Anyway I'd just like to see a few sumeans there.
I'd like to challenge Aven or Makk, if not I'll happily accept a challenge from any other sumean.
Haha Camper. I'm just giving you shit :D Had to do some trash talking ;)
Are you willing to get an ICQ or Yahoo account or do I have to get MSN? Be good to chat outside of here :)
I agree whole heartedly with Jonathan. This would be a great idea for 2D artists. It would also be good for those who just want a challenge for a new 3D character as well :) The plus side is that since it can just be illustrational, it can be done in less than a day too.

Hah! I would say bring it!!! :P
But looks like Aven has accepted :)OMG!! Justin Sweet Vs Craig Mullins *drools*
OMG!! Justin Sweet Vs Craig Mullins *drools*
OMG!! Justin Sweet Vs Craig Mullins *drools*
Now that would just kick all kinds of ass!
You seem very excited.
Do you walk around constantly with a bib?
I'm just playing, dude. *insert smiley here*
This is an excellent idea - the 'Showdown' - why not have the Sumea showdown, where we create a 1 on 1 battle scene showing your character beating the shit out of the other persons character? You could post a WIP or rough concept for the other artist to interpret so that they have an idea of the other character for their character to fight? Thus, 2d artists are creating an original character plus interpreting their 'opponent's' character - a handy skill.
Plus, if you wanna take it a step further - do the 3d aspect of the challenge (including a 'home' stage/environment -- assuming that your character is fighting on home ground) so even if you 'lose' the first part, you could win the second part? Stalemates could be possible too.

I've got no problem with trash talk, not that it will do you any good[:p].
haha Jonathan, I tend to go into "fanboy mode" when it comes to Justin Sweet and Craig Mullins........if you couldnt tell!! [:o)]
Looking forward to seeing you two battle! [8D]
It would be cool to enter myself but my plate is currently full, well, overflowing actually [:(]
Edit: wow, the battle between Seb and Manley is getting heated!!
Especially with Landmates comments!

Cool 100th post.
That thread got so heated that it got deleted. Damn I didn't even get to see it.
Anyway I really don't see the point in fighting over the medium, I'll be using a combination of Pencils, Inks and Photoshop. Aven can use whatever he likes, it's the skill not the medium that should decide it.
Makk: Looking forward to seeing Aven and I battle? errr...thanx. I'm looking forward to it myself. It's pretty good motivation, ever since Aven accepted my challenge I've been working on my weaknesses, learning new techniques and re-enforcing pre-existing skills. It's a shame your too busy to enter, maybe next time.
Just a small update, It's finally started. Here is Aven's and I's thread:
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15180
Like the concept, Aven but my Nazi-Proportion sense is tingling and thus, those legs in the last pic are too long. I realise that she's wearing heels that a dominatrix would probably only wear, but even then, they're a bit too long. I think part of it is the bent knee on the right.
I like the concept with the close ups best.
On a side note - she looks like a girl who cries during sex. Oops. Did I say that out loud?
I really like your style - it kinda reminds me of Witchblade or Michael Turners Fathom. Your style seems to have a flavour of it's own, which for me, is the one of the most important things about someone's work. Flavour is what makes someone's work standout and stand apart from everyone elses stuff.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Ben - Thanks for the kind words, but at least you have started. Now roll out some more pics :D I also really have to thank you for challenging me. It has given me a serious kick in the arse to actually do something. Plus it has been a ball :D
Smeg - Thanks. I still have to do some colouring now. That is something that I have very little experience in, so I will really have to try hard.
Jonathan - If it helps I was born in Germany :D Just a few years too late though. I have always drawn my female (and male, just not as badly) with overly long legs. When I keep them towards realsitic proportions, they just feel/look odd. Plus, it helps to show that she is more petit :) They aren't really dominatrix style heels, as there isn't any platform to them :) I would have loved to have stayed with the first pic, but the rules changed slightly and I was having a shit of a time trying to paint all of those ripps and folds in :/ Maybe later when my skill level increases. As for the sex comment.... well that is another way of saying how I wanted her to look :rolls eyes: Michael Turner was one of my original influences (since I saw the Ballistic mini-series), as were/are the majority of TopCow artists. Roll some Luis Royo into the mix and then add in some Playboy and my own tastes (er more Playboy :D), and there you go.
I am definitely with you about starting up a comp like this here. Either that or you could just join up ConceptArt.org and challenge someone :) I know that Makk wanted a go.
Okay. :throwing down the gauntlets: I'll accept the challenge :)
Er. From what I can guess, you sign up and then you have to draw/design a character that could woop the other person's character's arse. Is that correct?
Just joined :)
Well at least I know where I stand Camper :)
