Description Here's my semi-final round entry for the 1DF tournament [link]
This time Mojo squares off against the indominable Fisticuff by on board an alien space station.

Interstingly enough, when the remaining fighters arrived on the station, they were surprisingly welcomed with open arms by it's entertainment-starved crew of aliens. They learned that their respective fights were to take place the following night before a sold out crowd. But for now they were ushered to the station's cantina for a meet-and-greet social and cocktail hour with their hosts.
What started out out as an amiable get together noticeably soured when the topic of pre-competition drug testing by way of anal probe was broached. Then things deteriorated rapidly after Mojo non-challantly volunteered that the request was likely a result of the undue strain Ms. Cuffs was placing on her hover stool. What followed would later become known as the human race's first intergallactic incident...

The guy with the bow-and-arrow looks strangely like Richard from LFG, which makes me love him even more XD

I haven't come to look at your stuff in a while, and this realization is what brought me here, only to realize that your color technique has really, really, really improved! Which is always exciting to see; just letting you know, growth is being seen, and I am really impressed, you've gotten way better than me already and it's not faaaaair XD

Many thanks, friend! Just good to hear from you. I'm happy that you see improvement. Me... I always just see how much further I feel I have to go to be where I want. Very discouraging sometimes...
So today, you've made my day.

Oh man, this match is based on such a great idea, and the art follows suit with awesomeness! You're a master of single picture entries! ^^

This is going to be a tough call for Leigh to make. Good luck advancing to the next round, mate! ^^

Nice image man, you really went all out it seems like with this one with the detail and extra characters. I like the interaction between aisha and spitfire, and the chaotic alien bar room brawl idea is nice, took on the info provided and added it to the fight. Good stuff.

ElStormo [2009-11-30 22:58:19 +0000 UTC]

Nice work again! Dynamic without being chaotic. Poses make perfect sense and the composition is spot-on. Mind, your opponent submitted a pretty great piece of his own, so it'll be a close call!

Great story along with a cool action piece!

Aisha and Spitfire on the BG is hilarious. probably you're going to get some faves from breast expansion fetishists, lol.

Thanks! I dig your entry too. I thought some folks might get a kick out of Aisha and Spitfire having their own little battle in there. Glad you liked.

Haha, nice fight. Guys flying through the air and everything.
Btw, that girl on the left... her breasts look like they are soaking up the water like a sponge, and that brown haired girl at her table is enjoying it xD

Mojo-Arrogance In reply to SkaterScream [2009-11-30 16:22:47 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I'm glad you mentioned that. The two ladies at the table are the only other fighters left in the tournament. The elf on the left is Aisha, one of her powers is that her body absorbs any liquid that it comes in contact with. I thought it'd be funny to have Spitfire, her opponent on the right, flick over her drink just to see what happens...

No problem man, how are you doing your environments? Do you pre-pencil them or do them digitally? Do you plan them out before hand or just wing it?

Mojo-Arrogance In reply to CallofTheDeep [2009-11-30 18:45:40 +0000 UTC]

Its really kind of a combination. I plan a rough idea of what I want the background to look like, pencil in the basic outlines, but the majority of the detail work happens digitally. The biggest problem I have is this damned 11x9 scanner, my finished picture are usually larger than the original 8.5x11 drawings and so I have to ad-hoc everything around the edges and most of that ends up being environment. As an example, here is the actual linework that I had on paper for this piece: [link]
Maybe someday I can convince my wife of the neccessity of an oversized scanner...

I know what you mean, one of these days I'll need to invest in an A3 scanner.
I'm terrible with backgrounds, I seldom plan for them and I almost never draw them in the original lineart.

Mojo-Arrogance In reply to CallofTheDeep [2009-11-30 19:05:08 +0000 UTC]

Its tough, the lineart looks great on paper, and then when you get it up on screen, you realize how naked the scene is. At least thats how it usually works out for me. Even in the coloring stage I have to force myself to fully render the background first before I start on the figures; otherwise the background suffers badly as I get excited to finish the piece.
