My pleasure, Olorc. Since I'll be out of town during most the contest, I won't be competing, but I look forward to seeing what everyone's done with the picture when I get back. Good luck everyone! Note: Cringes at the thought of what pilowswine's version will look like. :lol:

Erm... moved back as in to give us more time, or less time? I don't really mind either way. I haven't quite finished but if the deadline was moved forward I would probably just speed up my efforts. :)

Cool!
Well, I've mostly finished my entry, but I might wait a while and see if there's anything else I want to do to it before posting.
These coloring contests are good -not only are they fun, but we get to see other people's artwork, and when you practice colouring you learn a lot. I know I did when I worked on this pic.
Good on ya for coming up with this competition, Olorc, and I really like the pic, Esoteric. :thumb:

Nice, I have been busy, but plan to get that done. This deadline change will help.

<sees chibi_chan's work, gets excited. Sits and waits anxiously to see who posts an entry first....>

Heh, I mean the fact that nobody's posted yet means you're all doing super jobs right? (either that, or that I made too complicated a picture! :sweat: )

That or we're all wimps waiting for someone to go first. :grin:
Anyway, I've finished so I might as well post. ^_^
Great pic, Esoteric; it was really fun to colour. Challenging and fun.

Ooooo, wow, nice job, photosoph! The stars were a great idea.
Technically though, you aren't the first one to post.... Falcon posted a version, but he put it in the art contest forum. I replied and told him to put it here. Hope he does....

Glad you like it!
Ah well, second is good. ^_^ I hope he does put it here; I'd like to see it. Otherwise I'll just have to hunt it down in the gallery.

Wow -that's cool, Chibi-chan! I like your shading; I find it hard to shade in that style, especially clothing. I really like the way you've done the mask's eyes -and his too. I also like the colours you've chosen for the robe, vest thing and his armor. Dang... I should've done a red bird. It really reminds me of a phoenix. Excellent entry. :thumb:

[quote="Photosoph"] Thanks, Chloe! Have you thought about entering? (shameless plugging) ]
No, I haven't because I wouldn't know what to do. I leave the art to my kids, Chibs and Elric_kun. I'm more the writer-type. ;)

A bird in the hand

Thanks for the redirection.... I finally found where I should have posted this to begin with.

Hey, awesome work you guys, nice colors.

Wow, Chloe, I knew you had kids, but I didn't realise Chibi Chan and Elric_kun were your kids. Cool!

Excellent work, Falcon! And great textures. I really like the way you've got the staff, armor and mask looking metallic -not just in colour but the way you've shaded them. The shading on the blue ends of the robe really stands out; it really looks like silk or satin. I also like the tones of brown, blue and cream that you've used together.

Wow, three nice entries. I wonder who will win <waits pensively>....by the way, who's judging this time?

And where's Piloswine's entry? He's suspiciously absent....
