Hey, guys. Welcome to Proko.
My name's Stan Prokopenko.
I got a little bit of my team here with me, and we're going to react...
Say hi, guys.
Sean: Hey!
We're going to react to some of the drawings you guys did from the challenge we posted
a few weeks ago.
In the video, "6 Pro Artists Sketch From Imagination", where I walked around Comic-Con and I challenged
a few of the artists there to draw a superhero based on an art word.
So they had to come up with their own superhero and draw it from imagination.
It was a cool video.
If you haven't watched it, go watch it.
But a bunch of you guys did also the same thing, you posted on Instagram, and I've only
seen a few.
But there are a bunch that I haven't seen yet, and I'm going to go through them now
and we're all going to react.
Okay.
Sean: Foe Shortener.
The what?
Sean: The Foe Shortener.
Oh, the Foe Shortener.
So this is one that we came up with.
Charlie: "If you gonna mess with me, you gonna mess with my brush."
Where is... I would assume there'd be some foreshortening...
Oh, oh, he's pointing.
Charlie: He's short.
He's pointing at us.
There's foreshortening in the hand.
It's a nice foreshortened hand.
I like it, xyfoid.
I wasn't expecting the drawing to be...
Sean: Very '30s gangster.
Well, and it's a really, really good drawing.
Charlie: Good start.
Very good start.
Okay, next one.
Whoa.
Why did you #prokofiev?
Prokofiev? Is that how you pronounce it?
Sean: Prokofiev.
Prokofiev?
Sean: Does it say the name?
I don't...oh, The Smugger?
Charlie: Smugger?
Is that an art term?
How does he...?
Sean: I don't know what a smugger is.
Man, I don't know.
If you're watching this, can you leave a comment and explain yourself?
Sean: Explain this!!!
All right, cool. Moving on.
Cast Shadow, this is cool. It's like a comic book.
The Cast Shadow.
Sean: Oh, it's like a mage.
Charlie: They're about to cast shadow.
Well, it looks like there's an actual shadow casting from him.
This is from cb_illustratie.
It says, "Happy first of Inktober."
What? Wait, is this Inktober, or...?
Charlie: Inktober crossover.
Sean: They combo'd.
Jeez, dude.
Double dipping.
"Today, I combined Inktober..." Oh.
He says it in the...
"Today, I combined Inktober with the challenge from Stan Prokopenko.
This is my take on cast shadow.
Today, I tried my hand at some hatching and an inkwash to challenge myself a bit.
Hope you guys like it."
I like it. It's cool.
Oh, wow. So this is the fourth one, JDartwork.
"Happy Inktober, everyone."
Again, you guys? Double dippers.
Okay, this is ballpoint, Jester Gesture.
Doing Gesture Jester, as proposed by Stan Prokopenko recently.
Sean: Cool.
Charlie: The most tongue-twisty of heroes.
Yeah, Gesture Jester.
That's cool. I like it.
The Jesture.
I'm so confused...
The Jester.
Sean: Maybe it's the Gesture?
Well, it's Jester with a J. Oh, wait, but there's an E at the...
Charlie: So it's just combining Jester Gesture in one word.
Wow, so clever man.
It's from Jeth Rogibbons.
Oh, Jethro Gibbons.
Okay, so he says, "The Jesture," with a J, "a master of deceit and mischief."
So he's just a jester, he's not even...he has nothing to do with gesture at all.
Sean: I mean, the pose is gesturing.
"One minute he's dazzling a crowd and juggling, and the next he's making an escape from the
scene of a homicide."
Charlie: Oh, God.
"Where did he find a knife?
He had it all along.
Misdirection is his favorite tool.
He uses his lanky build and expressive motions to create the perfect distractions."
Charlie: He's posed very fabulously.
Is he holding a calling card, like the Joker?
It almost looks like a drawing of that first one that we didn't understand, The Smugger.
It is The Smugger.
Look at it.
Charlie: Smugger crossover episode.
Number six, Assthetic.
Charlie: They did it.
Sean: Nice.
But she doesn't have much of an ass.
"Wanted to do this ArtTerm challenge by Stan Propkopenko..."
Can't even say my name.
"And my term was 'Assthetic.'
How do you think I did?"
I think she needed a bigger butt, dude.
Darth Shader.
Sean: Nice.
"Quick sketch, don't judge."
That's what he said.
Leodtoro, or Leo D. Toro.
Charlie: Is he hiding a galaxy under his arm?
Maybe.
It's because he's got shade.
Sean: He's just talking shit all the time.
Charlie: He's about to throw some shade.
Sean: He's about to toss, toss it out there.
Yeah, look at this mouth, dude.
That looks like only shade can come out of that mouth.
Charlie: Electronically distorted shade.
Darth Shader: I find your lack of skill disturbing.
