Draw Something, Dammit

[YellerDog]

Some quick warmup drawings from work.

Cool stuff everybody! Drew, that slimy dude looks like a lot of fun to animate!

Protip: actually redraw the arms, don't just puppet that shit like a chump!

You mean for each phase of the animation? I might add some tendrils and animate them wiggling with static end points for effect. The concept of the animation is that he inherits colour from any object he touches. He'll be touching various things to shirt colour like a chameleon. The end is when he touches a rainbow sprinkles donut and goes crazy from the information overload (closeup with rainbow speed lines quizzing by in the bg) I might make his features more grotesque with the zoom in, too, like they do on Spongebob sometimes.

IT'S BUSINESS. IT'S BUSINESS CARD TIME.

I know what you're trying to say, you're trying to say it's time for business cards!

That's kinda weird, but I like it. What's it about?

Here's a slightly ghoulish self portrait, oil on paper.

I like the design Jef, reminds me of a gecko or something like that. Very nice!

Fury I get a very strong Dracula vibe from that portrait, totally dig it.

Neat stuff Jef and Fury!

Jef, is that all ink and pencil?

Fury, it looks like Joel McHale right before he kills me! I LIKE IT!

Thanks! It's not really about anything. Just wanted to make something inspired by the year of the dragon that wasn't exactly like every other dragon out there, and that's what came out. I could tell it would look like a lizard or something. But isn't that what dragons are, big lizards? If I was to do this again, I would make the tail longer.
It's all pencil. Used 2mm H, H2, H4, and F. Scanned it and added the vignette with Lightroom 3.

It's so awesome to drop in on this thread every once in a while and see what everyone has been making! Great work all around!

More self-portraits (NSFW). Apparently a healthy dose of narcissism is required for state schools. This was an assignment, so there's some personal context artsy fartsy blah Once I got the figure colors worked out, most the other stuff was just sorta whipped in and could really use a more critical approach, but it's not really worth it.
