Weekly Challenge: The Hobbit

Time to start drawing some tricky hobbitses and smelly dwarves for the final installment of The Hobbit out December 17th. Let's go on an adventure.

Good morning!

Fifth Element: Work In progress + Sketches.

Hey there! Just a little late sunday night post from Shawny!

Since this week's challenge was The Fifth Element, I was inspired to do a big illustration for it. 

So instead of having a finished piece, here is some of the sketches I've done. I'll eventually do a line drawing and then finish the rest in Illustrator. I've also included some sketches of other fifth element work that I'm currently working on as well!

This is my usual process when working on projects. Bunch of random sketches, then the rough, rough draft, where I make dumb notes! This usually works for me! 

Leeloo will be the next lady in my sweethearts project!

And finally I really love the Flight Stewardess' outfits in the movie, so here's a couple of sketches of them too!

The Slacker Zombie of all time!

When it came to zombies, "Shaun of the Dead" was the first thing that popped into my head. Mainly because it gave me an excuse to make some movie posters!

This movie has been out awhile, so I hope this isn't going to be a spoiler! :D

I decided to illustrate the lovable Zombie Ed!

I also created one with a background. Don't know how much I like this one.

Here's the original sketch. 

I can't wait for my first ever art event with the group! Don't forget to check out Oddmall this weekend! It's going to be great!

White Zombie

The original movie zombie was not a gory, terrifying, undead monster. It was a woman under the power of Bela Lugosi's voodoo spell. I wanted to make a disgusting monster, but this came out instead. I must have used all my gore chips on something else. I rather prefer this anyway.

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!

Best Part of the Movie!

Before I saw Guardians of the Galaxy wednesday, I was going to draw a full team action illustration, but then I saw the movie and fell in love with:

The whole movie was great and all, but you can't beat a baby tree dancing to Jackson 5. Nope. No way. 

Be prepared for some more GOTG fan art coming soon! 

Shawny's back in action with the Rocketeer! (WIP)

Hello! It's Shawny. I know, I have been missing on the blog for a couple of weeks thanks to my summer job and computer woes. But I'm back and I come with goodies!

For this weeks challenge I did a sketchbook illustration that will eventually go into Illustrator. I wanted to show the rough sketch before cleaning it up and turning it into vector. Since I'm trying to draw more dudes, drawing the Rocketeer was perfect. But of course I had to add a pretty lady!

Close up!

This weekend I'll probably finish it completely and share it with next week's challenge!

Also, just to play catch up, I'll  be posting some of the other challenges I missed, right after the most recent weekly challenge till I'm all caught up!

Little Rocketeer

Cliff is a cutie...so I thought I'd draw him all teeny-tiny and huggably cute! Enjoy.
