might wanna check the position of the hand on that dude....

a guy touching himself while holding a little kid ???

[battlemonkey]

aww, crap... the one coment i was hoping not to get... heres a quick sketch of how i'm gonna change it!
better? ha ha~:Dhttp://battlemonkey.com/monster_buddy_club_quick_sketch_closer.jpg ?

[Blazzo]

:shocked:
Uh oh, kinda looks like a paddle, and the demon sure as hell doesn't look very trustworthy.
I know!
Make him much more menacing physically, with big spikes, the club and everything, and have the kid riding on his shoulders!
I guess it's a bit drastic, but you're going down a weird road with this one:hmm:

[egerie]

I agree. The freudian message is all over it. Makes me uncomfortable. brrr

[battlemonkey]

awww man.... this sucks.... i better change it all together! :confused: :bars:

[HellTaxi]

yeah, better keep away from the phallic references.

[Spirituus]

Lol! I agree, the adding of the club almost accentuated the whole "touching himself" concept. I do like the basic idea though man.

[Roberto]

yes , i agree with the others about the
weird look.So this is how i donne a similar theme , a kid with a evil creature
(the kid is much more evil then the creature:))

all done, this is goin on my site~!:D

[battlemonkey]

come on guys??? any comments on my revised and redone version? i didnt want to start a new thread, seeing this place is so crowded and all! :D

[cotron]

I like this new version...I think the original was cool too, just because it seemed so evil, but nice at the same time. I think the creature on the new one could use a lil bit of the evil spikes and such from the first guy...I think the composition on the new one is smooth. i'm tired and rambling

[killing.people]

all of your renditions are great.

i didnt think he was grabbing himself, i thought he was flipping off something, i did stop at his hand and wonder what was going on. after pointing it out .. it does kind of look like he could be "touching" himself. i love the demons expression and body language, something about the scenario you have setup is perfect. if i were you i would stick with the first one and redraw his right arm resting on his leg.

because of the first,
adding the club instantly made me think in the gutter, it was immediately phallic, i had thought you did it on purpose, however i know it was not.

even standing in the gutter at this point, viewing the tiger creature i found nothing sexual, even with my perverted and creative mind struggling to do so. i like the third one equally, however i felt the little boy fitted better with the demon.

*edit
i liked the space between them in the first rendition better.

I like 'em man. That last one definately catches my mind. If I was gonna be picky though.....the horns seem s a bit off to my eyes..........that is all. Other than that........I actually love it.:)

[battlemonkey]

thanks for the great comments! i think i will try placing the demons arm in another way, maybe it wont look so dirty. also i'll try an alternate version of the cat with more of an evil look with extra spikes and such. as for the cats horns, i went for the not symetrical look on purpose, i was thinking if it was too perfect it would make the piece look unnatural~ great comments, thats why i keep coming back to this site everytime i'm online

:chug:

[Blazzo]

Ah, groovy.

I like it, but now the kid is more menacing than the creature, and the meaning of the devil face isn't very clear.
Also, the cat's torso isn't twisting enough for the back legs to be in their current position.
It's expression is great, though.

[ShawnYe]

I also find that the cat's hind legs abit odd but it doesn't bothers me alot. I like this last piece the most. The expression of the cat is great, they really look very close.
