Zen Rider's-Step Yo Game Up Challenge

[Dr.Genocide]

Yo guys what's up? Out there not loving them hoes? Well good for you but that's not good enough!

I think it's about time I gave to the ABR community by offering up a challenge to all my fellow guild members so LISTEN UP!

I'm challenging all of you to get better at our trade. Art.

Now I know some of you are gonna be like, How am I going to get better over the course of some little challenge?

Well I know personally that's it's quite possible to improve greatly in as little as 3 months, and that's how long the challenge is going to run for!

So enough wasting you guys time, allow me to get to the point.

THE CHALLENGE

I would like for those interested to produce any piece of art by Wednesday September 23, @ 11:59p.m.

1 week should be long enough for you guys to bust out something right? And if I feel more time is necessary it will be provided.

This piece can be of whatever you want and done however you want, but remember. The closer to a finished piece you create, the more progress you'll make when this challenge is over.

Now as a part of this assignment I would like for you guys to post up any preliminary sketches you guys work out to build up to this final drawing. I would like for you guys to compile thumbnails, color comps, sketches, whatever you messed around with before did the final image.

This will help me to help to you when we get further into the challenge.

For now I'll leave you guys with the first phase of the challenge, and yes I will be participating as well, hope to see a lot of entries.

Oh but wait there's more =D

FOR PARTICIPATING

Everyone who completes the entire challenge will be given one free commission from me. It's not much, but theres a little added incentive for you guys.
