September happenings

Tue Sep 7, 2004, 4:03 PM
Sharpen those pencils!!!!

Well, it's that time again! I'm still working out the details of the prizes and will have them updated on Monday but I wanted to give you guys the word on the new September theme so you could get started over the weekend if you like.
The Capcom contest was HUGE to say the least and I wanted to do something that would be equally as cool while, at the same time, would challenge everyone to come up with something new and different to draw so here it is!:
Draw ANY character or group or characters. That's it, just draw any character you want whether it's from comics, video games, anime, cartoons, movies, books, WHATEVER!! It could be Spike Speigel, The Bride from Kill Bill, Wolverine, or the entire cast of Sesame Street. It doesn't matter since any character from pop culture is acceptable.
Now here's the catch( come on, you knew it was coming). You have to draw them as MECHS!!! What's a mech you might ask? Well, a mech is one of those giant robots you see in popular anime like Robotech, Gundam, Voltron, or Five Star Stories. All you have to do is take any character or group of characters of your choosing and draw them in a mech form. The only limits are your imagination and the requirement that the character be recognizable in their mech form. And, of course, there are no collaberations allowed for official entries. Any medium is allowed so choose your weapon and get drawing!!
As always, post up your intent to enter here in this thread and, if you have any good links to mech reference, post them here as well to help out your fellow board members.

Just go to [link] and check out the contest and post your intent to enter. If you're not a Drawstick board member yet just register and you'll be good to go!

Here endith the rant.

Spike Spiegel or the Bride as a mech? That would be so awesome. I would participate if I had an inkling of talent, but, alas, I must watch from the peanut gallery. I'm really excited to see what people will submit.

Would love to see the follow-up on this - can you post a link showing the entrants and who won? Hell, I'd love to illustrate something in this theme just for the fun of it, with or without a prize!
