My Contest Entry

[Sarah]

Time: 20 or so hours.
Backgrounds: All created by me.
Overall Concept: Hmm... Took about 8 hours to sketches out all the characters and general scenes. This is roughly the fifth version.

My Entry into the 'What will graduation look like?'. But like, I WAS originally gonna just draw Kim and Ron in graduation robes, getting diplomas and such. But then I thought.

"While that is a big part of it, it's not really what I want to see throughout the episode. I want to see the actual realization they've grown up and out of high school..."

So, while it's not them actually graduating, I think it turned out better than what I originally had. So... Yeah... I wouldn't suggest downloading unless you don't mind the wait... >.>;

As for the contest, I don't know if I won or not. From what the RS.net polls were saying, I - well, it's looking good-ish... ^^;

I hope you know when i first saw #8 it put a smile on my face. I did not realize it was yours till about a week later. I saw a couple of your arts here and at DA and it looked similar to this. Then it hit me. It's perfect.

[Sarah]

Thanks Slick ^_^ I'm really glad you liked it, as I was constantly worried it was off-model and things like that...

[slicknickshady]

Well your K/R do look pretty close to the actuall ones on the show. Cloud Monet and Your K/R pieces are the best ive scene. The charecters seem to look like they came straight out of the show. Levelords are pretty good also. You three artists are really great.

[johnnys]

Ahhhh...that has to be one of the worst kept secret!

Anyway, love the artwork, Sarah! ;D

Oh Sarah, the treehouse picture was just PERFECTION. This picture evoked a lot of emotion! And I love how your art does that! Fabulously drawn, and fabulously characterized. Bravo!

[Rognik]

Y'know, i was wondering what treehouse everyone was talking about. Then I noticed the crayon scribble. It looks like some of my contemporary work! (j/k I gave up on art LONG ago.)

[nabusan]

I honestly couldn't decipher the picture of the treehouse the first time I saw it. Only when I had a closer look did I discover its awesomeness.

[Sarah]

The treehouse... That replaced a shoddy picture of the cheersquad XD But, uhm, yeah I'm working on the proper version! I didn't have 'time' because I rushed to submit it, then found out we had an extra week or something..

Anyway, that you alllllll!!!

[Slyrr]

Yours was certainly a crowd-pleaser - on the public poll thread, it was neck and neck for first place for a long time, and still seems the front runner for second place. They say the actual voting is really close - can't help wondering....

[Sarah]

Thank you slyrr, but I really wasn't inspired to enter the whole 'K/R' thing as my entry. I just wanted to show how I want the episode/show to 'end' ^_^ Thank you.

Was the treehouse thing like a sketch, or did you use photoshop for it?

[Sarah]

You really love that tree house Nabu

It's a sketch on a shoddy piece of paper. I then photoshopped a basic background and some colour onto it. SO it's sorta like one of them drew it but it's also a photo?

[nabusan]

It's a muy awesome treehouse though! I think it's 'cause I saw the picture with some really soppy music playing on my mp3 player - and it struck a chord ;D

The final panel is definately my favorite. Love the whole thing though, especially the choice of gutters.
