The Battle of Beethoven

Share

"It was here on the Beethoven fields, where the Tyrannous King Qualapoopantoff fought his last battle against the Super Thunder Fox Team. He was so desperate to win, he recruited the entire Orc army of Orcland to fight for his right to be king of the Swoss Empire, in return, he promised the Orcs a whole bag of Buttons. A fair bargain indeed"

They are attacking, it's the Orcs (left) against the Super Thunder Fox team (right), and boy was it a battle!
and don't worry, there are plenty more drawings to come :D

Buttons as payment? no wonder they started a Coup d'état and Tyrannous King Qualapoopantoff was killed by his own men.

JJCripps1996 responds:

Who said he was killed by his own men? What ended up happening was his head was bloody punched off by Skull, and with no leader, the Orcs just went back to Orcland, waiting for another evil overlord to command them.
And Orcs fucking love buttons, seriously, just chuck a load into a crowd of Orcs and you've started a mosh pit full of flesh hungry monsters and buttons.

Whoa, now this is interesting! A burst of activity on the page, great job!

I admire the cartoonish felt-sketch style and, despite the white space and such, the angle of all the random creatures and figures, with all their crazy expressions, makes this a fun piece of art. Like Bobie says, this is one of those pieces where you enlarge it and just stare at it, picking out every monster, building or otherwise. It's like everything in the piece has a little personality of its own.

The only nitpick (well, more of a suggestion) that I have is that the space under 'The Battle of Beethoven' text could have been used to slot something else in, like some huge abomination in the distance or the silhouette of some sort of background (mountains, buildings, planets, etc.)

Still, I love the wackiness of the concept and your description was equally as eyebrow-raising (but still fun). Keep up your art, man!

4.5 / 5

JJCripps1996 responds:

Wow! Thanks! Yeah, I guess the only reason I didn't colour in any of the floor or background was because I wanted to bring the attention more to the characters and vehicles and such. That white space has been bothering me a lot, I may put something huge and monstrous in, or like you said a background. Thanks for the advice, you may see this piece updated with that darn space filled in!

i just zoom in and look at it for like 5 whole minutes.

JJCripps1996 responds:

Haha, I'm taking that as a compliment, I end up looking back at my drawings for ages, noticing little things I forgot about, going to myself "Oh yeah! I remember that!"
