Wow, you must have been very busy.

Well, I only really familer with Dante and Waugh out of that bunch.

Last picture here.

Take note of the difference in quality used to write the words SWORD SINISTER at the top and the words EXCESSUS in red at the bottom. This was when I had finally worked out how to type text onto the picture.

This is my Thoth spoof on the poster art for the Alien movie using 'Paint'.

I was wondering when are we gonna wrap this one up and start the next one?

What is the next one goona be.

Zenith, AntWars, Black Siddha, Low-life.

Cool, Yeah I would like to see more of that when you've addded the textures and sword fighting.

I was thinking levitating in mid air cross legged....

This will be my very last picture for the Nemesis art work competion.

I hope this gets past the censors. It's not like 2000AD isn't partial to abit nudity. Well atleast it's tastful.

I have fixed the mouth guards on Torquamada, and DeadLock. Looks alittle better if you would all notice the difference. They don't look so much alike now. I still can't get the demensions right, though.

I would be putting this picture up earlier, except my internet connection wasn't working earlier this morning.

My computer decided to disconnect with the internet when the plug for router fell out. I plugged it back in  and it still wouldn't go anywhere. So I turned it off for while thinking that I might have pull all the wires, cables, cords out and reconnect them. Anyway  it's working now. This all happened just as I was about to upload my finished picture again.

I like the gothic victorian age sketch of Purity Brown and Nemesis in a top hat. Nice detail.

McWild
 I admire the animated Nemesis. He does look very sneaky the way you have done him. Though, the walking animation doesn't really do him enough justice. I would have him taking longer, slower steps.

Here's the bigger.http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g136/POLAROIDDUDE/TDNONEREALLYBIGG.png">

It's been about three or four hours uploading the bigger version of my last picture.

It's only slightly larger though. Of course I didn't bother changing it to a JPEG. I still haven't quite figured out sizing difficulties with it yet. I think Photobucket is radomising the dimesions. Although I have noticed that it's only the pictures that I do soully in paint that show up on these pages at a descent size.

I see what you mean about me drawing all three faces in a similar way. I absent mindedly left the mouth guards of Torquemada and Deadlocks as white as Nemesis's teeth. I'm see if I can fix that also. It was untensional, though. I 'm not like trying to imply that Nemsis's face is actualley  a helmet also.

Thsi time around, I think I will be nominating McWild's colourried Nemesis, Wolly's colouried Torqmada wearing red robes and I'm not sure whom else.

I better also nominate somebody who's done a very good pencil/ink sketch as it is. It's alot easier to improve the qulaity of a picture by adding colour amd shadow to the right parts of itdespite how it's drawn. Not that I saying any of the colourised ones are badly drawn. I just mean there are alot very good basic sketchs being submitted here that are being outshined by the colour ones.

Yeah, I did blur it abit on purpose, but not too much. You may also notice that it has a slight mosiac look about it. That was alittle something else I did to it when I had finished painting it.

I used a different variation of this with the Blitzsphere drawing to give the impression of it rushing towards the viewer.

Blur isn't alwsy the most effective tool, it only works well with certain pictures.

The Blurring and Mosaic tools cover up alot of the inperfections that can't otherwise be hidden.
Please let me know if the Blurring should be removed.

The picture itself, I copied from the last panel of Book Five of Nemesis the Warlock. So it was drawn by Bryan Talbot originally and uncolured . I don't think I might have sucessfully drawn Nemesis at all if I didn't copy it as it was.

Originally it was just going to be Torquamada and Nemesis the Warlock. Throth was in the original panel floating crosslegged in mid -air between the two faces. I left him outr of course. Later on I decided to add the face of Deadlock.

At the moment I am currently waiting for a larger version of this same picture I have done to upload.

I guess this will be my last submission before this competition is closed.

It's also my first attmept at drawing Nemesis himself.http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g136/POLAROIDDUDE/TDNONEBLURRED.png">

If you have drawn/sketched/painted your picture without using a computer, you will need the use of a scanner to transfer it from paper to the hard drive of your computer.

Once it is in there you will need to set up your registration at Photobucket.com. Then just browse, look for and choose the picture from it's location in a file folder or on the desktop and submit it.

This may take alittle while depending on internet traffic.

It should appear in the album they have supplied for you under your Photobucket account name.

Just click on it there, to view it in all of it's glory. You may need to resise it as it may be to small or too large. I think any picture  bigger than 300 by 300 will be automatically resized into a image too small veiw properly. When storing it on Photobucket.

So you may have to re-open the picture using the image viewer software like Paint or something similer. May need to change the picture format to JPEG. Any forat that takes up less memory without reducing it in size too much. Once the dimesions are right. Submit it again to Photobucket.com. Keep doing this until it's just right and then delete all the others.

Click on the picture again. Then when veiwing it, right click on the picture and select it's properties at the bottom of the panel. Right click and copy the URL address of your picture. and then just paste it in the optional image URL box  ( The third box down.) here under this topic in the forum here.

All going well it should appear.

My artistic flourishes and scratchings should improve very rapidly as I had pick up a copy of Glenn Fabry's 'Anatomy for Fantacy Artists'. What better way to draw in the modern pop art way of comics then to actualley read step by step intruction from a former 2000AD artist themself.
