Aww THANX , wow really?! hmm, I think I'm gonna try and buy it hehe, sounds pretty fun 8D *reads carefully.... <=( ooo... you can't use normal printing paper??!! *cries...cries <- use it all the time lol I guess, I have to buy these "special" papers if I wanna try on copic X_x... OH and I love your coloring xD!! all I'm good at is shading with pencil then color balance it (to color it) on my computer <- fast way... I like instant things lol

@chris ijt:

Thanks! And go for it, I love your attitude^^ You'll win for sure!
Yes i have Ciao copic markers, they are the least expensive!! (still $4 per marker though, but they are worth it... You can replace the tips and refill ink yourself!) Kyaaa thanks, I will!!! And yes, its Lots of fun using copics!! I've been using them for about 1 year now, it did take a lot of experimenting and practice but its lots of fun!
I have an art world here and have some posts that you might find helpful! Here they are: Copic info, My tutorial 1, My tutorial 2~
I hope they help or inspire you and pm me if you have more questions!

@MangaKid:

Aww it's ok ^_^ I'll try harder next time lol, really your dad's a firefighter wow that's so cool!!
yea >.< I still got loooong ways to go, especially in coloring haha, woow u hav copic markers?! I wish I have it too, kinda expensive >.< ~ aww I'm sure u'll become a pro too hehe, keep on practicing^^, btw *curious* is it fun?? -> using copic lol, I hear you can easily blend the colors together, but the technique's hard hehe

@chris ijt:

Ack! Sorry to hear that you lost >3< But you musta given them competition!! Actually my dad is a firefighter so I can see why people would choose that... but I really loved yours!! its unique!
You did very well! And I used to not be able to colour either! I got some markers called Copics and they were so pro but I wasn't xD It took a whole summer of practice, but the main thing is to just have fun and not to be afraid of experimenting!! You can do it!

@MangaKid:

THANK YOU xD I'd REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
btw... ='( I lost the competition, (In the end I drew a fireman holding a kid while going out of a building in fire)... ::sigh:: I just can't do coloring *CRIES OUT LOUD*....

@chris ijt:

Lol No problem!! I'm the same way >u<
I'm sure you can do it, you got lots of talent^^
I'll be sure to give you feedback on your next artwork too :D

@MangaKid:

LOL really? thank u so MUCH
Hahaha, guess I better work on my confidence as well as in my drawings X_x
btw, thank u again for the idea ^_^ I love it, I'll be sure to practice drawing the concept xD, wish me luck~ *especially in drawing horses,, and bg,, oh n coloring orz... gosh I really need to work on my confidence..

@chris ijt:

YES I seriously do!! I think thats one awesome horse and knight :D Have more confidence!!! Your work is amazing :DDDD
I'm glad you like my idea, I hope you'll do something like that! Don't worry! Just think of what you want to do, imagine everything, and go for it^^ I don't think you really need to go overboard on detail in the background since the focus should be on the main horse+rider, so don't stress too much. I actually think its good to just keep it simple :)
Plus I'm starting to think I shouldn't listen to you... if you say you're bad at drawing horses, and you draw THIS awesomeness, you can do anything!!
I can't wait to see it finished!

@just.me:

Really? Thank you 8D, Haha to tell you the truth I'm kinda worried about having too much detail >.< since I gotta color it in the end *still a noob in coloring btw =_=" Phew~ I'm glad you think it's appropriate for the theme , Hmm... i see, which do you think is better? a scene that portrays "The Hero Going to Battle" -> with the enemy upfront, or "Victory after the Battle"-> the enemy is defeated behind him? *thinking which is easier to draw (lol), and the surroundings? have any suggestions? hehe THANK YOU again xD

@MangaKid:

OMG?! Really? you really think it's good? >.< THANK YOU SO MUCH, I mean it hehe.... Oh n btw, I luv your idea 8D, so it kinda explains that the hero had a battle and WON xD, then he does this "victory pose" lol, with the bad guy left behind right? *imagining~ =A= o..my that's a lot to color... I'm a real beginner in coloring *cries... what about the surrounding? hehe, cliffs? *punch self.... How am I gonna finish this within time limit *cries... orz

Wah are you kidding?! that horse is amazing!!!! The whole drawing is! The Knight is really detailed and I love his pose and armour. The horse is super in that pose too!! Girl, you're much better then you think! And its your first time drawing a horse? Kyaaa you're so talented!!
Hmm just.me has a good idea about giving him an opponent to battle. I was thinking something like a darkness in the background, with maybe glowing eyes or demon shapes?? idk! But maybe the Kinght+horse could be more in the 'light' and the darkness more to the right like its being left behind?
And I know you can do whatever you choose, cuz you don't suck at horses and I bet you don't suck at backgrounds either! xD
Good luck in the contest!

This looks really great. I'm loving all the designs and details/drawing style. I think it's appropriate for the challenge if you add a monster battling him, say a dragon or something else that you can draw on the left side of the paper.
