Alright, well, I guess this thread finally gets to see the first drawing I've made in four months after all. Thank you, shitty tablet, for deciding to work just long enough for me to use you again.
Title: Triumph of the Stickerfags
Medium: Medibang Paint Pro on a half-broken Wacom Intuos.
Challenge Name: Technical Line Work
Description: A portrait of the Four Horsemen of the Stickerpocalypse. From top left to bottom right, one can make out the visages of Admiral A-Log, Captain Can, Ilhara Al-Mosque, and Honorable Horrifico. The figure in the middle remains unidentified, occasionally referred to as Mr. Moai, with his mysterious role in the conflict being more of a folkloric figure and rallying hero than a living, breathing Kiwi.
The piece is accompanied by scenes of idealism and triumph: on the left is displayed a Cow pasture and a scene of the average Kiwi's life before the conflict (what the army was fighting for). On the right is a portrait of the Horsemen's victory, kept shrunken so as not to distract from the faces behind the conflict, with a depiction of a defeated Slobbermutt forced to glue the puzzle pieces that began the conflict back together with his legendary spit. The icon symbolizing the Horsemen as a fighting force borders the piece's top and bottom.
Time Spent: 2 hours and 58 minutes.
Art Specific Critique: Yes, but please be gentle lol. I'm still mourning the tablet and almost everything in this piece is pretty new to me.
Challenge Feedback: I found the challenge pretty fun once I got the hang of it, but the initial premise was a bit vague and could've used some more clarification. That's about it for complaints; it was really fun.

I'm not putting my references here, I had so many that I'd lag this page to hell if I tried. Just know that I was going for a sort of 18th-19th century lithography vibe. The kind of stuff you see on really old advertisements or portraits.
Haven't got any ideas for future challenges either, unfortunately. I was going to suggest a single-palette challenge but I think someone already got to that before I could lol. I suppose I'll back that one for the future.

This was drawn before my tablet went kaput, so the linework is a lot smoother. It took like 20 minutes and I did it around midnight because I forgot I was going to do it earlier in the day. The Null scene is lifted from a very early draft of this, when I had a completely different concept in mind. I liked how I managed to pull off the Slobbermutt in that, so I gave it a second chance at life here. Unfortunately, I forgot to account for the canvas size and it kind of destroyed that sketch lol. Oh well!
