    I'm in if it's not too late, and for a frame of reference this is my artworks. I vary between detailed pencil drawings and bright digital cartoons but there are lots of things I never try for fear of screwing it all up.

    You might know me from the internet at bogleech.com!

    Alright, deal. my ego really was enjoying that piña colada though...

    @Scadilla your stuff is always so clean (bold lines) and masculine, how about this which seems sketchy and feminine

    Interesting. I really would like to draw more females I'm just terrible at it and really self-critical if they aren't good looking. I will definitely give this a shot though.

    Didn't quite end up truthful to the style Iruka had picked but I tried to push it in that direction. Nonetheless it's far from my normal painterly stuff. And yeah, it's portraying me eating smetana(bulgarian yogurt/sourcream type stuff) straight out of a jar.

    I think I pushed this as far as it goes. It was/is a wonderful learning experience though. (and I'm sure glad I didn't go with hugo pratt-like stylings, those are not only way out of my comfort zone, but I know I just would have tainted his legacy somehow.)

    A multitude of things:
    1. Got und Himmel! The art I'm seeing is awesome.
    2. I'd like to get in on this. My art is is usually heavily stylized single figures (usually full body, but sometimes like my user-pic, rarely colored, and other times a lot like Mike Mignola's).
    3. Bring it on.

    I'm having trouble figuring out how to softly render something with markers, etc.

    As if making something cute wasn't hard enough!

    A month from now or something. That should give people enough time to submit their stuff.

    Projeck, you do something environmental.

    Something in the style of James Piack.

    On a related note: maybe something more serious... Thomas Kinkade? Come on guys, you have the power to tell him which style he has to draw in - you can't loose.

    Hm, I'd really like to do this if it isn't too late. I've been sketching a bunch lately, but haven't been really committing to anything in the last few weeks.

    I mainly do cartoony/simplistic design-type stuff.
    I don't have much, but here's my DA: http://prospicience.deviantart.com/

    It is indeed still running. Now if I could just get people to give damn suggestions! We currently need suggestions for you guys and Chico I think.

    Although this sounds like an amazing challenge to try, I'm going to sit on the metaphorical bench and see the greats create beautiful stuff. But if it's suggestions you want, I bring suggestions for all :D

    @ChicoBlue
    Maybe something that relies on linework rather than paint to tell a story.
    SkottieYoung
    MindTheGap+RGB.jpg
    Akira+002.jpg
    or maybe some Jake Parker
    jackandant.jpg
    rabbitandbearbff.jpg

    @Prospicience
    For you I would suggest caricatures.
    Maybe some JAN OP DE BEECK
    16junicompo.jpg
    19meibuchananspockbuckleykrisohara.jpg
    or maybe some Tom Richmond
    stewart.jpg
    marilyn.jpg

    @Siegried
    And last but not least. I would like to see more black and white from you.
    Here I can only suggest but one artist, MCBess.

    Wuhooo! Okay I'm down with caricatures for sure, however, that's not too far out of my comfort zone. Basically I'll I've been sketching lately is faces, whether it be animals or humans. I may even try to finish more than one suggestion honestly. I've got quite a bit of time this week.

    Do we have a deadline for these? If I have a deadline I'll be more likely to get it done so I can plan it around my schedule.

    Shall we say two weeks from now? That would be the 19th.

    might not have it done by then, got a huge commission on my plate and I've only just got back to drawing at all after almost a month of no time. But we'll see.

    I can always change it if it's an emergency, but then again these contests are starting to run wild timewise.

  • Options

    starting?

    it's not an emergency. I said I'd participate, but these things have to take a backseat to my actual job and any paid commissions so if I miss the deadline so be it. Can always carry on in my own time.

  • Options
    m3nacem3nace Registered User regular
    Yeah I know. We'll see how things develop.

    This one actually has quite a few people participating. It usually runs wild because not many people participate. I think we could keep this one going for a while just for the fact that people are participating.
