Today's topic is: Creature: "Crypt Fiend"

[xbiten]

wohooo...first...

EDIT: haha, I forgot the pic...:bash:
Ok here it is.


EDIT nr 2: now I have finished it. The total time stoped around 1-1.15 h. very nice contributions so far. Keep up folks. cheers....

nice pic xbiten, but it needs colour, even just a 'multiply' layer over it with a flat colour would make it look more, er, colourful.

cant wait to see what comes out of this topic.

i probably wont have a try till tomorrow.

[Ideaspark]

Ok this time I tried to stay within the time limit about 2 hours on this i think.

Every character drawn with dangly tentacle facescan only make our dark lord Cthulhu stronger!

About 45 min in Painter :D

whoa...nice job everyone...haha

[Morr]

heh this might be a bit stupid...
But...
Could someone explain what exactly is a "fiend" :rolleyes:

Nice stuff everyone.
I really like Ninjataotaos pic :)

[Dr. Stevew]

About 1 and a half in Painter 8, then 15 minutes in PS 7.

http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~bpeters3/images/crypt-copy.jpg

Great stuff so far by everybody!

[JABAJAWOOLU]

Matt and mike... guys, thats just amazing.

[beeglebug]

Morr, a Fiend is usually taken to be any evil creature, usualy undead or demonic, in this sense it is anything evil that lives in a crypt, either to feed on the dead, or to protect them (maybe even one of them).

Here's my contribution for today, probably not a fiend per se, but it came from a crypt, so sue me :)

EDIT: I've added an alternate version, I like it, but i'm never sure about 'effects heavy' stuff... See what you think.

@Ideaspark - I like your style. It's really clean & unique.

[young paddy1]

15 minutes overall

[auden100]

I've already spent way too much time on this, and its still not done. But I like it anyway. Maybe I'll finish it later, but probably not. So here you go.

A real quick and nasty sketch from me. I tried to do something with the nose and mouth and failed, but damn it... I had to get one in this week. :mad:
http://pookabin.com/images/DSG/DSG422_CryptFiend.jpg

xbiten - He looks a friendly fellow. And "oh my... what big nostrils you have!"

Ideaspark - Lovin' the head on that thing. Interesting brush combinations.

village idiot - Drybrush acrylics eh?! Similar to the feather oils I enjoy so much. I'll have to give them a try. Real nice skin tones and emaciated look.

artistanbul - I've just been checking out this weeks topics and have noticed your different styles. Great stuff all round.

ninjataotao - very nice pose.

JSlayer - I like the multiple eyes, but the anatomy could do with more deffinition IMHO. I'm not reading his hind quarters. Is he coming out of a hole?

Matt Dixon - Great as always. I wish I had stuck to a normal mouth and nose too.

jasonka - I love the look of the skull he's holding, but I have a real hatred of cartoon style scars.

MIKECORRIERO - Super sweet filter work. Looks kinda like a transparent doppleganger thing. Nice fresh looking design.

Dr. Stevew - Shit I love that!

beeglebug - I'd stick with the original: the line work looks too good to mess up.

Shea - Gotta love that face. The stance and detail are very nice.

young paddy1 - The bandages add alot of character to that. I like it.

auden100 - really good design. The anatomy of the kneck and torso throw me off a little, but the rest looks cool.

[Ideaspark]

Matt Dixon, Mike Corriero those are really great I quite like them

Auden I realy love yours as well, except for the bg, looks a little too flat , but the creature is awesome.

[ArtoriusRex]

He's on his break.

[YeeWu]

Not very fiendish but here's my attempt:

[Antilight77]

Twisting and turning threw the tunnels he travels… Exploring and slaying, adventuring and seeking… then he sees the young adventure who lost his way, and the crypt fiend finds dinner.

[Seraph]

ugh, didn't have enough time. You know, early work, drawing way too late :P

I started in the right side, and it gets sloppier as i go left.

But hell, it was fun! TOMORROW (I hope :P)

Didn't turn out as I'd have wanted, but I learned a bit anyways.

ah, enough rambling, here it is:

Practicing on doing these under an hour. Background from ref. 57 minutes today. Painter 8, as always.

great stuff people. Too many to comment on individually and still have a life, but ArtoriusRex's stood out. Love it :D

Cheers,
~Oreg.

[Defunct]

quality stuff here today, creepy too..

unfortunately no time to finish mine; atleast for the dsg. might finish it later, if I still think it's worth finishing tomorrow (yeah right, like that's really gonna happen.. :p)

[Engine Man]

Hopefully I can try to rescue this sad thing when I get home tonight, but I'm not counting on it.

http://home.comcast.net/~paranormalbob/cryptfiend.JPG

Great work, everybody!

[DV8]

way more time spent on this one than usual. started this concept sketch for a video game I worked on a while back...

http://www.mikephillips.ca/dsg/dsg_422_crypt_fiend copy.jpg

[Stray]

Maybe tomorrow I'll actually finish a piece. Damn short attention span...

http://negativehalo.net/outgoing/art/cryptfiend.jpg

[Osmus]

finished! please criticize me! im trying to learn. i like all the posts today they are gross. ( in a good way )

http://img7.photobucket.com/albums/v18/osmus/cryptfiend2.jpg

[shadoman]

I had something else in mind when I set out to paint this, but I am okay with the results.

About 1.5 hours in Painter 8.
http://www.shawnadomanis.com/dsg/dsg422.jpg

Wow. You guys did some great work today. Creepy eepy...

[Ideaspark]

Shadoman that kicks ass

[JABAJAWOOLU]

here is my shot for today. 45 mins. might colour it but not sure. http://www.renderosity.com/photos/ArtistArticle7945.JPG

[pipmoo]

This is my first try at posting here. Took about 20 minutes. Would have been shorter but i lost the pen for my damned wacom tablet! Oh, the humanity!

[JABAJAWOOLU]

when posting a reply there is a button labled IMG. hit that button and a box will come up. clear the box out and put the link for your picture in the box and click ok. submit and the pic will show up just fine.

nice idea. very morbid.

[Oddo]

The crypt fiend. The particularly nasty one with piercings. Drags other corpses with him and hits you with them . So I could say he also works in psycological ways ;). In the bottle on his back he has slimy anti rigor mortis lotion that he purs on him every once in a while. :D

Pencil, about one hour, scanned , blurred a bit some areas to look more painterly :). Also touched up the colors a bit.The cyan is my blue pencil that starts my sketches. The violet is 4B normal lead pencil. ...
no more tablet and color till the pencils skills get better:).

Lots of good stuff on this thread. Will be back later with comments :).

[nephilim]

hey JABAJAWOOLU
i dont know whats up, i did just what you said but only the link keeps showing up. I ahve tons of work to do so ill figure it out later. thanks

[JSlayer]

thanks gumdrop :) urs is great man.. i wonder if i can ever reach that in 10 years.. and em.. the legs, i dont know, really... but it should be dragging itself along the ground, no bottom :p

So many nice pictures, Morr, YeeWu, Wooden, Serath, Shado, DV8... all great works ..

and umm osmus, i not experienced so i dont know how to give critics but its definitely better than mine! :D

[Ideaspark]

@ Railboy thanks, i've been using photoshop to edit photos forever but have only within the last few weeks really tried painting with it. Glad you like the results.

BTW I really digged your dragon from yesterday's DSG

[Engine Man]

Wow, Shadoman, I am digging that! Also loved yours, Oddo. Mighty kickass.

Big applause and humble bowing to Matt Dixon and MikeC.

Mine is too far beyond help. Maybe next time.

Fantastic stuff, everybody. :)
