Lil' Fun Time

Just one of my lil' creepations, a skelliefly, for your viewing pleasure.  I had fun bringing this lil' guy to life.

Sisters of...

Here are a couple of drawings that I did of the humanoid creepations that inhabit the world inside my head.  Each "Sister," as I refer to them as, represent different aspects of the emotional spectrum.  These are just some quick drawings that I did, using my time constraint again, to try and start furthering the design of these beautiful grrrls.

First Glimpse

The world that was inspired by my initial drawing "Strength," started shaping itself more firmly in my mind.  I wanted to try and paint what I was seeing in my head.  This world where things appear dark & dismal, but in truth are vibrant & full of hope.  A world in which things aren't always as they appear.  This piece was an attempt to capture a glimpse into that world...

Just for reference & for fun, here is the initial sketch/comp for this painting.  As you can see a few tweaks were made here and there during the transition to becoming a painted piece:

Strength from the Past...

I meant to add this sooner as to keep with my goal of updating daily, but right now it seems to be a weekly update.  I guess that's why it's called a "goal" though, so that way you can work up to it!  On to the point...

This past fall I randomly came across a drawing from the past.  I had almost forgotten about "her", until the corner of the paper gently peeked out from amidst a pile of sketches & scrap paper.  I tugged on the corner and out came "Strength".  A simple line drawing that I had very appropriately, though not at the time realizing, titled "Strength" laid before me... 


It brought a smile to my face remembering how much I had loved this character before...how could I have forgotten I wondered?  That didn't matter now as I immediately knew she would serve to be the inspiration for an entirely new world that I would begin creating.  Every creature, or "creepation" as I fondly refer to them as, stem from her.  Almost as if each of these creepations are one of her children & I am simply the hand bringing them into this world for her.  The world that I began to imagine is based on two main principles: symbiotic relationships & things are not always as they seem.  I wrote an entire base storyline for this world which I may post at a later date.  Right now, I just wanted to get the main points across.  Simply put, the malevolent looking are actually quite benevolent beings.
