December 2012 Theme – “Tower”


Marci, Nick . Tower (The 3rd Version).
N.d. Fantasy Art, Novosibirsk.
www.arthit.ru. Web. 19 Dec. 2012.
Our first themed portfolio piece here at Art Jam will be in honor of Peter Jackson’s new title The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. While the critical jury is still out on the film, we will honor his previous work with our theme of “Tower.” That is right; “Tower” is the theme of your illustration. Feel free to interpret in this any way you see fit. Draw skyscrapers, a princess escaping her prison, or whatever your creative minds can conjure.

All pieces must be sent in the comment section of this post with your name, title and a let bit about the piece. The deadline for any form of a critique or feedback on your piece will be December 31, 2012. Let’s hope the Mayans were wrong.


Good luck everyone, happy holidays and let’s jam it out.

    Took the theme tower and incorporated Assassin's Creed into it. I definitely need help and tips when it comes to drawing hands and dynamic perspective

    1. The perspective at least gets the point across. I like the darker, bolder lines at places but I'd push the black even further and maybe utilize some of them on the far arm. I think the two major things I'd change/add would be some connecting elements between 'Ezio' and the ledge he's leaping from. Obviously he has just leaped from there, but I think some debris or dust trail either falling from the ledge, leading from him or both would sell it more and not seem so disparate. Also, the soldier firing his bow doesn't have very convincing weight behind the bow release. You have some motion blur on the arrow, but not on the bow itself. Aside from that I think it's pretty successful. Good work, and hey you actually finished on time, unlike me.

  2. That is a great idea, adding a slight puff of dust or perhaps maybe a splinter or two.
