CHALLENGE: Mansel in DistressShow a helpless male (human) character that needs rescuing from a perilous situation. This could be anything from a prince being held captive in a castle to your uncle having a flat tire on a freeway. Disclaimer: Before anyone cries foul, I just want to point out that this challenge is in no way intended to be sexist or discriminatory; the purpose here is to provide a new spin on a well-worn trope (that is, of course, the familiar 'damsel in distress' scenario).

The problem is that you don't insist enough on his hair. He just look like he's scary by something above him, your concept isn't obvious. Why don't you emphasize the hair mess ? It would be more understandable imo.

when i see this the first thing i think of is that were about to enter into a predator film or alien film. i'm sure you've seen those films. almost everyone in this world has.
lol i could so imagine an alien on a wall above his ready to attack. |

update:
![]() is the hair more emphasized now, or does it still look like alien creature above his head going to attack him? |

Hey man you should draw his hand holding a comb at the bottom of your pic. That would make your concept obvious once and for all.

I agree with Manjaman; some hair utensils would be excellent. Like a haircomb being devoured by his hair. Or a hairdryver/comb/scissors in the picture. Something like that.

Here's my first (and very, very rough) draft: it will be a mansel having to purchase tampons for his sister/girlfriend/wife. Poor mansel. The hands need work, I know.

Here is my idea: the prince is in trouble against the bad bad women, he needs a little help from the princess to escape this situation...

OMG this sounds hilarious, hopefully there will be some funny entries.
Perhaps I might think something up. OK here's what I got so far I think this was quite clever. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can probably guess where this is headed. Edited by Sasuke-ish - 07 July 2010 at 11:29pm |

@paulo
I think it would look cooler, if the princess had a confident look on her face, to contrast with the mansel |

Thanks for suggestion, man! But my intention is show the princess's dispair too! She was there to be saved, not to save the prince, but in the end she needed save the both!

Getting closer to finishing. I'm going to work more on the box, it's pretty lame right now. Also, let me get your opinion on something: should I keep the background transparent, or put in a background? I'm not sure if it would make it too busy or not.

I'd keep the background transparent. Having lots of aisles and stuff might be distracting, though having a shocked old lady in the background would be funny.
(thanks!) |

ok...the old lady's face is over dithered; more unnecessary dithering on both the guy and girl's arms; reverse AA on their arms; also, if you are not using a background, the AA on the outlines will look weird on darker backgrounds.

Love the old lady's face.
Girl's left (ours) sleeve looks weirdly like a boob. Guy's right biceps bulges too much. |
