Admittedly, I have not spent a lot of time on the Dungeon Delve challenge as planned this weekend. Partly because I wasted many hours trying to paint a new character for Gorillaz “Evangelist” challenge, partly because of my visit to Katzenjammer, a German pub near London Bridge where they serve 1 liter Beers, October-fest style… is it me or they go down as quickly as regular pints?…
anyway. Gorillaz, new character challenge. Design your character, submit it – win and have your character redrawn by not other but great Jamie Hewlett and… included in the gorillaz squad, next to Murdoc, Noodle and the rest of the cartoon crew. How cool is that?!
You can submit your design each of the four consecutive weeks and also redraw it and resubmit it when you feel you could do one better. Mind you, you can only do this during the “drawing” week and if you do, you’ll overwrite your previous design and there’s no coming back… The reason for it is that you cannot use your software of choice – it is all done on Gorillaz page, using their online drawing/painting application.
Four colours at your disposal (no colour picker) and a handfull of custom brushes. All really handy and smooth when it comes to painting but… freezes. It froze on me good few times, and the only way to get drawing again is to reset and start anew… A little bit frustrating, must say. Only way to “save” the progress was for me to keep submitting, each time I’d something to the mix. As the first drawing week is almost done and I only started this weekend, I treat this attempt as a warm up, hoping that my initial design will at least get accepted…
The doodle above is not my submission, btw…
