get it on a white background? That'd show up a lot more nicely on Unity. Otherwise, it looks AMAZING!

Sorry, I'm unable to actually change the image anymore... I'm so sorry. Im litrally writing this from bed, i had a very late work day today and a pretty early one tomorrow. If you take it into photoshop you could probably get rid of the black and replace it with white.
That being said I think the glow from the flames and the face show up better on black. I do see what you mean though, it would give the image the appearance of being transparent. Maybe you could expand the canvas size by like 5 pixels and put a colored border like yellow or blue around it if you think a little framing would look nicer.
