ComicVine Artist Show-Off Showdown #1
"I s this like come up with totally new stuff or take a picture and draw him best you can?
"
Same question.
Is it making a copy or a bran new creation?
zzzzzzz
I'm assuming you can do whatever you want (his normal look, a new costume, how he might look in another universe, or whatever idea you have) since the theme is "any". It just has to be the Joker.
Cool contest Shatterstar.
"I'm assuming you can do whatever you want since the theme is "any". It just has to be the Joker.I don't know if it would be fair; If i pic an exelent pic of Joker I might already have the advantage. Also it would be more difficult to judge, it's what i think.
Cool contest Shatterstar.

What? It's an art contest. Draw the Joker how you want to and people will come and say which one they think is best, yours or someone else's. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding this it should be pretty easy to judge.
"I'm assuming you can do whatever you want (his normal look, a new costume, how he might look in another universe, or whatever idea you have) since the theme is "any". It just has to be the Joker.Everything Buckshot said is right. Its in the artist show-off forums because its showing off your original work. It could be in either this forum or contests I guess, I put it in this one since its where the artists of the forum would be able to find it. It can be based on whatever you want- regular Joker, Dark Knight Joker, zombie Joker, manga Joker, Joker 2099, whatever you want to do.
Cool contest Shatterstar.

Is anyone going to post some art.I have a Dark Knight..Heath Ledger Joker drawn..but if no one is going to post anything.I don't see the point.
If no one else posts then you win by default. It actually makes more sense to post your art if no one else is going to. (Also, there's a week left.)

"If no one else posts then you win by default. It actually makes more sense to post your art if no one else is going to. (Also, there's a week left.)Yea,but I don't want to win by default.I want some actual competition.
"
"Buckshot said:So post and wait until someone else show what they got."If no one else posts then you win by default. It actually makes more sense to post your art if no one else is going to. (Also, there's a week left.)Yea,but I don't want to win by default.I want some actual competition."

I will posting eventually. I've got my idea, I just haven't started yet. I'll get something though, just wait.
"Buckshot said:I will give you some competition."If no one else posts then you win by default. It actually makes more sense to post your art if no one else is going to. (Also, there's a week left.)Yea,but I don't want to win by default.I want some actual competition."

Sketchor I like your joker and none of this is directed towards you, However I was gonna suggest a few things for this show off.
1 I think the work should not be of anything already drawn or photographic
2. it should included the hands which we all know several artist leave off on purpose
3. lets chill on the photoshop stuff. I have much respect for it yet I think we all know its a bit too easy to make something look professional without necessarily displaying pencil skills.
Just my thoughts on the contest I will compete.

"speedlgt said:Exactly. It shouldn't be already drawn anyways, I said above it needs to be an original work started & completed in the timeframe of the showdown. So can't have started it before yesterday, have to finish at some point before next Monday. Going on the honor system here, if someone wants to cheat they run the risk of getting called out & humiliated."Vance Astro said:If you win then you get to make the rules for the next contest.

"I'll go first......
And here...... we...... go.
"
I love it! But then again I've always said I loved Sketch's work :D
"I'd also like to commend Sketchtor for not only having a great piece of artwork there, but for having the balls to be the first to put it up."Agreed.
"TheDrifter said:lol. Fine, I'll try and get something up this week."I might enter this"why not just enter it, rather than tell us that you are considering?
"
You never know, people might dig your style or something you do creatively that will get more votes than Sketchor's. Props to Spider-Pantrelli for showing off his work.
"wasnt vance gonna post something?"I was until I saw what sketchtor posted.Now I thought I wasn't going to have any competition so I whipped something up in like 10 minutes.Now I have to come up with something better.
Okay, its not the best on out there, but i figure i give it a try. I'm only a penciler. So here goes.
