Monthly Art Challenge – WIPs and Discussion Thread – August 2023

[edgarej]

Lol I asked a question without reading what the prompt for this month was… my silly question is answered.

[Yaroslav_Kutrovskyi]

Hello. Explain to a newbie who this Kiki is)

[abhifx]

Mascot of krita. You must have seen in the splash screen

[Yaroslav_Kutrovskyi]

Ah, I understand, thank you)

[Elixiah]

This one is definitely getting me out of my comfort zone! LOL I’ve never tried to draw these type of characters before. They are much more difficult than they look. I need to do more character studies!

Then I think I will go with the colors

[Pyrocult]

WIP got the first draft of my block out.

[abhifx]

This actually nailing the theme

@Sketchy

LOL, these comments are really making me laugh! When I looked up exactly what anthropomorphic actually meant - I took it to mean a horse with human like personality, not necessarily physical qualities.

The first thing that popped into my head was Bojack Horseman

ooh this sounds fun! i do have a question, maybe a bit silly, but are we limited to one type of drawing? can it be an animation or a comic? or just one simple drawing?

[sooz]

I don’t see anything in the rules that would prevent a comic or animation from being included. Although those would not show as well as a static image will in the final poll…

[anon61164405]

oh yeah that actually makes sense! thank you! ill still try to participate, i had no idea monthly contests were being held im excited to see more WIPs

[Corentin]

I’ll personally go for an anthropomorphic horse because I prefer to draw organic things, but I still ask the question for people who prefer mechanical things and don’t think of it…
Is a simple train allowed for a robotic horse? Given the fact that it was nicknamed “iron horse”… There would be things to do with Kiki replacing Donald in that famous Chip and Dale cartoon…

@Corentin

Is a simple train allowed for a robotic horse?

I think that @Elixiah had a horse form in mind when she gave the ‘guideline’ statement

[Corentin]

Fair enough. But I still like the joke!

[Deas]

I guess I am a real Riddick fan. The horse looks like the dog from the movie Riddick (2013). Listening to Testament kind of does it too. I must say I miss using textures as pushing pixels are boring and slow but at least the layers dry fast.

[anon61164405]

that already looks so amazing!! you guys are awesome, i cant wait to see all of these finished! seeing all of the WIPs makes me realize how much of a different direction im going into

[Sketchy]

I love the Riddick movies.

[Elixiah]

ooo, I love the Riddick movies too. But the first “Pitch Black” remains my fav. Come to think of it, there are a lot of screenshots from that movie that would make for some great artwork! Nicely done.

[Sketchy]

I thought of this guy from the Brave Star cartoon: Sometimes he would be a ridable horse on all fours (easy with those imaginations, people!!! ) and sometimes he would stand up and kick ass.
