The CG Universe [1] forum has announced its fifth digital matte painting challenge, Large vs. Small [2].
The task for contestants is to create a matte painting image that shows scale changes, whether it be distance variation -- that is, near the camera -- to things far away, or scale variation.


The judges for the completion include an all-star cast of digital artists working on some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters: Frederic St-Arnaud [3], David Burroughs Mattingly [4], Ronn Brown [5], Alp Altiner [6], Kent Matheson [7], Jaime Hernández Jasso [8], Lubos Gerardo Surzin [9], Jorik Dozy [10] and Rich Mahon [11].
3D Total is sponsoring the contest with subscriptions to 2D Artist Magazine :
1st Place: 12-month subscription
2nd Place: 6-month subscription
3rd Place: 3-month subscription
The deadline for entries is October 31, 2012 (11:59 PM - Pacific Standard Time).
