My "Circus" entry

Well, the contest is now over and it did better that I'd expected, yay 4 me :D.
A final update to this post with the link to the finished pic.

Major setback, I've lost the original in a PS error (damn I hate those errors), so I don't know if I'll make it

Only 12 hrs left until the deadline, guess i should start painting :(

A minor update, I've blocked some of the colors. I'm having bit of a dilemma on the skin color, I think I'm gonna go with the left, greenish tone.

Here's a rough sketch of the main character, not sure if I'm going to go with has-been strong man or has-been clown, I'll decide later on when I add some decor pieces.

Critiques and suggestions are highly appreciated :)

Circus Sketch

Anything you guys like, dont like, any advice, critique, anything?

The following is just a sketch, i still need to ink it and color and stuff.



I call it "Fired"

And sorry i didnt mean for it to be life size. :p

First off, a big WOOT for the new beginner illo contest, hope to see you all post an entry.

Second, since we're all here to improve, I propose a series of weekly challenges to help us enhance both our drawing/coloring skills and our imagination.

I'm thinking of something like draw a pose, create your own character... stuff like that. A brief tech documentation will be given for each challenge, when required, so you'll know how to do it.

We could each take turns inventing challenges, so everybody can get the exercise that they want.

So, what do you think?
