Sketch Charlotte » John http://www.sketchcharlotte.com A collection of artists and writers in Charlotte, NC Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:10:10 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 Sketchercise foo!! http://www.sketchcharlotte.com/2010/08/sketchercise-foo/ http://www.sketchcharlotte.com/2010/08/sketchercise-foo/#comments Sat, 21 Aug 2010 21:53:26 +0000 John http://www.sketchcharlotte.com/2010/08/sketchercise-foo/ Since I announced the theme, it would be rather uncool not to participate in it (ahem, ~T)

This is Kalbi. As lead vocals of the Korean Short Ribs, he rocks the stage on the mystifying Keytar. His supernatural ability to transform time and make chumps dance the robot style’ has made him a huge star in the underground dance clubs. He was Ramona’s beau during the tweaner’ years before she realized the 80′s sucked.

Prepare to conquer a contest of epic epicness! In “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” Scott learns the hard way that a faint heart never won a fair lady when he finds out that he must battle the 7 Evil Exes of the object of his affection, Ramona Flowers. As if he didn’t have his hands full already, we’re challenging you to create Ramona’s 8th Evil Ex! Is this person a lady or a gentleman? Does this nefarious Evil Ex plan to kick Scott’s butt with a sword, brass knuckles, or mystical lightning powers? Cause as much trouble as you can for our hero and show us an 8th Evil Ex who is a force to be reckoned with!

Your tools: The epic art supplies of your choice. Pencil? Mouse? Watercolor? A giant mallet with paint on the end of it? Knock yourself out! Okay, poor choice of words. Go nuts.

Your winnings: Check it below, pal.

This is Raiko, one of the characters in my japanese – inspired fairy tale- for Kids…  The posing seems a little off, but this isn’t going to be used for anything special.  Done in Illustrator CS3 in about an hour.
