Merry Christmas.

A blue robot.

Digital painting

My girlfriend has asked me to paint a sloth for her as a christmas present. This is a challenge for me given the limited time I have aswell as the huge workload with uni.

I have decided to work with pencil drawings ive produced three of them a portrait of the entire animal and two head shots, the two headshots ive painted digitally but im not sure if she'l appreciate these prints alongside an original drawing.

Ideas

Im going to focus more on the actual sketch book work for this, moved off the nomad concept for the moment but thats the beauty of it, its an idea ive been working on for roughly three years now, each time i revisit the idea i feel i improve it a little more.

id like to think that the idea for the 'dunner' alien race i created will get a retouch at some point next year, for the moment im focusing on this idea that i thought about a couple of years ago. redesigning orcs, trolls and goblins as i desire. i never got round to putting pen to paper with this idea before so its pretty much a virgin concept.

ORCS

Trying to redesign some stereotypical fantasy creatures, focusing on Orcs atm.

Forest Sprite

I watched Princess Mononoke, the animation, designs and story line were brilliant. its a great film, not just for anime or animation but in general.

Nomad Beast

A big loveable beast used as a mount in places like the river Ment where its natural agility in water is put to good use.

The River Ment.

this is supposed to be three fishing huts along the bank of a peaceful river, my girlfriend says it looks like three cockroaches sticking their arses out of the ground. Is my new abstract approach to envrioments too abstract?
