Description
My entry for Sketch Magazine's Sgt. Rock Coloring Contest. There's not as much contrast or rendering as I would've liked, but I was up against the deadline. I'm really happy with what rendering there is, though. I feel like I made a little bit of a breakthrough with the last Smallville pic.Lines: Dan Fraga

Nice colors man! Wouldve prefered a little bit darker on some areas but that's juz me. What you did here suits the drawing perfectly as it gives somewhat of a classic feel to it!
Good luck on the contest Gavs! When's the results gonna come out?

Nah, I agree with your first statement. It definitely needs more contrast, but deadlines are deadlines I have no idea when, or if, I'm going to hear about the results, man. I'm still trying to get the issue of Sketch that's already out! My local shop only orders one at a time, and they tend to sell out before I get there.

Well, best of luck to ya on that bro! Even if it didnt have enough contrast, it looks great as it is and you got a good shot at it.
As for the Mag, damn... if its that hard to get there in the US, i aint getting anything here in the Phils.

My local shop is a little lazy about that sort of thing. I think I'm about to start looking online. When I get it, I'll scan the pages with the contest entries so you can check 'em out
