After summoning fabled canine creatures in the first Sketch Off, this time we shall *draw a our own hands* with a twist, so to speak. Skill will triumph over chance in this gamble. Ain't that a full house. Welcome to *The Club of Antiheroes*! Since I can not send you out into the woods blindly I have prepared some samples in my creative kitchen. Remember I used the suit of Hearts, but you will be using the suit of Clubs so remember to go for more blacks. What I am looking for in your contest entry is something like this: ![suitofhearts.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXCrbeTEtaxYc4FgGYRRomFvxRCRMn7Tz3V6QUtfDVQLG/suitofhearts.png) > *Such a shame that Donald spilled all of his Grandmother's special raspberry jam all over these cards. What a mess!* Drawn by yours truly. As you can see we've got a fairly diverse Cast of Characters going on here with Super Duck, Harley Quinn, Vol'Jin and Optimus Prime. Feel free to branch out into whatever fictional universe you see fit. The style and colors of your design should fit together with the black *Suit of Clubs*! While I imagine the cards that I have drawn to be more in the "chaotic good" realm, yours should probably be "chaotic evil", but since we are playing with #Antiheroes you can interpret it a bit more loosely and have fun. Don't be afraid to be more creative than I! You don't need to draw four cards. It can be just one. Just to be sure, this is the suit: ♧ ♧ ♧ ♧ It also helps your chances if you include *at least* one process picture like this excellent example from the [previous #YearoftheDog Sketch Off](https://steemit.com/imaginarycreatures/@zeroooc/sketch-off-edition-1-imaginarycreatures-creative-drawing-contest) by @labeilleneigeux :)
