Request a Rainbow Brite Doodle
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 2:17 am
So, since it seems like the fanart contest is on a longer hiatus than perhaps we expected, I've been itching to do more RB drawings. I could work on my comic, I suppose, but that requires a bit of re-writing first, and I don't really want to do that at this time in my life - new job and such. So instead, I was thinking I could open up a new thread and start taking requests for little doodles. They'd just be pen and ink, very rarely any colour and nothing fancy, but it's a chance to see an idea given some illustration. The requests could be old fanart contest entries that didn't get picked, ideas you couldn't submit for it because of the content - more than one character or some such like that - or new ideas.
I don't want to put any restrictions on it just yet, but I'll just say that I'll be the one picking and choosing what I draw, and it's most likely that not all of the suggestions will be drawn, and some may not be drawn as they were originally requested - I may pick and choose things from a suggestion to draw, combine a few, or add my own ideas on to the suggestions.
They'd be very simple, almost never with a background; though props or background pieces that are interacting with the character - sitting in a tree, for instance, or picking flowers - could be drawn. I have no issues with doing more than one character in a picture, and I'm fine with any of the characters in any of the episodes or the movie. The idea of this is that it's a drawing excercise for myself, practice for my picture books and drawing overall.
Oh, and if there are other artists out there feeling the same restlessness in the lull with the contest, feel free to draw from the suggestions made here as well!
Here's something I doodled tonight. I'm starting to think I could draw Rainbow Brite in 100 different styles and all of them would be more aesthetically attractive than the redesign. But that's just my opinion.
