I made a construction paper Dragonberry.

Hi guys! What's going on here?

Ahem. Because I was a dork and didn't look at some of the other entries before posting mine, mine looks way too much like a copy of someone who posted earlier for me to be happy. I even did the Paragon Protectors in the background in pretty much the same way x.x; So I went and re-did my entry! Here's my NEW submission, ignore the previous one;

My idea here was to try to approach it from a different angle, and try to make my picture in the spirit of the original illustrations that came with the first printing of the book! In this scene the Circle of Thorns summoned something they can't quite handle

Gah, next time I'm looking at the other entries before I submit mine

And here's mine;

I usually try not to vote in these things, not because I don't like drama (actually I love it, especially pointless board drama), but because as one of the participants it almost feels like cheating to me. Also its a lot of work, and damnit, I worked hard enough making art for the darn thing already.

Though I agree with the earlier statement by what's her name, I'd rather someone give me (constructive) negative feed back on something I drew rather than nothing at all. Sure, silence can speak volumes, but I don't want to be flipping through volumes to find out what whoever doesn't like it.

So, on to the voting... I'm gunna go...

1. Battlewraith
2. Clutch
3. Lousy Day

-I absolutely love the color sheme in Battlewraiths pic, and the lightning. There's no mistake what he wants you to look at first off, the big, shiney, scantily clad female. The background characters, also, all direct your eye back to her, because they're all looking at her. I shall say though that the kids face freaks me out a little. Everyone else looks normal, but his face... I dunno, maybe it's the odd shape of his mouth, and his black donut. There's something evil about that child... something dark... he's fearless enough to creep up next to a super strong girl holding a block of concerete over his head, and has the undropped balls to grope her while she's holding it over him. I think that child may be more than he appears. But her face glows, her boobs light up the place, and her expression has that look of surprise you see on many cheesecake style images of buxxom women. And once again, I really love the color scheme, and the muted colors in the background, and really bright range on /her/. Great layout!

-Clutch had a great piece, and he submitted it right off the bat. It's unmistakably valentines day themed too, because of the HUGE heart, and the pinks and purples in it. The expression and rich colors in the woman sitting in the chair seem a bit more... deeper... and higher contrast than the girl on her lap, though. Her hair (and boobs) have a bit more gleam and shiney to them than the prostrated Liberty, I think. And the pose, and presentation there is great, it's fantastic cheesecake (and as some pointed out, the panties down around her foot is a nice touch). I can definitely see the Normon Rockwell influence that the artist wanted to work into his piece, and that's pretty amazing... there's something about both of the girl's faces that sort of ring with his style, along with the color pallet that he chose... although... I think the bent over girls butt cheeks could have used a bit more debth, somehow. Color-wise, they felt slightly flat to me, especially compared to the golden glimmering off the girl punishing her. But, over all, fantastic job. It's way more than I could have pulled off.

I voted Lousy Day third in my line up of favorite 3 pieces, mostly because the woman's face seemed somewhat off, maybe more so when I back up a little than when I look at it closely. I think it may be the structure of her face, and she sharpness of her nose, and the different shapes of her eyes. However, over all, this is a great cheese cake picture. Classic, in more ways than one. The color scheme, overall, has that brown-overlay... warm look like a lot of old illustratrions from like the 50's and earlier have, and the pose somehow has that classic feel to me... also, somehow, her simple US flag costume feels like something that would have been designed back when they were first coming up with such classic costume designs as the original Supermans, or Wonder Woman's outfits. It also has a fun painted look to it, with the trees and lake off in the background, and the clouds all feeling oddly traditional to me. This whole image has me imagining myself sneaking into an old world war II cheesecake picture and lifting the girls skirt with a stick, and being a big kicker for the nostalgic look, I vote this in.

edit: Oh and on a side note, I discovered my submission fits perfectly on iphones as a wallpaper.

Too late to update mine? Cuz I updated mine;

Geesh... only about 3 more days to work on this, and I still got no idea of what I'm going to draw.

Errm, Deebs, I can tell this really stresses you out, maybe you should take a breather from the thread for a while? You're my bestest friend ever and I love ya lots (and I adore forum drama), but I think you may need a break for a bit.

Hm, I did fail to recall the 'women' requirement as I worked on this so suddenly (As I very rarely think before I do anything), however I have made necessary adjustments to my piece (It did take me a while as I was trying to think of a way to put it in that wouldn't harsh the humor and artistic integrity of my original submission). So, after careful consideration (And quite honestly sitting back and enjoying the forum drama for quite a while, while considering how best to respond), I have come up with this girl version of my original submission!

I (maybe) refuse to change my entry until Christopher Robin chooses to use regular, easy to read standard white type. The field of orange when I see his posts kills my eyes x.x; I honestly skip anything he types because it's giant and orange and is a pain to read. It's nothing personal, other than his choice in colors. I'm making a stand! (maybe)

Great pics so far! Here's mine;

Err, oh, gosh. Thanks so much? Yes, I believe I have grown many a manly inch this day, Deebs, the pictures shall be in the mail! And thank you all the rest of you all and all that business.
