The competion was hard to judge because we had four or five really good entries. But there must be a winner.

And the winner is: Cartuneman

I enjoyed the simplicity of design. This drawing has great silhouette and an expression on the face which shows us a serious bully beneath his vacant stare. This design would animate very easily. Good job and congratulations.

First Runner up: TimothyB

This entry captured very well, the bully factor. Additionally, it looks like he was in a few fights, ie., the cut-off horn and the cracking of the knuckles, and the patch over his right eye. Congratulations TimothyB.

Second Runner Up: Nanook123

I like the fist shaking and the thundering large legs on the beast. You're drawing with feeling. Congratulations.

Third Runner up: johncbeggs

I like this drawing because of its facial expression and cut-off horn. There's a loose sketching style that makes it very appealing. Congratulations...

The rest of the entries: Keep practicing your drawing skills. You should focus particularly on the feeling of your drawing and not just the anatomy.
Go back and review our Tutorial, Getting the Feeling.

Thanks everybody...

I am third place :), I cant even explain how happy I am right now.
thank you Don Bluth,and everybody else on this site :D

You will be seeing many more drawings from me from now on that's for sure, listening to you when you draw has helped me so much already and I learned a lot about shapes and how they can appeal more if they all work together :)

Like you said "I sketch loosely"
When I am creating a character my pencil just flows with my thoughts , it may be a feeling or a family member or even someone Ive never met just seen walking around. :)

WOW!

First Off I want to congratulate everyone that entered and congratulate the runner ups and Izzy TOO! My Fav is johncbeggs

Thank you Mr Bluth for your constructive and gracious comments. I'm most definitely looking forward to the tutorials!!!!!! This is awsome!

The only thing I've ever won in my whole life was a bicycle and a wagon from my local news paper hahaha wow this is exciting.


I watched everyone's entries and fell in love with everyone's different concepts and it is so much fun to see through other eyes. this allows my minds eye to see so much more. I am curious as to how much research went into everyone's concepts?

Oh wow, I'm so late to the party. For some reason I thought the judging was a week after.

This is very exciting and I'm honored to be a part of this and even make it as a runner-up. Thanks.

Can't wait for the next challenge or competition, it was fun to see everyone's take on developing the character.

EDIT: Looks like my image hosting site went down, so my entry is blank for now until I get to my other computer to upload it elsewhere.

UPDATE: New direct link to my entry while my other hosting site is down:
