Look I am not going to change those rules for this. And Ill tell you why. This is a contest to see how well you can take being an artist. Now I know you guys do more than just Oddworld I am not stupid ok. You guys are great artist and I know you can do hundres of other things. but as the Art director of this contest I want you to do Oddworld Color Pencil and pen and Ink work for now. Now in the next contest which will be in the catagory of paintings mind you I will leave the subject matter open. Hey take it or leave it those are what I am asking for this first contest. If you be a little paitient we will get to non Oddworld so don't worry. I have great faith in you guys that you can create anything,

Because in one way or another if you go into art as a job the Art director is going to come up to you and say I want you to design me this and I want it this way done in this piticular medium. Alector and I know all about this. And you can't tell the art director that its unfair because they will look at you and say fine I will find another artist. Thats very unprofessional I can guarantee you that with attitude like that you won't have an art job. To be a professional you have to be flexible and if it comes to being a challenge then so be it. Those are the rules for these first three months lets see what you guys can come up with. If you can't do a pen and Ink or a Color pencil then I don't know what to tell you.

Thats what I want to see for this first contest. Comeon Mann if you can paint then I honestly think you can do a simple color pencil drawing of Oddworld subject matter. Its the same idea. I am not looking to wether your drawing looks realistic or whatever. I am looking weather you can do it or not and the more I guarantee you now the more knowledge and background you have in different mediums the better off you are in this business. Don't sell yourself short like that mann. The Pen and Ink and Color Pencil is still on.
