Pictures eight, yay!
As I've actually done a few vaguely Oddly pictures, I thought I may as well post them... Hm, I seem to be drifting into rather anthropomorhic territory... Oh well.
"Exuberance" A rather merfish sligette, dancing to something random... Well, semi-random (it's not Stepsish/boy-band, I know that much. ;) ) Drawn while listening to Ibiza Anthems (always a source of weirdness).  "I kill you now..." Looks like someone's tipped Ivy's usually sweet temper just over the edge... Maybe it's Rach's pirates; she doesn't have much truck with pirates of any sort, they keep trying to nick her technology... I don't hugely like this one, to be honest, as her anatomy is rather iffy... but look! It has shading! Yay for shading!  And this is a Skrawk; named as such because I tupoed it's filename (Should have been "Squawk" but I had a brainstorm). Somewhat Kleeng-inspired, methinks... ;) (having looked through their site (her? Are you a her? If not I apologise most profusely...) and looked at all the amazingly weird aliens I thought I'd try have a go... Hm. Didn't quite end up weird enough... never mind.) I'm not hugely sure what it is - to compare to an earth-type species, I suppose it'd be a carrion-goose. Some of the plains tribes of mudokons use them as "guard-dogs" - they're noisy, like geese, and shout at pretty much anything that either moves or else they don't recognise...  [plug] (As a sidenote, there's frequent artly updates in Randomness, my PI! site, but as a lot of it's not Odd-related I won't be posting it here... I thought I'd plug it, anyway. Yay for random plugs!) [/plug] |
Nice! I like the dancing Sligette!

Like the pics. No Criticism. Not even Constructive Criticism. I know, I know... My mind's a blank... |
I like the second pic best.
It has a dangerous atmosphere to it. And the rest is good too.:fuzsmile: :fuzsmile: |

http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/jawdrop.gifWow! I bow in your prescence! http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/worship.gif I wish I could draw that well. Maybe someone should start a topic where someone suggests a picture and multiple people draw it in their image. That would be great. I have some ideas, but I can't draw worth squat diddly. Again, that's really good, Teal.

Another few pictures...
This is the menagerie... ;) As I got bored in lectures. I wonder what the lecturer would have said... Oh well, I was sat at the back anyway... Just a random busload of weird creatures. Lalala. Edit: After my bloody stupid eighteen-hundredth attempt at getting this stupid bloody thing to work, using a variety of codes and links and suchlike, it still manages to mangle my URLs into irrecognisability, so sod it. I'll fix it later. B*stard thing. These next few are of "Ballu" - he's an ant-bird (like an anteater, but a bird). He has wings a little like a hoatzin, with claws on the "hand" joints, and long claws for breaking open ant-nests, so he walks on his knuckles to stop them getting damaged. He can fly, but not very well, as his wings are a bit scraggly. His "beak" is just a hollow tube: it has a series of small plates that close the tip so he can use it like a hammer/pick, a little like the way a limpet closes its shell... This was the first draft of a picture of him... His eyes are the right size on this one, on later pictures they got a bit too big...  And in colour... These were the worst coloured pencils in the world ever I was trying to colour this with; horrible scratchy cheap little ones, hence why the colours look so scrappy. Took four hours to colour, as opposed to the usual one or two...  And a couple of bits and pieces about colouration... He folds his wings differently to the average earthly bird - tucks them away under his arm-wing, as that way they're out of the way better.  |
Well! I don't think I've been here for a while!
I've missed out on a lot of things since I've been gone!
I really like the anteater bird, It's very colorful and artistic in style! Love ya art Teal! *praises endlessly* DON't give up your AWSOME skills....! Mudokon101... |
That Ant-Bird looks very real. I'm assuming that the colours are the male's display colours, or is its natural habitat a paint palette? ;) Just kidding, it looks very good...
|
Ehhe, yes, males are gaudy to attract a mate... ;)
Nala and Ballu; Ballu is still a puppy, as his arm-wings are still short. Edit: Grr, the damn thing worked earlier, so why the hell isn't it working now? Oh well, we'll have to go with Angelfire again... http://www.angelfire.com/my/keaalu/odd/images/pencil/unwanted_attention.gif And for those that are interested in the other menagerie pics that wouldn't post last time I tried it, they're now on my Angelfire site.

Interesting... I take it that these Ant-Birds are related to sligs, somehow?

*blinks* For what reason do you draw that conclusion? They're birds, dammit...! And this is just me being silly. :) I don't know what Onyx is looking so narky about, I think he disapproves of the legs. Or the fact that he looks like a warning sign, one of the two... (if it works, which I doubt. If not, you'll have to copy/haste again...) Hm, let's see... picture |

*rolls eyes* I didn't say they both were birds, dimwit. Ballu is the bird, Nala is exactly what she looks like.
Duh. ;) |
Eep, my bad... :S I thought it was a picture of an adult bird and a baby bird...
|
Not hugely oddly, but never mind, as he IS an odd-character...
This is Ihraag (Pronounced EE-ra-ag), he's a cobra-hybrid employed as an assassin, although he was a Gladiator at this point... I'm working at colouring him, at moment, so if I get that done sometime soon...  |
Very, very good. The form, the atmosphere, the essence. Brilliance. Keep it up.
(My new colour.) :D |
ANT-BIRD!
Cool ant_bird I like the picture as well as the whole concept of the ant-bird. Great colloring on the Ant-bird (I realy like that name, Ant-bird it just roles of the toung) And the baby slig with the ant bird is verry cute. Also like your doodle critters nice and wierd just the way i like em.
So in toto. Two thumbes up.:fuzsmile: :fuzgrin: :fuzblink: :fuzwink: |
*my brother sits beside me* Niklas: Ooh, evil chicken. *he walks away*
*shakes head* Well, I like all of 'em. Great work! |
