Art Thread: Video Game Rising

[JohnnyUtah]

Oh shit, is this what you think it is? It sure as hell is.

For this round of the monthly Newgrounds "OFFICIAL" Art Contest, we're going a bit broader with the idea to entice those that aren't really into dicks...wait what.

The Rules: We're going all halloween on your ass this month, and its really simple - draw your favorite video game character as a zombie. Now, you're welcome to draw anybody you want, but if you're going the super obvious route with somebody like Mario or Master Chief it better be pretty fucking creative or you have no chance of winning. If you're 13 and don't know what an original "nintendo" is, I suggest you look up those 8-bit games for some character ideas. I'd hate to see 20 pages of shit xbox characters. Characters featured in games on newgrounds are also welcome.

What Not To Do: DO NOT post some 5 second drawing and some little comment about how it took you 5 seconds to draw it - it WILL be deleted. Most importantly, NO BLATANT TRACING. What does this mean? It means you are permitted to use any reference you want, even drawing the character roughly in the same pose. The part that will get you BANNED is tracing a drawing line for line and calling it your own. Yes, if we catch you, you will be banned and ridiculed. The art forum and these contests are meant for fun and to better your drawing skills. Tracing is for douchebags.

You are also welcome to submit as many entries as you want - but you can only win one prize per contest.

The prizes will be the same as last time:

1st: $100 + t-shirt
2nd: $75 + t-shirt
3rd: $50 + t-shirt
4th & 5th: $25 + t-shirt

5 more entries we like will also get shirts.

You have until the last day of october to post your entry.
November 1st, the winners will be announced and a new contest will begin.

That is all. GO GO GO.

A month is just too fucking long guys :o

But whatever, I'm not the one paying for the prizes, I should shut up.
Speaking of prizes, can mods win?

Or are we part of the staff?

Mods are eligible to win. Speaking of mods, myself, stamper and the rest of the staff will moderate this thread. If something gets deleted, we'll take the heat for it.

UTAH, that drawing is fucking sick, but I have no idea what it is.

Care to explain?

It's-a me, bitches.

Way to read the first post?

I'd love to do this, and now I don't have to explain why I'm a drawing a dick popping out of someone's chest.

Just out of curiosity, you dudes use a tablet and Flash to ink your drawings, right?

How long does it take you?
:o
Its really nice and clean, but it looks so fucking long to make. I wonder how long it would take to ink an entire comicbook page like that.

i did everything in about a day, if you got a tablet and pressure sensitivity turned on, you can crank this shit out. you can go back later and smooth stuff out

Anyway, I might do something. But It won't be half as good as any of this stuff.

I use Flash and an Intuos3, sometimes PSCS2, if I need it. Same with the other guys. Takes 3-5 days on average per drawing because I'm anal retentive, especially with my linework - other guys are way faster.

[poxpower]

How long is a "day" ?
4 hours?
8 hours?
24 hours?

Everyone's days vary haha :p

A pressure-sensitive tablet...hmm true :o
That would ink much faster than a pen or a brush, and much better... hmmm.... ctrl+z.... zoom-in...

[Demean]

Ever notice that every drawing that Stamper has contains cocks, nipples, or pussies?

Day as in, work day. 1 day = 8 to 16 hour session depending. I need ways of drawing faster.

Well how come you're so slow?
What takes you the most time? Getting the pose to look right? Do you spend lots of time fixing the face? Do you re-start your drawing over and over? Do you erase all the time? Do you ever smell your own sperm and wonder wh... spend a lot of time re-doing your inkwork? Do you take a break every 5 minutes?

:o
I dunno, I was always really fast to draw stuff. I guess the more you do, the faster you'll become. You've improved a lot over the years, but maybe its just because you put more time into each picture.

[Bug]

Haha wow those are really impressive! I've got a couple ideas brewin already.

[Jenjamik]

I've already got almost no chance... but I need to burn some time till I get my computer.

BTW I love the idea of an art contest each month.

JohnnyUtah wins.

Holy crap how did you learn to draw that good?

I whipped something up for this on my sketchbook, but I have no means to transport it here. Do I get points for effort anyway?

[SardonicSamurai]

Fuckin... Sweet! I am so doing Sam Fisher =D

Also, is it only Video Game characters, or can we do anime too? (though a lot of anime and video games can go together...) =)
