Beauty and the Beast

we had a speedpainting break at work the other day. Jen had drawn a rough doodle of something weird and Mr. Covernton and I decided to expand on her idea. This is what i ended up with.

spaceships

More spaceships. The

top one was a quick

demonstration of digital

painting that i did for

my brother, but im pretty

happy with how it turned

out. the design was

based on a crab i saw

at the aquarium. The

bottom on i did years ago,

even before the age

of photoshop.

Drawings

Haven't fed my blog for a while, so heres an offering for
this month.

A woggle of witches

Well maybe theres not a woggle of em
(how much is a woggle anyway?)
but i did include the lady with
a gourd for a head and the one eyed boy
they found in the woods!

Varmint

I saw 310 to Yuma (Neat movie, the coolest cowboy
movie since Outlaw Jose Wales) so i had to draw a cowboy.

This started as a speed painting but turned into a six hour project.

Illithids

Arent they cute when they re little? I had the idea of of doing a portrait after seeing the impressionist display at the vancouver art gallery and this is what i ended up with. The other drawings are from earlier this year when I became inspired by some street performers at the PNE. The bejing acrobats were technically amazing, but i also ran into a couple of ozzies who screwed up a bunch of their acts and were bitching each other out, but then managed to pull off an insanely hard trick, namely spinning 6 hullahoops while standing on top of each other. I was impressed.

The pondering of Scamandros

Some more stuff, once again fantasy based. The old computer had a viral relapse, forcing Kamen to take drastic measures and send the foul contagion to Hades, also known as the recycling bin of no return.

Its D&D

My computer has suffered from a nasty cold as of late and has been down for the last two week. Luckily a good friend of mine has volunteered his services to combat the great evil, but the old beast wont be back up again for at least another week. In the meantime some friends of mine are getting together to play some dungeons and dragons, so i did a painting to celebrate.

Is it looking for us?

The Things in the basement

Temple

I used a few photoshop techniques that i ve never tried before with this one, mainly taking textures from photos of rocks and pasting them onto the statue (Which was supposed to be cow but i thought he needed a mane so now he looks more like a dragon which is fine with me) Actually i think he really really wanted to be a tiki but i was trying to keep them out of this one but they seem to influence everything that i do.

I decided to try simplify one of my drawings to make it more cartoony and also clean it up, do a little of that line quality thing (Wha?) Meanwhile two nemedians walked into a bar... a sand bar with cliff over it that is.

More Mechanical beings

My Next Ride (In a perfect world)

I havent drawn that many robots since before i got into school, so this is a little trip down memory lane for me.

I did this guy last summer but i never got around to taking a picture of him.

I was going to color these so i could join the " look how well i can color characters" club but i just didnt get around to it, lazy bastard that i am.

Mighty angrious jugsmusher emerges from his besieged castle to confront the seemingly victorious goodling army.

Hey look more moas, what a sirprise. I cant help it, at some point im going to have a make a real one of these guys for my backyard.
