Captured by the Eon Contest!

EON, Worlds within Worlds. Another Art Challenge has been launched at The Computer Graphics Society website! And this Contest looks irresistible! First thing, it's a competition based upon the visualization of a science fiction novel by Greg Bear! I've read two times the novel upon which this Contest is based and I can assure you the plot and the environments described there are amazing!

An excerpt from the Guidelines:

Your challenge is to create material for the promotion of a (potential) blockbuster film based on EON, a novel by highly acclaimed writer Greg Bear. Expanded to three categories: Illustration, 3D Scene and Film Trailer, the challenge is to put great words into great pictures using 2D, 3D or video format.

Despite selling thousands of copies and being recognised a sci-fi classic, EON has not yet been visualized for the screen. In this challenge you get to role-play as the creative genius behind the visual interpretation of what could be a blockbuster film. Your mission is to interpret script-to-screen and dream up ways to best portray the story (or parts of it) through visual narrative. Your goal is to convey maximum impact and engagement to the viewer in a very short time.

As a SF Cover Artist and a Greg Bear's fan, I'm going to dive in the competition... just for the fun itself! I don't know personally the writer. By the way, I had a contact with him a few years ago when he wrote a blurb about my Art on the occasion of an international Exhibit of my Artworks:

"Manzieri carries on the grand old tradizion of SF art in the digital domain--a modern Ed Emshwiller, and just as versatile!" (Greg Bear)

Now tell me... shouldn't I be captured by this adventure...? ;-)
