This is my first time on DC - no idea what to expect.  How about initially all designers can submit one or two sketches and if I like what I see I''ll guarantee payment in a few days time.  Or if you can direct me to samples of cartoon images in your portfolio, I''d be happy to guarantee based on a couple of good cartoon images.

Thanks

I''ve only seen the two contributors so far but already I like what I see, so I''ve made the payment guaranteed.

Thanks @sdrum - you''re right on the mark, although a couple of points to consider:

 - You don''t have to use a consistent brush width for the whole image, just make sure that the outline of any fillable areas is thick enough.  You can use thinner lines for fabric folds / textures / etc. so long as it doesn''t create new fillable areas.

 - Just a few areas will be a little fiddly to tap on smaller screens.  In particular small rocks and shoe straps in the daniel image and splashes and feet in the moses image.

@mralvar:

Good, I like these sketches too, it''s a good proof of concept, but they won''t work as finished pieces - thicker lines and also try and avoid small closed areas (toes, fingers).  Either open them up to larger fill areas or make them bigger.

@graphitext:

Submit as many images as you like - start with one and I''ll give you feedback on it, submit a few more if you think you have a chance. Before the competition closes, however, I''d like all images to be completed and submitted.  Now that the payment is guaranteed, the more the merrier! :)

I''ll try and give you a guide along the way as to styles that work well.  At the moment sdrum is on the money, but it''s anyone''s game.

Thanks for participating!
