Go to Fan Art, and there's a link at the bottom claiming that you can win up to $1000 if your work is chosen as the top in judging. So far the entrants look like younger people, or those with no formal training, so...why not take the competition up a notch?
Plus I know we're all jazzed about KoF12, it gives us a goal, and if the Darkstalkers book was any indication, TNL is bound to represent in the top three.
So when's this due? I have thoughts towards making one.
Man there's a couple of decent ones in there, but it's mostly shite.
Which is why TNL should bring the heat!
Yeller ~ I think the deadline is mid to end June. If you click the link at the bottom of the fan art page you get all that info.
LOL, it's been so long since I cared about KoF character profiles, and now I'm reading them on the site. SNK really makes 'em silly. But I will draw one!
So working on a color comp now. Have a good idea of the scene and perspective so slowly hammering away on this.
Edit - tweaked some things so the overall look is coherent.
Hopefully whoever wins has a better submission than that shit that was with SF4. That shit was horrid beyond any reasoning.
Andy is GO!
Homestar Runner KoF :lol: :D :tu:
Round 2!
PS - re-checked the site and deadline is July 31. There is no reason not to enter!!!
BUSTA WOLF
text added. Should I throw some people in the foreground, or will it pull away from Terry and Andy?
Add Mai in the foreground, but make it so that like the only thing you see are her mammoth breasts emerging from the side of the frame. You can then say you added somebody else, it won't distract (too much) from Andy and Terry, and it'll probably earn you bonus points with the judges.
Aw, I wish I saw your post sooner! I had sent it off about an hour ago. Figured better to leave it alone than futz with it. Was doing some foreground sketches of characters - Billy and Joe musing "why can't I play?" since they weren't in 12. Mai and Mary fighting over who got dibs on winner. They were cute ideas but all of them meant making Terry and Andy less important and I didn't want that.
I like your idea a lot though. Having Mai's boobs sneaking in there would've given some much needed fill and depth without being too distracting...kinda. Ah well - I already know I'd like to get another one out so I'm up for character ideas. I'm game for anyone as long as I can tell some sort of story out of it.
Pretty cool Hero, I honestly like yours the best of any on the site so far. Sweet job man!
oh wow, I had no idea it went up that fast. Sweet!
ooooh, a friend of mine is letting me borrow his 12 x 12 Cintrique (sp?) tablet tomorrow... This could be something fun to try it out with.
I may give it a shot.
Cintiqs* are fuuuun
Yes, and way out of my price range. I feel like a shitheel, but I was so stoked when I heard his laptop's motherboard and video card shit the bed. I get to keep the tablet for around 3 weeks.
=)
Did this ridonkulous Mai sketch. Kinda like the idea of really blowing out proportions but still feel like I could push it further...
Being a huge Mai fan, I'd love to see you finish that. And while I know you might be tempted to take things further, I think what you gave her at that point is a nice mix of "zomg huge" without being just overbearing.
oh yeah, I'm totally fine with that aspect. By further I meant Bruce Tim-ing it up and messing with the waist/hip ratio a bit more, tweak the legs...from her chest up I'm pretty happy with so far.
Ah, in that case, that could be interesting. I like the proportions you have going on already, but a bit more exaggerated might not be bad. Then again, I like Mai with a little body on her (as you've got there).
Since the deadline is approaching, I decided to jump on this. I just got my flats masked out, and there's plenty of mistakes to fix, but here's what I've come up with so far.
I decided to go with the over-bulking of Ralph and Clark, and just make them beefy. I've started working on the lighting, and it's going to be important for making the comp convincing, looks a little silly for now...well, it's going to be cheesecake anyway, but at least it should be weighted right.
Furyfox ... when that piece is done. Could you make that poster sized so I may get it printed out and hung on my wall?
That's some good shit, FF.
*whew* Finally submitted. There's still stuff I want to mess with, but I've already gone over my time limit for this project. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
I saw yours up there Hero, looking good. Did anyone else put one in? Dunlap, Donuts? I'd say any of Artist Block regulars have a good chance of placing, based on the competition so far.
I forgot about this, when is the due date?
July 31st.
THAT IS BADASS!
That really is sick Fury
So I missed the deadline with this one. Ended up scrapping that sketch of Mai, doing a new one, and coming up with this:
Honest feedback, I liked the first sketch a lot more. The slender face and coy expression works better, and Mai should have cleavage. It looks like her boobs aren't on speaking terms with each other.
Still a good effort, but you should have gone with your first instincts.
SO GUESS WHAT?
Received an e-mail placing me in the top ten for the contest! They say the results will be determined "soon."
I'm all excited here!
Congratulations, Hero!
Nice! That's great news, Hero. Alas, I never received an email *wah, wah, waaaaaa
Cool, Hero!
Thanks!
FF~I don't get that one bit. Your work is top ten calibur easily!
The art was better than the game.
Whoa, almost missed this!Quote:

Although I do like the idea of trying it that way! Maybe go back to the original sketch and use the things that I still like (clevage and face) while tweaking the rest (hips, arms, etc).
SO GUESS WHAT AGAIN?
I got "2nd Runner Up" in this. That's like...3rd place, right? So I get a copy of the game. No system or $1000 though =/
Congratulations! Do they have a gallery up of all the winners or just that gallery from the beginning of everyone?
Sweet!Quote:

Did you enter their Muramasa contest too?
Missed the deadline =/
that stuff is pretty damn good like the last one. Take some art classes or something, you could be pretty awesome with some instruction to fine-tune a few things.
Nice compliment... or is it?
I dunno...I went to school for art (BFA in illustration), so....huh?
Although I do feel since being out of school I'm more removed from what made school worthwhile. No constant drawing, life drawing, site drawing, or critique/feedback like before.
(if they're talking about Fury, they can shove off! His work is rad AND he works professionally to boot)
I think it's just a spammer trying to build some cred, actually.
I agree, Hero. You need a pretty strong art community to hang out with to keep up with those things (at least I do, hard to stay self-motivated). I miss school, but I'd definitely do it differently if I was to go back or experience some sort of magical reset.
Same here! How's the saying go? You don't know what you have until it's gone? I feel like I took a lot of things for granted back then.
