      =l ... I dunno. I've redrawn her a bazillion times already. I feel like giving in and giving up. There's only a couple days left.

        @Washu Put nose to grindstone. Get this awesome thing done ๐Ÿ™‚

        What kind of process do you usually need to finish a piece like this? Inks? Paint? Traditional? Digital?

          @Braden-Hallett Thank you! hahaha I usually paint it digitally but since I feel a time crunch I decided to ink this one. I might go back over it and paint it just because I want to make them glow. XD
          Honestly, I hardly draw at all anymore. I'm trying to get back into it, so I have no confidence in my painting skills. My MerMay piece was... weak. Especially compared to one I did 5 years ago. ^^;
          I feel as though my art is regressing. Art is -not- like riding a bike, you have to keep practicing or else. I'm kinda embarrassed to share this. haha

            @Washu first off love the character designs theyโ€™re really appealing. Iโ€™d change the camera angle maybe have it a little lower so the monsters look big and intimidating, itโ€™ll give a more dynamic feeling to the piece. Maybe put a more strained expression on the lava woman to show itโ€™s a real contest of strength.

            I look forward to seeing more of this piece especially with colour ๐Ÿ˜€

            Donโ€™t worry you will get this done, thereโ€™s still time

              Your certainly not starting from scratch so just keep at it, put the time in and work to where you want to be. Tackle one new lesson at a time and implement it. ๐Ÿ™‚

                Yup! I learned that applies to the piano, too ๐Ÿ˜ž

                These kinds of things are a lot easier to relearn than riding a bike though. And the better you get at riding it the less time it takes you to get back to where you left off ๐Ÿ™‚

                  @sarahlawrence Thank you! My idea was to show both of them about to laser blast each other! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ It looks epic in my head. hahaha In color their throats and mouths would be glowing as they charge up.
                  Also, I don't think I can draw her face from below. I should practice that later. nodding

                      Updated: messing around with the sketch in photoshop to adjust the lava chic's pose. Better?

                        I added foreground buildings and helicopter silhouettes for scale. Thinking about colors and light.

                              I got the background painted but looks like I wont make the deadline. I paint slooow.

                              Oh, I left the lineart layer on cause otherwise the characters are weird grey blotches. XD Please excuse the extra lines in the background.

                                  @MichaelaH Thank you! I will work on it when I'm feeling better. I caught something and have just been sleeping it off. I'm not worried about the contest, because I wanted to paint this for my roommate who's a huge Godzilla nerd. XD He can list off everyone Godzilla has battled!
