# As a little artistic exercise I decided to draw the cast of Battlestar in the style of other artists on B3ta


Edit: Here are links to the profiles of each of the artists I was emulating
JollyJack
Walrus Man
HappyToast
Smallbrainfield
TheSundaeLunch
mofaha
chopchopchopchop
Matazone

And I am open to suggestions for other artists.

You can get a lot more tone in a piece, and of course, you can vary from really sharp detailed work like on the APC, and more scruffy unkempt lines like in my other stuff. :P

# These are brill
Recognised the style for all those I knew (if that makes sense), so your artistic exercise worked, as well as producing some crackin' arts.

Have to say that I think the portrayals of Six, Tigh and Starbuck with their associated "artist" are especially inspired.
