Remember when you were 6 and opening a new box of crayons was the best feeling ever? Time to re-live the experience!
THE CHALLENGE:
Crayons are inexpensive, often inconsistent, and fragile. Your challenge is to apply some wax sticks to paper and see what you come up with. Linework is fine, just do what you can using traditional media-coloring only!
DEADLINE: Wednesday, May 22
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:
* A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
* Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
* Winner also gets the honor of picking the winner of 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).

These are washable crayons so that my wife and I can clean them off of the walls, the doors, the furniture, my desk, my computer monitor, and occasionally our daughter. I had envisioned him being in the rain and I was going to do this cool washed out thing by wiping over the drawing with a damp paper towel. Turns out "washable" does not mean the same thing as "watercolor." Oh well. I work with color pretty rarely so overall I'm happy with the results.
I blog and draw cartoons <a href="http://adventuresofnormalguy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">here</a>.
I learned color with oil pastels, so this translates very much so.
cray-- ON!!
Edit: This is the first time I feel I have successfully captured my likeness... Even though its just a quick crayon sketch, I feel like my line work was spot on, and its thrown me into a manic exuberance.
Shit's gonna get crayola!

I would have killed for an "army green" crayon, somehow my 24-pack's only greens are a green that's very bright, yellow-green, and green-yellow.
Been playing a lot of Kerbal Space Program. Jebediah's attitude is inspiring.

This one really looks like a mutant version of my X-girl, but I swear I didn't consciously mean to do that. I am kind of afraid to post it online because I think she will be insulted...Luckily she's not on the PA forums!
MOAR! (These ones are highlighter with crayon on top, so I don't know if they count.
