Monster ladies.

Because monster ladies.

Weekly challenge was 3D this week -

but I'll repost here. Oversized pet was the theme....

GIBSON!

...got to see the @GreatDismal himself yesterday! Sketched a little portrait/cariacature:

mo' bat

Moonbat

...not sure where this guy guy came from, but I like him, so he can stay.

Quickie Dino warmup

BIG HEAD

Quickie for work challenge - Big and small was the theme. I liked it.

Weekly Challenge: draw yourself as an Oni

I picked the Tengu subset, 'cause I like their red skin, and they have big honkin' noses like mine...(picture provided for comparison)

Weekly Challenge: your favorite childhood cartoon character, drawn as a carnivorous plant...

This was a fun one.
.....watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat...    ...again?

Work Challenge; Part Three

The Challenge - Prehistoric Cyborg. 

The Result - Tyrannosauri with cyborg arms, natch.

Secondary result - WOOOOO!

More work weekly challenges...

...with an extra dash of silliness. This week was, 'The Urisk' - a celtic version of the man-goat. Not being the discriminating type, I opted for both interpretations.

Art Challenge - Work edition

We've got a new weekly challenge at work - a rotating, you-call-it design task. This week, Tsinoy the Tracker, a character from 'Hull Zero Three' (haven't read it myself). The character is described as such:


"....It's got "ivory plates", "ruby eyes", "wolflike posture", and rips the shit out of things. It can move its plates and claws by moving around its muscles, changing form and placement of said plates and blades and teeth. Technically it's "a special type of bioweapon designed to hunt and kill any native creatures that might compete with Terran life".

"Shining ivory spines ripple and fold back like bristled fur . . . Its body, below ridges of pale bristle, is corded with glistening spiral bands of muscles connected to silvery-gray bones."

And here's what I got!:

Toying with some new Japanese brush pens - and trying to figger out how to spot black while inking. Default to my space bugs and robots, of course...

quick sketches...

some pen-only doodles (toned with a dash of photoshop).

Robots live in my brain, and force me to draw them. Really.

goblinzz

more quick studies...

MOAR SPEEDPAINT

...trying to keep up with the COW challenges; one hour per creature...

Speed Paints continue!

Great Armored Bird, Flightless.

Creature of the week challenge at CA.org

Doing the Gnomon Challenge...

...and Thorin Oakenshield is the subject.

After some research I found that Thorin is bombastic, officious, very stubborn, and even a bit greedy. He is also, however, a powerful warrior who eventually overcomes his weaknesses to make the ultimate sacrifice for his kin and kind. Fun character to design too, as the Dwarves of Tolkien's lore are not well described. It gives a designer quite a bit of leeway.

Anyway, first pass here:

post number one...

...of one hundred! - speed paints, that is. Forcing my hand back into painting. So. Here is a birdman thing? And another magic cloak guy.

something?
