meh...

[Hamsta]

Wondering about the meaning of life, especially such a different life, can really shake an anteater man's resolve.
MS Paint with a mouse, because my computer's power source was blown, and I'm too lazy to move and install the wacom :P

[spyroteknik]

squidmonk3j, made me laugh <3
chaosrocks, he looks like he needs a cuddle :)
subvicto, nice, you could try to duplicate your linework, set the layer to multiply over the top of your paint layer, rework highlights over the top
bunny, nice one
djb5k, good concept
hamsta, cool, mspaint tones work well
adamb, dig the colours

mine, notanelephant :wink:

The lady's love Aaron, his tounge is the most agile in the world.....

[MasumiX]

Some really flash pictures in here, inspirational as always :D

I sorta went the opposite direction, tossed the unique anteater head out the window, I guess that the body frame coudl actually be several different animals, but I figure that I manage to capture the fur pattern OK 40~90 minutes

chaosrocks: you could go even looser and less defined with those gesture drawings and I think that they would have alot of movement, they feel restricted by the detail

spyroteknik that painting made me snort, I fear to find it on the wall of my grandfathers' house :fear:

.adamb nyahahahah, our next topic for DSG should be the Ant-boy that fears to be eaten by the Anteater Man,

[sketchi]

don't be sexist!! j/kj/k.
anyway, an anteater-WOman for you! :D

[invinciblewombat]

sort of filled up the rest of the page as well but there's an anteater man in there

really dig the pixelated tonality you got out of mspaint hamster and an amazing portrait spyroteknik

[subvicto]

groovy

[squidmonk3j]

a lot of nice stuff, esp spiro and dead bunny:D

[Dead Bunny]

Spanks Squid :)

Spiro I think the only thing your dude needs is a glass of wine and a pipe sticking out the end. Nice touch with the pattern on the wall. Really warm.

Sketchi: I thought about doing a woman too but somehow I know it would've gotten lude... Love the Grannyteater.

Hey guys, this is my first post here at ConceptArt.org. Looks like a fun place to get some solid practice :rendered: I wish I had time to get him colored or something, maybe a dynamic pose... but oh well.

Quick sketch, I went in a more super hero sort of direction :rendered:

Now that I'm looking at it, I am not at all happy with his left arm, but sketchy sketchy...

[chaosrocks]

AGA by far the most anteater-y. all the way to the nearsighted expression! Vaughny boy..really quite funny.

we seem to have trouble making a visual difference between , anteater, and Elephant...I think a little tapir snuck in too. I know I did
turns out their snout s are fairly stiff rather than the flexible hose we think of with elephants, and the mouth is tiny way out at the tip with a hole barely big enuff for ants,,,

chaos rocks

[dagreengo]

ant eater boy
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/dagreengo/dsg1078.jpg

crap i shoulda read chaos' post first :( grumble grumble flexible hose-nose grumble

[Lingmerth]

Aga - First non vector based (or vector like) image I've seen from you, and it's looking good! :teeth: very nice and clean lines.

as for not having done anything myself, well I've been (and are) really buissy :(

[guggemmaneuver]

i was going to do one, but i kept drawing the anteater as his gigantic phallus. guess it's for the best that i didn't finish this dsg
hehe

Didn't put much thought into it sadly, just felt like drawing something really quick and rough.

[Sheepeeh]

Quick sketch in ArtRage, followed by the quickest lining and coloring ever in Photopaint. Bug covered sticks are the lollipop of the future.

Zuczus - Welcome on board m8 :D

"I don't step on anthills because the cycle of it"

[chaosrocks]

Zuczus--nice flavour, your blending of man and beast is really convincing.

[Zuczus]

JakkaS - thx m8 :teeth:

[JakkaS]

Sheepeeh, MasumiX, spyroteknik, .adamb, Dead Bunny, squidmonk3j, Zuczus, Aga [:D] - nice sketches and ideas guys.

This one was too good to do nothing, so here are my sketches and final.
b/w sketch - few minutes.
color sketch - 1,5 hour.
final - smoething about 3,5-4 hour...I know, I am slow, hehe.

[chaosrocks]

heh...daily sketch it says.... and Jakkas put's up spiffy finished works that took hours and is totally awesome (if he'da put up the sketch that woulda been super ..might have asked afew questions about anteater anaotmy, mouth and placement of tail,,, but jeez it's so cool I don't dare).
Gorgeous, if its going in the portfolio you might want to give it a bit more of a ground plain

chaos

[Zuczus]

wow, short making-of :D JakkaS is the best!!
3,5-4 hour...I know, I am slow, hehe.
yeah right, i'm still working on my blind hunter from COW #042... :bashful:

Thx m8. The Anteater was just an inspiration. I didn't studied it closely. Btw, I was thinking about adding the ground but when I added these yellow/orange ants, I have resigned of this idea.

Zuczus - I should see what can Chuck_mate or Tyranx do in these few hours. :D

[Farvus]

Nice work guys! Here's my anteater man.

http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/889/sp276rq.jpg

[JakkaS]

Nice Farvus...but he looks like he need two revolvers. :D

[Farvus]

Thanks... I could give him some revolvers but recently I avoid giving my characters any swords, axes, spears, pistols, guns. So far I've been doing this too much :).

[futureprobe]

Some really fantastic work here ... a real pleasure to see!

Should really be joning in again. I sure do need the training :)

Keep it up guys!

[surfacemonkey]

JakkaS- that's awesome. That's like a professional rpg characterbook illustration.

The DSG rules says we have 23 hours and 59 minutes to complete each drawing. You finished way too fast! :}

farvus, instead of guns, you should give your anteaterman some really cool boots, an ant-flavored soda, and a hot anteatermaneater girlfriend---or something to that effect.

Ok, I'll get back to work now.

[sleepychic]

Ah it's been a while, thought I'd re-join the DSG fun.

(That's an ant mound. Uh, yes, termites mound, I don't know if ants do. D'oh.)

[Aga]

too many cool stuff that it would be hard to comment ;)

JakkaS- I like the magic spell effects, the antpattern and this sillent, concentrated, magical mood - it's how I remember fairytales from childhood.
nice to see the sketch too :)

[Hamsta]

invinciblewombat Turning ms paint to b&w replaces the horrible color swatches with what looks like comic half tones :^^:
umm... I like the little dancing creatures :p
The upper body of the anteater man works pretty well, line and shading wise, but why 6 eyes? looks like it's part spider as well. The bottom is very distracting and rather annoying, with it's out of proportion anatomical wierdness... ran out of paper? :)

spyroteknik Sorry, I can't see your pic, probably something wrong on my side, I'll check again, see if firefox feels like displaying it

[Tabasko]

around 25min

[eonfaiths]

sweet stuff guys. i really like that ant custom brush jakkas

[Hamsta]

Spyroteknik Ah, here we go. Have you ever played Star Control? this reminds me of the VUX (Very Ugly Xenoform) :teeth:
Lovely textures, nice "old masters" portrait feel to this, with the static "I've been sitting in the same position for hours" posture, and a sad look in it's eyes.
A little uncomfortable with the size of the thing (I have to scroll) and not sure this is an anteater and not something else, but good job nontheless

[pl4y_wi7h_m3]

this 1 looks erotic 2 me... I know I mentally ill person haha !

*laughing*

I can't believe I missed this post. Yeah, now that I look at it, the positioning of the hand has some definite "self-pleasuring" connotation to it.

Freudian slip?
