![]() In case anyone is short on time but would like some help brainstorming (or fleshing out) ideas for their contest entry:
Review your list and select your strongest ideas (if you don't like any, try again). If you have one or two favorites that could use some fleshing out, set the timer for another five minutes and brainstorm about them. If you’re on a roll, set the timer for another five minutes and let it rip. Repeat until you have enough to work with. I’ll post my results below. Feel free to do the same.

![]() After five minutes, this is the list I came up with regarding a "boss fight":
Looking over the list, I felt the ones likely to lead to the strongest illustrations were:
I spent another minute quickly jotting down the elements of a potential scene for each idea: boss of the office vs angry employee(s)
I explored each idea with some tiny thumbnails of potential scenes and picture elements and decided that the sweatshop scenario was the stronger candidate. BANG. Only 15 minutes in, and there is clear direction as to what I'm going to draw. Next comes some visual dev work (but that would be a separate exercise).

![]() This. I like this. I like it a lot.
I had a couple ideas when I was deciding what to do, and I gotta say, Shadow of the Colossus was one that came up during brainstorming session. ![]() I didn't do it like you did, but I like the way you have it organized. I'm gonna keep this in mind for future projects. <3 |

![]() WHAT? An excercise that isn't drawing? In 5 minutes? I could do this right now!
Ok not so sure if i can cook up anything in 5 minutes as i've previously mentioned, i am creatively bankrupt when it comes to ideas. In 5 minutes i came up with: Man vs food Pariah vs the betrayer Man stuck in pipe versus collosual monster thing man vs his own shadow persona style soldier facing his dead comrades amnesiac soldier facing his old imaginery evil self Good and Evil joining forces to fight a greater evil Grim reaper vs evil god. 2nd gen Grim reaper vs 1st grim reaper Man vs god silverback gorrila vs crocodile dracula vs alucard prototype 2 mass effect 2 mario vs sonic man vs woman adam vs eve human vs alien diver vs kraken thing hacker vs massive robot the student vs corrupted mentor detective vs demonic entity good vs evil vengeful ghost vs demons. Ok 5 MINUTES ARE UP! Plenty of stuff there. some of it Garbage. Lets sift through whats interesting: Pariah vs the betrayer Man stuck in pipe versus collosual monster thing man vs his own shadow persona style soldier facing his dead comrades amnesiac soldier facing his old imaginery evil self Good and Evil joining forces to fight a greater evil Grim reaper vs evil god. 2nd gen Grim reaper vs 1st grim reaper diver vs kraken thing hacker vs massive robot the student vs corrupted mentor detective vs demonic entity good vs evil vengeful ghost vs demons. Bullshit. too many of them and nothing in there that i would attempt without a certain unease. So FILTER and siphon what we want: Pariah vs the betrayer -Far too difficult to show in one picture Man stuck in pipe versus collosual monster thing -This looks do able. man vs his own shadow persona style -Maybe.... soldier facing his dead comrades -Sounds interesting but really difficult to pull off amnesiac soldier facing his old imaginery evil self - Another psychological one. Would make a more intersting graphic novel scene then a picture Good and Evil joining forces to fight a greater evil -Not really boss fight. but i could see this in a marvel comic like xmen Grim reaper vs evil god. -tough and generally tacky idea 2nd gen Grim reaper vs 1st grim reaper -again difficult to set up. all we have is 2 emo gothic characters having at it. Scrap diver vs kraken thing -Do able i suppose in the right scene and if i could draw squid hacker vs massive robot Possible, but this one is vague the student vs corrupted mentor -Star wars. Tough to pull off in one picture detective vs demonic entity -Another maybe. But it might be rather generic without a good action scene good vs evil -that's not saying anything constructive. might as well have said Protagonist vs antagonist, A or B vengeful ghost vs demons. -This would be knights in the nightmare - Tough to pull off unless we make the ghost angelic cutting through the darkness. But thats not a boss fight, that's ascension Disappointingly very little to go on: Man stuck in pipe versus collosual monster thing hacker vs massive robot diver vs kraken thing detective vs demonic entity Some very boring generic ideas. I'll try again another time. Your turn guys.

![]() (I think) I've already got my idea picked out and started on, but I think I'm going to contribute a bit to flesh my idea out and see what else I can come up with. BAM!
1. Employee vs Employer/Boss (Daydreaming maybe) 2. Soldiers vs Monster 3. Monster vs Soldier 4. Technological force vs Natural Force (or vice versa) 5. Student vs Final Exam 6. Hero vs Mechanical Entity 7. Doppelganger Boss fight 8. Young Hero vs Older Former Hero/Instructor 9. Sword-Toting Character vs Gun-Toting Character I'm working on something similar to number 9, but with a Super Sentai take on it. I really like the ideas I've seen on here, I hope to see a lot of submissions. Quote:

![]() I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are mistaken. Write to me in PM, we will talk.
