[Art Job] SteamPunk ART!!! - seeking co-lab


Yes, as you can read on the headline this is not just design event, I am seeking to find someone to work with me on the art for card game that I have invented, and preparing for presentation with my friend Snake, to show it to some game company.

I would also like to find some coders that know some program language that can make games to work in web browser. It is a 2D multiplayer card game which will be free-to-play, with the option to buy cards, advance through levels and stuff like that. Since the idea is totally original I won't share any more info about it then it's needed. If you can code contact me on [email protected]

Now back to the event part:

OBJECTIVE OF THE EVENT

Read what is needed to draw and submit your work. Event will last for 3 weeks from today.
Draw all 3 images described below, but only one of those 3 should be finished work (inked, colored, painted). For that image do your best. It must be drawn on 1000x1300 pixels digital canvas in 300 dpi resolution , and then re-sized to 380x494 pixels keeping the same 300 dpi rez.

Use this image that I have posted as some kind of a basis of the quality I seek. But don't concern yourself with the style of drawing. As a matter of fact, I need some different style of art to have some diversity in card deck.
The setting is STEAMPUNK, so adopt to that. If you don't know what the SteamPunk is, go Google.



WHAT YOU NEED TO DRAW:

1. Siege machine called Steam-powered Ballista. Make it bulky, like a WW I tank, with tank track or some kind of metal wheels, with Victorian age decorations, and steam engine. Use imagination.

2. Some kind of a defensive machine called Magnetic Barrier. Imagine what kind of a device that would be, and how would it look.

3. Big steampunk robot called Guard-o-tron R100. It should have large armor plates on body, rivets, lots of gears and stuff like that. Mechanical nightmare of the Victorian age. Use imagination.



One of this images must be finished art like the image I provided. Rest of them must be sketches. I want to see your painting skill and how good your imagination is. Good luck.

PRIZES:

First Place: Full Beetle
Second Place: Shaman Force
Third Place: Hot Pink Relax


If I find someone who can do this I'll contact him after the event, in the mean time have fun doing some art.
If you have some questions, ask.

Got kinda wierd. think I need to re-think my strategy for this low resolutions, too much fat strokes and bright light and not enough color differences. Well... on to drawing number two.

That's not steampunk, that's a future tank with a cockpit :|
Jalis: Freelancer, you're a duck | Sachi: Freelancer, you're a duck | Reanimator: Freelancer, you're a duck
satiknee: Freelancer, you're a duck | Wiggi: Freelancer, you're a duck | Tarlan: Freelancer, you're a duck
To tell the truth, I would like style to be closer to this: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=158322

I myself, will go to that direction, but not so much cartoony when the human characters are presented. Something in between cartoony and serious.
Ezeth, can you try like that? It can be just a sketch, don't bother with painted piece right away, since you can do it later.
Lots of time to work on it.
Speed painting for background would be ok, but not for the machine/character in the foreground. Cards are small, so the main thing on it is that what is shown in the foreground.
If its a mechanical dragon then:

-clean shaded and painted image of the dragon
- only glance of the blurry sky behind him

Something like that.
Tried again Getting there...

Lines are fat for now.
