[dsg bot]

Today's topic is: Cheature: A add a unique feature to a common animal(IE: Hamster with wings)

[Phuzion]

Okay, quick 20 minutes before bed... Ahhhhh... time to dream :D

[CENOBITE]

heh, niiiiiiice!


someones done alot of figure studies.....:chug:

[Commander Obvious]

heh, nice commentary on the persistence of "devil girl" threads on every online forum imaginable...

here's mine: A nasty little problem turned up at the pet store....

[Hunger_Artist]

wow.. these first two are nice!

keep them coming.

[Crave My Nightmares]

Okay I have to ask you two, Did either if you use reference? Both pictures are VERY well done.

Commander Obvious- He almost looks pouting. The eyes make the piece. I would like to see more texture in it though like maybe he would be sitting on cedar chips in a little glass aquarium? Run with it... its great!

Phuzion- Great figure work, Its difficult to capture the angle and twist that you have, especially with her right foot even a little lifted as she twists. Little things like that make a huge difference. You've really paid good attention to detail. Now I am going to go look at more of your work. :D

Off to get ready for the day, hope to be able to participate later today!!

Part sea-life, part man. Man being the common animal. Oh and part robot.

Damn I wish I would have done my homework instead of this painting. Wait maybe not :)

Oh and its not done yet. Will add more detail to his tummy and flippers. I guess I was thinking about the Batman movie that had Danny DeVito in it, the name of which escapes me at the moment.

Phuzion - Sweet. Hope we'll see you around these parts regularly...
Commander - Very nice! Aw, so cute! He's soft and cuddly and...OW! My hand! MY HAND!
Hagac - Superb!
Guns1inger - Hehe!

[ApricotSoup]

Ok partially cheating, did this a couple of days ago and thought it was more than slightly relevant here :rolleyes: , will do a proper one in the next hour or so. Nice work so far

http://images2.deviantart.com/i/2004/08/b/c/Cyber_Chicken.jpg

[Hagac]

Apricotsoup, your picture makes me hungry for those little nightlight bulbs.

I could eat handfulls of them.

[toinjoints]

I wanted to make one w/ horns, but my girlfriend asked me to put wings, so i put buterlfly wings :D

Great work everyone!
Matt, You´re the best (wen is your webpage online?)
Phuzion, very nice
Hagac, really nice colors

[ApricotSoup]

Well after the chicken here's the entry actually made today :rolleyes:

Tis supposed toi be a meercat but I guess I can't replicate things :bash:

http://images2.deviantart.com/i/2004/09/b/e/Meercat.jpg

[The Assmonkey]

http://www.nancyporco.com/cs/AmAv2.gif

well I think I milked this image enough

[Amerasu]

Wonky legs I know. and I even used a ref. Fat lot of good it did me but it's too ugly to fix so I might give this theme another shot after work...

http://amerasu.randomleft.com/ca/feb24_04_roosterfly.jpg

Phuzion - Very nicely drawn excuse for a naked chick ;)
Commander Obvious - I love it! Looks just like my little hamster.. sort of ;)
Hagac - I like your lighting, it's very atmospheric.
guns1inger - That's creepy!
Matt Dixon - One of my cats is actually that evil. Great painting as always.
ApricotSoup - Like your rooster but def like the little meercat more. He's cute.
toinjoints - Nicely done!
WoodenWorkhorse - Like your cat creature colours.
The Assmonkey - lol

Hope I didn't miss anyone

[Swan]

Here's mine. Not exactly the most original interpretation in the universe but it was the first thing that came to mind, so I went with it.

http://www.jenniferwilliamson.com/dailysketch/tiger.jpg

Amerasu - it may be ugly but I like it. I suspect giving the dragonfly wings (mosquito wings) a more formal home as the rooster's wings would have been a little less unnerving.
Hagac - that just ain't right...and I mean that with love.
And Phuzion - Nicely done and hurrah for breasts that don't look fake!!! (pet peeve of mine)

Nice job everyone!

