Whoah! What did you talk about? I want in on this.... I think I'm honored... ?

**Smeagol71** · January 4th, 2003, 07:44 AM

LOL...no need to worry Feeb, the conversation was all good! We were just talking about and admiring your work and your inking style. Inspirational to say the least, you have much to be proud of! Thanks for sharing your work with us! :chug:

**MindCandyMan** · January 4th, 2003, 10:00 AM

feeb rules!!! Yeah I just got a set of rapidiograph pens for Christmas and I love using them except I am not so good at it...your precision pen work really inspired me and my bro...as well as the rest of the stuff you have done...it's all awesome.

Live long and prosper...

**MindCandyMan** · January 6th, 2003, 12:06 PM

hey cucaracha is there a story behind this one? I'm curious as to what inspired you to do this.

**cucaracha** · January 6th, 2003, 03:29 PM

there was a female artist called "Naomi" (or so) who drew such bright colorful images; i liked them and tried myself.
and i thought an airship would be cool

(just like a mix out of "treasure planet" and old "final fantasy" games)

**MindCandyMan** · January 6th, 2003, 03:33 PM

cool man...I loved the old final fantasy games...they are awesome...good work man.

cant belive im posting, i might edit my post

aaaaaargh, here we go

*hides*

great creature sketches you all !!

**Fozzybar** · January 6th, 2003, 09:01 PM

hurricane, what's the matter? This image is great...*pulls-hurricane-off his-hideout-and-slaps-him-in-the-face*

smeagol71, i have to think of landmate's brainfart as i saw this big brainy creature...oh man...i don't want to finish my thoughts...:bash:

I don't want to say "hey, your creatures are cool!", so i am writing it: "hey, your creatures are cool!"...the monkey looks as he doesn't like that you drew it in 15 minutes..."c'mon...gimme some more effort, you suck...i'll blow you away..."....things that happen, when you're drawing laser-guns instead of bananas in small monkey hands...

...time to sleep...i'm babbling...

edit: hmmm...at a second glance...ok, maybe it isn't a monkey...who cares...sleeping time...

Hooray! Prom, the master of PS painting has come to the creature thread! Man, I love that stuff, can't get enough of it!!!

Question...how much reference do you use for the physically real, more "familiar" animals you do? It seems you draw from a variety of different animals for each. Is this from memory or drawn from several pics you have in front of you or in mind?

Love the Metroid monster, really cool. That last one looks like Jigglypuff on crack! LOL!

**dingobloo** · January 7th, 2003, 07:26 AM

shiet prom that last one is freaky... almost makes me wanna get up and actually paint a creature.... almost

**davi** · January 8th, 2003, 12:50 AM

**Prometheus|ANJ** · January 8th, 2003, 08:08 AM

Smeagol & others > Thanks! They are thumbnail size pencil studies from an animal book. I warped and combined tho.

Nice job too! You're definitely one individual that I would put complete and total trust if wanting someone to color my work. One of these days I'll get my act together and do a "coloring blitz" with my stuff. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Brad

**Smeagol71** · January 10th, 2003, 05:58 AM

Thanks for the encouragement guys! But...

I am not worthy! I am not worthy!

Sheesh Targete, that stuff is awesome, and your site has some incredible work on it too. Great job!! From this post in paticular I especially like the 2nd sketch of the Marauder. Are those pen sketches colored with marker and gouache?

Thanks for posting! These are great!!!!

Oh and texturez, you and me both! Not to give excuses, but I'm saving up for a tablet and most likely will go on a coloring blitz when I get it. Maybe I'll try and do a few with the mouse. We'll see...

Charon · January 10th, 2003, 06:45 AM

Oh my...you guys are so awe inspiring!! Here is my little contribution

**MindCandyMan** · January 10th, 2003, 01:40 PM

The knight lunging forward with the sword is awesome dominus...there is a really great sense of motion and it is rendered quite nicely. The helmet looks a lot like the blizzard warcraft 3 helmets. Awesome work man do some more and post em!

**Dominus** · January 10th, 2003, 01:55 PM

thanx, actually, the 'warrior' drawing was inspired from a warcraft 3 trailer.
I do not have a scanner at home, so it is very hard to post here when I wish.. :o
