Thanks everybody!
I was pleased with my results.
Can't wait to see the rest of the entries.

awesome job kevin... you too nate... now i gotta pull out my A+ game...

[doc_moore_j]

Wow I agree Kevin, that is sweet. I dont know what it is (cause I dont collect), but the character and just overall energy of the piece is amazing. I also wanted to comment on your gun piece, that site must be full of a bunch of homos cause when I first say that thing I thought it was effing amazing.

This is the figure my picture is based on.

As for the contests on ConceptArt.org, they have a little clique of members in which the same people win every month, the rest all praise those people and shun newcomers. The half dozen or so contests I entered before tiring of the site, I ended up being the only one that didn't know everyone else, and the only one never deemed good enough to even have my work voted on.

That little guy is cool. I havent seen him in the current voting contest. that makes me sad.

Since I'm not even talented enough to draw bad art I have trouble with perspective but are the fingers on his left hand (the left hand of doom) slightly longer than on his right. If so great attention to detail, if not. Who Cares! This piece rrrrooooooccckkks

I should have known you'd have a slight adventage because the theme lends itself well to a darker tone which you excell at. But while the theme is dark you did a great job on making the colors and textures not as shadowed as past entries. Two thumbs way up on this one Kevin Mayle.

Good eye on noticing the fingers. I went really subtle with them so it wouldn't look weird.
Thanks for the compliments. This picture just came out of me with no thought or effort. I just sat down and everything fell into place. Normally I labor over these, making draft after draft, and not really being pleased with the results. Hopefully I can continue this trend of improving myself.

All real strong entries!

Scumm: that koala rocks (and apparently hops rocks too)!

Tortle: great detail and proportion as always, and the re-animator movies were my original inspiration for this topic, so bonus to you!

Kevin: Superb entry. Can almost see him twitching there (the charachter, not Kevin)!

I'm working on another Guache/india ink painting, with toon versions of about 15 or so 'formers, and 3 surprises.

Is Newoldguy still around? would be great to see his take on this challenge...

[Kevin Mayle]

Only four days left. Where are all the entries?
Just kidding. I know there's another month. I just wanted to see more pictures.
There are so many possibilities with this FAC's theme.

[Kevin Mayle]

Does FAC10 start today?

[Ericnilla]

fac 9 officially starts for me, i took that month off so now its just one month contests for me.

[Tortle]

Here's my second entry for this contest. I wanted to do something with the cartoon aspect of this contest, so I did a Family Guy inspired theme.

[CCVegita]

[jkaris]

Sweet! Is that Family guy and Arnold? Or Family guy and that other football head kid.

Thanks guys! It's actually Peter and Stewie:



But I never really realized how much Stewie looked like Arnold before.

[Czarcher]

OMFG Nate ! That is awesome ! You picked the perfect BB's to represent Peter and Stewie. You Win ! Actually I can't remember the last time I did'nt vote for you. But to do a piece based on my favorite show = Hands down winner !
BTW- Who the Eff is 'Arnold'?

Well, here is mine. In person I'm very pleased with the "Battle Beast Animated Heroes" scene. It is on comic book paper with Sharpie. I don't have a color scanner so a picture will have to do for now. Where can I go have it scanned? Kinkos or somewhere like that?

[Tortle]

Cool stuff, GL! I like the ape... he looks like he's having a blast! I also like the elephant. He's one of my favorite BBs, so it's cool to see him in a FAC entry that's not mine. Anyway, great job!

You can definitely get it scanned at Kinko's. You could also try Staples. I think they have scanning services, too.

I like it!
Walmart and Walgreens have scanners at their photo centers for you to use. But from the looks of your picture, it's larger than 8 1/2 X 11. So you'd have to make a couple scans and piece it together in Photoshop or something. I think the photograph you took is perfectly fine.

[Ericnilla]

wow guys... great job. hopefully i can finish mine... dont think im gonna ink this one, either... tonight hopefully.

[mrjayberry]

I'm happy to finally see some new enteries keep up the great work guys

[Ericnilla]
