gettin' a bit abstract on yo.

totally lost sight of the topic on this one heh. PS, 30 mins, no ref.

[Kaylon]

A tendril is like a...a.. umm..Oh.. Octopus leg .... jelly fish have tendrils...dangly things...

You mean tentagle? Haven't seen that word before and my poor dictionary doesn't know tendrils. Lost my sanity cause that word. And I blame William for that ;)

[glikster]

his eyes are so small you can't even see them.

DAMN! I completely forgot about the profile bit...

here's another try at a more accurate rendition...

This fishman's so badass he smokes underwater.

Kevin Costner's got nothing on this dude. His neck is bigger that his skull. I debated drawing bubbles coming out of the cigarette, but I thought it might be confusing. Maybe later?

Edit: I like this version a lot better. It gives him some real distinction, like one of those Sherlock Holmes bubble pipes.

I took nose-tendriled to mean that he just had big nostrils. And was riding a stuffed-animal bunny. On a pencil. On an elephant. ...I think I misunderstood something. <looks around nervously>

[crazy3dman]

Well, mostly hairless. :)

Wow.. just looked at the post… guess I am a little off topic as well… perhaps the tendriled could be the bit of stuff dripping form his nose??

~Dam… and good job all

p.s

doyoobi wrangler -- hahaha.. yes.. i think your right.. that is what tendriled means.

[Floris Didden]

Nice variety today! Weird ass subject, I couldn't help but join in the fun. That's what I like about DSGs, I can experiment all I want and go nuts in the limited amount of time I give myself.

Painter, 1 hr'ish.

[edit= (very http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/1585/410in.gif )strongly inpirated of a PJ Lynch artwork. Shame on, me Shame on me forggott to say it...]

[Hamsta]

This is a Dufun "shell" know as Albertus Pernini. A plant like alien, this creature stole away with no permit and as such must be placed under quarantine to make sure it's Earthsafe. It seems human enough to fit in, except for the occasional tendril slipping out when it's excited, and a strange "corn fart" smell.
painter, rather quick under 30 I believe.

I spent... way too long on this.. Ended up scrapping a layer, wasted an hour.
SO anyways. Probably 2h 30min on this.

[DarkArtist]

Todays word is Tendrils.

It is a good thing when we can improve our art skills and our vocabulary at the same time. :rolleyes:

[DuneFishUK]

I can't help but think I haven't really tried with this one.
Any claim that this too more than 60 seconds would be a lie.

Some great stuff today

[matias]

Heya, I havent contributed in a few days, so I thought I'd do this one, an hour in photoshop with tablet. I think I got all the criteria, I took 'man' to mean male, thats my story and I'm sticking with it!!! I screwed up cause when I resized it down to make it a jpg I starting playing with the levels then just hit save instead of save as and I couldnt undo back to the image resize, now its forever this size! D'Oh!

My Condolences Trevor, I like your image, looks like a beefcake Illithid!
Florece Didden yours is really stylish! Cool image!
Nice work everyone!

Cheers

There are so many post today and some seriously awesome ones. I found a lot of inspiration from the other post.

[Johann de Venecia]

Here's mine...

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/deceptant7/tendrilman_devenecia.jpg

A lot of good stuff tonight! Crazy3dman (youre everywhere, mate! glad to see you again), Eriboss, VegasMike, Wrangler, Inkfish, Trevor, Floris, DArkartist, Matias, might as well list everyone for the eyecandy.

edit: Sorry to hear about your cat, Trevor.

[crazy3dman]

Hey Lukavi - Yours is awesome! You're a master at taking things in an unexpected direction. I love that the picture in the paper is another tendril nose creature. :D

[Commander Obvious]

Viva la Broadband! I can post again!!!

[Commander Obvious]

By the way, the post I made before was accomplished in Painter 7 (rather than 9 because I can't afford that huge upgrade price) and in about an hour and a half.

I really admire people who have the discipline to do this every day. Sometimes I think I can't because of my work schedule but really it is because I lack discipline. I should try to do one for each day I'm actually home (so there go weekends) just to build up the habit of drawing all the time.

[William b. Hand]

How could I have guessed that this topic would be so popular?
Amazing response today people... I don't understand why it happened, but I am certainly pleased.
My topic blurb even tried to communicate some of my hesitation about it, predicting a lackluster day.

:yayca:

Well. I suppose such extra-ordinary turnout deserves a bunch of commenting... which I don't at all do frequently enough...

trevor - (sorry about your cat... Mine died last August and I miss her) Beauty of a pic you got goin' on there!. I think I actually prefer the first pic... rather nice as a study. Glad you joined in today.
lukavi - Marvelous! Looks like he's in a waiting room...
matias - Nice one. Colours bug me, though. Great ear!
aprat - Love it! Very weird.
lothcat - Your sculpting abilities seem to be expanding. I like the tendrils, eye, neck, and jaw/cheek area.
Kaylon - Love the tendrils! Makes my nostrils feel claustrophobically plugged when I look at it. I dig the colouring too, but I can't quite make out where those shadowed tendrils in the background are coming from... maybe just a leftover idea?
Hamsta - Cute tendril.
Bob.Razowsky - Welcome!. Nice take on this. Oops! You included mucho hair... tsk tsk.
Pencilator - I like the leaky eyes, and the overall idea... Easy to picture those tendrils flickering around disgustingly. I wish you'd gotten more colour variation into it... the mouth area could be more disturbing if it had some deeper reds/purples in it, I wager... Here's a link I think you'll find helpful for colouring tips: CLICK ME (http://itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm).
Eriboss - I dig the vine-like quality you've given your tendrils! Maybe continue that bold line into his back and chest/neck area?
Floris Didden - Nice one! Interesting to me that we bothe thought to include a chin protrusion and just a tiny dot of an eye.
NKunleashed - :D! Love the expression and way that mass just hangs there.
crazy3dman - Nice sketch. Solid line work and form. Reminds me of Dick Tracy™, actually...
Antilight77 and doyoobi wrangler - Rabbits will be accepted.
Phaethon - Number two is my fave. Great little drawing.
glikster - Number two is my fave. That is wonderfully weird!
damicide - ...posted just after me... Great pic! Love the sniveling look.


