Artists need a place to show off and Whitechapel should always be It. A handful of entries will be showcased on Bleedingcool at the end of each challenge.



THE RULES:

This is for ART ONLY. Any pen-portraits, or crappy scribbles padded-out with words, will cause a deployment of the newly-trained Urethral Attack Maggots. And a banned account.

No stock-photo manipulation. No half-arsed bollocks. Anything deemed to be piss-takery will be nuked from orbit. Original photography is fine.

No more than ONE submission by any one person.

INSTRUCTIONS:

THE EYE SEES…

…is quite possibly the single most bizarre superhero ever to grace the page. Created by Frank Thomas in 1939, it doesn’t get much pottier than this. Thanks again to the excellent Jess Nevins for flag-waving the madness.

The ingredients are familiar – he’s a guy with amazing powers, a bunch of daring allies, a thing for smug bon mots and an unshakeable obsession with achieving justice – it’s just that he also happens to be a gigantic golden flying fiery-shrouded eye, for fuck’s sake, beyond time and space, which butts into people’s lives like some occult sexpest Voyeur-God, demands they risk their necks doffing-up muggers and pirates and dinosaur-clonists and Nazi kittens and gonad-surgeons and buggery-hijackers and, and, and really I don’t even need to be making-up these baddies because LOOK IT’S A GIANT GLOWING EYE, GUYS, SRSLY, LOOK AT IT, IT EVEN FUCKING TALKS AND GLOATS AND SHIT, and it doesn’t need to be any sillier than that.

As the ever-reliable Dan Markstein’s Toonopedia puts it: “The Eye missed being properly referred to as simply a flying eyeball by never quite being seen floating freely, or shown from behind. It seemed to have skin, even lashes, and was sometimes surrounded by what looked like yellow fire. It could have been interpreted as a giant humanoid, peeping through a flaming hole in the air. No explanation was ever given as to where it came from or what made it what it was. It was just there, turning up from time to time to help a good guy and/or hinder a bad one, neither of which would be seen in subsequent stories. It talked (again, without a mouth) like an omnipotent, omnibenevolent being, with a strong flair for melodrama.”

I can even offer you a full online adventure of THE EYE SEES, just so you can see for yourself how batshit ludicrous this stuff is.

That’s sort of the challenge right there, in fact. How do you reinvent something which is already a) simple and b) UTTERLY MENTAL, for today’s thrill-inured cynical comic reader?

Bring me the Strange, my hovering conjunctivae of crazy. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328368#Comment_328368 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328368#Comment_328368 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 05:26:29 -0700 johnjones

Of course, it's such a... singular idea that it could easily be revisited after three years to very different effect.

For those coming fresh, maybe avoid looking all the way through.

I layer a bunch of different colors, like blues for water, yellow/orange/red for fire, etc. For the iris of the eye I just took the 'fire' and applied a 180° arc in Illustrator, rotated a couple of copies, tweaked it a bit, added a couple of shaded overlays for depth and boom, eyeball. You can see a couple of duplicated shapes in there, usually I edit them out, but I only had an hour to fit this in. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328556#Comment_328556 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328556#Comment_328556 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:52:01 -0700 dnewling http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328558#Comment_328558 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328558#Comment_328558 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:55:52 -0700 FredG http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328596#Comment_328596 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328596#Comment_328596 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:20:19 -0700 kmcleod ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328652#Comment_328652 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328652#Comment_328652 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:31:09 -0700 Molcher ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328656#Comment_328656 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328656#Comment_328656 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:12:29 -0700 Greasemonkey http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328672#Comment_328672 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328672#Comment_328672 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 21:00:02 -0700 lomopop ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328687#Comment_328687 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328687#Comment_328687 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:09:14 -0700 Rootfireember ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328714#Comment_328714 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328714#Comment_328714 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 04:40:56 -0700 Horrible Warning Si http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328716#Comment_328716 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328716#Comment_328716 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 04:51:30 -0700 Molcher http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328895#Comment_328895 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10586&Focus=328895#Comment_328895 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:17:20 -0700 Anopheles
