Ok, I hope I'm not stepping on TFC's toes, but Tordeck and Vector were whining like a bunch of little babies about another Illustration Activity. ;) So, here we go, I hope you like the topic.

[size=14]Illustration Activity Series B #1[/size]
For this activity you must draw yourself as a Super Hero and your Secret Indentity. But, off course it's not that simple.
Super Hero - Think of what makes you unique and make it a super power. So, if you're captain of the football team, maybe you make youself like the Hulk. Yeah, bad example, but I'll expect you guys to be way more creative.
Secret Indentity - This is not as simple as making you in reality. I want you to think of all the things you try to hide and keep from the world. Maybe you have a sick fetish for teapots, I dunno, but I want you to really make yourself look bad. Get comfortable with your short comings and draw them exaggerated. Also, try to work in a weakness, like Kryptonite to Superman.

The point is to explore your personality in a fun way and learn how to exaggerate in your art. So, be honest and dig deep. Another application for this activity once your done is the Sketch Battles. Maybe you could use your super persona as yourself in a battle. Hell, you could even use the character for the walk cycle comp (as long as Adam oks it ;) ) Below is the drawing I did that made me think of this activity. It's not good on the super hero side because I didn't make it personal. But the nerd side works well. Anyway, have fun and get crackin!

EDIT: If you're so inclined, you can make yourself a Super Villian instead of a Super Hero.

You can blame Humble's blatant abuse of his powers on that one. j/k, it's all in good fun.
Grocery Guy stands for all that is right: Flossing, looking both ways, eating greens and above all, helping old ladies with their groceries.

I think people like my blatant misuse of power. Just ask Tordeck, he's still rockin the "Biscuit Gravy Fart" sig and you're rockin that one....

Maybe I should be the offical sig maker..... Ohhhhh EYEEEE? Come here! You've got something I need to alter! :bing:

Hmm....

  • "Where ever you go, more often then naught, there you fart!"
  • "Where ever you go, more often then naught, there you aren't!"
  • "Where ever you go poo, more often then sometimes, there you went!"
  • "Where ever you go, more often then naught... what's the rest of it?"

Nah, I need more time to think about this....

j/k EYE, I only mess with those that will appreciate it. ;) :lol:

Ahem, well being a Moderationereer, I guess I better steer this thread back on topic...

Do ya think anyone will actually do this Activity?

If I have time, I wanna make a Super Villain one, it's probably more appropriate for me anyway...

[edit] Ha! Good one, Col!

Okay, I can't think of a REAL one to do yet, but the idea of grocery guy was just to irresistable.
Here we witness our noble hero shortly after helping miss. Jenkins bring in her groceries

And I would do the "actual me" pic, but what can I say, I'm already like that in real life.
[size=1] Pssst... Btw, she's not trying to buy sex[/size]

Edit: Oh, and in case you didn't notice, the crappy style for the superhero is because it's supposed to be a throwback to the old DC comics
