Hey, YOL--what character did you want to see drawn?

Hey, man! Realized I hadn't drawn ya a pin up. Here ya go!

For those you who have never heard of ROLO, it used to refer to a Storm/Wolverine relationship before they killed Logan in the comics. I drew these for fan-ficton stories that I and other fans had written, so, these sketches are REALLY old lol. The first sketch was inspired by a real photo; in the story, Storm had just spilled ice cream on Logan's chest. The rest of these sketches came from my imagination. Enjoy!

Ok, ok!! lol We all sometimes forget that other people have their own life situations to handle.

Well, I'm a professor, and there's a rule: If ya start something in class, ya gotta resolve it. Therefore, how about this--I got a few ideas for a challenge below, and you two can "yea" or "nay" them.

Idea #1: Civvies: Show any superhero or supervillain in any pose or situation, but the character must wear civilian clothing (jeans, t-shirts, dresses, lingerie, a suit, etc.)

Idea # 2: Tell Me a Story: In no more than one or two sketches (two is the max), tell us a story with dialogue. This means you'll need at least one word balloon in your sketch. Comic Life is a really great tool for this (see below), and it's free to use for thirty days.

Idea # 3: Everything's Ivy: Just like the Wonder Woman/Harley Quinn challenges, but this time, it's Poison Ivy. An' yeah, these are some of my really old sketches as examples.

Fun fact: The Fantastic Four's Brooklyn-based Thing was actually Marvel's first all-out brawler who talked like this. When Wolverine became a more interesting character in the late 1970s (thanks to artist John Byrne, a fellow Canadian like Logan), Marvel transferred most of the Thing's characteristics to Wolverine.

Nope. I was afraid that this might happen--gang, it's the same as any other challenge here: It's an art contest, not a marriage proposal loll

"Puts on my Logan/Wolverine voice*

Bub, the deal was this--ya both agree ta create the next contest. It can be as complicated as the two o' you workin' together, or as simple as one poster proposin' an idea and the other agreeing ta it. But both o' ya gotta get the job done together. OK?

Now, the hard part...the 2nd winner. We ended up with a three-way tie, and this one's very difficult to decide because I really, really love all three equally.

Well, after much thought, deliberation, and butt-cheek clenching, I made a decision based on the only thing the other two did not have (no fault of the artists involved; I just had to decide on SOMETHING!). Based on its originality, the second winner is...RamsIllustration's character, Damsel of the Damned.

Congratulations, Rams, you and newagecomics20 will now decide the April challenge!

Welp, here it is. WINNER #1 with forty percent of the vote is newagecomics20's Dark Knight! Congratulations!

Oh, and it doesn't have to be the movie version actress, either. I like to see your own interpretation of the model for her face.

Well, your'e great at drawing portraits, so...
