Bite Sized Renewed

[Slog Bait]

My previous art threads are incredibly old, outdated, and I honestly believe should not be resurrected any time soon. THEREFORE, I am making a new thread specifically for Oddworld related art that I have done recently that is a far better representation of my work. Kind of.

I've been using Tumblr as a gallery of sorts. It's not the worlds most reliable thing, but I feel a lot more comfortable using that than say... Deviantart.



Of everything, Oddworld's really been helping me understand colour.





And I still can't get a slog's anatomy right.



Just as bad with Vykkers.



Paramites really took the cake though. Something went seriously wrong with this poor guy's everything. I forgot references were a must have for Oddworld when I drew this.



At least I got gabbits down pretty good.

I won't be posting everything, so if you're curious, my blog is http://slogbait.tumblr.com/ and here is the Oddworld tag if that's all you're interested in. (Most of the blog is Homestuck at the moment, sorry to say.)

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK FOR A SECOND TIME.

[DarkHoodness]

They look pretty good - I like how you've made them have so much detail using few brush strokes. Have some rep.

(Oh and welcome back. )

[Crashpunk]

I love the Paramite. Nice job

[LauricGK]

Munch and the Paramite impressed me !
Good job & really nice style ! Rep+ ;-)

We want to see more... ;-p

[Oddey]

I can see what you mean about the anatomy. I love the style though.

[Slog Bait]

Thanks for your input guys.

This isn't actually Oddworld, but it was partially influence by both Oddworld and Parasite Eve, so I felt it appropriate to post in this thread. Once finals are over I'll get back to actually focusing on fanart itself.



I figure if it was actually a creature in Oddworld it would be exceptionally large compared to the current inhabitants, but also incredibly rare because they only breed maybe once a year if even and the young have high mortality rates. Not to mention they're a threat to pretty much anything that lives, so there might be a "shoot on sight" rule in place for them. Maybe they'd live in a tropical climate?

Looks like it's comin' out of someone's bum...

Pretty decent though, I like that you have a relatively distinctive style of art. =)

[LauricGK]

You gave him any name ?

[DarkHoodness]

Reminds me of the Sea Rex concept for MO but then that's a generic-looking creature anyway. Probably why it was canned.

Good work, BTW.

[MeechMunchie]

I like "Bitey".

[Slog Bait]

Thanks for the comments again, you guys! Bitey is an excellent name for that thinger and probably what I'll refer to it by if it ever comes up again in this thread.

Anywho, decided to screw around with colours.



Probably one of my more artistic pieces.

[Varrok]

Great one!

[LauricGK]

Special style, but every special things are always excellent !! Nice !

[Oddey]

I actually really like the way it's been done.

[scipionyx]

I love your style 8D your art is really great!

[Slog Bait]

Just a quick doodle.

Edit:


And another one.

[DarkHoodness]

Aw, that top one looks sweet - Although it's a little contradictory since Sligs apparently beat Slogs to make them all vicious and that.

[Slog Bait]

Nothing to say the slig didn't clock the sloggie immediately afterwards.

Also, even though that's how they "train" them, each slig is still their own individual and their personalities are going to vary. That one might be a bit more respectful and loving of the slogs than some of the other sligs. Who's to say?



My commentary on this was: "Oh hello worm like thing coming out of a wall composition. You are a fun composition to use over and over again when I don’t feel like working on a real background."

[scipionyx]

the things you draw have their own character/personaliy/soul whatever one might call it, it's always cool to see new drawings from you!

[gishygleb]

Incredible...

[Slog Bait]

Speed paint I'm not too fond of. Sorry I've been neglecting OWF again. School is kind of a thing that's cropped up once more.

[Varrok]

But it's only some trees...


...


...wait a minute, there's something hidden there!

[Slog Bait]

Yeah, I wanted to do a speed paint of a landscape and the first thing that came to mind was Paramonia. We only got to kind of see a ground level in the temples, the rest of the environment was all up high either in the treetops or above them. I can't remember a point where we were on solid ground in Paramonia except maybe when we needed to get the password after the bee chase before the temple. You can kind of view it as deep in the middle of the forest somewhere on the ground I guess.



An intense conversation is taking place.

[Hulaabeo]

I throw my arms up like that to! =D

[kapteeni13]

Amazing Art!

[Oddey]

I love the way how the Vykker's arms convey two different emotions. And that Elum is looking really good behind that tree.

[Slog Bait]

Working on another painting. Bitey makes another appearance.



Also, this thing.




E: Oh yeah, I completely forgot to add this part I wanted to where I ask you guys about me possibly making Oddworld fanmusic? I've gotten into music within the last year or so and was really considering it... but the problem is with visual art, it's obvious when something's fanart. With audio, unless I'm sampling or remixing/rearranging an already existing track, it's kind of hard to really classify it as fanmusic... more like something inspired by.

[Varrok]

This thing is cute

[Oddey]

D'aw...

Incidentally, I like the idea of some fan music and would like to hear someone's attempt at it.

[LauricGK]

I agree with Oddey.

Nice art Slog Bait anyway !! Keep up the good work !
