Doodles From Nantucket - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
I was in a weird mood this evening, so I decided to relax by watercoloring in a lineart-only Mucha illustration. As per usual, there are a ton of mistakes, but overall, I'm actually quite happy with it. We'll see if I finish coloring it in.
(Also, It's watercolor on some sort of printer-friendly cardstock. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I like coloring on it more than on regular watercolor paper.)
Drawlloween 1 - Ghost
Ft. a picture of a very messy and awkward sketch of a thylacine taken with my phone (sorry)
Drawlloween 2 - Devil(’s advocate)
Drawlloween 3 - Goblin
This is an even messier sketch than the first day’s because I got carried away with the design instead of the drawing itself.
These are the notes i made on the creature:
(ignore the elongated forearm; it’s not nearly so exaggerated)
the idea is that they’re scavangers that live in magic-infested areas (like, magical lakes, sentient trees, swords in stones, etc) and they feed on the bodies of those drawn to the magic or (in the case of humans) deliberately trying to come in contact with it, and get killed along the way
the lioncloth may be partially made out of people skin (they’re resourceful like that)
their feet are a bit more ape-like than ours and their hands are sorta racoony
and they’re marsupials. because.
they’re not ~evil~ (i have trouble with inherently evil species) just sorta gross and repulsive to humans
they eat carrion and generally don’t kill
they don’t get along with people because either a) people see them eating other humans and assumed they killed them or b) are mad at them for desecrating bodies
and though they do use tools, when they eat they just sorta dig in with their hands (unless they’re collecting large chunks in order to store it) which freaks people out as well
they exist all over the world, but in non-overlapping areas which leads to different subspecies in different environments
they play an important in maintaining any magical ecosystem - yay!
Drawlloween 5 - Were Wherewolf
I wanted to do this gory, creepy one, but I was tired, so you all got a bad pun instead. I’m sorry. (Only kinda.)
Ohgod, this looks much better as a small thumbnail. yeesh.
Drawlloween 7 - Haunted house
So, this is a theater and not a house. whatever. it’s a mess, nothing came out anywhere near like it should have and it just looks generally bad, but i kinda like it anyway? that could be the cold talking (the bug finally caught up to me :( ).
ANyway - this guy is a director/writer/actor/movie-maker who died in some small local theater and spends his after-life watching new movies, pointing out all of the mistakes/flaws/weak bits, (inaudibly) yelling at apathetic audience members, and occasionally griping about how they “made movies right in my day” or something to that effect.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room...
Snakes are dumb as shit.
