Robin - yeah Cloverfield is amazing i went crazy for that movie, there's very little wrong with it in my eyes, (except for why a 500 foot tall monster would stoop down and snap up a guy that only half the size of his tooth and bite him in half..that moment was the only flaw in my eyes.. still rate it as a top top movie.)
Robin, i like the way your drawing is coming along, you have a unique nightmarish vision and as usual this falls in the strange and brilliant category, look at that monster design, look how dark and scary those eye sockets are, its great! Just to top it all is that power drill she's carrying?
gurch: wow, thanks for sharing that with us. just read through it and i must agree. there is no comparing when it comes to the real thing. wish i could paint like that.
watched cloverfiled at 3:30am and i couldnt stop. it really was very good. i hope they make a sequal because i want to see more people exploding from the bites. would have also liked them to show more of the creatures. the atmosphere was perfect for it which was my favourite thing about it.
ok back to art business.... btw that is not a powerdrill she's carrying. hadn't thought of doing that. she is carrying the missing horn of the creature. she used it like a trumpet to call it. will continue with it later after i scribble around with something else for a bit.
Raoul Duke: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Yep , i suppos ea part of a horn makes more obvious sense than a power drill, but theres never no telling with your warped mind!! LOL just been in the Demons Within section, I like what you've done there "Sleep... those little slices of death, oh how i loathe them!"
thanks, but i dont think im so far gone that i'll start giving little girls power drills. am actually scribbling around with the inner demons image at the moment.

Snailmail slowly succeeds. To add to the horny element, the postman bears something of a resemblance to mid-20th century comedian Kenneth Horne. Glad to see you soaking up a bit of high culture, Gurch; the last exhibition I went to was about Wallace & Gromit!
Thanks for that Gurch. I am always amazed when I visit galleries with such huge, wonderful paintings. Very inspiring and daunting! I am surprised you weren't busted for touching the Monet! Lol. I can imagine several art enthusiasts shouting at their monitors right now!
Everyone is coming along well here. Should be a good final competition!
Digging the title. Doing my best ot avoid the inyourendo.
This is Ferdiad, as in the Cycle of Ulster in Irish Mythology. Bosom buddy of the great Cúchulainn (read- DogBoy :p ) until the two of them square off in an epic three day battle of the titans. Featuring The original Bankai, the Gae Bolg. If you don't know the story, you should look it up. Really interesting. Anyway, Ferdiad's greatest asset was his 'Skin of Horn', so I'm trying to marry human with a bit of triceratops and whatever else the Land Before Time has put in my brain.

i know the left hand is meant to be closer as as such should look larger, however something about it looks strange, however i cant work out what.... also the pecs looks strange placed against the abs, like they're at different angles, should be quite easy to fix tho =) and personally id make the chest larger, he looks like the broad chested type
quite hard to see other crits due to WIPness
good luck =)
im yet to come up with an idea, but ill give it some more though, however dont want to risk leaving it to long....

Cheers dude. Yeah, the near hand wasn't hinged properly on the arm, so I got rid of it. While they weren't right, the pecs would be at different angles with the different positions of the arms. thanks for the crit

Update on this, printed the linework out and worked on it in pencil and biro, scanned it in as a layer, set it to multiply and erased what I didn't want. Will work colour in underneath the layer...........
Charco: yours is coming along nicely there. I like the pose and the palette you are using is good too.
Sinistral: Looks like you are putting a lot of work into that armour! The shine is getting better! I know you aren't at the stage for small details but metal, especially armour looks great with some scratches and dents, makes it look used.
Mark: Really like your design. Quite liking how it looks without all the Green though, quite contrasting with the colour and the "pencil".
