OH MY GOD, everytime I see your piece it because more and more funny the octoshark is amazinh ahah

[CallMeNaka]

Don't.
Please don't draw the teeth!
Please.

[nesokaiyoh]

Omg you forgot to paint his teeth? xD You should definitely keep him toothless, please I love him

[cedricgo]

@Oceane_Roh Haha, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it

@CallMeNaka @nesokaiyoh Well I already painted the teeth, but if you guys think it's better with none I'll just remove them

So I don't know if I'll manage to finish it in time since I feel like I still have a lot of polishing to do, but I'll try my best to make it at least presentable. I'm surprised I even managed to take it this far already XD

[nesokaiyoh]

I definitely prefer him without the teeth, I think he has so much character without them xD Honestly though even with the teeth, both your characters have such fantastic personalities and I can't help but giggle when I look at your piece, it's really bringing in an element that's underused in this competition!

[CallMeNaka]

Without teeth.
But, it's your piece, so who am i to judge.
Any path you choose, dat toothless WIP will be there for us forever <3

[cedricgo]

@nesokaiyoh @CallMeNaka Thanks! I'm glad some people enjoyed this more light-hearted idea

So, it is far from perfect, but I'm gonna call it done.

Thank you everyone who liked and commented. It was fun to work on this painting. I wish you all the best of luck and I hope you all had a great time working on the Artwar this year

[nesokaiyoh]

I love this way too much

It's been great seeing your progress, and glad you stuck with toothless mcgee in the end xD

[CallMeNaka]

Finally i can upgrade my current desktop background
Good job man!
You did perfectly what is this challenge stands for:
Community building

God bless the Octoshark!

[mr_dessin]

This is so funny
But also that pinguin got so much style (that Octo-shark too : 3 )
Could we say Octo-shark granpa ?

Best of luck to you too and see you next year !

[arhityom]

Ahah! This is insane in the best possible way! -)

[malcom]

Congrats on finishing this bro. This is a really fun piece.

[cedricgo]

@nesokaiyoh Thank you so much! I'm glad you've been enjoying it

@CallMeNaka I still can't believe someone would use this as their background XD. Thanks again for your feedback and nice words

@mr_dessin Thank you! Glad you like their style! Yeah, I think Octoshark grandpa is an appropriate name

@arhityom Thanks, haha!

@malcom Thanks man! It's a nice chnage from my usual dark and creepy stuff

Again, thank you so much and best of luck to you all!

The weapon is so Dopee

[anthropon]

This is fun. Nice illustration too.

[cedricgo]

@dreamsequenz Thanks! That means a lot since I don't think I'm good at making weapons

@anthropon Thank you! That's what I was aiming for.

[anthropon]

You totally hit the mark with this one. The color palette and rendering style make it feel like a traditional media book illustration. I hope you find time to make more illustrations with these characters.

[dreamsequenz]

@cedricgo How do I know if my entry has been seen by the judges? Will you look through all of them. Also how do know if I followed all the rules and i am accepted in to the contest?

[cedricgo]

@dreamsequenz Judges will looks through all entries. As for if you followed the rules, I think everything seems to be fine. You seem to have uploaded your final before the deadline, it has the right size, you included the faction emblem. I don't see any issue.

And also, not having the real name of your character in the title is not really a problem, but if it bothers you I should be able to change it.

[cedricgo]

Thanks! It was not on purpose, but I think the traditional book illustration style you mentionned ended up fitting this picture quite well
