Frost

I was going to post Severard and Frost together but Frost looked.... terrible. But at work I had some time so I did a Frost that suddenly worked. So... Severard will be posted soon I hope. In the meantime here's Frost. I'm trying to emulate my friend May's very graphic style. Severard is in a totally different style anyways.

Shanka!

A quick drawing of a the Shanka while waiting for scenes. The thing I remember most in the descriptions of them (When we eventually got one two books in) was that they had wide flat heads, long hairy arms and teeth so deformed their lips couldn't close over them. I guess long hairy arms doesn't necessarily mean long hair on their arms but I had kind of pictured them as a feral orcy orangutang race. I would have drawn the arm hair way long but it looks weird when I do that.

Scuttler

This dungeon dwelling creep was drawn while I was trying to come up with a design for a torturer. I was watching The Pit and the Pendulum at the time. Then there were legs everywhere and... teeth... and... yeah I dunno what happened.

Oh and I realize the name "Scuttle" is already taken but this is a different kind of scuttle. Less ship-sinking more multi-legged lurking. And it's Scuttle*R* so it's totally different. YOU HEAR ME DISNEY? TOTALLY DIFFERENT! Plus they also hogged the name "Creeper." Jerks.

The Banshee!

Look out, Darby O'Gill!

Goodness it's mid September. The Season is upon us! Ladies and Gentlemen, start your glueguns.

Insomnia drawing.

Drawing WAY too late at night listening to Simon Schama talk about the Plantagenets.

Some Wests

Gillen beat me to the first post. Honestly I don't remember any of Collum West's defining characteristics but I always kind of saw him as the simple-looking farmboy type with a very honest face. The kind of guy who can be everyone's friend because there's no hating someone who's basically a really good person. I figured he always looked at least a little confused or frustrated. And people read that confusion and frustration as meaning "I don't understand the situation." But really it means "I can't believe you DON'T understand the situation.

I'd work more on these and colour them but my damn Cintiq's at work. So no colour for you.

Back from Winnipeg

I'm back!

*confetti*

Been playing with different types of watercolour paper for a project. The hot press scans much better than the stuff I used to use. Most of these drawings are from the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature. Except for the ones that aren't.
