It's reminds me of my sisters old horse, that animal was crazy! :eek: Battled around in painter, and tried some different brushes. I still think it looks a bit flat, and the colors are a bit boring. Anyway...

vijil : Thats one big animal, but where are the seats

davi : It rocks as usual. Though the colors seem very light, they work very well.

Bretton : cool idear, allthough I wouldn't have the heart to kill it with the mask off.

krAtul : Thats neat! It somehow reminds me of the game morrowind... though I don't know why.

Wow, some solid work already! This will probably turn into a hot thread.

Scumworks -- Cool demonic-looking beast. Be nice to see the 'mounting portion'. Nonetheless great job. Nice bulky forms too.

krAtul -- Excellent sketch work. Some really creative ideas. I like the beast whose hind quarters levitate.

Davi -- What an unusual creature. It definitely has that 'beast of burden' look to it. Great work.

Hi folks!

Here we go, er, fly again. I know not that alien, but hey, I thought it was a cool idea. Had no ref for the eagle, so please tell me whether it's crooked or ok.

There are already some very cool entries here. Especially love yours Kratul, and davi's beast. Can't wait to see a more detailed sktech of that one...
An Breton, take the lower head. It's got ,"Hey I don't what I'm doing look." Fitting for a war beast, I gather.

regards, Dave

**eobet** · December 6th, 2003, 01:39 PM

krAtul: awesome design!

i didn't pay much attention to design, unfortunately...

needed to practise animals, and obviously, still do...

all attempts to add scales failed miserably...

light & shadow still borked, but i'm learning...

under 90 min...

**Xpressions** · December 6th, 2003, 01:45 PM

Oh, and BTW I know the eagle legs look like grilled chiecken's. So no need to point that out to me

@eobet: I like that one...but where does the rein go to???

Regards, Dave :evilbat:

**Jebus** · December 6th, 2003, 01:52 PM

Here's a quick sketch of mine

**Sapphire** · December 6th, 2003, 02:11 PM

Oooh... NOW we're talking! *runs off to work on a picture*

There are already some beautiful concepts here... things I'd love to see finished and put on that creature thread they have going.

**DraigAthar** · December 6th, 2003, 02:13 PM

Here's my attempt.

**Carnifex** · December 6th, 2003, 03:07 PM

believe me or not,the hardest part to design was the bg.i wanted to add some kind,but i felt that would distract from the creature.photoshop,don't know how long it took,but i assume about 30 minutes again...it didn't feel very long at least.

ah,how i love wacom!

edit:btw i didn't intend to make the head look that human.

**mtomczek** · December 6th, 2003, 03:36 PM

Theres nothing wrong with your rider hanging from the belly, he is still riding it no? In fact I think it would be quite cool to do something like that. You will feel the wrath of the red text if the post is completely off topic tough :evilbat:

**yoba** · December 6th, 2003, 03:40 PM

this is my first post... hope u'll like it

PS: i apologize, if u though that i dont write good, but my english is a so bad englishschool

**plaf** · December 6th, 2003, 03:59 PM

trouble with riding ferocious mounts is that they can occasionally turn on you =)

all the best.

slitstrider.it must be like a slitstrider...i've got no other explanation.atleast they remind meof one a bit.

**Grimlohk** · December 6th, 2003, 04:28 PM

eobet: great concept, nice and clean too. Good to see you post again

. seems alot of us old-style (topics in mIRC) DSGers stopped posting as often with the change in DSG style.
I really liked how everyone would be talking in IRC as we simultaneously worked on our DSGs. Even if conversation was minimal because we were all painting. Ah well good to see you.

danielh68 · December 6th, 2003, 05:08 PM

I had done a similar painting like this months ago. Unfortunately I lost it due to a faulty hard drive. Anyhow, I found the original sketch, scanned it and repainted it for this thread.

Just noticed, in my haste, I forgot to paint in his tongue. So if you're wondering what that black line is...it's the line art to his tongue.

**Halis_Aetrous** · December 6th, 2003, 05:17 PM

danielh68 - Good perspective and colors.

Noodle - It's unique. I'd like to see it more defined / developed.

plaf - Way to keep those hard edges. Very well defined and a nice concept.

yoba - Your piccy made me laugh. Good stuff.

Carnifex - I like your use of color.

DraigAthar - Reminds me of a llama. Cool concept.

Jebus - Interesting. I like the monster's facial expression. He/she looks very annoyed.

eobet - Cool :chug:

Scumworks - Very creepy. I dont like that look he's givin me.

krAtul - Cool idea. I like both the rider's and creature's design.

Bretton - Nice style. Very original.

Davi - Great work as usual. I like how you simply took away the head and stuck the mouth on the torso. Very alien indeed.

vigil - Hehehe. Cute.

My first dsg-pic:

A flying Alien thing with spiked club hands

**Crave My Nightmares** · December 6th, 2003, 05:20 PM

Bad bad bad me. I drew it on notebook paper. :bash:
I was studying and just decided to doodle stuff out and ran with it. So... it ended up being sketches with freakin periwinkle lines through it. Wee! I did not want to draw a "saddle" on him cause I wanted to show the protrusions from his spine. Large and heavy tail for balance and hitting things. And he hops long distances... AND... can swim. Multi-purpose/multi-Terrain
