Sunday Catch-up: Kaiju

Few weeks ago, we had a kaiju challenge that I was really excited for. I'd been playing around with Godzilla ideas for awhile and thought the challenge was perfect. Too bad I took on more than I could and didn't finish on time. But you are in luck! I finished the illustration and it came out better than the original idea.

Here's the version without the gradient on the buildings.

Taking the extra time to flesh this out really made a difference. I'm trying to find a style of my own and this is one piece that really shows how far I'm coming along in terms of digital art. I'm nowhere near where I'd like to be, but I'm getting there, so I'm pretty satisfied with that!

Fan Friday!

Hey everyone! Every week we invite our fans and friends to participate in the drawing challenges we do. I have been neglectful the last couple weeks, so I'm doing some catch up here. If you want to submit your art, send it to scribblenerdsart@gmail.com with any information you care to add. If you have sent art and it hasn't popped up yet, let us know on our Facebook page, so we can iron out any issues.

Here are 2 from Danny Limor! He did the Batman and Guardians of the Galaxy challenges with a funny Batman playing the drums and a great, disgruntled Groot!

And Tim Switalski did the Kaiju challenge with the nightmare inducing cute Godzilla!

Keep 'em coming guys! These are great!

Gaziwwa and a little dose of nightmare fuel

Making monsters cute is so much fun. While I was working on a cute Godzilla (or as I have renamed him, Gaziwwa,) my boyfriend who is also an artist told me I needed to be truer to the original Godzilla design. I told him I didn't know what to do about it. Making it any more "authentic" swung it waaaaaay into the creepy end of the spectrum. He wanted to give it a try, so I handed over my sketchbook. 

Five minutes of a weirdo indie movie on Netflix later, I receive the drawing below, and a dejected sounding "Sorry. You can erase it." I certainly will not! This is the creepiest version of a cute monster I have ever laid eyes on. He is a self-declared novice of cute art, but that's ok because this may be the terrifying cute monster I've ever seen.
