Wow, great work Eric! I agree that it's cute, yet creepy. It's kind of like something from the Island of Dr. Moreau.
And I really like Duggery vs. Rocky, theorgg! Duggery in particular came out pretty sweet.

Here's my entry for this contest. Before they were Army Ants they were Army Larvae!

I decided to use a different media this time: construction paper pasted on foam board, with Sharpee and Micropen for the details.

great entry tortle! bout time the army ants line got some fan art. I never woulda guessed construction paper from looking at it. Great use of mixed media. Great balance and flow. Especially great use of negative space. How many art classes have you taken?

This one end at the end of the month? I just got a super stellar idea for entry, but don't know if I'll be able to pull it off with the change in my schedule......I have to sleep during the day and work at night....wait, nothing has changed. 
Nevermind.
Nevermind.

Wow. This contest started slow with me, but we've gotten nothing but extremely high-quality artistry after that! Awesomeness!
Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

Eric. Tortle. I just want you guys to know that you are magnificent.
I have a couple ideas kickin' around in my head for this, just haven't entered it yet because it feels like i've been traveling for much of the past month. Time to take care of bidness now though.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I thought MUSCLEs and Battle Beasts were getting way too overrated, so I decided to do a different toyline. 
I was hoping it wouldn't look too much like a grade school art project with all the construction paper.

At the risk of total humiliation here is my contest entry.

14 downloads
I had originally drawn this (dispite my obvious lack of artistic talent) when there was only 1 entry to kinda "bump" the contest but then some other people entered and I thought "whew I am off the hook". Jeff has been trying to persuade me to enter it anyway so here goes.
On the upside...it sorta looks like a kid drew it and that's the theme right...right?!?
Woohoo 1st ever contest entry!!

Thanks guys. 
Dan and Eric, if it's any consolation to you guys, you blow me away in the penciling department. My pencils always look like a 4 year old did them, it's just me trying to blow through them fast and hope i know where to put the colors when i'm done.
