My attempt at Challenge No.2. The top image was created by Tess, my niece.
I had planned to do a background but really couldn't get anything to work with the colours. If anyone knows of any good books or online resources that teach basic colour theory let me know - this challenge reminded me just how much I don't know about colour palettes and the like.

Art Challenge 2

Thanks to everyone who uploaded their work for the first art challenge! I really enjoyed seeing what came in. The thinking behind the challenge came from EA's Visceral Games who are devolping a game based on Inferno, from the Divine Comedy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy ). What classic is now safe from game designers? ;)

~Art Challenge #2~
Take a look at the previous post on using children's scribbles as a shape for a creature. Try it yourself ... if you don't have a child handy, do your own scribbles but do them fast and don't think much of what you're doing otherwise you'll defeat the purpose of the challenge. Submissions should include both scribble and finished work.

That's it - do with this as you will. This 'challenge' isn't a competition! It's a personal challenge, an opportunity for practice and to have a laugh. Your post can be as simple or finished as you like.
