Just went the traditional route on this and added some hunting gear on her.

[Locoduck]

Ursula doesn't stand a chance. LOL. Nice work as usual my man.

Nice Vibe to yours as well Pash!!! Like the innocence and non traditional approach.

These drawoffs are alot of fun and good practice. I think I'll give it another try

Much agreed! I think I will too...so much school work though, I don't think I'll have the usual finished look...:(

But my sketch is already done. :D

The entries already are looking mighty hot! :har:

[shadowyzman]

Erik Roman you just stole the show!!

[mysterionB]

I think they're all pretty good! Eric Romans just kicks the most ass!

( Maybe, next time, I should take a lil' longer to work on mine ... aaahh hindsight! )

[NGoff]

Erik Roman you just stole the show!!

Maybe you shoulda waited till last minute to post it, Erik! You most likely chased some potential entries away! ;)

I think I'll sit this one out....:p

-Nicole =)

P.S. Absolutely stunning work! What kinda pencils? You handle them very well...shading, lighting, texture, color choices...everything. Now if it was finished...I think I'd go blind from the intensity...

NICE ONE ERIC!!

Im voting for yours and I'm entering mine in too.

[raya]

Eric, that is a great picture! It reminds me of those old Sci-fi/fantasy books I used to get at the bookstore (had paintings of dragons, etc). :kewl:

[Jasen Smith]

I dont wanna point a finger but it looks like shes passing gas saifu. :D

[Siafu]

Yeah, was trying to be cute and funny with the bubbles from the sea floor volcanic ejection port. Never thought of her eating some bad sushi...

I have to agree tho, above all else, I think Erik is going to win this hands down.

[NGoff]

Well...there's always 2nd place. And 2nd place is 1st place, if the winner never showed up in the first place. :laugh:

It is great to still see people posting, though! Maybe I won't be a chicken...I think I might post mine too.:whistlin:

Arthur Adams called, Vector. He wants his mermaid back. :har:

[Gwlister]

oh...and I see a tie. Roman for technique, style and rendering....and Chaosgoat for thinking outside the box. :kewl:

[NGoff]

Has the voting started already? :blink:

Geez, ya'all are harsh! Can't even give those who haven't entered a chance, eh? No faith... :p

[Mark H]

These Draw-Offs are friggin sweet! Is there going to be one every week or so?

[vector]

I know I'm coming off sounding like a total dumb butt here, but who is Arthur Adams and what does he have to do with my sketch? ANYBODY?

Steve :yawn:

Art Adams is a professional comic book artist. I guess your style resembles his.....sorta

[Gwlister]

LOL

okay...if you SERIOUSLY don't know who Art Adams is, have a taste of his work:Art Adam's work (http://home.pacbell.net/adbm3/aabook4.jpg)

Your styles, at least based on your mermaid art, is so uncannily similar, I find it hard to believe he/his work hasn't had some kind of influence on your work.

[Gwlister]

Well...I think it does. Sorta. :har:

[vector]

Thanks for the sample of art adams! I probably have seen his stuff before, style wise I'm honored, But I always tried to be orginal as possible! Thanks for the comment Gwlistler!
