Hi all,

We have a quite special micro challenge this time, a tribute to the art of Clément Sauvé.
We would like to allow 4 weeks for this challenge so our current deadline will be the 17th of March 2011 at 9pm NZ time.
Check out what time it will be in your city here

Please post all wips in this thread, and add a subject title to your final entry post (something like "Final entry - username").
Also please include the artwork you've used in your final post if you decided to follow a specific one.

There will be a front page plug and micro challenge award for the winner, 2nd and 3rd place will also get a micro challenge award.

Here are Rodrigue's instructions:

This past January, artist Clément Sauvé passed away after a long battle with cancer, at the age of 33. Clément worked for DC Comics on such projects as 'JLA Secret Files', 'Stormwatch' and 'The Human Defense Corps'.
Additionally he lent his talents to the 'Voltron', 'GI Joe/Transformers' and 'Infantry' for Devil’s Due Publishing.
Most recently, Sauvé redesigned many characters for the movie 'G.I. Joe Renegades' and created amazing character concepts for the EA's 'Army Of Two: 40th day'.

Best known for his distinctive graphic style, Sauvé characters jumped off the page with big bold shapes, exaggerated proportions, and tons of personality and attitude.

I can already imagine a bunch of them in 3D, especially the AO2 concepts are just plain awesome.
Would be an awesome modeling exercise, just hope I can make it fit with everything else.
