Ok, a picture that good NEEDS an EPIC backstory, so here it is,: Solar Rainbow Iro Kenshi is on a Quest to find his kidnapped lovers (namehere) and (namehere) who were kidnapped by (namehere)!
Or whatever Jeimuzu says!
(yeah, I’m in a funky mood! still great pic!)
@ Randall Yes, you did call it a tattoo, but with each figure no more than 3 and 1/2 inches on my monitor, a lot of details were lost! If I had seen the lines on the wing, I probably would call it a tattoo. I was not looking at the description when I wrote. (Who cares, the ref is blind anyway!*)
* I’ve always worn “coke bottle” glasses, ever since my dad used a full sheet of paper to teach me how to right the letter A.
Thanks!
. . . Randall, I would’ve taken that for a fresh wound right above the jawline by a shaped club like a robot hand, so I would’ve thought it wasn’t just blood or a tat. Good reason for clarification. The color was just right for that.
An extra half-point to whoever tells me which hero and heroine faced these ‘obstacles’ close to the climax of the hero’s final successful gambit.
Due 2/10/17 3pm, hopefully to be judged by 8pm. Here’s three:
I’m not complaining nor asking for a re judgement, but I did specify that one wing was used for Gilda’s tattoo. Not Blood. I can see how it can be mistaken for blood though, and we all are ready for the next contest so I won’t hold anything up. I do want to thank you for your compliments Keric. Congratulation Herr D.
Randall and Herr enter the ring, only one will leave to judge the next contest!
First off, the Last time I judged, Randall had a construction issue~ I do not see that this time, GJ!
story score: …..H4…..…R4 Yeah, on an overall level, without pieces to judge by, I would be at a tie!
FEATHERS:………H5 used as leaves…..…..R3 used on hat
SKELETAL WING:……………H5 used as poker….…..R5 used as blades
“SCOOTER” WING : ….…H4 used as helmet..…..R2 used as blood
other pieces ………….….H4 Convey your idea well..……R5 There are pieces used in ways that I would use them
total ………….…H22 ………….…R19
Herr D leaves to judge the next contest! congrats pick 3!
Thanks for the comments! I’m glad to hear the box coat redesign turned out well.
I always use google images to get ideas and then for reference. There’s something about 40s clothing design I really like, and I’ve had to get creative with masking to get the silhouette and look right.
And I love film noir, so it was fun playing around with shadowy effects.

Holy moly. That sword looks amazing, and so does everything else- the hair, the rainbow in the background, the shadows, the haze on the horizon, all of it
Holy expletive.
I could spend a very very long time talking about everything that I love about that picture. But I can probably shorten it to one sentence: Everything about that picture is beyond description.
