that is such a tantalizing comp to enter, for all us budding artists (for us to try and follow in your footsteps). i always wondered how you got the flesh tone colour. are any type of felt-tip, or ink allowed? i do not own any sharpie or bic. i had a bit of luck winning my first art comp, with my last, so i should strike whilst the iron is hot. you have such a unique style and so original in this type of presentation.

    the only rule is it must be sharpie or BIC of both pen/markers. to help www.sharpie.com and www.bic.com they r worldwide and brea their sites down to area..another helpful hint..if u have a office supply retailer near u, i assure u they have these pens...oh btw,they r cheap too! wink..i remember ur artwork last yr..i think u will like playing with these..and im giving u more suggestion..do it on posterboard..not paper(wont bleed).wink..i hope u join us..its suppose to be fun than who wins!

sorry not a chess player but checkers. nice work with color and light and shadows. well detailed and presents a fun look and cheerful monkeying around. lol. Say my friend could you do a Brett Farve in the green and Gold some day. Always my favorite. Larry

Nice strategic move to get your medium recognized. Maybe I'll even feel brave enough to enter the contest. Mind you, my pens are no-name generic "water color pens", so may not qualify, and I think I'll stick to tan and brown for skin. Plenty of dark-complexioned people in my neck of the woods!

    be brave! really u will be playing on level field for many r curious about my medium. oh yeah! u really dont realize my neck of the woods..lets say i never knew there were many whites(other than tv) in my country. when intergration in schools started in 68, i was the only white boy in the class for many a yrs..wink. lol i remember the 1st time i went to houston,tx i was walking around and amazed how many white people there was..really i felt out of place..wink. check out www.sharpie.com or www.bic.com, also if u have a office supply retailer in ur area u should find them. hope to see ya try! thanks for the review!

Striking work with bright yellow colours contrasting against a black background. I like the composition since I play chess regularly. I am assuming you play too but I could be wrong! Would make a great poster and a flier if a challenge existed in real life (a chess challenge I mean!)

Comment from johnmyr


You should ask for a fee for this work. Very nice. Don't understand the Sharpie/BIC reference though.

Nice work

OK, OK I try it, truth its way out of my comfort zone again, have never painted with Sharpies and own only a set of six of them. On the other hand, its a challenge to try something new. Thats brings me in. I am on board skipper.

I can not participate as an painter, because I'm not, but I'll be attentive to the works, and I go give my vote and support the contest. Great creativity, color, and nice composition. Well done.

Brilliant colors and sharp detail. Don't give out too many pointers, (peach color for skin) Let them sweat!

Nice job, great lettering with shadow.
