Frag! A Bonus Round!!


My cover of Simon Bisley's comic cover. Think I missed the point of this round, since I didn't change much from the original. Still fun though, and I have been out of the loop far too long.

Graphite + Photoshop

Round Fourteen: Armed to the Teeth


Bill Sienkiewicz's Marvel cover for his and Frank Miller's "Elektra Assassin" No. 1 is one of a handful of iconic images I can say made me a cartoonist.

I first encountered it as a kid on a frosty summer morning on Telegraph in the window of Comics and Comix. A friend and I had skipped Strawberry Rec. Camp, and stared at it for hours before the shop opened, with sweaty palms accompanied only by local hobos.

When discussion of Round 14 came about, I couldn't shake the image. Then last night, inspired by the discussion, I came up with my twist.

Enjoy,

Ben C.

Special Bonus Round: Covers


Cover by Ben Cohen

In this round we are asking contributors to do the unthinkable...finished work. Wait, isn't Sketchy Scribbles just for our doodles?




Original by Erik Larsen for DC Comics

Well...it's more then that, and in this case you can illustrate either an Album or Book Cover (i.e. Music, Comics, ect...).




Cover by Ben Cohen

Covering a piece of someone's art is not entirely original, nor is the fun play on words with covering a cover, not a song. This, of course, has become very popular with sites like Covered.




Original by John Byrne for Marvel Comics

But we have no guidelines here at Sketch Scribbles, so if you plan on submitting their too, check their rules first.

Well, just two rules, have fun and do good work.

He'll bite your knee caps off!


Messing around at work again. Believe it or not I do work hard at the day job. I'll work on these through out the day, five minutes here, five minutes there, until it either looks awesome or like a sloppy piece of crap. I don't show the crappy ones BTW, they get tossed in the trash.
