no. i think it's just taking forever! but i'm willing to wait if it will be good. :)

Well, we're both ready with our soldiers, but then we ran into the problem of the playing field. If I just had my one big scene, and he had his one big scene, the backgrounds would show where one ends and the other begins. So Dizzet is creating a full background and we'll lay out our players there once he's ready.

yeah im woking on the background but finding the time is a little hard :p but i hope i will finish it here in the weekend

c'mon you guys - we are all waiting in great anticipation....

this better be damn good! the wait is killing me!

Just waiting on the playing field here. My team is ready to go as soon as they've got somewhere to go to.

I just know that after this long this is
going to be the best thing that I've EVER
seen on the internet...EVER!!! ;)

Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to it. :)

Oh, just bumping this thread back to the top as a not-so-subtle hint to Dizzet to get that background finished.
*hint*
*nudge*
*wink*
*poke*
*point*
*wave arms*

Where are the works in progress?

ya! i'd like to atleast see something. even if it's just sketches.

But the works-in-progress at this point are fully finished pictures. I'd love to finally be able to post my stuff, but I don't know when it's happening. Unless, Dizzet, you want to settle for a simple gradient or horizon line background?

backgrounds dont really matter.. i think everyone including me just wants to see a battle!! :thumbsup:

is this ever gonna happen?

Ah yes, it's that time of the month again when people dig through the old threads and wonder "is that el pollo and dizzet battle ever gonna happen?"
Well, Dizzet, is it? Hello? Anyway, I say we just forget the background and show our hands already. Let's make this finally happen.

will it go 1 year before we see it? is dizzet still alive? someone check up on him!

Just show us, damnit! :D

I messaged Dizzet but still haven't received a response.
You still out there?
I don't want to just post half a scene. But it really has been quite a while...

I motion to get the name of this thread changed to "El Polly Vs. Dizzet - Battle Scene Challenge Forever"

ya know like duke Nukem forever...

hehehe

No response from Dizzett yet.
So if I still haven't heard anything in one week, I will post my half.

Heaven vs....
 

According to his profile, it's been almost 2 months since Dizzet has even been on TFP. So I guess I'll finally go ahead and post my half. You better enjoy this because I'm so going to hell for it...

flippin sweet, pollito.

so let's see, we got jesus & the holy water, some sort of transformer pope, zeus, is that mercury?, and umm, a (holy?) ghost??

i think your seat on the bus ride to hell will be held open for you.
i'll be one the kicking the back of your seat.

thanks for showing.
i hope all is well in dizzet's world.
perhaps nancy can provide some insight.

LOL! Nice Pollo. I thought this was going to be "serious" pencil drawings, boy was I surprised. Still good though!

Glad to surprise you. I couldn't take this too seriously. I just had to goof it up.

No Zeus or Mercury here. I kept it with a Christian heaven. But it is kinda cluttered and hard to see so allow me to break it down for you "Director's Commentary" style. We'll start with...

Mecha-Pope
This went through several incarnations before becoming what it is. It started as Pope in a tank with his bulletproof glass cage up on top. Then it became kind of an ED209 mech, and then finally became Mecha-Pope.

Holy Ghost
 

Holy Ghost
This one began as a spirit looking thing that didn't fit in with the rest of the cast. Then became a kind of ghost bird since it is usually represented by a dove. Still wasn't really liking that idea so I stopped thinking "Holy Spirit" and began thinking "Holy Ghost." That's when I got the idea for a skinny little kid in stomping boots wearing a sheet.

God
 

God
Then there's God. Originally intended to be in robes with a flowing white beard and a lightning bolt, all that I kept was the lightning bolt form that. For the rest of it I decided to design him as a wrestler, hence the muscles, headband, and mutton chops. I drew this last year, and now I'm hearing that WWE is doing a wrestling match with God. They must be spying on me...

Angel
 

Angel
Angels are like the foot soldiers for God, so that's why I made my angel into an army guy. Combat boots, olive pants, gray army t-shirt, dog tags, combined with the angel attributes of wings and flaming sword.

Jesus
 

Jesus
Jesus is my favorite on of the group and I knew exactly how I wanted him to look from the beginning. He carries water guns loaded with Holy Water while scooting around on roller skates. Why roller skates? Because it's tough to move around when you're bearing the weight of the world's sins on your back.

I simply cannot put into words just how much ass this kicks!

All the characters are so well-drawn, and with so much detail gone into both the drawing and the thought behind it all. You rock, my friend.

Hopefully, they'll give you one of those little fans to keep you cool...coz there's no way God's letting you into Heaven now. :D

May I say damned good job?

Actually El Pollo - you ought to go straight to heaven in my way of thinking. A strong group of characters, with their attributes based on their positive abilities, and all well intended as opposed to meaning to be a diss - and not a misstep anywear. No ride on the Hell express for you my friend. Excellent work in conception and execution.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Hopefully we'll get to see Dizzet's side someday.

Ya, Jesus one is my favorite too. I can totally see this as some funny cartoon show, similar to ATHF in style. Let me know if you need a writer! :D

BTW, so how do you draw those? Sketch by hand and scan, or all on computer, or what? And if so, what program?

Pencils, then inks, then eraser to clean up all my stray pencil marks. Then I scan it in and Photoshop away.
