DSG 771: Open-ended: THE THING COMES THROUGH THE PORTAL

**William b. Hand** · June 6th, 2005, 03:04 AM

Is it
... a spaceship come through hyperjump?
... a monster come from some netherworld?
... a snackfood come out of machine?

You decide what this "thing" is, and you determine the nature of this "portal".

Don't settle for something half-assed... demand at least six-tenths of an ass from yourself and craft a mighty solution to this latest puzzler come courtesy of your trusty topic technician.

You can do it. I know you can.

Coming from the sewers like nothing more than a simple earthworm, this creature is infact an interdimensional invader, it and it's fellows are about to cause havoc among the earths biosphere.

Woe betide those who seek to summon the power of the elder gods. Probably not the most creative interpretation of todays topic, but I couldn't pass up the chance for tentacles

40 mins in Photoshop CS...I need to do less eating and more painting on my lunch break

Eriboss: cool concept, and some nice color...the horizon seems a little wierd though

Machzero: nice quickies, I once heard someone say "the best way to come up with a good idea is to come up with a lot of them!"

45 mins photoshop

I so should have been working.
They never saw it coming...

**Carnifex** · June 6th, 2005, 02:31 PM

hamsta-would you please please try to spend more time on you work? i mean the descriptions are nice and everything but only spending 30 minutes on each one doesn' get you anywhere. i'm sorry to say that,but after all those dsgs your pictures still have that muddy,can't-tell-what's-going-on look.sorry,but i have to say that.

Today's sketch, in accordance to the theme, more or less.
Legionnaire coming out of the fortified building of sorts, in post-apocalyptic-ish enviro.
5 hours... the perspective is eating my elbows...

mmm.. and now to dine and perhaps turn this into a more serious painting.

...
haha, great stuff, sketchling!
Love that chair-ish warship and the tone.

"Honey......I think we need a new air freshener in the bathroom.'

Just a quick 45 min sketch today since I have a busy monday ahead yet.

DA

A little too literal? This was planned to be a small thumbnail, but then I didn't have time to re-do it, so I just hacked in a little detail (i know the anatomy is off - no ref), and called it a day.

**superyummy** · June 7th, 2005, 03:59 AM

I don't have much experience painting, so i thought I should try:

**CSOLDIER7** · June 7th, 2005, 05:23 AM

Very nice compositions goran, Alexius, and Eriboss.

Here's mine...

About 1 hour and 45 minutes(There is no reason why it should have taken that long...oh well). Pen and photoshop.

later...
