Heads Up - Art Challenges Ahead

My friend Will and his site, Clockwork Machina, are doing an illustration contest of sorts. It's 'oekaki lottery' or Oelotto for short. Each week a new theme will be drawn lottery-style and then people can work on the theme. Results will be posted, another theme chosen, etc etc.

Details can be found here.

Sketches

I've been looking at Sean "Cheeks" Galloway's stuff a lot lately, which got me into drawing some simpler versions of Wolverine and Spiderman than I'm accustomed to. I'm liking the results - especially those that try to portray personality within the body shape, gesture, etc. Spidey and Wolvie are so iconic that the only real way to make a rendition stand out is to tweak those sort of aspects.

My 2 cents.

Working Again

This is more design-oriented, but with an illustrator's...flourish? Logo for a re-occurring event.

Running Turkey

Kinda like "Raging Bull" insomuch that it's nothing like it.

From the Workbench

This one was made for an ad, putting our school mascot "Prospector Pete" into the mix. If you want to see what...erm...inspiration I had to draw from, just follow the link.
