	Here's a sketch i'm working on. The wrestler(s) is actually going to be conjoined twins that are connected lower back to others abdomen. Their finishing move will either be a choke with their legs or a toss with their legs. In the final image I plan to change the camera to a lower angle and I want the twins silhouette to read better.

Demmit! That was my idea (well conjoined at the skull). Their name was going to be "Tag-team".

	God, I still have so much work to do on this. Right now he looks like a cross between the Flash, a bullfighter, and General Skarr. He's supposed to be a Communist luchador or something. Hooblah.

You must have taste because Krysys is awesome. Respect for others is a must here so in your entry you should state that Krisys inspired your piece and aven a link to his art is considered cool. iaza.com or download giffy from the FAQ page to make your images transparent (counts as a color). I must explain why I sent your image back to you. You need 2 images when adding art to the gallery, one 100x100 or less for the small (detail) file or the first panel and the second on the second panel which is your big sized file. When your final piece is 64x64 or smaller just one is fine. welcome

	hi guys - this is quite a few firsts for me: the first piece I've ever submitted to the community, my first try at AA, my first piece where I cared about how many colours I used and (hopefully) my first real step to improving my work! El Albatros Gordo! Was hoping he would be meaner but ah well :) Edited by PixEd - 14 June 2008 at 2:47pm
