Its my birthday, woo yay!

Look, a goat with wellies! this post was totaly worth it!

"The human body"

I thought I dreampt this, but its real. One day I was looking inside a bookshop and I came across this really bizzare Book on the human body. I never bought it but years later I found it again in a random charity shop and decided to get it.

Sufficed to say it looks like it was illustrated by a madman. Random landscapes of human flesh with innocent children playing amongst human organs melting into the scenery. Here are the four most striking things I noticed. Sadly my scanner is not quite big enough to catch all of it.

I need to get a root canal next monday.

Gag me with every spoon ever made.

Another change...

Changed the Fingers and toes to be blue to increase focus on the eyes of this creature.

See? There is always room for improvement. Incidentally the image I posted on the last blog entry is now out of date, again. No regrets however, this looks way better!

Update on plant guys!

Heres how they stand at the moment. There may still be more things to tweak with the blue guy, but this is how I like them currently.

More later!

Updated Pitcher plant guy!

Take-a-look-a THIS! *gong sound*

I just removed those ball things from the hips and shablammo! This also helped me make it look better colored in

I did a few other things to make it gel better, namely I made the eyes the same as the fingers, toes and the spikes that jut out of its back.

Now all I have to fix is the underwater Blue creature.

I'm not sure how much needs changing to be honest, both color schemes I designed for it don't look quite right, but at the same time I need to make it recognisably blue. I'll possibly need to find a better plant design. One thing I may consider doing is removing the wibbly fin bits from the stalks, so it looks more like a reed.

I guess we'll just have to see!

Plant Dudes update!

I've changed the pumpkin guy!

Suffice to say he's a lot more firey now, which is nice.


There are still things I would want to change about this, mainly I need a better means of scanning in the drawings. My solution is simple however, just use higher resolution images and scans. The composition can be better too, but mostly this was to get the designs looking right. The only design  that I entirely like however is the mushroom guy. The greens have funny hips that I don't know what to do with and I'm not sure about the color scheme used on the blues. Another thing they lack is a single unifying feature that would make them look less like seperate entities.

I'll dwell on it for a while.

PS I posted some new images on my deviant art account.

Some plant dudes!

Ever played Overlord? They had these minion fellas who had four different colours and jobs. I decided to make my own version out of plants. and here they are.

The Browns are the Mushroom guys. they are physical attackers who use weapons and can wear armour and helmets to protect themselves

The Reds are the pumpkin fellas and they're as halloweeny as all hell. They use their flaming carved pumpkin heads to spit fireballs into their stalk hands so they can throw it at distant enemies. Yes, I said 'Stalk hands'. Real pumpkin leaves look nothing like that, so its just part of the vine. The main body of these guys are green, I'm currently working out a way to make them more red and Autumny so these are not the final design.

The Greens are giant pitcher-plant men! They use poisonous barbs growing out of their backs as a deadly weapons. Just like in the games they are based on they attack best from behind and look kind of like ninjas. But don't be fooled, that's not a high collar they're wearing, its a giant lower jaw. They sometimes open it when they are flabbergasted at something and it makes them look really goofy.

The Blues are an odd design. They are floating ephemeral underwater plant creatures, their only jobs is to rescue people from water, and to bring fellow plant dudes back to life by cramming their life-force back into their body.

The main reason why I did this was to practice my procedures. Making this I kept running into annoying logistical problems, I was intending to make this in such a way that I could remove and rearrange things if I ever wanted to single out an element or change somthing completely.

Observe:

Notice how its not shaded in correctly and how the blurry bit at the top is cut off? These were things I had to fix in post.

I intend to refine the design on this thing later, so its not so much of a problem. Until then though I'll keep on truckin!(TM)

HI!

A while back I made a calender, and when I say a while back I mean a looooooong while back. Recently I remade this calender featuring everything I remember.

Here they all are:

Also, since before I last posted am now in possesion of a new Puss cat!

His name is Buttons and it used to be owned by one of my brother's friends. If I remember I'll try to upload a photo of him.

I'll also try and explain exactly what I thought I was doing with this later.

More of these things.

I'll explain what these are on my Deviant art account: here.
(Except for the second one, I have no idea what the deal with that one was).
