It would seem to be colored pencil.
Here are the few sketches I worked on today. I decided to use the good kirby, the KO'ed goomba, the star, and the smaller sword design in my final piece. Drawing that window was no problem, but placement... :S
My submission is not yet in this bunch, sorry. :P
Wow...how my parents scanner sucks. >.>
Just ignore this, it was only practice:

And a glimpse of some of the final:

Wow, Jazz. I wish I had more time to put into mine, because I'm pretty sure you're going to crush it. :sa-frown:
And here I was starting to wonder if we'd gotten an extension for no reason. :wacko:
My submission.

I definitely like your Kirby better than mine, and I didn't bother with any lovely looking pencil shading (which is like the only thing I'm good at) since I was trying to get nice, clear lines and color. It looks like you're using a computer program as well, which I lack the ability to do.
You're so going to beat me.
I'm pretty sure you should be banned.
Ill have my final before the 9th is over, don't worry. :lol
You may think these look nice, but its more about placement, since your specifications are so strict, and also how well the tattooist can ink it.
What I have on paper in front of me may be my best sword ever, but I am worried the atmosphere will be too shallow. What I mean shallow is that there are no vanishing points, and it seems more 2D than is good.
I have a general idea of what I want, but if there is something that obviously just doesn't work, then as long as most of the elements are incorporated into the design in some fashion, then that's all that I am looking for. :P Since this is the first time I've ever gotten someone else to design a tattoo for me, it's kind of hard to envision how to tell them what I want while at the same time giving them free license.
I plan on closing this by the time that I get back from work tomorrow (around 5PM PST. It is currently 12:34AM PST, when I post this... post. Thing). So as long as it is in by then, or at least reasonably close to, I will still allow it. That sword, from what I saw, looked fucking amazing, and the Kirby sketch was really freaking cool.
Mine is nothing but 2D. I obviously need to drop out of school and become an artist so I can have time to beat Jazz in a contest.
jkno, I'd rather have a decent paycheck every week or two. :wacko:
I'll check in when Drag posts again to see when you win, then no one ever has to see mine! ^^;;;
So I've decided to extend this to midnight, my time, just to make it worthwhile. And to give Jazz that one last chance to make his submission on the deadline, 'cause I liked what I saw.
So Jazz, you have approximately 7 more hours. :P Better get crackin'.
