Color me Jinky Challenge


For our March challenge, we'll be celebrating our Spotlight Artist for March: Jinky Coronado as well celebrating one her upcoming projects, an adult coloring book or two called Beautiful Dreamers. The challenge is called "Color Me Jinky"
The rules are simple... take any line art by Jinky Coronado and add colors. Jinky has even been generous enough to offer a few hi-rez images to use for the contest.
You can find them here:




Oh... and it gets even better! At the end of the month, we'll take a week to poll votes to determine a winner, who will receive a personalized signed copy of Banzai Girl, vol 1: By Dreams Betrayed!
You have til the end of March to submit your challenge entry. Time to color Jinky's world, Heromorphers!

That Sounds Awesome!

Lady H, I would like to step in on this one for just a second. I love the idea of this challenge and while I would love the chance to with this AWESOME Prize,I want to make this quick change to the rules.

Moderators are encouraged to partake in submissions, however, images submitted by Heromorph moderators will not be used in the final voting. Only images submitted by non moderators will be eligible for voting.

So sharpen those crayons, moisten the markers, ready finger paints or fire up the cpu for digital.. what ever it takes and show us your skills in coloring!

I think that's a terrific idea, Dark Wanderer. I also think this is a fun contest with a great prize. I'm hoping we see some good participation from our membership. I love your idea and agree with a small exception... Moderators shall be excluded from taking home the prize UNLESS there are only moderator entries. After all, you've got to be in it to win it.

Prize or no prize, this sounds like fun! Count me in!

Bumping the Jinky coloring challenge in case you missed or ignored it last time!

I also figured this might be a good time to show you an example. The last time we saw Biohaz_Daddy in our galleries was almost 3 years ago, when he pulled a total precog move by completing this challenge long before it was announced!

EXPOSURE: A STUDY IN SILVER! by Jinky Coronado,


and colored by Biohaz_Daddy

and also colored by Jinky's colorist, Katrina MaeHao...

Just to put in my 2 cents here...
I think this is an incredible idea for a contest! (And a great precedent for future contests involving some sort of tribute to the artist of the month)

If I had ANY sort of talent for painting, coloring or the like, and any time in my life recently to devote to it...
I would try every one of Miss Coronado's line art pieces.
And I'm gonna try to find time for at least one...but no promises.

Hopefully there are many aspiring colorists out there who'll give this a try. ( I know there are a bunch of Heromorphers who can do this, I've seen your work)

So consider this both high praise for the contest creator and all who enter, as well as a BUMP for the contest itself.

Good Luck to all who enter!

Thank you for that ringing endorsement, Drunken Dragon! I could not agree more with what you've said! I hope you do find the time to enter this challenge. I'd love to see the good things I know you could do with Jinky's lines.

Well, only half the month left but still plenty of time left to show your love of Jinky's work, get a chance to work with her art and maybe even win a neat prize!

Well, we have our first entry. It's from pijon...

Well, it looks like we've got more entries for the coloring challenge like this terrific piece from Dark Wanderer!

...and a fantastic job by Drunken Dragon too!

Lady H,Quick question. Will the Great and Awesome Jinky be judging this contest,or will it be a public vote?

Normally we would bring a challenge to a public vote but I think having Jinky judge this one is a terrific idea. We are still following your last suggestion though in which you and pijon have graciously and generously agreed to remove yourself from the vote for being mods so with only one other entry, a vote is not necessary. So while all 3 entries looked great, a special congratulations to our winner, Drunkendragon! We'll be contacting you about your prize shortly once we get our details sorted out.

Agreed and Congrats DD!

Indeed! Excellent job, DD! Congrats!
