...And it brought some interesting times for me... artistically. I finally got the courage to enter into some art competitions... hehe! I am pretty excited about the whole thing. I would like to get my art out there more and I decided entering competitions was the best way to go about it.
The first Comp I entered was early Feb . The REVERSE LOVE AND HATE Art comp Sponsored by Madman, the prizes for winning 1 of the top 4 spots rewards the artist with a voucher for credit to their online store. This was a fun project and it took me a couple of days to finish off my entry (See Megaman Loves Willy), I was one of the first to submit something. I was Pretty proud of my piece yknow... but I got a bit of a shock when towards the end of the month (About 3 weeks after my entry was posted and made public) a very similar picture got posted.
Now I know it could all have just been a coincidence, but it just annoyed me that even if the other person had come up with a similar idea, my picture was amongst the top rated so it was easy to see that concept was taken.... but both the lay out, composition and semi look of the characters where similar... c'est la vie
Now to the main event, mid-way through the month I found out that Udon was holding a art competition to fan entries into the upcoming Darkstalkers Tribute Album. I loved the Darkstalkers and though this a God send. I worked day, night and somewhere in between... I was already behind in time since the competition had been running for a full month and the half before I ever got wind of it. My Idea was to have the Darkstalkers Trick or Treating- albeit the obvious joke of having real monsters out at Halloween, I tried to inject the entry with as much of myself as i could. I am proud of it, and I am happy with the direction my art is taking. It would mean the world to get a place in the Darkstalker s history but Even if nothing comes out of it, i know i did my best.
For those who know about the small comic I have been working on, sorry to keep you all waiting, the guy whom i was writing the script with never got around to finalizing dialogue, so i will have to sort something out, but we aware that Asinine creed has not been forgotten and it will be posted very soon.
