Welcome to Round 1 of SketchWars!

Since it's the first round ever, I'll keep it simple.

Theme: Illumination

Pretty much open-ended. Make sure there's at least some sort of light or illumination

Deadline:
Monday 13th

ah man I have a super busy week this week! Ill jjoin in one a few next time

Dang
well the contest goes on every two days so no worries

here's my sketch, however it doesn't count since I started the round. Just for fun

Is it okay if I make something traditional with Pastels?

you can use anything to make a sketch, traditional, digital, 3d, video, whatever you can use.

Here is my quick doodle, and by quick I mean very quick, messing with some new brushes, took around 20 minutes to paint and a further 10 minutes of colouring and adjustments.
As for what it is is started as some odd alien surface, that turned into an underwater scene so I painted in some big alien whale creatures. Lots of neon lights as well, kind of reminds me of Avatar a bit.

One other question, how the hell do I make my attached images bigger?

I upload mine to imageshack and then post the image, it'll automatically resize it to fit the thread. Nice sketches guys

Ahh I will try that one next time. You doing a sketch?

cool! Thanks for joining

Kaio is there supposed to be an image in your post? or you're uploading one?

Yeah I'll try to join in and do a sketch, but no I didn't have one in my previous post.

Alright I went ahead and did one up real quick, about 1hr work. I haven't really ever tried to actually do a concept sketch before, so I'm new at it. Also Sean, not sure if I remember seeing this in the rules or not, but are we allowed to have more than one sketch per round?
