Congratulations DSGBot, you've won the most vague topic of the day award! Are you going to go to Disney land now? No? What's that? Too specific ... Ok, how about just A Land. Too specific? How about: Somewhere. Still to specific? Ok fine, how about just, "There."

[HexKrak]

LOL, Valcon, too true.

[inkwerkz]

Hah, didn't we have the "end" bout a week or so ago......time to draw the opposite of what we did last time.

No, it's not eating meat, it just won a deadly battle against a contestant. Real gorillas probably don't get that far, though... :P

Carnifex - thanks. I find its ok to distort depth and stuff when you are working with concept.

because my omega was a bird i did a youngster alpha bird.
illustrator 10 30 mins and 1 photoshop filter wich accidently gave me a nice line.

scribbly scribbly, like it, plaf an hunger
and wednesday i can see the omega sign on the moms shirt :o

i did 3 dsgs today :) kinda fun. but this last one is really a fast and non-worked out one.

[John]

Yeah, about time i did a dsg again. Hunger, that is cool. I think it's cool to see your stuff getting cleaner and more defined while keeping your nifty style.

He's the only agent who's allowed to smoke. Yes, he is that good(yawn).

[dfacto]

I actually drew this for Thunderdome today, but it fits perfectly with my vision for this topc so here it is.

fairly quick photoshop shade job:

and what happened with a back background, white outline, and a missing layer:

[shadoman]

Well. Here is what I came up with.

About 30 minutes with black Bic round stic (ballpoint pen that is).

Enjoy,

Hunger_Artist - Weird, but good.

[Wednesday]

mm, i really enjoy seeing process pics hunger, do them more often :) .I like reoccuring themes too, they have this nice story telling element to them.

anyway.. here's another silly picture i did, instead of studying for next weeks exams :rolleyes:

[HexKrak]

Plaf: :D , what more can I say?
Hunger: I always love to see concepts come together.
Sereph: Love the first one, the second one isn't my style, but its definaly well thought out.
Al Ian: I really like the colour pallett you chose here.
Wednesday: OMFG, I saw the first one and said to myself, Wow, then I saw the second one, and I even further blown away. Superb!
nBT: Way to keep it simple on such an awkward, vague dsg subject. :)
dfacto: The bottom image is an interesting alteration, but I'd be more into seeing how the top image cleaned up and turned out, good stuff.
Shadowman: I'd like to see something like that painted up. Looks like it'd be good.

Great job everyone, really execlent art!

[Seraph]

Here's mine with another 1.5 hours into it, and I think I just might continue into this thing a bit further...

CALLED "ALPHA" BECAUSE THEY WERE THE FIRST SPECIES TO ARRIVE.

ok if my post is to big then say so
if you delete my post give a reason
thats just rude
i am going to repost a smaller drawing
http://images2.deviantart.com/i/2004/04/8/c/alphasmall.jpg

[Wednesday]

hey lance, i have a hunch your post got deleted because it's off topic slightly not because of its size. it had the word "character" in there and I dont think they mean that in the sense of letter characters. giving a reason for a post removal would have been nice too, i guess. nice tag though, makes me want some paint walls :)

good to see you back hand, you've been away for way too long

[lance]

opps
even though a letter is a character
i wanted to be diff
i mean everyone does characters
hence or so i thought "concept art"

[DV8]

real quick- between being sick (bad cold) and busy with work, this is all my spare time will allow :)

Good work all
