A Last Goodbye...

2007-03-26T15:05:00.000-07:00

The Obsidian Artists would like to dedicate more time in bringing you better games in the near future, so due to busy schedules and pipelines, we are going to be on hiatus from our Art Challenge Blog. Thanks a lot to everyone who has visited and viewed our site, we really appreciate all your support! With that we leave you with our final drawing challenge...

The Finishing Touch

Take the following "Original Line" picture and finish it in any way that you'd like! We were allowed to rotate, scale, or move the line, as long as it was in the end product somewhere.

This week we reminisce and celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with hand turkeys! Nearly everyone at some point in grade school was asked to trace the outside of their hand and to decorate the drawing to look like a turkey. Let's think back, give thanks for the talent we were blessed with, and create with child-like innocence once again.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

INTRODUCTION

2006-10-28T16:58:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome to the Obsidian Art Challenge. This blog was created by the artists of Obsidian Entertanment Inc. in order to participate in a weekly drawing challenge. The participants do their "take" on a theme that will be given out every Monday. The results of that challenge will be posted during the week, so check back often as new images may be posted later than some. This is for Obsidain Artists only, but feel free to play at home. If you'd like, post a link to your image in the comments section. Enjoy and have fun!
