Posting for a friend who'll hopefully soon get himself a tablet :P

I have aptly named it (with his permission, of course) "from prince to king"

This is a bit too open ended IMO.

But i'll do something anyway.

[Agrajag]

Challenging topic, somehow. Intrigued me at first, left me with no idea whatsoever right after. I did do something, although the creativity behind it is pretty minimal...

edit: Just a note, since I don't know the policy on this board for that kind of thing: The ref image was found on corbis...

[Wundergeek]

I just saw Underworld last night, so when I saw today's topic I immediately thought of vampires. :rolleyes:

Spent a little more time on this one than usual since I'm going to be away from my computer and the internet this weekend. I doodled in open canvas and then touched it up in ps.

the me that you know, he had some second thoughts
he's covered in scabs, he is broken and sore...
the me that you know now doesn't come around much,
that part of me... isn't here anymore.

becoming something so much more

[Wednesday]

i thought about the same thing right away as well when i saw the topic evisr8r :)

[dfacto]

what song is that?

[Wednesday]

something by nine inch nails, not that i ever listen to that stuff though :rolleyes:

[dfacto]

The Spandex Jester!

The idea is that he has a double sidded mask that he can twist around to "become" somebody else. So shoot me, I'm vague.

He is an assasin jester too, just because the knife gave his left arm something to do.

Once again didn't have enough time to color right, but whatever.

I too thought of something religious. This youngman is very devoted and is eager to go to heaven and become a martyr. When i read 'the becoming' i instantly thought of sacrifice, for a higher purpose. i wanted to do the buddha first (becoming enlightened), but stuck with this. unfortunately i don't have time to do the second one.
Damn, i totally screwed up the mouth, and the head's too large too.:mad:
...drawing with a mouse sucks...:(

[Hunger_Artist]

jermainevl- I agree with the mouse, but its is a good way to break some habits.

when I first read "the becoming" I instantly thought of...uh..nevermind.

i don't think i'm having a lot of luck with cell shading either.

perhaps i'll be inspired to do something different later on..

[juicy_fruit]

The background with the light rays is somewhat cheesy, but I have to get some sleep for a change (I ran out of battery..)

used a photo as ref for the pose

[Sapphire]

The first thing I thought of for this was from an R.L. Stine book I read many years ago about a girl who turns into a werecat every night, so that's what I did. I also wanted a change from doing so many weird alien monsters.

PS: My laptop's brightness and contrast settings are off from other computers, and I can't fix the contrast, so this image may look too dark or too contrasted, or maybe not enough. Let me know if it's hard to look at and I'll change it. (also it's a bad dig. photo)

[knightkarr]

that's great Defunct!

[plaf]

some aztecs had developed a process of storing your life energy in metal statues, so future generations could benefit from their wisdom - only revered elders or shamans got to enter this state of eternal life through the Becoming.

@HELZLER. THATS GREAT MAN!!

[Railboy]

Such a cool topic... why does my computer give me trouble today of all days...

I'm posting from a friend's computer - no DSG for me until I get my BIOS in working order.

Just thought I'd bitch & moan a little. :bash: Tomorrow's topic had better be "potted plant" or something!

[shadoman]

Wow!! Painter is the best! Here's my first attempt using Painter, my only drawback here, other than the fact I just don't know it too well, is the fact I NEED A TABLET!!

Everyone's look great!

Helzer, brainl, evisr8r, and Wedensday, yours stood out...

Time to rest.

[MrKayne]

I know I've been slackin' on the DSG, but I've still been lurking around. Just been so busy with work and the thunderdome and all... but I just felt like drawing, so I did.

http://www.kaynecomix.com/dsg/317.jpg

oh, and silentbrain, I've been seeing you around the DSG alot lately - been doing some good work. But, don't think you can use that as your excuse when I kick yer butt in our TD match! :D

[avalos]

the "bee"-coming... yeah, kinda lame.

Sort of Lovecraftian/Eternal Darkness.

I think I caption it, 'Just because Taco cabana is open at 4 in the morning, doesn't mean you should eat there then.'
