I'm dying to see what Reccoom's got for this.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

True, but my entry, even if it's tops (which I seriously doubt, haha) isn't going to be voted on.

That's because everyone will be voting for Nate's!!!

[Soupie]

Excellent work, everyone! I've got my favorite and I'm ready to vote!

[WhiteLeo]

Hands down winner - don't even bother voting.

EDIT - I guess I should also add that it’s not just the quality I appreciate about Tortle’s drawing. There’s a fluidity and real sense of scale to it. He’s captured the look, but to me he’s also captured the character – which is often most important. This is the kind of picture that ends up on a comic book cover, for the previously mentioned reasons plus the story it tells without any context.

Don't be so sure ! We have'nt seen what Johnny has been working on. He could bust out something that could totally blow your mind !

Johnny gets a special prize!

It doesn't have anything to do with lightsaber sliced meat, does it?

My Gosh! I feel really intimidated by Steve's new Avatar. Now you look like you are a Legend. Don't beat my arse with an elevator cable now.

Mahahaha, I am the Supreme Commander, that is until Johnny puts me back in my place!

I finally have this peice fully conceptualized (yay! I win at scrabble!), and Kinkos goes and makes the file way too big. I had to go back with the phosho eraser tool, to get as much as possible pure white to reduce file size. Even saving for web at a truly pathetic 1% quality rate, the file is at 390k+. Should be much better with the finished one, if its done in time.

This is a homage to the 80s/90s Marvel comics "What If" series, where they break dogma and do something different.

I hope I hold up to everyone's expectations with this one. The harsh angles of the godbeasts were a real challenge, and there was a long plotting phase, to get the placement and composition figured out.

Very Cool Reccoom! Can't wait to see the finished Product. What If was always one of my favorite series.

[Kevin Mayle]

Wow Reccoom!! That is extremely awesome! I love What If, I love your concept, and I can't believe how beautifully perfect those God Beasts came out. The perspective is dead on and the detail and clean lines are very skillfully rendered. You exceded my expectations and I can't wait to see how the final version turns out. I'm off tomorrow, so I'm going to be working on another one to try and measure up to the heavy competition.

[Kevin Mayle]

Spent the whole day yesterday on my new one and I'm just about finished, but not yet. Hopefully after work today I'll wrap it up.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

Okay, here is my finished pic. Sorry if it's a little plain, but I got tired of worrying about it, so I just did a quick background. The color pencils I had kind of sucked, and my scanner is just too bright. It lightened up the colors a bit. Other than those excuses, I've got nothing. Hope it's okay. I did alot of color mixing, I swear for the most part I only had like greenblue, brown, yellow, and black colors. Glad they teach you about mixing colors in kindergarten.

Good job URS ! Looks pretty cool. It looks like Buffaloman was hunting himself a woodbeetle...when all of a sudden... AMBUSH !

[WhiteLeo]

Thanks guys! Your both right! Buffaloman was hunting a Beetle, and all of a sudden Woody jumps out grabs him some Rocky Mountain Oysters and tells him to cough!! J/K

I was gonna make the background much darker and more detailed, but I really got tired of worrying about it. Beetle is suppose to be pushing that tree out of the way, but I ran out of paper on that side of the pic. I originally wanted you to see his hand pushing the tree. Oh well. I had fun doing it anyways.

[Kevin Mayle]

OK, finally done.

Almost done finishing the "What if" picture, and its coming along much better than I'd hoped. Jaws are gonna hit the floor when I post this tomorrow night!
