Just got back from the San Jose Super Con. We had a great time up there. Thank you, everyone for stopping by and making the con a fun one!!!!!!!
Hmmmmmmmmmm... what's new?
Well, the Kuta vinyl toy is getting really near. Thank you all for your preorders and emails about the product. From the looks of the schedule, I should have the shipment in my possession 2 weeks before San Diego Comicon.
That being said... Who's interested in being part of the Kuta vinyl contest?
I've asked several of my close friends, and peers to draw a Kuta card, but I kept one spot open for the winner/YOU, of this contest, to be included in the line-up of cards that comes inside the box.
It'll be like the art cards you see in DVD boxsets for cartoons.
The specifics:
*The dimensions should be 4.25 x 5.5.
*All art is to be 300 dpi resolution.
*You can draw it either vertically or horizontally.
*Entries can be digital files, but can also be done traditional.
But the end result needs to be a digital file.
*The card is to feature Kuta. However, if you want to include other characters from the Bastion's 7 universe on the card, then feel free to go crazy!!
*You can post the entries in your galleries, but be sure to paste the link here in the journal, so we can all peep it.
I'll make the decision of the winner within 2 weeks. The winner will also have the opportunity to include their bio because I'll be putting it on the back of the card.
Good luck!!!
I thought you might get a kick seeing how the box looks. Big thank you to Leonardo Olea for preparing it for me.

Yay contest. Let's get it on 'cause we don't get along... well, I'm sure we'd all get along if we met... that was just a... sigh. Never really been good at taunting.
Yay contest?

I want to make something for that contest.
Does it have to be a full body of Kuta or can it be a portrait?

So here's my entry for the Kuta art card contest...peeps it here
http://eyean.blogspot.com/2009/05/kuta-contest.html
I'm digging this design, but I've got one question (if that's not cheating)...is this guy human under all that, or is he a demon/robot/alien/other? I guess I'm asking "Is that a mask, or his face?"
Cool, I love your work and what Irene did really kicks ass, y=the vinyl looks so good.
Here is my contribution, hoping that french can also take part in it.

Virtual Barata - I just noticed that we named our pieces the same thing. That is very weird. I promise I wasn't copying. I just noticed yours after I posted mine.
Yours is very fun. I like it.
Chris Boyd,
Don't worry.
Despite the same names, the ideas are completely different. Besides his art is a joke with the Karate Kid and my dont...
I like your art too. Good luck!

Heya, folks! I forgot to specify when the cut-off time for today's deadline for the Kuta Art Card Contest is. It is @ 6pm Standard Pacific.
Thank you all for your gorgeous pieces! My eyes are sore from all the beauty they hold.
I'll post my decision @6. :) Good luck, gang!
Firstly, before I announce the winner, I'd like to say thank you all for participating in the contest! I never thought it would have so many participants.
You all did an AMAZING job on your art cards. Because of all the entries I have given it alot of thought, (and have been asked by many), to possibly make a tribute book later on down the line from all the contestant entries. It's not set in stone, but if I can come up with the funds I'd love to do that. What say you?
Any participants interested will be awarded with 2 copies of the Kuta Tribute book for your hard work. More specifics will be known once I figure it all out.
Ok...... here we go, after a brutal battle royale of all the wonderful Kuta cards, I announce that Geosette being the winner.
If you haven's seen his Kuta card entry, here it is:Geosette's Kuta Card Entry
Congrats, Geosette!
With the announcement being out I want you all to know you all are winners in my book. Keep up the amazing art!!!!!
Congrats Geosette! Great JOB! And thank you Cheeks for doing the contest, and putting up with all us artists!
A tribute book sounds GREAT! Let me know, and maybe I can do some of the Pre-Press or design work on it to help out, and make it possible! God knows I do enough of that!
Amazing work by all,
Peace,
Corey Breen

-->> AMAZIN, G !!
-->> .. o yeh i wouldn't mind donating funding or otherwise for a book - ISH type thingo with Peoples' KUTAs.. ;]
X]
Yeah I think I would be able to throw some coin your way for the book... Just let us know what needs to be done!
Thanks Cheeks
- Josh
Congratulation to the winner!
Sign me up for a tribute book. It's a great idea. Tell me what you want, I have Hi-rez pic on my drive here.
I am so sorry I don't know how to express how honored I am, there was so many amazing artworks from people I am a big fan of since high school.
Once again, THANK YOU.
My question now is : What do I have to do next?
PS: How did you know june 2nd was my birthday ?
Yay contest.
Congrats Geosette. With such an original style, it's no wonder you won.
And for what it's worth, I'm in for a book.
The book is a good idea- I am so for it. Thanks again Cheeks for letting us humble artists take part in such a great thing and giving us the time-of-day. :]
Mel
A big congrats! to the winner, Geosette, and thank you Cheeks for giving us this oppertunity to draw one of your awesome charactures, iv'e been a fan for years, Thanks! a tribute book sounds geat, just let me know what you need.
I'm def game for a tribute book! Big ups to Geosette, great piece! Thanks Cheeks for doin the contest!
Superb work Geosette, congratulations.
A collection of all those images would be great, looks like you stirred a whole heap of talented people into action.
Rob
My friend Joe told me about your contest, and, being an idiot, forgot to check if it was still open...
i got WAY into a sketch before I realized it was closed, but thought I'd post it anyway...
Awesome art Cheeks!
http://mikeyroberts.deviantart.com/art/Cheeks-Kuta-contest-125569008
Happy belated birthday, Geosette. My dad's b-day is that day, too. to answer your question as to what to do next, can you email me a high-res of your card entry, and a bio with a photo or caricature of yourself to be on the back of it. your card will be placed in the box amongst the other cards of artists i invited to be in it.
also once i announce the vinyl is in my possession please hit me up with your mailing address then, so i can mail out a colored vinyl to you. congrats, again, bud!
