For the competition I have decided to go for something epic, and how much more epic can you get than lord of the rings, This took way longer than I had anticipated, but I believe this has been time well spent, I hope you enjoy my little tale:

The Lord Of The Rift:

Part 1: The Fellowship Of The Rift

Beware the ever watching eye of oculus! It never rests, Endlessly searching for the One Rift that was lost so long ago.

At the council of Elrond, Frodo reveals that the One Rift has been found, And Gandalf warns all assembled of the words of power, that are cast into the very material that the Rift is made from.

"One Rift to rule them all, Rift to find them, One Rift to bring them all, And in the V.R. bind them!"

For this pic I wanted to show as many of the oculus team, and game developers who are supporting the rift as possible. Because the kickstarter really was a true fellowship of the rift, with everyone comming together for a common cause, to improve the lives of millions, and deliver on a promise made many ages ago. That VR is coming, That VR is alive, And that VR belongs to us all!

Here is the new cast of characters:

From The Top Row

Aragorn: David Helgason
Gandalf: Michael Abrash
Legolas: John Carmack
Borromir: Jack McCauley

Middle Row

Dude sitting behind borromir: Cliff Bleszinsky
Gimli: Gabe Newell

Bottom Row

Sam: Brendan Iribe
Frodo: Palmer Luckey
Merry: Michael Antonov
Pippin: Chris Robberts

Elrond gathers together our intrepid band of warriors, and tasks them with the destruction of the One Rift, he warns them that if they look into it, their lives will be forever changed, and that they will long after it forever, until their every waking thought is bent to it's will.

All the races of game developers, hardware enthusiasts and haptic geeks shall unite together for this one mission, to free the world from it's longing, The time for action is now!

Image

Edit: This is my second attempt, I've colour corrected their faces to better fit in the scene, and found a better pic of Chris Roberts. There is also an Easter egg hidden in this pic, see if you can find it.

LOL, maybe I'll come back and retouch that one later on, but for now I'm exhausted, must rest (it's 2:30am and I have work tomorrow, ouch!).

Edit: actually looking at it, I'm happy with it, just gonna leave it as it is (unless there is an outcry asking for change), If anyone asks about why Frodo is looking a little baked, I'm just going blame it on the pipe weed.

I don't think it's anything to do with the day, I suspect everyone's just holding off their submissions until the end. As you don't want to give your competitors any chance to react to your work, there is always a chance they could then come up with something better. With the deadline being not too far away now it's easier just to wait it out. That's the most logical approach to take if your playing to win.

Personally I've just been busy; Xmas, new year, a birth, a death, a wedding this weekend, changing job AND some extra job offers thrown in just to complicate things... busy.

I aim to make one or two more silly pics, on top of titanic/shining/predator - hopefully I can find the time!

I know i said its the most logical thing to hold back your pics until the end, let me now contradict myself by doing exactly the opposite thing and posting some new pics... (Just try making sense of that!)

In this collection I wanted to tell a story about how when you are playing with the Rift, you can become so immersed in the game world that you start to think of yourself as the actual game character.

It doesn't matter who you are in real life, With virtual reality provided by the Rift, you can choose to become whoever you want to be.

Image

I have also uploaded desktop wallpaper size versions of each slide, if you wanted one for your desktop background, Just click on the links below, I had designed these with the intention that they be shown one after another, in a full screen slide show presentation.

The Force Is Strong With This One
"Never turn your back on this little lady, She is tougher than you think"

I'm A Super Hero
In this pic I wanted to show that using the Rift can help free you from your physical limitations. Giving you a chance to experience things which may be unavailable to you in the real world

I'm a unicorn ?!?!
"I think this guy's been playing too much Robot Unicorn Attack."

An Identity Crysis
A lady playing Crysis gets caught up in the moment

Who do you want to be?
"Enter virtual reality with the Rift and become whoever you want to be."
