    Hey guys,

    I would like a simple vector drawing (black/white) of a *gorilla* with an IV.

    Theme: "Viral Gorilla"
    Contest Runs: 72 hours

    Gorilla can be simplified version of (example):
    http://bit.ly/gorillasketch

    *Note: I am not requesting a copy of this artist's work. Just a stylistic example. Your version should be a little simpler in line detail, and may have a more cartoonish character. *

    Intravenous similar to the one shown in the following clipart:
    http://bit.ly/intravenousinjection

    I will give detailed feedback to all entrants. I encourage those of you just getting started in digital illustration to give it a shot as well. =)

    Thank-you in advance to all entrants.

    Payment via PayPal only.

    Copyright: To be eligible to win, you must be willing to transfer exclusive copyright of the image to me for unrestricted future use.

    @vectorized: I really like your first version. It has a friendly cartoonish style. But I need the IV (intravenous) stand to be in the picture.

    @masjacky: Great work. I like that he looks grumpy. A viral gorilla could be expected to be a bit grumpy! ;) I just need to see the IV stand in the picture, hooked up to him, to show that he's "viral".

    @all - You guys are both excellent artists!

    Note: Here is the IV stand. It's NOT the person I want. Just the metal stand with the fluid bag and hose hooked up to the gorilla. =)

    @masjacky:

    Thank-you for the update. If you can make the line quality in the IV match the gorilla's lines better, and smooth them a bit so they are not so straight line, I would be willing to suspend the contest and declare you the winner.

    Great work!

    I am now closing the contest early. I have selected masjacky as the winner and I am working with him on some requested revisions now.

    @vectorized: Thank-you for your submission. It was great, and I could have gone either way.

    @everyone:

    If anyone would like to post a sample from their portfolio (illustrations) in this thread, please do so. I will check the replies to the thread and use it to find those of you I may be able to work with in the future on upcoming illustration projects.

    Thank-you! =)

    That's very unfortunate. Thank-you for bringing this to my attention scorpionagency.

    @l3fty: Nice work. I like the version with the gorilla on the laptop.

    masjacky has provided me with a new version. I'll work with him to resolve the issue since the contest has already been closed. =(

    That's really a shame, it looks like a case of straight out plagiarism
