Soranik Natu Art Jam

So, after the 14-bis art jam, I decided to start doing my own. I don't expect many to participate. I can't offer any kind of exposure to people at all and I pick farely obscure character that the denizens of dA aren't inclined to want to draw.

Raven Art Jam

Raven was the subject of an art jam hosted by 14-Bis. Now I'm not a fan of 14-bis. I think his work misses when it comes to the basics, but exceeds in terms of polish. It irritates me that I see all of these formal errors in his drawings, and yet he has people fawning over him for three reasons. He sexualizes cartoons in a generally competent way and does it in a cosistent manner. He knows how to polish up his work and make it very neat. He know what his audience wants. It has nothing to do with actually being a good artist.

I mean, I've seen people with almost no popularity get totally ignored or treated like dirt who can draw and paint 10,000 times better than 14-bis and it pisses me off. If you're going to treat someone differently because they are popular, you are a sicophant.

I entered this Jam to expose my work to more people. I used his popularity to get my work out there, and I really don't feel bad about it in the slightest. The fact of the matter is, that's why most people entered it and I would totally ignore anyone that says otherwise. Having your work on 14-bis' journal guaranteed more favs than normal.

If I had posted these on their own, they would've gone totally ignored.

Kamina the Ultimate Blue Lantern

SPIRAL POWER SHINING BRIGHT,
ANTI SPIRALS FLEE FROM SIGHT,
PIERCING HEAVENS NEAR AND FAR
GURREN LANTERN
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?

(Gurren Lantern oath devised by an Anonymous on /co/)


OK, as I was reading through Green Lantern not only did I develop an affinity for Natu, but I also thought "Simon would be the ultimate Green Lantern and Kamina would be the ultimate Blue Lantern."

I blame /co/ ...

This is just a fun (read: quick and dirty) sketch of Kamina, the ultimate Blue Lantern. The anatomy is shit, it's not very detailed, and I really don't have the will to make it as good as the Natu piece. It was just a funny idea.

This took a grand total of about 2 hours spread over two days of working on it sporadically for like 10 minutes at a time, the Natu piece took about 6 hours spread over two weeks.
