Slugs, cats, rhinos and other assorted things! I thought I was in a zoo with all these animals

Moo

I am a cow.  Just updating, slow this week as got yet another real world job on.  Getting there though

 Okay, comments time. (working back through the thread)

 Byron- Excellent work, great sketches.

Sinistral- Good image, nice brushwork, great colours in the armour, coming on lovely.

Charco- Strong pose, excellent lighting. Bit of advice, darken the torso to match the shading on the trousers.You are going to have one powerful image there.

Zim- Love it! The lighting is in just the right place, looking forward to seeing it come on.

Tector- Excellent pic, nice style. Very 'childrens-book illustration'.

Weazle- Great work, really like the background colours.

Gurch- Thanks for you comments and for posting the gallery pics. I went to the Tate last summer and I had a cleaning crew following me around mopping up the dribble!

Robin- Excellent work as always. Great image, great style.

Rey- Saw yours in the finals thread, powerful image, nice style.

xHaStex- Agan, great start, look forward to some more wips.

Ivy- Love the 'hornedy whatzit'!!

Malla- Lovely start, great colours.

Gix- Your work just gets better all the time, look forward to more.

Jackdaw- nice first wip, gonna be a great pic!

This is done, now I can get on with my Graphic Design course work. (it's like being back at school!)

Cheers Mark, will do. In the meantime I've fixed some of the torso problems.Still a long ways away, but thanks for the comment. your graphic design stuff pro work or a course you're on?

Looking good Charco, much better, and that blade looks great!

It's a diploma course, I'm hoping to do a degree next year, I used to work as a graphic designer in the 80s (it was all Rotring pens and cell acetate back then!) but I got the job on the strength of my portfolio, I wish I'd gone the academic route back then! Still, I'd have to be doing digital design courses anyway to catch up with the norm.

First layer of colour...

Mark: Thanks man. Yours looks great! Really like the colours you've put together there! 

Charco: Yours is also coming along really well! Keep up the good work!

I have put in plenty of time today on mine. Still haven't done much on the horns though which is meant to be the point of this picture! Lol. Anyway, plenty more to do. Might get round to doing some sort of background at some point!  

I'm kinda in a hurry to get this one done. Just saw this challenge today and only have tomorrow to finnish what I've started.

Here's my progress so far, I'm off to bed.

After half an hour:

After 2,5 hours:

Seems like there'll be two green eyed horny red heads in this challenge!  

holy horned thingies you guys are kicking butt, I am almost ashamed to post mine.  Well mine got hornedy so here he is

Thanks for the kind comments people...
I'm loving the work here.  Gurch, you have to enter.  Your work pushes us to try harder... Someone else used to do that a lot... I think he's a mod now... hmmm..

Ivy... I saw your creature and a laughed.  I miss your cuddly works of art.
Mark... Great line work... Great image. 
There are many more that are such great pieces, but I don't have time to write much now.

Here's an update on mine.  I still have a lot of cleaning and touching up to do.  I hope I get finished in time.
Crits and feedback are needed and welcomed.
