Cartoon characters?

Would <i>I</i> trout you? Or trout anyone in fact, mild mannered individual that I am? :slight_smile:

I’m more than willing to confess though that there isn’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 it’s a rough guide, not a complete picture. Once I’ve got that basic idea down on paper then I can scan it in and begin to build on it.

I’ve found that I just can’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 Wacom… :sure: That would be nice.

Oh, and guess what. I lied. Have a trout. :trout:

I fancy a wacom too…

is the Trust version of the same thing any good ?

Trust stuff be cheaper for starters…

Ok well since Ilyas and Kit are both mods in this battle I am going to say…

Once you decide on something, one of them can edit the rules thread with the update :slight_smile:

Oh, come on Lost, it’s your call, really :beam:

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.

yea thats tuff…i can barely draw by hand so drawing by mouse is simply outa the question!! =)

hears calls from crowd "[SIZE=1]SHUT THE $%@# up with the excuses MAK!![/SIZE] "

I’m done! :beam: Has anyone else finished?

still not started yet :wink: spent most of my weekend trying to hack a pda to connect to the net thru my mobile…

I have to confess that I haven’t started yet either. Oopsie.

I have got a vague idea trolling round my head, though I’m not sure if I’ll be able to pull it off by the 23rd… Ah well, we’ll have to see.

i have an idea too, will be building basics today or tonight methinks…

I drew up a small image… Mine is suppose to draw humor… Not skill… Which is why I created it… So…

Yeah I’ve been donefor a while and I’m ready to post mine when you guys are…

Later On

I’ve only just started mine about 5 minutes ago. :smirk:

Hopefully he’ll be something different to everyone elses’… I seem to have gone in a complete different direction with the pixel battle, so we’ll see what happens here… :slight_smile:

Well, I’m off work for the rest of this week, so I’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. I’m not the worlds’ best cartoonist anyway, so this is quite plain and simple. Minimal shading, unlike the style of artwork I usually draw.

mine’ll go up tomorrow, tough act to follow though kit :smirk:

Not really… like I said, " a cartoonist I ain’t". :slight_smile:

this isn’t quite what i had in mind…

OK, I cheated, I did the face and the torso by hand and then scanned it. And it looks more like a bad guy than a monster :-\

AJC >> :stuck_out_tongue: Looks like a badass monster!

OK, I can’t attach swf…

And if you really want to know, I’ve just watched ā€œThe Princess Brideā€, and that’s how I imagine the Dread Pirate Roberts :crazy:

haha, that’s well cool =)

i should have made this a lot dfamn harder and demanded that the characters be animated…

i can animate mine hehehe
