Chades Challenge XVIII: Hostile Troll
My troll is s sea-side cliff-dweller that rides a mutated coconut crab. That's pretty hostile. The drawing lacks clarity due to the dense line mileage and lack of color or tone. Anyone want to do a color pass on this baby? I'll post all of the applicants!
I could do another week of these! Anyone else got any?

More hostile trolls:
Leo Matsuda
Josh Billings

Thrain, a viking jarl

Chades Challenge XVIII: HOSTILE TROLLS

I think Nate and I were both thinking Halloweeny with our noun and adjective. Should be fun! Let's see who can draw the most malevolent, mindless, slobbering, hostile troll imaginable. Sketch greatly!

Monster Mash Part II
Too lazy to draw a body? Draw a cloak!

Monster Mash Part I
It's always fun to draw monsters, but Halloween sets the atmosphere particularly well. Looking for vampire reference, I stumbled upon this eerie little fellow. The critter's an aye aye,the world's largest nocturnal primate (unless, of course, you count the animator). I think the real thing's still more caricatured than my design!

CHADES CHALLENGE XVII: Loopy Gangsters


Next week: more loopy gangsters!

CHADES CHALLENGE XVII: LOOPY GANGSTERS

Nerd Fan-Art
I've been talking with friends about how great it would be to see a run of X-Men comics set when the series began in 1963, focusing on the assassination of JFK and the whole civil rights movement seen through the allegory of mutants like the X-Men. We figured a great villain for the first story arch would be Nimrod, a precursor to the Sentinels. It's a cool challenge, trying to get that 60s robot feel, while keeping him fairly scary looking. To re-cap: my last two posts have been about Dungeons and Dragons and the X-Men.

A general rule of thumb when playing a halfling...stay out of rat pits.

Movin' on UP
Soaring gas prices and a lousy housing market are even effecting animated characters. Looks like Carl Fredricksen just found a cheaper form of transit and a way to improve his real estate!
