Melancholy

Just trying to illustrate a feeling. She looks covered in oil, but she's supposed to be melting. Not sure how to fix that :(
And that's digital, btw.

Valenth Feeding Thread Banner

Experimenting with Paint Tool Sai for the first time. Need more practice, but it's just a quick doodle anyway. Link banner for my Feeding Thread on Valenth, featuring a hungry baby cockatrice:

Squiby Creature Design - the Mysie

For lack of anything else, another recent Squiby creature I drew:

And yes, I should be practicing illustration or comic stuff if I want to get better at it, I know... *sigh*

Illustration Friday - refresh

Just a simple one for Illustration Friday, because I couldn't do what I really wanted to do (I seem to have lost my watercolours)...

Squiby Creature Design - the Froppy

I feel like doing something for Illustration Friday again, but I don't know if I will have the time or inspiration to do it this week.

So in the meantime, just to show that I'm still here, have this creature I invented for the adoptable site Squiby - the Froppy:

Illustration Friday - jump

When I read this week's Illustration Friday topic, I decided to finish up this old sketch I had lying around forever. It's a scene from the Doctor Who novel/audiobook "The Stone Rose", which has the Doctor escaping via polevault out of the Colosseum arena using a trident... yeah. Not that realistic, but then I suppose Doctor Who doesn't have to be. It's an alien in a time travelling police box.

He was supposed to be grinning manically, but considering that he's always grinning it was surprisingly impossible to find a reference of that grin in profile, so for the sake of resemblance (and today's deadline) I had to settle for a smile...

Yes, the Doctor did dress for the time in this book, although he never does in the new TV series (and rarely in the old one). The pinstriped underpants were just for my own amusement *g*

Creature of the Week 212: Fabergédragon

This was an old "Creature of the Week" topic on ConceptArt.org - a dragon based on a Fabergé egg. I can't find the photo that I based it on back when I started it, and it has been lying around unfinished forever. I never actually participated in that challenge, btw., I'm obviously not really a concept artist, but I liked the idea. My Fabergédragon is probably the spoiled pet of some millionaire's wife - imagine a pug dog with a diamond collar, except that this one can breathe fire if it doesn't get what it wants.
