His red eye thing is mirrored when he looks right. (Our left)

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".

Hey Surt you should still follow through with your idea. Looking at your gallery i'm sure you would do a far better than job than I can produce at the moment.

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.

I don't have much time to add more to him right now. But it turned out better than I had imagined already anywho. So... here goes mines!

Enjoy!!!

Seems I've inspired a few entries from my entry this week. I think in the future I should wait till the end of the challenge maybe.

I know that I for one find Crotch Skull a inspiration. I've modelled my whole life on his example.

Hello moni,
Pixeljoint is a place where we learn from each other and get inspired by others too. 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 :)
