$10 Contest for quick sketch

[Mirror]

Hi guys,

I feel a bit guilty only offering ten dollars but here's what I get when I convert all my current Paypal funds to dollars: 7.10 EUR = 10.4816 USD

Basically I'm looking for a tattoo design, which I know is not the norm here, but it's all the same in principal though this is proabably more for people who have an artistic talent that extends beyond the digital age!

A ninja fairy! :D

What's a ninja fairy you ask? Well it's some kind of x-rated cross between this: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/Lesyuna/Anime/Ninja/ninja_anime_girl.jpg

and this: http://blogol.hu/pikz/fasirtka/anime-fairy-sketch_op_648x800.jpg

beyond that you're guess is as good, and probably better, than mine! :)

Hope somebody can have a go at this, thanks in advance!

I'll give this a week by the way.

i might try to make an entry for this one. when will this end?

[Mirror]

One week from today. Looking forward to your entry!

[Mirror]

No takers? :(

[jasoncdu]

mhm.. all the people who are good at drawing these kind of things, are probably not willing to do it for 10$. I would do it, but I don't really specialize in cartoon / mascot designing. Good luck anyways!

That's sweet, nice one! Fancy doing that with more detail? You'll get the ten dollars and a pledge of another fourty when I get home, I'm in New Zealand at the moment, home in ten days.

this better?

haha, i messed up on the legs. they look funny.

[Mirror]

Yes the legs have gone slightly ary on that one! :)

Could I get the sword raised and the legs parted in some way? Also some focus on the ears a la the first link, and slim down the physique a bit? Otherwise it's looking great! ;)

[Mirror]

P.S. The pledge of fourty dollars goes out to all that wish to make an attempt also, though you can see what you're up against so far! Can anyone top that? ;)

[mitcharr]

very nice sketch

[GWK]

hmm, kind of stuck on the parted legs part. what type of leg position do you want her to be in?

[Mirror]

Just like they are in the sketch, but with one leg slightly further forward perhaps?

[GWK]

ehhh

[Mirror]

Yep, though they're still a tad odd looking.

I want you to bear in mind this could end up being a tattoo, but as you can imagine, it needs to be awesome sauce in terms of proportion foremost, otherwise it will just look a bit silly ya know?

here's my try for the quick sketch. feedbacks please...thanks.

[Mirror]

Awesome effort tababongchi!! Really very impressed!

I hate critiqueing hand drawn art, as I'm usually to awed and feel like a complete git when I can hardly draw a stick figure! But I have two requests:

1. As her face is uncovered as opposed to the covering in my example and GWK's drawing, I'd like her to have a more determined, hard expression. Think chick with attitude! :)

2. One or two additions to her apparel/accessories highlighting her ninja persona would be welcome

Again, top work, looking forward to a revision! :D

Talent!!!!

[tababongchi]

http://images.tabulas.com/106262/m/ninja-fairy_copy2.jpg

revised as requested...thanks for the feedback.

to mitcharr...thanks!!! i'm glad you like it!!!

[Mirror]

Truly beautiful work! One more request before what I imagine will be the final product. Can you style her visible ear as per the fairy link?

And if you're willing, could I see her with fish net type tights? Just from the knee up, I like the existing depiction as it is, just thinking the bottom half is a bit empty compared to the fine detail on the top half.

Could be ending this one very soon! ;)

[tababongchi]

please wait for a moment...i will revised it ASAP. thanks.

[tababongchi]

http://images.tabulas.com/106262/m/ninja-fairy_copy3.jpg

here's the revised sketch. thanks.

[Mirror]

99.99% perfect! :D

And that's in comparison to if I were drawing it myself, if I could!

I'll have to leave this contest open a bit longer, in fairness to anyone who may be trying something, or if GWK wishes to respond, but short of that you have won!

Btw, the other 00.01% could possibly be found in some additions to the detail in the wings.

[tababongchi]

hope you like this one. thanks.

[Mirror]

Ah, I'll be honest, I think it looks like a cape now >.<

Everything else is just perfect though.

[tababongchi]

http://images.tabulas.com/106262/m/ninja-fairy_copy5.jpg

how about this?

[Mirror]

No I'm afraid they just look to slick/leather... how about feathered wings? Maybe like here only bigger? http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4882/haibanerenmeirv0.jpg

[tababongchi]

sorry...i just returned the computer here in the office today. not sure if i can make another revision of that. but i will try to draw it in paper and scan it...but don't count on it yet.

thanks again for your feedbacks!!!

[Mirror]

No problem, thanks for the update! :)

[tababongchi]

http://images.tabulas.com/106262/m/ninja-fairy.jpg

here's my latest version. feedback please...thanks.

[Mirror]

I love it all, it's bang on, just the wings, they just strike me as a cape, not far from this let's say: http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/824/824776/hero-showdown-batman-vs-iron-man-20071003035548564-000.jpg

Understand where I'm coming from? They need to be of a different "texture" if you will, and imperfect somewhat...

[tababongchi]

Its a thumbnail of the sketch..as i have drawn it on my printer paper of A4 size..

[Kevin_R]

Very cool, looking forward to seeing the winning sketch.

[tababongchi]

any updates on this one???

[Mirror]

Yes indeed.

@ byyp

Great drawing, again I'm very impressed! A couple of niggles though, her extended leg seems too long for her body... and her arms and hands holding the sword look a bit off. Apart from that though it's fine, though if I'm completely honest, I still prefer the overall look and feel of tababongchis. You're welcome to revising it, and I hope that you do, you're clearly very talented. Thanks again!

[byyp]

Thanks for the appreciation Mirror! I am glad you liked it.:) will be updating it ASAP..working on it right now..So, I have to make her legs proportionate to her trunk and make her arms and hands look appropriate. That happened as it was done is a hurry:p. Will be posting the update here..Give me few minutes.

Edit: Here is the revised version. Hope you like it.:)

[tababongchi]

is this contest not over yet?
haven't heard anything from the contest holder....

[Mirror]

@ tababongchi

You must have missed my last feedback? Can you do the wings?

@ byyp

Excellent revision! She's great now, a real contender! What remains in tababongchis favour is the anime look, which i'm very partial to! Care to revise her, mostly the head/face and hair I think would do it. What do you say? :)

P.S. I am extendeding this contest until the 15th of January, as I will be hopefully using one of your designs the following weekend. Thanks again guys, and best of luck! :D

[byyp]

Thanks for your feedback, Mirror! Yeah, surely, I'll be revising it as said..Now I have plenty of time till 15th Jan.:D

[tababongchi]

okay, thanks for the feedback...i'll certainly make those changes and post it ASAP.

[Mirror]

Thanks to both of you, looking forward to the revisions!

[Mirror]

So how's it going guys? :)

[tababongchi]

sorry...i'm working on the revisions, just got a little busy with work at the office.i will sumbit my entry on or before the 15th.thanks.
