Scattered Dream

Color version coming soon. And by soon I mean tomorrow.

Scattered.

A simple piece for this theme. I kinda took it half-literally.

Scattered Dream--Baku

Baku attack!  I wanted to draw baku when Todd told me the topic this week.  Baku are from Japanese mythology; they're made up of parts of different animals (ox tails, elephant trunks, tiger feet) and are said to eat dreams and grant good luck.  I couldn't resist adding on spots, stripes, horns, and a healthy dose of cuteness.  So they're almost-baku, who eat almost-dreams (from when you're only half-asleep) and who are almost lucky.

Theme 7

Wow, what a no show. Either no one liked the theme or we've lost members, haha.  Well, here's theme 7 anyway:

"A Scattered Dream"

Good luck

Uninvited Guests--Spike

. . . if I have to explain how this relates to the theme, I have totally failed. Quick sketch/study, also known as "Spike forgot about the deadline AGAIN." My favorite part of this is definitely the face of the little bear on the right. I think I'm starting to get the hang of what I can and can't manage quickly for these sketches, so it's going to be a matter of refining the technique for the next one. I wish I had started earlier! Hope you guys enjoy it a little, though. =)

Look at Me - Admiral Percival Scope

For this week I didn't get to finished this.  In fact, it's still in the rough sketch / yet-to-be-finalized-idea stage.  I'd like to complete it in the near future though, so once I do keep your eyes peeled around either here or on my blog.

Above are sketches of a character I'm working on, named "Admiral Percival Scope", or Perry Scope for short (and just when Todd thought I wouldn't sneak a pun in there somewhere).  Actually that's a double pun, because the esteemed admiral is quite short.  He's got quite the Napoleonic complex, and to cover for his lack of height he wears a gigantic periscope helmet.   In his words, it's to see his enemies before they see him; though most know that it's his vicarious attempt to tower over his subordinates.  As for the poor fellow at attention next to him, we'll tentatively call him "Ensign Resign" (as in giving in, subservient).  "Full speed ahead to the drawing board, men!"

Theme 6

The 6th theme in our on going series:

"Uninvited Guests"

Now you gotta ask yourself one question, "do I feel lucky?" Then draw punK!