[Beatnik]

Phusion that is some sweet linework. Really nice understanding of anatomy!

Commander obvious - love the eyes man. Cool idea.

Hagac that is a great start, looking forward to seeing him finished.

Gunslinger he's got a cool ant head. Nice idea

Matt Dixon I don't know how you do it dude, that's simply amazing. I love your style and always look forward to what you come up with.

Apricot nice colors on that chicken

toinjoints thats a cool bear. I bet he's look good with horns too

woodenworkhorse nice movement and nice flow of the lines

assmonkey thats a great monkey - not sure how it fits the topic but it's a cool illustration

Amerasu great idea :) It's a dragon-rooster-fly? Cool head and feet


Great work everyone. Hope to see one from hunger artist and davi today too. Also where has hand been? This topic seems right up his alley.


Here's mine for today. Beware the rare and elusive RattleChimp!

http://www.zmans.com/misc/dsg_363.jpg

Used a ref for the chimp and the snake. I think i definately need to start using more refs in my practicing.

Keep it up everybody!

[tumbra]

Hey guys (and girls) just got a new computer since my last one crashed so I should be back on soon.

[Pichuerca]

Good drawings, I like it the maxx dixon's drawing the most, but the others too, very originals.

Well, This aternoon i saw a strange animal, see it:

http://personales.ya.com/sanand/perropoyo.jpg

Could be only a dream...

...

[bernstein]

it's a snail with a radar on it. some kind of anti terror unit or whatever :>

i don't know much about colors yet.. although they're not perfect and horribly cheesy i'm happy with the product.

http://www.planetquake.com/acid/snail.jpg

nice work everyone.. i especially like matt's and commander obvious' ideas.
edit: oh lol, i forgot to color the feelers/eyes and the snail casts no shadow X_X

Looks cool Hagac, Great lighting Matt Dixon.

Same with Beatniks, its good the way you've lit the end of the tail with some back lighting on the right hand side.

Anyway bye.

[Johannes]

Hi guys
This is "Brown Jenkins" from The H.P. Lovecraft story "The dreams in the witch-house"

After seeing sic8sic's "Cow Plower Giraffes" it had to be:

Guess it is hard to see what I had planned.
Oh well ...

[DocBoom]

great stuff in here! :chug:
here's mine:
http://www.85hertz.de/bilder/bunny.jpg

[Phuzion]

Commander Obvious: I love that idea. Rock on man!

Hagac and Matt Dixon: You guys both got some killer lighting going on. Props.

The Assmonkey: I love it! I'm a sucker for good cartooning.

Beatnik: Great use of colors, I don't think I could ever make a combo like that look good, but you did with finesse.

Iotrez: you have some nice energy going on in that sketch... I'd like to see it a little more worked, but not too much. Nice stuff.

Hey thanks everyone. Glad you liked her... To answer Crave my Nightmare's question, no I didn't use reference. But yes, I've done a fair amount of life drawing. I'm really just a nut for little details and unconcious habits, they're what I find attractive about people... so yeah. It's all out of my dome. I try and keep that way with my conceptual work, and I leave the model drawing/painting for studying/class. Peace all

[young paddy1]

Too lazy to give my horny little hush puppy a background, I was thinking about a 1950's kitchen but screw it.
Ref used for the dog, horns from the depths of my dirty little mind.

P.S. anybody know how to do good fine fur his skin looks a bit flat.

is it a chicken-flamingo or a flamingo-chicken? HMMM, you decide!:Dhttp://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/10594/chickenflamingos.jpg

[Fipse]

Just a fast sketch today - I´m glad I could draw at all.

http://www.kriegsherren-von-og.de/dsg/anbeterin.jpg

Nice work everybody. My personal favourites this time are Matt Dixon (I wish I could do some dynamic lighting like this) and Phuzions girl (not directly animal but i love how natural your women look ;))

Fipse

[Sapphire]

This is an older sketch that I touched up, but I'll submit a completely new one for sure... I have so many ideas floating in my head that right now I can't get a hold of just one of them. I love anthropomorphs, so I'll definitely have something. Maybe multiple somethings.

http://img11.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Sapphire8400/polarbearsm.jpg

This one is a polar bear that has opposable thumbs and a few other little humanoid features.

