Really great stuff here!
You are very creative in making new creatures.
I enjoyed looking through your sb.

[Mokasi]

hello my goodness spazz this is rather good ( your cow) I like the text on his shell

[Atastrophea]

Argh! I'm rubbish I never remember to update this thing, and I never get round to scanning stuff in as using my scanner is somewhat akin to wrestling with angry beavers. However I will not give up I will keep popping things in here randomly as and when, and who knows one day I may get a new scanner/office set up and update regularly lol.

first a quick study from a small toy:



second another quicky this time from my head (that is out of my head, not of my head ):



see you again sometime

Wow my sketchbook is back - Jason must have magically retrieved it from the stomach of those monsterous trolls I was actually kind of looking forward to starting a new one because I don't really like the work so far but maybe looking at the bad stuff is good motivation to improve! so..... My scanner is working again (hooray for dads who know about technology, lol) here are some quick doodles from a few weeks ago:



And this that I did whilst watching the devil wears prada:



I'm trying to focus on people for a bit as I seem to always end up doing creatures and people are so much harder so I want to get better at them!

~^-^~

[Atastrophea]

And a couple of attempts at digital painting (the other thing I need to focus on and practice loads now!)



Did you spot the monkey?

>>>>>>>



and for the super stylized:



(a bit last minute!)

Two updates in one day, my poor S/B won't know whats hit it!

~^-^~

[Atastrophea]

Just a quick mind dribble for today:



~^-^~

[TheButterBunny]

dude I'm loving your stuff!
I love the quirkiness of it coupled with an actual good basis of drawing skills. The animal stuff especially!!!!!!
just update more frequently, I wanna see more!!!

[Atastrophea]

ButterBunny Thank you

Update:-

"Grub-Maid" because mermaids are boring



Working backwords from the Sprotlings - Seed Pod stage->

Thats it for now, more white russian stuff on its way soon.....

~^-^~

[Atastrophea]

Just a quick verbal update - Hopefully I will be coming/going to the CA Workshop in Europe - Finances permitting so may be less time for updating whilst I try and earn as much £££ as possible in the interim :p

~^-^~

[Atastrophea]

Maytime is friends birthdays time......





Have just applied for a 2 year drawing & painting course in London, one day a week starting in September - Wish me Luck!

Hey there, great pencil work as ever. For a crit: moar color! ^^ I've found that painting fruit can be a great exercise in terms of color and digital painting. Keep up the good work!

[Atastrophea]

Well here it is...some colour! not proper practice studies though, was just messing around with Rats because I'm getting very broody for some rats

Eric The Rat:



Doobies!



I know, the 2nd ones a bit- "Furry" - I'm not into the whole anthro thing, this was just to cheer up a lady who's rats were ill, its her pet rat Merel flashing

~^-^~

[Sorknes]

Grub-mermaid = funny ^^

Really like your COW pieces there though, they're awsome. Especially the first of them. Yeti in a crate was an extremely fun one as well.

There's some really good humour sense showing in your work, please keep that. lol!

[Atastrophea]

Thanks for stopping by Sork

I think I have an affinity with the absurd & ridiculous, I'm not very good at taking life seriously :-o I'd rather my pics made people laugh than cry so its all good

~^-^~

[Mokasi]

great stuff here mazz your pencil work is brilliant. would like to see you dab your hand at some environments

[Atastrophea]

Thank you Mokasi ~^-^~
One day I'll get to environments. maybe. When they don't make me feel utterly overwhelmed.....

Miss you! Sc00p sc00p ~(0) ~(0)

~^-^~

I have not updated for AGES sorry! will get back on the wagon in the new year when work calms down
