Contrasting Sketchiness

[Atomick]

I know there's an existing (and awesome) creature thread, but I am trying to evolve a looser painting style, primarily based on feedback I've gotten on this forum (thanks to all for that). I'm curious what y'all think.

They're not quite sketches, but they are not really finished pieces, either. Drawn in Photoshop, from sketch to final.

Older Style - rhino vs. draft horse:

Newer Style - armadillo vs. mole vs. beetle:

I love both styles and i wouldn't prefer one...

Of course you achieved the painterly look on the second...nothing to crit...maybe more a wish: How about a composed image, where something happens, like a fight of some creatures or something with a story...i am asking this because i should do this either :rolleyes:

first one looks really like brasshorse's stuff (aaron). second one also has a familiar style, but can't think of any names. personally, i'd prefer second one, looks much better.

im with lung, the second style looks better