[Jeters]

they said "hamster with wings" and all I could think of was the mouse from "Spirited Away..."

It's the ASS-Monkey....he has an ass on his head...he's my own little superhero....

[Crave My Nightmares]

Yes it is the lovable Hermit Crab - Bunny.

Few Comments:

Phuzion- Oh so you are one of the few in the world that can draw beautiful figures WITHOUT reference. Now I am jealous. :D Keep up the beautiful work, I can only hope to someday make it look as flawless as you have.

DocBoom - Super Cute! Oh if only bunnies could do that! I guess its cause I, along with most other ladies, dig fuzzy things :)

Beatnik - Very well done. Difficult combination to pull off but I think you did a lovely job!

Swan - Just breath-taking. Lovely clarity, lines.....the whole shabang.

Amerasu - I had to stop and stare for a while. It doesnt sit well with me. Not because of the artwork, just something about a dragonfly butt on a chicken/rooster just... *twitch* Good job.

Matt Dixon - Awesome commando kitty. My cat felt so liberated after seeing that.:eek:

To all: Well done! Great turnout for this topic!

[ducktape]

Its one of those cases where I had to let it die. I couldn't get it to look right so I went for the cartoon approach.

I figured a mouse could use a shell... hard on the cat's teeth.

http://www.offramp.org/~ducktape/363.gif

Bleah.

Swan: Wow. I am in awe.

[Flip]

Well done to everyone, there's some great work here.

Firstly I've got my interpretation of a sphinx, which is stretching the topic a bit (the wings could really do with some tlc, and the whole thing could do being tightened up):

And the fearsome shark-squid:

[winjer]

WTF SHARK SQUID
I did one too for a different forum a while back. Crazy.
http://winjer.kicks-ass.net/jasg1.jpg

[shadoman]

Not much time tonight folks, lucky you. I originally did one at work today, but wasn't thrilled with it, being a snake with a mouse body as it's tail while cosuming itself...

Looks as if Squids were a theme for the past few. Here's my Squidhorse I did with pencil, and made a Duotone in Photoshop in about 45 minutes.
http://www.shawnadomanis.com/dsg/dsg363.jpg

Not crits, but amazing work from all.

[micmac]

Even though there are a lot of winged creatures, I couldn't resist doing a flying hippo. I thought of it as soon as I read the topic.

Not a fantastic feature, I agree. And he is a bit of a 'tard...

M'kay, here's a quickie. For the curious, the body is derived from an aardvark.

And here's another that I didn't do today, but the subject matter fits so I think I'll post it anyway. I dunno, I think it's kinda fun.

http://home.comcast.net/~hig314/vatrenders/vivalarevolucion.jpg

Sorry about the oh-so-boring profile views on these two, but I'm feeling lazy tonight. I promise to do something a little more stimulating next time. :)

[Matt Smith]

I did a snake lady oh so sexy. I may render her someday. For now though she will stay as a drawing. I think my favorite one today was hagac's. Even unfinished it looks really nice and I love the facial expression.

She's a camel woman... I didn't have much time today, lots of homework, but maybe I'll color her later or something... for now just quick concept sketches.

[Tiger_Lily]

Well, this *was* going to be my very fist submission to DSG, but I started it too late...the time diferances here are weird. :P Anywho, I thought I'd still try submiting just for the hell of it.

Yes, this is a very weird creature...I saw a pic of this cow that looked exactly like Tim Curry. So, I thought I'd try to combine Rocky horror with darkness from Legend. Disturbing? You bet!

http://animeneko.com/timcurry_heheh.jpg

[Amerasu]

Wow, more fantastic entries. Lots of good stuff this time :D

bgermain - I just love that rhino frog, he's hilarious!

[shadoman]

Wow. This has been one of the better DSGs lately. Many, many good, and strange, entries.
