Wight and Elypticlid

Been style-searching this past week. It's kind of my usual crud, but it's fun trying new things, and I have an idea that I'm really trying to nail. Neither of these are very close, but they kind of represent the mood at least.

HEY ALL!

WE ARE MOVING TO WWW.CREATURESPOT.COM !

Why move? The creaturespot will be a much easier to manage website with a ton more content for creature lovers to engage in. Please take the time to come check out WWW.CREATURESPOT.COM . Please subscribe to our new site as it will encourage new creature artists to joining our new site.

If you have any questions or concerns about the new site email me at daviblight (@) gmail (.) com

Thanks :)




PS: If any members of this website did not get an invite by accident please email me and i'll set you up pronto!

The Visitor

I did this pic for Taron's Lifeless Forest challenge on CGHub. I wanted to do a creature that wasn't evil, and wasn't good. It just "was". It needed to survive and so it absorbed the creatures of the forest and in doing so it took on some of the characteristics of the inhabitants in the woods. I wanted this creature to look very alien, and have various materials on it that "didn't quite" mesh, yet still worked. Metal? Feathers? Scales? Wet, dry? Anyway, enough bleh bleh bleh... I hope you guys dig it!

You can see some of my WIP on the competition thread here:

Werewolves!

Hey fellow creature artists & monster fans X)

thnx for lookin!

should we post studies of real animals/creatures?

What do you guys think about posting studies of animals/creatures?

Nap time

It's been forever since I've put anything up here!

Some creatures i did at DreamForge Entertainment

The General

My Dominance War 4 Mini challenge entry.
Finally got around to finishing some of the rushed parts up. I could still work with it but I think I'll call it done! Sketches are on my Sketch of the week:

grigg

Been awhile so I thought I should post something. I had intended to give this a few more passes, but just in case I never get around to it here's a little something from me.
Amazing work here as always guys and gals.

Macropinna microstoma inspired.

"DOLL o1"

Another little sump'n sump'n... I've been kinda on a Photoshop bender, lately.

[ EDIT: I made this one a bit more monstrous, and thought it would be worth adding... ]


Photoshop 7

A bit goofy, regarding the anatomy (In particular, the unnaturally truncated torso), but I rather like this anyways, so...

Here.

Dominance Wars mini contest

closeup of his pretty lil'mouth

initial sketch: ballpoint pen on small notepad

So I tried to pull of the Dominance Wars "General" min challenge in one night-not a smart move-but time is valuable so it was all I had X)
I'm only including the close up detailed shot of the face since I feel the full image was 'epic fail' hahaha
if you feel you must see the whole thing stop by my blog at http://joevriens.blogspot.com/ or click the image. There's also some WIP's there and a longer description of the Dominance Wars.
oh...I was entering through the CGHub btw.

thanks!
Joe

Goaty

Great creatures posted since I was here last! Here's a quicky I did recently depicting the god Pan, lord of the wilderness (or my version anyhow)

wait, what?

errrrr...

Take a left up at the corner, go two blocks....

A fun sketch that I've just done this afternoon for my brothers birthday.
I'll probably print it and frame it as a gift.

Creature Designs -- Michael Jaecks

Hey guys. My name is Michael Jaecks. I'm a freelance Concept Artist and Illustrator living in Minneapolis, MN and working for clients everywhere the interwebs can reach. Davi invited me to join the blog and I'm pleased to be here. Here's just a sample of some work. Images 2 and 3 above were for Wolfgang Baur's Kobold Quarterly. Really great work from everyone here and I'm looking forward to seeing and sharing more.

what the hell? oh fuck I did draw another one....
ughhhhhh

Trijaw

It's embarrassing posting among such greatness, but i need to get my act in gear and start pumping out more personal work.

Big Guy WIP

Here's the underpainting for that sketch I posted earlier...
It's a little dark... I'll probably brighten it up as move forward.
Comments and critiques are welcome!

DW 3 stuff

So Dominance War 4 is starting soon. I have no idea if I'll have time to particpate again... I'm going to have some major crunch in March at work. But it was alot of fun (and alot of work) last year so hopefully I can do it again. I was happy with my design for DW3 but I had to turn in an unfinished entry. But I still made it to the top 50 so that was cool!
I recently painted more on the head concept... so here it is and I figured I should post some of the other stuff too!
If only I had one more weekend.... sigh.
Here's the original forum thread if anyone is interested in the progression!

Behemot

Hi guys,

My name 's Fred Rambaud , I have been working as an illustrator and concept artist for the past 4 years now. Mike was kind enough to invite me, thank you sir ;)

So here is my first post.

This is a concept for a personal project, a mount for an ogre-sized warrior.
This is the sketch or line



and this is the color version



I always like showing both versions because I feel that you lose something in style and also design when it is painted.

Hope you guys like it :)

TINY ALIEN BUG

Some Photoshop.

HAPPY DOG

Been a while for me, posting-wise, so here is something of the creature type...
A rather grainy snapshot of a painting I just did called HAPPY DOG. ^ _ ^
Is Airbrushed Acrylic.

eat your veggies

part of a personal project I am doing...more to come

Carisapiens

Here's an alien scholar, reading a book. A fairly quick and loose sketch, done in pencil then scanned into Photoshop. It was fun.

Athina Thundrafire

Here is a dragon, Athina. So much fun doing her! : )

Hope Y'all digs!
