Keep the pace up duddlebug…you’ll do it…i know you will. Really nice drawing and composition…it works…so get the damn thing coloured!!!
I’ll come back to your thread Tomorrow, to give any last crit, on the build up to final submission. I’d appreciate any last crits on mine, also.
Much appreciated, and the best of luck!

what journey you have taken every one on… your work reminds me a little, like someone I work with…aka agent 44. jake parker.
you seem like you have a less complex approach to rendering and color than others on the forum… I have faith you will pull off a great color piece by the deadline… Your work has been fun to track…and I can’t wait to see the final.

and then it’ll be time to colour it in!!

Awsome work duddlebug, simply amazing. I don’t think I should say this cause you probably already know, but there are only 3 days left!!! Hurry I can’t wait to see this finished, and I am sure i’m not the only one who feels this way. ^ ^

haha… yup… i definitely know there’s only three days left!!
I’v got the next two days off work, so for the first time since the challenge started i’ll have two full days with no distractions to get some work done!!
I’ll have the complete line Art uploaded by this evening and then i’ve got 48 hours to get the colouring sorted. that’ll leave friday to decide if i want to make any last minute changes. Although i am back at work on friday…
Here’s the drummer monkey for the foreground…
I’ve drawn all the elements except the dog now… i’ll assemble them after work tonight and post the final Line Art, before i get my train home.
Then i’ve got to get my new internet connection working tonight(i was supposed to be plugged in on saturday for broadband but i’ve been at my girlfriend’s house since friday so don’t know whther it all works yet!!), wait for my new monitor to turn up (before 10am wednesday they told me!!?), get my laptop working with an extra monitor (the graphics card is supposed to support it?) and work my butt off!!!

Not gonna type much… too much to do!!!
Here’s an almost finished Line Art. I’m gonna add the dog and a few lines to represent the background.
I still don’t know how much i’m going to use the Line Art… Whether i might just do a completely painted piece. But even if i don’t use it, it’s still a useful exercise to clarify the image in my mind. Even at this late stage.
Another image to come in the next hour or so… then it’s off home to see if i can get my broadband working…

This is my final Line ARt…
Which leaves me three days to get the colour sorted!! And i’ve got the next two days off work!! Hooray!! I’m not sure how i’m going to treat the line art in the final image… i’m gonna play that one by ear… whether i’ll paint over it and make it fairly subdued… or keep it quite strong. But then, ‘not knowing’ is half the fun of making artwork!!
As i mentioned earlier… I’ve had broadband put in at home, but haven’t been back to test it and/or set it up. SO it’s just possible you may not hear from me until Friday if it doesn’t work!! I’m hoping it’ll be all sorted and dead easy to set up… then i can throw up colour WIP’s throughout the next couple of days, rather than when i get back to work on friday!!
And then there’s supposed to be a monitor delivered first thing in the morning (i’ve been meaning to get one for ages) so i don’t have to do the whole thing on my laptop screen!!
So much to do… so much to go wrong…
And thanks to all the people who’ve been pushing me on…
I hope the final image won’t disappoint…
Good luck to any of you entering the comp!!

I…I’m speechless…your designs are beyond amazing <wipes away the drool> - I want to animate them! The amount of concept stuff you’ve done on this is borderline insanity! Looks amazing, though - worth all that pre-design! Am waiting on pins and needles to see some colour!

This work is probably the most touching in this challenge as it seems to me. 
I love the progress of your work and with impatience wait for the final image. :bounce:
