I'm up, don't think i've ever gone against raz for anything. when's it due?

[CS]

Ill give it a shot too, just come up with a deadline.

[Brain_Damage]

I was just wondering how come you said that you didnt have time for that topcow drawoff the other guy challenged and then make up your own thread of Red Sonja? Is it cos of this challenge that your too busy to enter that other one?

BD

p.s. just wondering

B.D. = I have a long list of commisions I'm doing and the commission I'm doing now is Red Sonja. which why I couldn't participate in yours. Sorry; but if one of my other commisions is a top cow character then I'll let you know but the next 2 commissions after the Red Sonja, I got are non comic related. But if you can participate in this one your more than welcomed to but if you don't no hard feelings.


As for when its due lets see today is 08.27 i'll give it about 8 days to complete not counting the weekend (sat-sun) so how about:

Friday Sept 6th at midnight.

let me know if think you'll need more time so I can extend it a day or two.

so far we got:

HAHA! You is a hypocrite!! by telling me to mind my own business you have butted in yourself! Your not even in either drawoff so there! *sticks tongue out and walks off smugly....slowly starting to crouch as he realises hes not 12....*

BD :D

[Flipmode]

I'm in on this! I'm gonna have fun drawing Red Sonja!

[razz007]

raz

[Justice41]

[razz007]

Glad to hear it can't wait to see your version.
Geez I didn't realize Red Sonja would bring so many people together for a common cause....unlike my drawoff challenge on Mexican Wrestlers which nobody wanted in on.

raz

[xadrian]

well shoot, justice is in, doesn't leave us much of a chance.

[CS]

you could have at least pretended to work on it a while before you just popped up with it...

was this something you already had, and just fit the drawoff?

At least you showed your hand a week early, so's I can whup yuh.

maybe...

[Sharp]

lol i jumped on this one ..b4 school started and its in the drawing bored :/ lol

[Justice41]

Who me? No I had seen this thread and the top cow thread mentioned in another thread and jumped on it. I may do another action oriented one though so beware. I also did a pic for the top cow thread, but it seems no-one is joining that one.;dvl;

[CS]

no, you stop now.
Thank you.
;)

[Sharp]

you actually did a pic For the top cow drawoff ! lol well what we could do is a face off just me an you...wouldnt b much of a competition..lol but I need the practice tell me what u think

[Justice41]

I'm starting to think The Top cow challenge was meant as a joke and I missed something. I added my response to your question on the top cow thread.:confused:

[Sharp]

no no its no joke its just that everyone was busy @ the time so...me being the idea starter ..person I just scr00d it and assumed no one had the time :D I didnt know anyone was still in srry bout that man looks like were 3 in the running now the poll should b up sometime next week :D

[Bruce]

Hey I was out of town all week just got back last night yet I still found time to draw while I was out of town (I never go anywhere without my tools) I'll be scanning it in today. Hope you can manage to put something out. so far it seems like its going to be a good looking drawoff.

raz

[harrysnuts]

If it is ok, I would like in on this? I did not want to commit to this if I could not come up with an idea and finish. Looks bad if you have to drop out. So if you guys would not mind having me I would love to submit something so I can get an ass wooping. Thanks

[CS]

I have no say-so there, up to raz, but I would assume if you get it in on time its probably okay.
How many entries can we have? Justice was talking about doing more than one, I was thinking I may too... Im not necessarily happy with mine...

[xadrian]

I guess technically I've got 6 hours until midnight so I'll be doing my best to get something done, but it's no great shakes (didn't realize I had a fanbase :) )

[Flipmode]

Dag, I'v gotta drop outta this, I'v got an busy week with school.
That and, rhis sneaked up on me, I thought I had a few more weeks.:D

[Sharp]

http://www.falkware.com/~defector/sharpbabygotback.jpg

theres mine I dont love the background but hell your ur own worst critic....I hope

[CS]

This is NOT my entry, but the more I think about it, I should've just cleaned this up and used it... oh well, Im still happy with my entry, even though it succeeded in my mind in a different direction than this drawoff was intended.

bleh, that was a mouthfull of gobbledygook...
http://nowhereman.blackhand.com/junk/redsonjabw.jpg

a work in progress that will probably forever remain a work in progress:
No, she aint cross eyed, I just never put in the other eye and the hair makes it look crossed :)

http://nowhereman.blackhand.com/junk/sonjacol.jpg

Raz has my entry (I hope) and it should go up when the deadline is over.

[razz007]

As long as I get it before the deadline who ever wants to put something to gether is okay by me and only one drawing will be put up per person so if you've done more than one let me know which one you want up for voting..
And CS yes I got yours in my email. Thanks. (by the way the colored one looks pretty good you should finish it)

raz

[Bruce]

This should be a good draw-off.

[Sharp]

shizzit that colored on is the shit :D nice job

[xadrian]

here's mine, razz should have the link, but i figured everyone else is posting here. ;)

http://www.polariscomics.com/artwork/redsonja.jpg

[harrysnuts]

Thanks for letting me play along. Here is my entry attempt. Good luck to all who entered.


http://www.art-community.com/member/emx22/redsonja.jpg

[xadrian]

let's have that poll razzimatazz

[Bruce]

Should be it then right?
Lets get voting!

[razz007]

cool so far we've got a good number of entries (6 i belive if I counted right) whoreable said he was in so I'll give him till midnight, which is the deadline then I'll start the voting thread with all those who were able to meet the deadline.

tell you what this is going to be a very close drawoff lots of good art in this one

raz

[xadrian]

ah crap, the 10th, i thought it was the 9th. I guess I could redo my background, or go play AOE unti then ;)

[razz007]

go ahead you still got a few hours. But what I see so far it looks really good

raz

[CS]

Enh, I'm too impatient, heres mine.

http://nowhereman.blackhand.com/junk/csredsonja.jpg

closer
http://nowhereman.blackhand.com/junk/csredsonjadetail.jpg

[xadrian]

CS always cracks me up with his closer views. :)

[CS]

its a cheap way of emphasizing the drawing;)

really tho, stuff just loses alot when I scale it down, I like seeing closeups of peoples stuff, so I figgure I should provide them myself

and maybe I can confuse people into more votes...

[whoreable]

Hey can you guys give me a little while? I cant make the arrangement i just started school and Ive totally forgotten, I just wanna post my art in the forum, ill have it done later tonight or tommorow afternoon.

I'm going to post the thread tonight after midnight eastern standard time. If you send me the image before then cool. but if you send it to me after the deadline I'll still put it up for voting but everyone else would have a bit of a head start. I'll make a not on the thread that will read.

" Not all entries are posted. If yo wish to wait till all entries are in to vote then check back if not you can begin voting."

If thats OK with you then no problem just send me the image ore post it in this thread whenever its done and I'll put it in the voting thread. and if its late and people already started voting then I'll put yours as the first image so everyone see's yours first to even things out.

raz

[whoreable]

Thanks Raz, Ive got art class tommorow, hopefully i can toss something up, im sure CS has already beat me no matter but Its for practice i guess.
