The challenge is "Crime Noir". Can be just a panel and doesn't have to be in the Frank Miller/Sin City style. Just something that conveys "Noir " comics.

~ BI-WEEKLY (aka, bi-monthly) CHALLENGE THREAD ~


For those of you who frequent the conceptart.org forums this should be pretty familiar; tens of artistic combatants thrown together in to an artistic arena, each struggling for the honor of being dubbed a master of the visual arts. Those of you who succeed will be bathed in glory and the blood of their competitors, those of you who fail will be exiled to a life of shame and isolation.

The aim of this thread is to try and spice things up a bit here in the ol' Artist's Corner. This thread is for entries in to the challenge or the discussion thereof. If you'd like to suggest a topic for the weekly challenge, go right ahead, but understand that the last winner of the challenge has total control over the task (unless they have won more than two challenges in a row, see rules).

The rules are simple;


RULES:

* One entry per person, per challenge.
* A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
* Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
* At the end of a challenge, the thread is locked and a new one is begun.
* Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
* All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.

If you're looking for inspiration, check out the aforementioned conceptart.org forums (specifically the creature/environment/character of the week sections).

    Excellent idea.

    My first reaction would be something like Cagney or Bogart meets Natalie Portman.

    Gonna have to give this one some thought.

    Thanks Guy.

    I love black and white comics. Some of my friends say it's because I'm afraid of color.

    There's some truth in that.

    This stuff is usually in the first post of the challenge. I copied this from the previous challenge - perhaps a mod could fix this thread up?

    Just finished my entry. I used a Hunt # 107 crowquill and a # 2 series 7 brush. I've always been a big fan of the Shadow because...he just killed people.

    These are lots of fun - I had to give one a try, too. I dusted off an old character property and did a quick sketch. Hope you like.