Okay, this...
Sean: Oh, nice.
thedrowsydragoncomic.
That's pretty cool.
Spider-Bob the Pain-ter.
Wow, that's a lot. Those are two...
Sean: This is a multi mashup.
So it's like Spider-Man, Bob Ross, that is a pain-ter, with pain.
Together: Vin Easel. Yes!!
But where's the Vin Diesel reference?
Is there a car somewhere in there?
Sean: It's...well, bald.
Bald?
Charlie: Yeah, it's very bald.
Sean: It's a bald easel.
Charlie: Are those teeth?
"Sketch hero or villain challenge, this is Vin Easel, villain.
Hero turned villain with abandonment..."
Charlie: Oh, there's a whole backstory.
Wait, abandonment issues?
Does Vin Diesel have abandonment issues or something?
Sean: I don't know.
Charlie: Have to consult the Fast and Furious series.
Sean: Yeah, I've not watched "xXx" in a while, or "Riddick."
Resubmit with Vin Diesel reference.
Sean: Just paste his face on it.
Sean: Is this Marshall?
Sir Realism.
Yeah, Marshall.
Charlie: It's very Dali-esque.
Or...
Sean: Charlie?
Charlie: Salvador Dali?
No, or you!
Charlie: Me!?!
I'm pointing at you, Charlie.
Look, right?
Yeah.
It's cool. I like it, it's a cool character.
Oh, this is cool.
I like where it's going.
Okay, "They call him Artist Blok, the crusher of all creative spirits.
Maybe he's just grumpy because he has no arms."
Sean: I guess I would be too.
Captain Negative Space.
So he just writes negative comments and posts them up as signs.
Sean: He makes you defeat yourself by... you lose your self esteem.
Charlie: Kind of looks like the Six Flags old man.
Sean: It kind of does.
It does.
Oh, what's this one?
Sir Real...another Sir Realism, duplicate.
There have been a few duplicates.
This one's totally different though.
This is just kind of like he's got control of the world.
It's like...
Sean: Oh, Doctor Strange?
Doctor Strange.
He's kind of a Doctor Strange guy.
Sean: Yeah, there's a lot of...we could look at this for awhile.
Oh, man. There's a lot.
Charlie: There's layers to this.
Sean: There are layers.
Next.
Cross Hatch.
Hey, that one's taken, bro.
Peter Han did that one.
But this is fun too.
Sean: Oh, he's hatching.
It's a hatch...yeah.
Sean: He's angry.
Charlie: He's cross about it.
He's cross about being...
About hatching out of an egg?
That's funny.
Sean: That's some wordplay.
Yeah, I like it.
Thank you, amberdreams123.
Shade Fool.
What?
He's spinning a pencil.
He's shooting some kind of Nerf dart or something.
"Okay, this is fun.
This drawing is of proportions, anatomically incorrect.
Looks stiff and it sucks."
Oh, I thought you were describing your character.
You're just making fun of your own drawing.
Sean: Oh, it's probably like Mr. T maybe, the beard and the little top hat, or top hair kind of thing.
I pity the fool.
Charlie: I pity the shade? Sean: I pity the Shade Fool.
I shade the fool.
Charlie: Ain't got no time for the jibber-jabber.
Ooh, The Free Lancer.
This is one that I saw.
Free Lancer, quick super villain sketch.
It says, "[BEEP] you, pay me."
Charlie: I love how obese he is.
How what?
Charlie: The big gut hanging out.
Yeah, why...?
Sean: If you're sitting around drawing all day, you'll probably be gaining the gut.
Charlie: He's very dynamic for someone...
And it's not a lance, it's a brush.
Charlie: It's a lance brush. Sean: It's a lance brush.
Sean: I mean, is he a villain?
Why is he free?
Charlie: He's had to lance for free.
He wants to be paid.
Sean: He wants to be paid.
Oh, the free- That's what it is.
He's free.
He's saying, "Pay me."
Sean: Yeah, you need to learn how to make invoices.
"Proko's art challenge.
The Core Shadow Villain."
Charlie: I really like that one.
Yeah, it's a cool sketch.
"Huge thank-you to Proko for hosting the art challenge."
You're welcome.
Oh, and I commented, "Great job."
Sean: "Oh, this was me."
Oh!!
No, yeah, I did see this one. I like it.
Uh, Core Shadow, I didn't understand the meaning.
It's just a cool villain-looking guy.
I don't...
Charlie: Doesn't the core look like an Evangelion Angel core?
Sean: Oh, you're right.
Oh, the core. HIS core. Sean: The core of his... is in shadow.
Okay, okay.
Sean: It's the creature's core...
Sean: is in shadow. I will accept... your submission.
For what it's worth.
Cool, but I guess that's it.
Do we just leave it, just cut it off?
Charlie: Hard cut!
