A CHARACTER’S TRANSFORMATION
ART BRIEF:
SUBJECT: Any character in metamorphosis.
CONCEPT: This is a challenging one, folks. It’s tough to show movement and process in a static medium like comics art. But give it your best shot!
Good luck!
REFERENCE:
THE RULES:
THE ART CLASH is a weekly art challenge. Each TUESDAY a new Art Clash challenge will be posted. You may work in ANY MEDIA you like, but you must stick to the brief of this week’s Art Clash. And please, no posting old work in the Art Clash. This is about encouraging growth through work, so we expect a new piece every time.
Your final art will need to be uploaded to an image hosting service (here are a few I recommend: Imgur, Google Photos and Flickr) and then may be posted here ANY time until SUNDAY evening at MIDNIGHT (EST). Voting begins immediately afterward and polls close on MONDAY at MIDNIGHT (EST). So don’t miss out!
The artist with the most votes for the week by the close of the polls is declared that week’s winner and chooses the next Art Clash.
***A BRIEF NOTE BEFORE WE BEGIN***
Just a reminder that we’re currently in The Art Clash version 1.1. The primary difference in this iteration is each week’s Art Clash will feature two tiers of competition: sequential and pin-up. Anyone entering can choose to illustrate that week’s challenge in a sequential storytelling form (page templates will be provided here) or as a stand-alone, pin-up-style image. Build and illustrate a story of your own around an Art Clash challenge, or wow your audience with a single powerful image. It’s up to you. We want to foster all levels of creativity here, so this will provide an opportunity for all artists to take their work in whatever direction he or she desires and to whatever degree of finishing.
AWESOME and challenging suggestion, Joe!
It’s been a crazy few days, but I’ll get this set up tonight. I want to try to write a few things about the entries, too. There was some really good stuff this week.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I wanted to post the stages of this piece. Here is how I generally rough in all my pieces. I focus on the characters in an imaginary box, so I don’t have to worry with perspective lines…I just keep it in my head and eyeball it. I’ll go back and tighten up the perspective when I tighten up the figure work.

And the final TMNT piece…I apologize, but I forgot to get stage scans. Ugh. I’ll try to post more like that in the future.

THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
ART BRIEF:
SUBJECT: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
CONCEPT: While you may choose any version of the turtles you’d like, you have to make an effort to express their unique personalities.
Good luck!
