Alrighty with this challenge being a bit longer and over the x-mas break ill give this a great crack. This will be like a few people here my first competition, im thinking along the lines at the moment of like a huge tackle really up-close right in your face maybe gridiron or just a huge hit in N.H.L. With this i will try to really portray a lot of power and energy. Should have some sketches up later of what i mean more this is very early concept phases. I finish my exams in three days so itll all be starting then lol.
