An alien created for a homebrew adventure I originally ran for Star Frontiers in 1987. These are short creatures with stone age technology, although they do use bits of a very old crashed spaceship.

“When being chased by a squid, be careful not to look directly at them, as their hypnotic colors can make you easy prey. The towers are an ideal place to run too, as the area is too claustrophobic for big enemies to wander around. In fact, hardly any monsters go near the towers. This probably would’ve made the towers a near perfect safe haven for humans, if it weren’t for the fact that there isn’t any food or water sources nearby.
…However longs trips aren’t an issue for me, so raising a youngster here is an advantage.” -P
I suddenly got the urge to embrace clowncore and made this dude. I love him.
So I have been drawing recently but a schedule change in my life kept me from uploading art and also sucked away the energy to upload anything. But I’m back and here’s a recent character design. I’d love to use her for something.
I got into a creature design kick, maybe I’ll use these guys for a story.

My entry for @catmask 's and @frogcroaks ' contest, Monster Mayhem!
I chose the theme Wisteria Will-O-Wisp for flower symbolism and will-o'-the-wisp folklore. Also because of the color purple ← My favourite color 💜
Thank you for hosting this contest where I can try out monster designing and good luck to the other participants. Peace and love on planet Earth!
Inktober 2018 Day 23
“Muddy”
THIS ONE WAS SO MUCH FUN HOLY SHIT. I love drawing feet and fur, so had a blast with this one. But you better watch out, because this guy does NOT appreciate you pushing him into the mud. In fact, might wanna start running pretty quick.

Another dude I made but using this weird watercolor ink stuff. Unfortunately its not waterproof like my india ink so I had to work around that aspect and work with any of the color bleeds. Still, was pretty fun to do and I enjoy the result. Might do a similar design like this again, but with gold and yellow inks instead. We shall see. Gotta get my hands on some of those colors tho, cause the brown and green seen here are a gift from my bestie.

This is just a beastie that I’ve had a sketch of lying around for a while. Decided to finally get the design done and inked it with my beloved india ink. Surprisingly, these are starting to take a lot less time, probably cause I’m getting more comfortable with the medium, along with being not as stiff with mistakes.
Lots of fun and got more stuff like this in the works.
A thing I’ve been working on for the past day or so, completed 3-18-18. Had this in the lineart sketchbook for a long while now, but decided to just get it done and over with. Took about 10-15 hours to do, which was longer than Indigestion’s time to finish, which was around a few hours. That’s probably ‘cause I took way more time with the lineart on this one than the previous, so I’m gonna try to keep that stage on the down low and simple next time around. I want these things to just go faster so that I can get stuff out faster. This one allowed me to play more with shading, and I like what I did with the background, what with the increasing lightness as you go down. Was great fun to do, and am excited for the next project. The next one is likely to be a piece with more tight lineart and no shading, so look forward to it.

Taking a break from college to reevaluate my goals and decide if I really do want to pursue art, which I’m definitely leaning towards doing. As such I’m using my time to explore more into what I want to do with my art. I find this style to be much more relaxing than that of my tight linework, but I love doing both, so stay tuned for more stuff in the near future.

Last post for today. Yesterday (Oct 28th 2017) spent all day just drawing. Was a really nice break from uni work. Am really liking where this one is going, i just wish my hands weren't as shaky and that i could make thinner lines. I'm already using my smallest inking nib so... Meh I'll make do.
I love how this beauty turned out. First time I was able to do just linework too without wanting to shade some bits. Gah I just love this piece so much, I wanna do another one like it already, even though it was kinda a pain figuring out how all of those veils should go. 10/10 would do again though. Who knows, I might just ink it and color it one day. I'm excited for the future!
Here ya go! With the New Year comes New Sketches and Drawings! Alrighty I decided that for missing out on posting for the past couple of weeks, I would do a larger mass post of my sketchbook works. Sorry for that! First post is an angry guy reaching for you, likely for your hand in order to eat it. Second is what i presume to be the ancestor of HTTYD’s Cloudjumper and third is a coral creature from some random place in my headworld.
Alrighty. Sorry for the delay this week for the monster, but school has just been trying to kill me. But I wouldn't have it any good other way. So this week, it a pretty loose dragon sketch. I think I was just starting learning anatomy from my books so it's all out of funk. Plus he is WAAAYY out of proportion. Yeah didn't really like how he turned out. But hey, all artists have off days!
