Triceratops: surely the baddest vegetarians ever to walk the earth.

Dinosaurs - Velocirapper

Hey guys it's good to part of Collective Thinking and here's my very first post. My first dinosaur pic ever too I think. Really enjoyed doing this and took a few liberties with the theme, but what the hell. It was only as I was drawing the arms that I realised they looked a little ''Westsiiiide'' and from there put on the cap, chain and thought of a name that would work and tie it all in. I know it probably looks nothing like a real Velociraptor... Anyway all done from head, no reference.
Included a process pic too. Hope you like it. G

Dinosaurs

So I was pretty sly this month, managed to knock out a monthly post with a well over due favour for a friend of mine.  My mate does a lot of racing and he asked me before Christmas would I do some kind of dinosaur design for his racing helmet. So months n months later here it is. Sorry mate, turns out I don't have as much time as I thought I did.  At least u get the rest of the racing season out of it.

His racing helmet is white so I kept the bg white and the rest of his racing gear is red so, red felt like the right colour for the dinosaur.

Above is a test with a font and the bottom is a bigger version of the raptor for the blogs sake.  Nice and early with the monthly post this month so anything else I post will be bonus points!

This is the main graph for the helmet I should get the finished design up after a bit more work with my m8, maybe by the end of the month... I've kept him waiting long enough.

below is iteration1, on the big dinosaur head i painted in a scaly texture just to add a bit o life to it. Obviously its no longer gonna b a white helmet

Heroes of the 21st Century

Yoda force-surfing on R2D2. This is in anticipation of the moment, later this century, when Star Wars becomes public domain and we, the people can "fix" it.

The Original 21st Century Hero

I was going to try something very political for my hero piece but I ran out of time and sold out to doing a quick sketch of Spiderman 2099. The original 21st century hero

21st Century Heroes

Jane Fonda rules - the woman is in her 70's and is still rockin it.

21st century heroes

i feel a bit wrong that others went for actual people and i still go for computer game characters........ oh well

21st Century Heroes

Above is cartoon I saw last month, in and around the time the SEALS got Bin Laden (duh!).  I just thought it was cool, so when anna picked the theme for this month, I thought I would do my own version of the piece. Just got informed that the artist of the original piece is J.D. Crowe.  It's such a powerful piece.


Turned out referencing these two guys was pretty tuff, couldn't find the same Helmet that's in the original one, but while looking I saw that the SEALS also used another hat so I thought I'd use that one (I was also pressed for time).  This is just my interpretation is all.  I put the two towers in the BG cause thats pretty much what I saw when I looked at the original, it's almost like America is complete again... I dunno, The cartoon really worked for me, just hope I did some kind of justice to it.

Artist Rendition of the Mr. Kipling

The ability to consistantly make awesome cakes.
The portrait of the fine man himself. Its the least I could do.

Heroes of the 21st Century

'Thanks Tina' by Elaine Snowden

I picked Tina Fey 'cause, not only did her impersonation of Sarah Palin effectively ruin her vice presidential campaign and save the world from THAT horrible prospect, but she also wrote Mean Girls :D

Crazy Hobo

Sorry it's late ( and barely started let alone almost finished), but I only got round to a concept sketch. I was playing with the idea of having one of those kellogg's crunchy nut people who has basically become a crunchy nut junkie.  This is Eric, Eric was kind of a big deal but now he just deals crunchy nut boxes. He sells off what he can to kids and takes their pocket money to buy more of the good stuff. Eric like most crunchy nuts, prefers his cereal straight from the box milk poured right in and like most crunchy nuts Eric has sold the shirt right off his back just to get his hands on some... poor Eric

I'll try n finish a post this month

MAY

ok for Mays monthly post how about,

Hero's of the 21st century

crazy hobo

here's last months post

Crazy Hobo

I get a :( beside my name because Im on a few days off and I dont have time to do it at the moment. I have a sketch done, but I want to colour it! Sorry! :(

Crazy Hobo

Only one of these hobos is actually crazy, but I figure a giant japanese man who can shoot fire out of his hands is probably welcome at most hobo fires.  I also like to think that at some point in his wanderings around america, Ryu must surely have encountered the littlest hobo.

SUGGESTION:  can we edit the settings of the blog to show more posts on the front page?  I think you can have up to 500. What say you, brothers and sisters?

Little time, little late, little colour.
