Contest Length: 4 days Winner to receive: $25 Looking for an ORIGINAL Cowgirl character (full body) holding a glass of wine. Cowgirl should be wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Should look good "full color" as well as "black and white". I'm NOT looking for a "cheezy cartoon". I'm looking for something more upscale and sophisticated. This was the closest thing I could find to describe what I'm looking for: http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/catalog/iabeveragegirl.JPG Obviously it would need to be modified to look more like a cowgirl with boots and hat.
I had SOO much fun with this but I know it borders on too cute ...so ... I'll let you give me your opinion and I'll go from there! My sister's also going to enter this one!
Thank you so much MR Colin I really appreciate that. I like to design characters - it's just so much fun *crossing my fingers* I'll make an attempt at your contests also but not when it's 1AM - my brain won't allow me to complete an awesome enough entry
If there's something that could be changed in your illustration it is the glass of wine, the wine inside should not look this way since the glass is tilted, the wine inside should have its surface flat relative to the ground. Parrallel I guess is the correct word.
Very nice indeed. Although I'm looking for something a little less "cartoony" and more shic/sophisticated/sexy. Also, the girl probably needs to have on shorts or a mini-skirt and maybe a tanktop to sexy it up. With that said, I checked out your website and think I can use you for another project coming up!
Alright! I'm working on a second entry right now. I appreciate the comments/suggestions! And very cool on the second project, too
Okay here's shot number two at this: @Desireejoy - can't wait to your entry! (My sister is going to give this one a try, too. I referred her to it becuase it's her natural style
@Pratic - that's a really nice looking character! I don't see a lot of other illustrators here, so that's cool. I like the pose and lips and the original color of whine - looks almost like lemonade (which is a nice country feel). Also, it's cool that your icon is "Desi Creatives" - that's what I call my sister, well, the Desi part is And she IS creative. Very cool.
Thanks for your comments Anderson... Much appreciated.... The term "Desi" here in India means Local... You address country people or local people as Desi.. hehe... Looking forward to the entry from your sister as well... nice work all in all...
India- very cool. I have seen shirts that said "Desi" on them before and I had no idea what it meant - but I got her one that was a spoof on Intel that said "Desi Inside" with their old logo - it was pretty cool. Anyhow she's almost done with hers and maybe by then we'll have some other entries, too.
Contest will end on Sunday, Sept. 4th at 12 midnight. Since Monday is a holiday ( Labor Day ), I will announce the winner on Tuesday.
Very cool - this is my faaavorite type of contest by far - character design. I might do another one just for fun though I think between these entries you probably have one you like!
Another entry, I like this one way better. Photoshop and I get along so much better for Illustration then flash
