Here it is at last, the next Golden Pen challenge. I was honored to win, since I've not been here long.
Anyways, the challenge can include legendary or fictitious people, even fairy tale characters - to keep the category broad.
Hope you all find it fun! Winner to be announced sometime on Saturday 11th July!

I don't know what "Golden Pen challenge" is but topic sounds interesting.

Watzup

The last topic was fish. I saw your entry in Challenge III. I don't know why it's called that either!

Watzup

I'm putting my Banksy in to start this off.
He's fast become a living folk hero. Reknowned for witty streetart, he is wanted by the police for 'defacing' buildings with his art, but is loved by the majority of the public, because of his audacity and political comment, much of it done with humour. Recently he took over a museum in Bristol, UK to stage an exhibition. He remains unidentified and uncaught.

Last chance for entries. Closes on 11th and Login and Qsilv need some more competition!

Wow - ending so soon? I'm in a drawing slump but here are ideas I came up with and anyone is free to use them. the blue ox, Daniel Boone, Lone Ranger, Tonto, Dale and Roy and trigger, Lassie, rin tin tin, Deputy Dog, Rocky and bullwinkle, mighty mouse ... not sure all of these apply - : )

Qsilv

I *thought* of a bunch, but I've had precious little time to even read and do comments; the thought of starting a drawing and finding four hours have gone by... just... gives... me... chills....!

Login

I've got the same problem, Q ... but I'd love someone to have a go at Robin Hood, TinTin, Speedy Gonzalez and Dan Dare.

Qsilv

Can't we just sorta lump all those together? You know, like in a pyramid... I can see it now... look! There's William Tell standing on top, bow drawn, aiming down at ...er.. oops.. Paul Bunyon's blue ox 'Babe'... but he'll be stopped by Robin Hood sneaking around from behind Davy Crockett's coonskin cap... unless of course Mighty Mouse has managed to climb to the top before Rocky vaults offa Bullwinkle's antlers.... (hey wait... mooses are my specialty!) etc etc ad absurdum ad nauseum... ;>

Login

Never mind the mooses, Q ... get yourself back here. I can hear the cavalry coming!

marius

Qsilv, LOVE your idea and description of pyramid drawing. Can see it all quite clearly!

And .... Login, who is Dan Dare???

Login

Do you know, marius, it's so long ago, I can't remember ... oh yes I can! He was captain of a space ship in the Eagle comic. That must be going back to the early 1950's ... long before most of you were a twinkle in your parents eyes. Sorry about that ... I'll try to drag my memory forward a few decades.

marius

I was a twinkle in mid-50's so probably missed out on Dan Dare by only a few years. Will look him up. Am having lots of fun though - thinking we were all twinkles at one time! It is cracking me up! : )

Watzup

So the time has come.... so many great ideas, but only two of them drawn! After much deliberation and with thanks to Qsilv for her legendary Johnny Appleseed, the winner is Login! I wnet for the worldwide appeal of her cheeky fella. Off you go then Login, the Golden Pen Challenge awaits. It'll be a challenge to get anyone to draw! lol!

Goodness! Thank you, Watzup ... I'm honoured, especially as it was a scruffy drawing. There are not so many regulars drawing these days, so I will have to try to make it broadly appealing. Hmmm ... well, some time back, we had a fantastic showcase for Songtitles. It was by far the most subscribed to Showcase and the drawings just kept coming, right up to the last minute. So that's my choice ... Songtitles. They can be as simple or as complicated as you like, but don't make us guess ... use the song title that the drawing represents. For those who need ideas, have a look in Songtitles Showcase, but try not to repeat what has already been done. However, there will be no penalties for duplications, just so long as you don't copy a picture that has been done in the Songtitles Showcase. Cut off time will be midnight TD time on Sunday 19th July MMIX. I will hand on the Golden Pen the following day. Let's put on a good show.
