View Full Version : Twisted Extreme Sports - Character - Drongo Stabbins
Drongo Stabbins 09-10-2002, 08:20 PM Well sports fans (eh?!) its that time of the month again (wha?!?!)
And the secret code-word for this month is "DICKATUSS"
As much as I wanted to avoid the challenge this month,
I couldn't help myself...so here I am...
I'm not too sure if I'm going to have the time to devote to this one as I'm juggling a couple of things at the minute...
anyhoo...apologies in advance for the small images...
A lot of the quality of these sketches is lost at this size..:(
So here is our "hero" and the components...
He is the sole international participant...
It involves a form of dance...
And takes place around the time of the El Nino...
n'joy...

AHAHAAHA!!! What's up with all you crazy cartoonists creeping out of the woodwork all of a sudden? :D
Awesome sketches! I really hope you'll be able to catch that into 3D as well. I bet that guy trained for months, hahaha! And his hair looks like a big question mark, making him look extra clueless
:thumbsup:

Just a quick hello!
Apologies(mebamonster,Benno,BrainFaucet,Clanger,paconavarro)
for the considerable lack of updates of this one, but I'm finishing off a short at the minute, so I need to devote what little time I have to that.
BUT I will be back working on this again from tuesday. yay!
And given that the deadline Isn't untill october the whatever, like any good sports person worth their trainers, Im going to pace myself, and make the experience worth while...
Anyhoo thanks all for the interest and taking the time!

Hey Drongo............. I loved your Beast of Burden creation. One of the best .................And this one looks to be just as promising. I know it will be top notch coming from you. I am looking forward to seeing it progress.
Downhill racing in a bath full of ice while 99% naked with the bath full of lobsters and crabs??? ............With electric gizmos attached to your poor ol' character............?
We shall see, see you soon...........:beer: :)
