HAhaha - another purple gathering with purple beings - fantastic expressive illustration with splendid detail work and interesting purple shapes - these faces speak books and every single character for sure is special unique and tells a story by itself
super use of space , fantastic detail work , as always excellent job

My kind of family. It has a bit of Picasso. Not many are around that remember the song about the one eyed purple people eaters. I sure do. Your work is always very detailed and eye catching (wink)

Contest or no contest bro, you will end on top! No challenger for your wonderful genre! As once again you have proved in this illustration. Good luck in the contest!

Haha! I like the creativity put into this. I knew this was you when I first saw it. Great entry into the contest. Your really good at putting something together quick and as effective as this. Great story telling ability and initial impact.

    Sadly I still didn't pay attention that this contest is blind..since I signed it, that disqualified me of the contest..so I had Tom pull it from the contest..oh well, need to knock out a drawing for one of my grandsons and get back on this video..thanks for the great review.

    Man, I think this would've been a great entry into the contest. I hate to see that you had them pull it. I notice many of these contests are blind. Hope all goes well with the video.

    All is good..I got a lil ahead of schedule and jumped at these small contest..yeah a lot of cool topics are blind..at least I made the sharpie/Bic art contest non blind..try that.one..hint hint..lol..our flowernaut has 2 more planets to visit before I can do the conclusion of the story..lil soiler alert there..wink..also my youngest grandson is requesting a captain America poster for his birthday..got 2 weeks to knock that out..the only hardest thing on the FAN video is getting folks to participate..the rest will be easy..yeah the plate is full for a lil bit.. wink

    I think I will try the Bic sharpie contest. I like participating in the contests because it pushes me to try different mediums and to challenge me to get better with my art.
reply by the author on 29-Jul-2019
    Good frame of mind.. lil different with me. I'm always pushing my medium and see how far my story telling ability can go . Kevin I don't consider myself as an artist like you and others ... yall express yourself in creativity..me I'm just an old cartoonist/illustrator.. we tell stories..if we don't draw it right the viewer wouldn't understand the story... besides since I never had any art classes.my teachers were DC, marvel, warren publishing and Heavy Metal illustrated..took me almost a decade to finally folks would acknowledge sharpie and Bic..lol..I just had a spark of memory..in my early years when I would show a drawing I would get comments like "cool drawing..so when you are gonna do some real artwork?"..I would ask what they consider real artwork.. the usual response.. painting charcoal , etc..made me realize they consider me as a office medium..makes sense..makes me stand over the umpteen million..yeah..I'll own that one..I'm a office medium cartoonist/illustrator..course in contest I matter how well drawn my medium can hold me back..oh well I'm happy in my lil world...wink

    I'm starting to see what you mean now Mark about the blind contests. You can't sign your name on them and you run the risk of being disqualified if you do.
Comment from Envision


I think you improvised on the fly very nicely! This is a great purple entry. I think it's amusing and the characters look a little spooky. Don't worry the one eyed, one horned flying purple people eaters wont eat you cause you're too tough!

    Tough but not observant..I didn't notice this one is blind too .since I signed it, it is now disqualified, so I had Tom pull it. Another reason why I stick with just the committee contest.. they are never blind..what a waste of time.now need to get back to my projects..thanks for the great review

    Sadly bro it does show..it's signed on bottom left corner. Since I didn't know this is blind as well that disqualified me with the signature..I already had Tom pull it from the contest. Glad ya like and thanks again for the great review.
Comment from Brady Nielson


This is awesome Flood (pretty sure that's who this is haha). The lights showcasing the monsters in the background help them stand out really well. The color purple has been well used and is showcased nicely everywhere. Really good detail work and rendering the colors. Good luck!

    Sadly I didn't notice this is blind as well. I don't post any of my work without my trademark signature. Signing it disqualified me from the contest so I had Tom pull it. Thanks for the awesome review
Comment from iPhone7


LOL. Great recovery troop. This reminds me of my 40th high school reunion. Everyone thought I had changed and looked kind of weird. Go figure.

Great entry for the contest. Keep on keepin' on ~ Top
