The Fantastic Competition for Illustrating Folks

Kiza has been banned but wanted to make a topic, hence, he asked me to make this. And now a message from Kiza himself:

I'm writing a story. It's going to be called The Fantastic Adventures of Lord Emerald Finkerton, but that's of no consequence.

What is of consequence is my shitty drawing skills, and the need for illustration. So I'm challenging all you arty fellows and fellettes to a competition to BE MY ILLUSTRATOR.

I am not joking here. You have the opportunity to illustrate for The Fantastic Adventures of Lord Emerald Finkerton. This is certainly not to be passed up. All you have to do is draw a koala. A koala, you say? Why is that? Because the koala is the main character.

You have this to draw off: he is a koala. He stands like a man, and is also a detective. And he is a noble, also. Part of the nobility. Also, he's pretty great at break-dancing. He has a top-hat, and a cane. The Cane of Destiny. Draw the main character Lord Finkerton (the aforementioned koala) and post your drawings in this thread.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

No shitty MSPaint shit. If you're GOOD at MSPaint, that's fine. No shit, though. We want serious people for this serious story. So there we have it. Whoever draws the best Lord Finkerton will have the extreme honour of being my illustrator for this fantastic story. Once it sells, I'll even give you 5% of the profits. So yeah, go ahead and draw.

Well then, get drawing. You have until next Friday.

No double posts please. There is a reason for the little 'edit' button.

**Man of Steel** · 04-15-2009 07:53 AM

I might have to give this a try. Right up my figurative alley.

*Really misses that "Merge Posts" option.*

**Robot_Butler** · 04-17-2009 06:31 PM

What a crazy coincidence. I've been planning on drawing a top-hat-wearing Koala for my next project. I am 100% not joking. This is really god damn freaking weird.

**Kiza** · 04-21-2009 06:59 AM

Hey guys!

THANKS!

**tommo** · 07-05-2009 09:19 AM

Did anyone ever do this?

**Kiza** · 07-06-2009 03:45 AM

No they did not. I cried.

**tommo** · 07-06-2009 03:50 AM

I'll do it! If it's not too late. Gimme a day to draw the little koala.

Or is it too late now?

Goddam I wish I saw this a few weeks ago, I've had holidays doin' fuck all for 4 weeks.

**Kiza** · 07-06-2009 04:14 AM

You can draw the SHIT out of the koala if you want. I'm not going to stop you. It's certainly not too late.

**tommo** · 07-06-2009 08:47 AM

Ok kool and I want more than 5% of profits.

**Jeff777** · 07-06-2009 08:57 AM

Lol, gotta love failed threads.

**Kiza** · 07-06-2009 08:59 AM

I totally cut myself when this didn't work. All of you have that on your conscience.

**tommo** · 07-06-2009 09:38 AM

Nah mate I'm still drawing it.

**AURON** · 07-06-2009 09:42 AM

lol i just saw this about 30 mins ago...heres what i came up with. one of them is cartoonish, and one has a more realistic feel to him. I made the handle of the cane look something like a dragon, because it looked cool. either way it's just some sketch shit.

**Kiza** · 07-06-2009 10:47 AM

Akona you are very good my friend. If you or tommo or anyone who wants to draws something that is not just a sketch I assure you I will definitely write at least a 2000 word short story.

This is my promise.

**tommo** · 07-06-2009 11:02 AM

Ok here it is mate. I WILL improve on this but I kind of could only be bothered with about an hour's work on it today. Oh so you haven't written the story yet? Well PM some of it when you have done a little bit, coz that would help to draw the character ya know? Otherwise he is kind of lifeless/characterless. He's got emerald eyes

**Kiza** · 07-06-2009 11:09 AM

That is a very good drawing sir. I would only ask that he be wearing something, as being unclothed would never pass in Noble OR Detective society. I advise a tuxedo kind of thing.

I will write like the wind, if the wind could write and also was me. And then, yes, I will PM you an excerpt soon. In the next 12 hours I promise. If I go back on that promise you have permission to snap me in half with your hands.

**tommo** · 07-06-2009 02:58 PM

Hey hats are clothing too!

Yeh I didn't really get what you meant by the noble thing, but I will think of something. Gotta go catch some LD's now.

**AURON** · 07-06-2009 08:21 PM

meh....it's not coming out as good as I want it to on the computer, so I'll just back out of it. Anyone else who feels like working on this has my full permission to use my concept drawings to create of there own.
