COMPO CORNER

[kingandy]

Some may be aware that in the Maelstrom postal pack was notification for an art contest of sorts. Naturally, I have decided I will be entering. Below are the first three drawings I knocked up this evening while Channel 5 showed me the Top 50 Greatest Embarassing Television Moments Of All Time. Hot off the presses - I have not even rubbed out the pencil lines because the ink may not be dry yet. Fuck you, scanner pane!

I don't know which of these I'll submit, if any, but I figured people might be interested.

	Tree It's a dryad, man - design heavily borrowed from DC Comics' Jason Woodrue (The Floronic Man).
	Snake Snakeman ("Ophidian"). I have no idea what their feet actually look like. It is ARTISTIC LICENSE>
	Cat It's supposed to look vaguely like a Wemic Mona Lisa. Really fucking vaguely.

Obviously they're all good, but i think the Dryad might be crossing genre's a little. He looks a bit too 'super hero' if you know what i mean. He almost looks as though he's wearing a mask.

I'd go with the Ophidian, it's very fantasy and is in a more natural, less artificial pose. He's actually doing something, and can be used to illustrate a skill description as well as a racial physrep.

"He looks a bit too 'super hero'"

Have you seen the IC almanac?

Yes, none of them were wearing masks to protect their secret identity.

Anyway, my comments are supported by all others (except Kmazzy). Go with the Ophidian.

I have no idea what the terms of teh competition are, but i imagine it's a call for more art they can use.

So, static portraits are good, but active poses are better. Go with the Ophidian.
