Muttonhead's NEW sketchbook!

[Muttonhead]

So me and a few other of my chums at Turbine (Including WallyChairMover - now Maginnis) have started this "Daily Art Assignment" thing. The concept is, we put a bunch of random words in a hat, draw 2 out every day, and do some sort of drawing based on the words. So I will start with these 3, and try to update it daily with the new ones...... oh, and weekends count as 1 assignment.

Words: "Safe" and "Sorrow"

Words: "Ancient" and "Furniture" (This one doesnt make any sense, but I just liked the image)

TOday's words: "Family" and "Fruit"

Hey that sounds like cool exercise and that family of fruits looks really nice. Have you ever heard of "magnetic poetry"? It's a box filled with little words(magnets) and you're supposed to make poetry or whatever you want out of em. This might add another level to the exercise you're already doing.:)

- ink

[Muttonhead]

I.was - Thanks man! Yeah, we actually have a few sets of those magnetic poetry things in the kitchen in our office.

always enjoying your work

[bwkeough]

hey, you're back! I like the fruit family...if their mouth is inside the bitten-out part, who made the bite?

cool idea for regular drawing, i'll be looking for more. Are the other guys making threads for their random drawings (and I just haven't seen them yet) or might they be posting here in the thread you started?

Hey Mutton! Sounds like a fun exercise.
These look great. I especially like rotten look on these fruits faces. You must not like your fruits and vegetables. The one with the figure has some nice movement to it. And the spikey helmet is a cool design.

WAAAUGH!!!! HAHAHA. wow, good eye. Well, i think I will leave it that way, just for me own amusement.

Thanks all. More to come!

Hahahah aww man...

nice stuff man. love to see more.

[Muttonhead]

Ok, here was our weekend assignment (wish I had more time to spend on it, but it was a busy weekend):

The words were: "Spacecraft" and "Pedigree". I realize pedigree has meaning beyond dog-related things, but I thought this was a cute idea.

[Muttonhead]

Well, that was a stinker. But here's a better one. Didn't do the little assignment this time (The words were hydraulic and Universal), but i did get a chance to do this little guy:

[Phuzion]

ah ha ha! That fruit family rocks! And that crazy creature at the end is... well, crazy. Great work man. Can't think of any crits right now, so you're off the hook, but I'll be back! Peace

-Daniel

[bwkeough]

that "hourned roosterpig" F-ing rocks! great design, render and color. If this is the calibre of work you're doing all day at Turbine they're not paying you enough (I have no idea what your salary is, but it's inadequate).

[Muttonhead]

TOday's words: Deringer and Insect.

[bwkeough]

you're on a roll here. More niftiness and I like the silhouette of the legs on the far side of its body.

[geki]

Hehe interesting concepts :)
Keep them coming.

[deschamps]

awesomeness.
Great color on that last one (the one before it too).

[Muttonhead]

no problem getting behind on posts if you hit us with a heap all at once. Nice nice drawings, too! I'm really digging the intricate details in the costumes. You have an easy loose feel to your drawings, but most of your humanoids are posed stiffly -- maybe draw some dancers to open up the limbs you draw from imagination?

[bRyaN]

Your armor details are slcik as hell bro...

Keep hittin us with all that sweet stuff...you can be late all you want...

[deschamps]

cool stuff sean. My favs are the 4th and the 1st. Nice suggestion bwkeough... I'd like to see that.

[Oliver23]

Nice stuff! I like the tower thingie.

[liam.c]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hothothot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
verry cool man well its allways verry cool here though init
:)@@@!!!<3 exelent mate !

[steak-tron]

Great sketches! that's a cool idea for idea-generation...rooster-pig is hilarious :tihi:

cools stuff man, looking forward to more.

[Muttonhead]

Thanks All!! I do appreciate the kind words and words of advice.

BWKEOUGH: too right. I need to practice more movement and action posees. I will heed your advice.

Here's a little thumbnail sketch teaser that I turned into a final piece which you can see in the finished section, check it out and let me know what your thoughts are:

Wow, I really love your style in your paintings, and your sketches are really tight too! I'd give you a crit but I honustly can't think of anything :nohope:
I really love that fourth one in your dump, very nice pose and well proportioned! Really looking forward to more!

Cheers,
Dave
