3D Head

Decided to do something I haven't in awhile and open up Zbrush. This was my first play around learning the tools again and getting use to it. There are more than a few things wrong with the anatomy but this first sculpt was more to just get back into using the program. So will continue to see what I can do in zbrush in the future, yup.

One new drawing, one from the archive.

Windrake

Windrake; A large insectoid creature found living in thick forested areas. It is said that the rapid wing beating of even a handful of Windrakes can create overwhelming gusts of wind capable of felling a tree.

Yet another elemental monster, this time a dragonfly with the wind alignment.

Bloodcat

I was struggling to think of something to draw, but I remembered this random art prompt generator a guy called Joshua mentioned. So, I tried it, and clicked generate a couple of times, and this came up.

Actually, I've been reading a book series called the O trilogy by Maurice Gee. There's this creature in it, that I fancied drawing, called the "bloodcat". They are, naturally, red, and thirst for blood. They live in hot lands, and are generally kept by the antagonists as terrifying creatures to set on others. In the second book, the main character actually ends up sparing the life of one that was enslaved by the dictator figure of the story. I don't remember what happens in the third book (just started it now, and haven't read it for a billion years) but I liked the "never should have let it live" idea. And these bloodcat creatures are pretty neat to read about. Can leap like, wayyy too many metres.

YUP SO WHATEVER ANATOMY. I JUST WANTED TO DRAW FOR FUN TODAY SUPER QUICKLY. I NEED TO SLEEP NOW.

Night humans!

Xmas rush

 Xmas rush is on.  That means I'd be bogged down on house cleaning and drawings for family.  Here have some flowers instead.  Pic from my reference photo collection for drawing.

Joshua Brouwer

A quick collaborative sketch between me and Channelle. I've been a bit sick this week so not much happening here.... yup.

Screen-tone, more like Scream-tone.

Who the hell is this bird, what's she doing?
What book is she perusing?

Why hasn't she finished that Gingerbread Man?
Why does she have so much free time?
These are the mysteries of the universe...

Block puzzle game mock-up

Another game screenshot mock-up from me -this time, in the style of a block/gem matching puzzle game for iOS/Android mobile devices.
I actually really dig games in this style -they're so addictive!

For CalliopeCloudCat

A rather quick (considering it's me) painting for one of my deviantART friends, CalliopeCloudCat! I really really really wanted to try digital painting someone without a generic anime button nose, so I took the opportunity here. Anyway, this is Rick! I used one of her sketches of him as a kind of reference. I know it's rough, but I hope you like it!

Cheat Character

Close up version.  Character sheet on facebook. 

Boss Fight Grindfest

Boss Fight Grindfest is a game for andoird phones I'm making with a friend of mine at the moment. I'll be doing the art and he will be doing the coding. It's pretty much a boss rush styled game with a town do some shopping and prep at between bosses. At the moment we are mainly working on just getting the basic sprites into a working demo which is coming along nicely. This guy above is the first class we class we will be adding to the game, which is just your standard warrior. He is in a working version of the game atm and once it looks a bit better ill try get some screenshots up.

Arctelk

Arctelk; An agile creature most commonly found residing in frigid areas. With rigid limbs which taper into a sharp point, wild Arctelk are often found skating gracefully over frozen lakes.

An 'icy steed', not unlike the one me and Channelle discussed earlier this year. Another elemental monster.

Progress: For an Annie

Since we've been working on our fighting game characters, I haven't done much else, but today I did start on a birthday gift for my friend and flatmate, Annie! I drew her an original character of hers last year for her birthday, but it really didn't capture the feeling of the character. I decided to try again this year! Here's what I've got so far:

Woo for flatmates!
