Would \I\ trout you? Or trout anyone in fact, mild mannered individual that I am? šŸ™‚ Iā€™m more than willing to confess though that there isnā€™t much skill involved in drawing the way I do with a PC. The difficult bit (for me) is drawing the initial image by hand. Although most of the time itā€™s a rough guide, not a complete picture. Once Iā€™ve got that basic idea down on paper then I can scan it in and begin to build on it. Iā€™ve found that I just canā€™t seem to get things like proportions right when I draw freehand with a mouse. Especially for things like poeple which I draw a lot. Maybe if I had a Wacomā€¦ :sure: That would be nice. Oh, and guess what. I lied. Have a trout. :trout: ---

no no, as I am not a participant in this contest personally, it would be up to you or kit :beam: And if it WERE up to me, as I said before, the battle was started with the original idea that it would just be Flash and nothing else. ---

Well, Iā€™m off work for the rest of this week, so Iā€™m going to have to post my entry now. After a lot of deliberation (alright, 5 minutes of panic, I confess), I decided to make a cutesy little monster, rather than a scary one. More like a Disney character than anything else I guess. Iā€™m not the worldsā€™ best cartoonist anyway, so this is quite plain and simple. Minimal shading, unlike the style of artwork I usually draw. ![](http://images.deviantart.com/large/indyart/comics/Battle_Monster.gif) ---
