Hey Dtoiders, Just a quick introduction. Been a long time lurker here, like Robert Summa old, and this site has enlightened and entertained me since then. I've tried a
couple times to integrate into this crude and lovely community with mixed results.
So on to business: I made a drawing for my brother as a Christmas gift. He loves Dragon Ball Z and has been catching up on his 90s Spiderman so I thought to combine the two because of reasons (Drawing below).
I like how it all turned out but there's one glaring issue you may or may not have noticed: there's no color! That's my achilles heel when it comes to these things, coloring and shading, I just can't fucking do it without making the drawing look like ass chowder. So I turn the image to the Destructoid community: open contest until December 24th at 12:00 pm (Central) to make this bitch sparkle with all kinds of hues and colors and stuff.
The winner will get any game of their choice (up to 60 dollars + tax). US entrants will get it shipped, international contestants: we might have to work something out online.
If you want a larger version of the drawing (1676x2188) then shoot me an e-mail at: sizzlemebacon2@yahoo.com
Also, I apologize in advance if this qualifies as a forum post rather than a cblog but I figured that because it was a contest it would be alright. If it's really infuriating a bunch of people I'll move it to the forums but for now CBLAWG!
Thanks man, I'm sure you can color better than me!
I hope this post doesn't get buried before anyone else has a shot at it though : /. Fingers crossed for a cblog recap!
Maybe you should emphasize the FREE GAME!! part to people, they might be skipping over your blog because of the mention of DBZ. Something like "Coloring Contest - Free $60 Game!!" might draw more attention. Just a thought.
Try posting it in the appropriate section of the forums, too, it couldn't hurt to get more exposure. Just make sure you follow the forum rules and do an intro thread, etc., and you should be fine.
That's actually excellent good advice, I think I'm just going to steal your title word for word if you don't mind. Putting in the forums is also a damn good idea. I wish I was smarter, do you want to be my brain for a couple days, you know, just for when I have tests and stuff?
@Occams
Thanks I might make this a thing where I put up one of my drawings each monday, they're usually video game related (or at least inspired) in some way so I don't think it'd be to out of line on here.
@Elsa
That's too bad, but thanks anyway.
Yeah I did a Lion's mane doing something similar and tried to color it myself and just died a little inside shooting for all those pieces.
