Spare: The Spear-Bear!
Not too original I think...Oh and those guns are lifted straight from Earthworm Jim...let's call it a reference!

Great use of colour in everyone's work so far I think.

He looks more like a gopher on roids than a bear.

[artdwx]

Ok here is mine right down to the wire, this is pen and ink and watercolor.

[Amerasu]

Just one quick comment since he did the extra special version :teeth:

Dindon Ha! That's fantastic! I can't believe you fit it all in - very nice work. I love that bear :)

[DarkArtist]

Since I love getting comments....high time I start giving them too.

So.....blah_blah/on :blahblah:

Fal$eProfit, That is alot of yellow. It would pop more if the BG was a different color. The Paw pads are very cute.

Jakub Sudra, My inner-gay man is shamed. :bashful: I never thought of a nice fuzzy human "bear" Way to be different!

Hamsta, Very cool! It looks like a movie poster. Sort of looks like the bear has a feed bag on his nose tho.

SimoSK8. So cute. It's Disney worthy. A space bear in a twinky suit.

flcl, The smoking ear is just a great touch.

goran, The black and white picture is astounding! It looks like a sci-fi book cover. The green one gives a very haunting....'lost' sort of feel. How much time do you spend doing this stuff?

Blue_Tiger, Just great. I am in awe of your linework. So clean.

dischord, This was one of my faverites today. Except the pointed ears make it seem more Cat then Bear.

Amerasu, It's the bear-geek! Fear the bear that can do computing on his belt buckle.

Mdforehand, Nice fur texture and shading.

JonathanEdwards, Awww....i feel so bad for the poor thing. I just want to hug him. Nice work at bringing a story to life in one picture.

brainofj, Nice work! The colors are great and the star effect is very neat!

llothcatl, The white face, hollow eyes and slack/limp armed pose make him look like the zombie bear from outer space.

dindon, Wow....um.... wow. :$ This picture is sort of a visual drug trip.

csteingart. He does have a gopher quality...but he is a nicely buff gopher. I like the water color look the shading has.

:cheerleader: artdwx, That is one mean looking bear! Nice clean linework. Solid pose. You are my cheer winner for today!

blah_blah/off

Ok, so its not nearly done (didn't even get to the second pencil line layer) but I'm really digging this bear. I figured, however, that at 12:45 its probably time to call it quits on yesterday's topic, so this I will finish as a fully developed....something....

[matias]

Ok, 2hrs Photoshop + tablet.

Eh, people don't mind if you're a bit late.

Looks great so far though.

I think all of the submissions today were great. Nice job everyone.

And thanks DarkArtist... Blame William b. Hand for the idea! :D

[Hamsta]

DarkArtist Yeah, I realize the painter elements don't mesh in very well :shrug:

your work is quite amusing with the silly helmet on the raging bear, but it suffers alot in the technical department - the bear has some issues with anatomy, mostly his feet and arms (head is nice though) the suit dosen't seem quite right, I think some color sharing would help in that department. It could also benefit from some more "grounding" and a bg.

[goran]

DarkArtist-Thank you. The first illustration was done in 20 minutes, I found the picture from Matrix the movie and used that as texture for Deco brush in Z-Brush, the rest was
done really fast, later some finishing touches in Photoshop, helmet and accent on space suit, then I realized that I didn’t read whole assignment text, especially the game part
and after few bears sorry beers I did the other one in 25 minutes, if you look closely
There is not much detail on it just overall look, I am still learning that. It was done in
Open Canvas.

[llothcat]

darkartist: I was trying to go for that look..kinda like "Doom3". I just saw some of the baddies in it over my friends shoulder as he got his a@@ kicked:D

[Phaethon]

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a44/Phaethon/bear2.jpg

Sorry, I just really like this stupid bear, so I had to post the finished line art.

Also: Awesome job overall on this topic. SimoSK8, goran, artdwx, and Hamsta- I like yours in particular. Cool stuff.

Thanks, and yes, that is rather inspiring ;)

dindon - It's cool that you limited colours and I like the action from yours picture.
I think that you could draw bear deeper in the back. He is now as distinct as things from the 1st plan and it flatten your image
