I know what ya mean, i might not even be able to vote for myself in good conscience. Which is a shame, 'cause i could really use $25 right about now.

I mean, I'm no Van Gogh, but I can probably throw together a Picasso at the very least! haha

Here is the winner. Really just stunning, even with the Cobra Commander pose.
Well, he does get bonus points for finding a shirtless picture of Cobra Commander in the first place.

But if after the contest jkaris is still finding himself in need of some Buffaloman art, i've always got more on deck. Will work for toys.

EDIT: I thought his chest area needed more work, and I added a few more finishing touches. I think it's finished now.

EDIT 2: And for grins, I thought I'd try this out in the classic Terri-bull color scheme from MUSCLE packaging.

And to be clear, I only want the Buffaloman image entered in the contest. The Terr-Bull color scheme is a bit much.

I'm a big fan of your art and actually it was one of mf favourites of yours so far I just haven't been posting in too many of these FAC threads but I've been enjoying reading them

I agree. Your entry is butt-awesome, Kevin. I actually like them all, and it will be very difficult for me to choose a favorite.

Sensing a disturbance in the force, I am.No. I'm done.

Okay, treading very, very, very lightly here because you're obviously a talented, accomplished, and published artist, and I have zero to negative zero artistic talent myself, I have to say that I personally find a lot of your work -- as shown here in digital form on the forum -- to be overly dark. (Physically dark, not "dark" as in macabre content.)
I think your illustrations are amazing. It's the overly dark coloring and line thickness that personally turns me off. For example, the below image to me seems to focus on the blackness, with the red character kinda being an "afterthought."
Similar thing with this picture! I think it's amazing, but the darks just overpower and crowd out everything else...
The similar theme is happening in this pic! As I recall there was an even darker version. It's so dark it difficult to tell what is what...
Like Jkaris said awhile back, the dark overtones definitely go with the fantasy genre that you are masterful at... but for me, that darkness doesn't always carry over well into other subject matter. But really, this is all just my measly old opinion. I tend to like light, minimalistic art, so I have a bias, and... my high school art teacher was always telling me to go heavier on the darks.
In any case, we'd ALL be sorely disappointed if we didn't see any more entries from you.

The Buffaloman with the black background is actually kind of cool. Although it doesn't show off the Buffaloman art very well, I like the effect of Buffaloman emerging from the darkness.
I agree with everyone in that it would suck nuts if you didn't enter these contests anymore Kevin. I understand that you might need a break from it, though. Coming up with a new piece every month is a bit demanding, especially if it takes 4-8 hours for each entry (as it does with my stuff). So, taking a break is good, but don't say this is goodbye!

We've gotten an amazing turnout this time: 8 participants with 10 entries, which is even more than the first FAC!
Cool work, Reccoom! You should definitely try to finish one for the contest!

Whoever hosts it should think of a Battle Beast theme because this month's was a MUSCLE theme.Have we even started talking about FAC 7? Who's going to be running it and what will the subject be?
