As long as there’s a web viewable version for the final entry. 🙂 Mine is a group picture as well. :beam: ---

What: Line Art Battle Subject: “Legend of Kirupa: The RPG”. Please make sure your entry reflects this theme in some way, and is also in the anime / manga style. Software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks, Freehand - any art package. You can colour in (if you want colour) however you wish. Extra Rules: To be drawn in a manga / anime style, though does not have to be coloured if you don’t want. Hi (1) can I draw it by hand, then scan it in and touch it up with photoshop? :sigh: (2) By the way I know Kirupa (the guys who founded the site). But what does “RPG” mean? Role playing game? (3) Could the theme just be - make up an RPG character? Thanks ---

hi 🙂 1. personally, I drew out my character in pencil and then inked him in photoshop. Im not sure you could get away with a pencil drawing that’s just been “touched up” 2. Yes, RPG is role-playing game. It’s not limited to Kirupa himself - it can be based on anyone on the forums. but they have to be kirupa-related… if you see what I mean 🙂 3. No. In a word 😉 ---

" 2) Yes, RPG is role-playing game. It’s not limited to Kirupa himself - it can be based on anyone on the forums. but they have to be kirupa-related… if you see what I mean" Sorry I’m actually a bit lost :sigh: “kirupa related”?, can you give me some examples 🙂 Thanks again ---

Like my entry, it’s based on Kitiara a [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) moderator. Your drawing have to be base on people or anithing that is connected with [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) thus kirupa-related! 🙂 ---

You can have a background if you want it, but it’s not required. You can have characters, but they’re not required. 🙂 Basically, it’s however you interpret the theme. 🙂 ---

Surely you’d lose if you didnt have a character? 🙂 ---

Not if you had some spectacular way of interpreting the idea without having characters. 🙂 I can’t think of one right now, but I’m sure there must be a way. 🙂 ---

Blah! Working on it. Anything against multiple submits? I’m actually trying to do it like a full product, box art, screen shots of gameplay and/or menus, etc. Perhaps submit the bundle as one entry? ---

Just picked up a copy of “Even a Monkey Can Draw Magna 1” this weekend. It really doesn’t focus as much on technique, but it was a very funny, if not completely too honest look at various types of Magna. One thing I found that really helped out of that book was the panel that they talk about figure drawing, and that pretty much any pose you would ever need to know about has already been drawn. Find a source and use it as reference if you can’t draw bodies.