Wow... (phew!)
Okay... So, here's mine:

[damicide]

neat stuff everyone. hour and 45 min in painter and photoshop. would have been quicker had i not jacked up the perspective on the arm. as it was i could only do damage control. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y198/damacide/fatman.jpg

[trevor]

really nice pics mre hand and damicide
william: love the lose feel on it and limited palette
dam: nice pic overall my only crit is perhaps to soften out the tricep as it come to the elbow it looks like a bit of a sharp cutoff to the redish skin hue
but a great pic just the same
cant wait to see what tomorrow brings
like i said earlier 7 posts in 7 days for me (maybe more??)
id like someone else to pick up the torch w/ me starting today till monday

any takers??????

[troyboy]

Hey all, awesome entries! First time posting in this thread (I'm usually over on the 3D and sculptor portion of the site). I'm embarassed to have my extremely dull squid-head mixed in with so many great interpretations but, ahhh, what the hell. :P
http://www.themcdevittstudio.com/conceptart/squidface.jpg
I just got a new 9x12 Intuos3 pad (latest toy) and this is my first "finished" piece with it. I'm also using Painter for the first time and I don't have a clue what I'm doing yet! I've got a lot of reading to do. Any suggestions on where I can find good Painter tutorials or tips is greatly appreciated. Anyway, glad to be here among so much talent and sorry for babbling!

Oh yeah, about 50 min. in Painter IX. :teeth:

[Eshara]

Here's my go:
http://www.thehgl.com/rebecca/pictures/Tendril-man.jpg


Floris didden, I -love- that picture. It reminds me of that demon guy from Legend. I always thought he was super cool looking. >:D

[Floris Didden]

Damn nice turnout!
William, thanks, interesting coincidence ye. Love your piece, very freaky.
Too much stuff to comment on, my lil bro's birthday today so gotto scoot!
Had to warm up my hands though so did a quick sketch :P, 30 mins painter

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/krabad/DSG841_4.jpg

[William b. Hand]

Trevor and Floris - Glad you like! :)

There's an urge, with such response to a thread, to keep it going...

Plus, I had an urge to play with brushes and dirty things up a bit... Changes the flow, but I think I dig it. ... enh... maybe not.

[trevor]

mr hand...
as you said to me i believe i like the first one better
but those brushes look nice
and i do think i agree with you about mine
the first as a study does look better
but i needed something to keep my mind off the fact that my remaining cat keeps searching the house for the one that died .....ug
so i just kept working on it
well maybe you guys will like the advances on that peice when its done we'll see in a week!!!!!!!!!
mickey loves youhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/trevorclaxton/sketches/mickey.jpg

[Idiot Apathy]

Ah ze DSG, it's been awhile.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v13/Ragnarok27/e715769e.jpg
Agreed wierd turnout for wierd topic...

[Hamsta]

Bill Something really bothers me about this not sure what...

For more localised crits (the new one) - the eye looks like a hole more than anything (that is the eye right?) I think the textures are overpowering attention whores in this particular piece.
I think the tendril loses it's identity as it reaches back, changing thinckness, losing it's 3dness etc.

I'm willing to take that 7 days in a row challenge :P

[atomicsushi]

here's my tardy submission....http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b55/atomicsushi74/dsg841.jpg

[DarkArtist]

I am wondering....

if you see a picture or drawing on this sketch group that is a clear copy of a published artwork from some other artist...what should be done?


Is that allowed? :x

[Commander Obvious]

Alert the moderator and send them a link to the original for comparison if you'd like to do it the quiet way.

Post the original in the thread and call them out if you want to do it the loud way.

Personally, I know that there are times when I've looked at what I've finished and thought, "huh, well THAT looks familiar" but usually I would try to post the original if my work was intentionally derivative. It is up to you though. I would go with the "quiet" option if I were in your shoes.

[mysterian]

http://www.thotblot.com/conceptart/tendril.jpg
.... apologies for the hair.

[trevor]

mysterion: late but great!
floris: both pics are really well developed for as lose as they are
great technique!
keep up over the next 7 days!!!! i wanna see more

and hunger id love to know which image you think is a rip
i dont see one but who knows

[William b. Hand]

In case it isn't obvious, I'm the moderator for the DSG, so if anyone ever has any queries or concerns then let me know and I'll do my best to resolve the issue.

And in case it isn't obvious, no copying, no "fan art", and nothing recognizably from anyone else's efforts. Learning from other people's art is a legitimate method of learning, but keep in your own computer.

Anything you post in the dsg (or anywhere on the Web for that matter) should always be your own creation, and if you're doing something strongly inspired by another's hand, you would do well to mention that.

Besides the legal and ethical issues, any praise that you might get for a knock-off of someone else's work just isn't going to nourish you, so it's really a pointless endeavor.

-Wm.

p.s. Mysterion - That's disgusting. Nice job. Next time: No hair. ;)

[magma]

Sorry I'm posting so late, but I really wanted a chance to do this piece. This is my first color, and it was pretty quick and unrefined. About 50 mins. sketched, outlined in pen, then painted in Photoshop.

Everybody did great pieces!!
