Juggertha

One of the first times I've ever actually done up a pic of a CoH main, here's Alpha One vs The REAL Nemisis

A pretty funky looking hero if ya ask me - Whiteblast

Either soeone has to drop out - or you've gotta find a partner to join up with ya (gotta keep it even ya know).

Aye, you guys have got a month - no rush on it.

Ok, ended up changing the format forthese... now i've gotta edit all the pics.

I've never actually watched "Heroes" but I don't see what's the big deal. I mean...isn't that what the internet is for? You could just goto google and search for Heroes and you'd get like a million reference shots.

My thoughts exactly.

Spin, if one of these otehr guys wants out, you can take their place.

He can take my spot, Juggertha.

As for me dropping out, to be honest it's not the theme that threw me. Over the next few months, I'm going to be really busy going back to school, and more than likely I won't have the time to do a project like this.

Good luck to those who remain! I'll be cheering you on.

Ok Spin, you up for his slot?

Sorry mate, two things:
1-We're hoping for more than just a screenie (at least mod it in some way)
2-You would have had to of signed up for this a few weeks back (it's relatively closed for newentries now).

Its cause they dont have fancy costumes! How can they be heroes without something snazzy?

[/ QUOTE ]

Here's your chance to give them one!

Throw one of the HEROEs into a pair of tights (actually, very similar to what I was thinking of doing for this challenge)

I'm kind of surprised that we're losing a few people based on the topic choice.

I've had to do up a number of pics for people in games that I have never played (cough - WoW) before and simply went with what info I had. Heck, I've even done up pics based solely on a written description. lol

Honestly, that is what the "challenge" and "battle" part of this is all about. Sure, we could all draw Statesman... and then see who does him best.

But isn't it better to throw some twists into it here and there?

Maybe I'm wrong here, and if so, we can call this off before it gets started.

If 6 people come into here and call it quits, we'll end it now - no need to torture anyone.

Honestly though, I thought this was a good way to kick it off - heck, who doesn't like HEROES??

((haha, no worries Arctic_Innocence, I know not everyone actually likes the series... but it is kind of popular ya know))

Not to buck at the challenge, love the show and willing to do it, just I think we were led to believe this would all be COH related... sorry to loose ya Draco.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, a couple people have given me that impression as well. I've never stated it, and never thought it, so I'm guessing it was just assumed on some people's parts?

Hmmmm, I didn't know it'd be so confusing for you all.

It's really quite simple: Draw something inspired by the show (ie. Fan Art).

For example...

-a sketch of a main actor.
-A group shot of them in hero uniforms.
-a screenshot manipulated to look like one of the Heroes.
-a 'cliffhanger' scene worthy (or copying) the show.


Basically, just use the show as a jumping off point - you can get creative from there. Think of it a little bit like your manager just handed you a request from a client... you've got the broad strokes of it, but the specifics are up to you.

Edit: Specific answers...

So does the piece have to be in the Heroes world, or is it just suppose to be inspired and can almost be anything?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd expect someone to look at your piece and be able to see a connection.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm a little unclear, do we draw one or more of them, or say our favorite scene... or a possible meeting of them? Is it anything Heroes? or comic book versions of Heroes...

[/ QUOTE ]

The graphic novels or the TV show, as long as we can see a connection to them. Look at the link I provided in the OP for character ideas and such.

[ QUOTE ]
I thought the fan art things would be around city of heroes?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, that's going to be a large part of these challenges, but this first one is because I'm "jonesing" because the the writers strike. Worry not, you'll get more CoH goodness if you make it through the first round.

[ QUOTE ]
Lil unclear myself <,< but I'm sure Juggy will explain more.

(I don't watch TV so I actually know nothing of Heroes)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, this is where it gets tough. With art challenges and such, it's hoped that most people have a general knowledge on the subject. Sorry my little squirrel, I hope the wiki link above gives you some ideas on the characters and such.


Hope that helps answers some questions y'all.

January Challenge: HEROES (the tv series)

Overview: HEROES has been a hit on TV for the last year and is notorious for its character development and cliffhanger storylines. Try to bring some of these aspects into a piece inspired by HEROES.

Rules: This one is fairly open when it comes to mediums used. You can use traditional pencil, paints, and markers, or digital ones as well. In addition, for this month you are also able to use video capturing, screenshot and photo manipulation, and 3D rendering. Keep in mind though, that if you are only doing up a sketch, but your ‘opponent’ has put more work into theirs, you might come up a little short in votes.

There will be only one entry allowed per person, and it is due no later than January 25th. Voting will be held the following week. If there is no entry submitted or it is late, you automatically forfeit and lose your spot on the rankings board.

Please keep all your discussion and posting of pieces to this thread. The voting WILL BE ON ANOTHER THREAD.

Good luck true believers,

-FArt Admin.

Yeah, sorry, my bad on that.


It's the 19th today and I think it's safe to call it at 20 members. It'll be good to have an even number to start off with.


I'll be posting up the 'leader board' and the first 'challenge' within a week.

Added YIN to the mix.

I recently made a page. All i did was find someone who's page i liked clicked the edit button, copied and pasted it in my blank page then just changed all their info to my info. Took me a day to figure that out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats what I'd do. Find someones you like, go into edit mode, copy everything, paste in your page, edit.

[/ QUOTE ]


Aaah thats great advice guys thank you!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, that's howI did it too.
