Art Challenge 11

This week's Art Challenge: Draw your character as their favorite food.
I decided to make it food they'd actually eat while playing their characters so we're breaking the fourth wall a bit...or something.

Art Challenge 7 & 9

Continuing on the Comic Fury Forum challenges:

Challenge 7: Personality Flop
I basically ran with the idea of  switching Mechan and Llayna's Class, Gender, and Race.

Challenge 9: Highland games

Slightly different than the intention of the challenge I went with a single panel of Mechan at the Highland games

CRAWLERS Spiderman Cameo appearance.

Spiderman cameo appearance

Art Challenge 8 & 10

To save time this time I combined two of the Art Challenges. Challenge 8 of making a movie poster of Crawlers and Challenge 10 to make a drawing with a limited Palette.

The last Crawl- SOPA

"If you can't say fuck, You can't say 'Fuck the government!'"

-Lenny Bruce

I wrote about SOPA before but I want to put a more personal touch on it. Though the danger has passed for now we're not out of the woods on this issue because there is no reason to believe it is gone for good.

If SOPA is passed then CRAWLERS will be finished.

Crawlers doesn't violate any copyright laws. But because I am drawing inspiration from my experiences playing games LIKE D&D, Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro could have my site shut down. I wouldn't get recourse until after the fact.
Because the host for Crawlers, Comic Fury, allows anyone to upload content of their choosing; Comic Fury could be shut down by SOPA. Original content created with video game sprites and toys are common on sites like Comic Fury. Though they are a legal grey area, if SOPA were passed, Comic Fury could be shut down because of some of the users creating work from the work of others.

If SOPA is passed then my political site could be finished.

In the economics section of my political site I have a parody of the famous Burt Reynolds Playgirl shoot. Clearly this should be protected by Parody law. But what if Hef had a beef with me? He could shut down my site and there wouldn't be anything I could do about it because I can't afford lawyers to navigate through the bureaucracy.

Art Challenge 4-6

I have a bunch of old envelopes from the city of Skokie and some color pencils. Here are the results

CHALLENGE 4&5
LEFT: Draw eastern and western horoscope and element. Both happen to be rams but my elements are fire and metal. I drew the rams to reflect that.
RIGHT: Create character based on random character generator. My words were Bully. Dull. Graceful that may be an Orc.

CHALLENGE 6 (part one)

Draw your characters as seasons

LEFT Garzzle as summer. Garzzle likes wearing as little as possible and it literally burns when he pees. Summer seemed like his season.

RIGHT: Xionus is a horder of sorts. Fall is the season where you are supposed to stockpile supplies.0

 Challenge 6 (part 2)
LEFT: Mechan as Winter. Looks the best with a beard and armor. 
RIGHT: Llayna as Spring. She's worn leaves before so it makes sense. My wife pointed out that it rains a lot in the spring so I drew a storm cloud that follows Llayna around. If read Crawlers you'll realize how fitting it is.

Art Challenge 2&3

Continuing with the Comic Fury Art challenge thread...

Challenge 2: Turn Character into a robot
I already put one character from Crawlers in a Mecha. So without over thinking it I made the faerie into a robot.

Challenge 3: Explorer
Starting with the idea of a space shuttle Explorer I decided to create a ship instead of a person. It looked very different than anything else I've seen until I inked it and the marker bled now it looks kind of like the Jim Lee era Blackbird which is funny since I named the ship the Centennial Rook.
