$50.00 Cartoon Contest!

    Hey guys,

    I need a cartoon of a "gangster" or "thug" with a nice pose and maybe a hat.

    It is simple. I need it to be about 500px tall, and any width is fine.

    I'm going to pay $50.00 for the best one.

    I am new here, but I will honestly pay $50.00 for it. You may tag the drawing with your name on it, and I will pay $50.00 AS SOON AS I see the drawing.

    First off, thanks so much for taking me seriously and taking your time to do this.

    Not to be stereotypical... But that looks more like a hispanic thug, and I'm looking for a black thug...

    Try a little bit darker, and with the face showing more, is that possible?

    Just read your feedback on the other members entry & saw you wanted a darker thug, is this one dark enough or do you need darker tones?

    I'm going to PM some of you with more details that I can't post in here.

    By the way... I can POSSIBLY up the prize to $100 if it looks great. I have to ask the client, but he seems pretty flexible.

    Thanks for the feedback Via PM. Seeing that I have to start all over from scratch to achieve the positioning you requested, I probably won't be able to get a finished concept till late tomorrow afternoon (Central standard time).

    in addition, did you want the logo text done with it too, or just the character without the text?

    Updated version. Anything is possible and colors are easy but to make his face show more I'd have to rework that whole top half.

    So if your interested in choosing my entry I'd be more than happy to!

    Hi I was thinking of entering. Are these the type of gangster or thug that you had in mind ? I guess they are more of a modern type gangster ? Not what I had envisioned in my mind. Just checking I didnt want to draw something the wrong style.

    a4hire,

    for the people who have already started, continue to make them how you were.

    i just got a call from my client and he said he might want a baby with a fat belly, and a pose with his arms crossed, and maybe some shoes...

    i will show him both types that are submitted, and there is a 50/50 chance of what he will pick, i can't relly say.

    but he's very happy with where we're going so far.

    thanks a lot guys!

    btw, i just finished a contest (only for a $4.00 prize), but i paid, and the contest is completed. i promise the winner will be paid here.
