Theus's Sketchbook

[BeastofOblivion]

Kickin off this sketchbook finally.

Hello all! Most of what I draw involves creatures. However, I am working to broaden my skill set and will be searching for help once I've moved. My biggest weaknesses are humans, color, lighting, and just about everything inorganic.

Thanks for dropping by.

Commence unfinished creature sketches!

[dkounios]

loving the muscles you got on your creatures.
especially on that dog like creature (3rd from bottom). love his face!
can't wait to see more!

[Ignominious]

DUDE! your creatures are insane! they're all so cool! i can't wait to see more stuff that you post here!

[Iridyse]

Fantastic creatures!! I'm totally spellbound, more please!

[Ignominious]

hey, i'm back!
know what? i think what i find so entrancing about your creatures is that your one of the few people here that can blend enough real anatomy with abstract design. most people have too much of one or the other (me, for example)
yeah, but keep it up! this is gonna be an awesome sb!

[Carbono]

As ignominious said, your blending of real world anatomy with fantastic anatomy really gives your creatures a feeling that they could "exist" on this world.

Keep it up man, pretty nice Sketcbook!

your creature design and rendering skill make me hellish
and this drawing reminds me DMC 4 and it's "lock and load" sound track
post more.

Hey guys, thanks for coming by last time and for the kind comments, they were much appreciated.

And Hmanafi, I'm going to have to check out that soundtrack now - thanks for the mention!


Without further ado, more sketches. I usually take the time to explain those concepts that are more solid and thought out, but as much of this post and the last have been comprised of random playing I haven't found it completely necessary.

As a general overview for this sketch post: I toyed with some rider/mount concepts, nothing too crazy (the demon goat lost his rider somewhere...), then bounced around with one race and a few critter ideas.

Thanks for looking. :]

Im liking what I see here. Very intriguing creatures and character concepts. Cant wait for more.

[FunkdaFide]

This is some nice work! Very dynamic posing. I love it.

[BeastofOblivion]

Heyas, sorry for the long delay. Just trying to get set up again in a new place.

Been trying some painting, and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I think. There's two of several anatomy studies I've done of my Relk, followed by my interpretation of a friend's character Vidya (she has a sketchbook on here somewhere - she's Turbofanatic, check her out).

And then finally, there's a recent WIP at the bottom. I took it into class with high hopes for a decent critique and came out disappointed, so if anyone has any suggestions or advice on this I'd really appreciate it. Especially on perspective, and that darned turret gun...thing.

As always, thanks for dropping in!

Shnikes... cool stuff! pld:

I like where your recent WIP is goin'. Wish I could give you some helpful crits, but the only thing I notice is that the phoenix-creature's stance may be a little off, in terms of supporting its weight -- unless it's backing away from the gunner?

Anyway, much spiffiness here... show us more!!!

[jdeegz]
