Rhino sketches!

That awkward moment when a 5 minute warmup becomes a 40 minute rendering. Also, Cactus Fairies. <3
Hey look, desert elves! And Mr. Langsley Crebniss, my favorite mug. <3
I literally don’t have words for how much I love snails. <3
Dodgy looking hermit crabs.
Today I did one of BrotherBaston's "concept challenges". The prompt was to draw the interior of the Chamber of the 9th Fist. I designed characters too. :P Here's my concept: These monks learn to make themselves (and/or their limbs) immaterial. They can fight literally without getting touched. They wear a necklace sporting how many of the 8 total challenges they've accomplished in their training. The challenge of the Singing Fist is this. 1) To punch all 9 panels of the Corporeal Mirror at once, which they can do by multiplying their spirit-fists, and 2) to cause all 8 foundation pillars to shake without bothering the reeds or letting the water ripple. Those have to stay completely still. The student who accomplishes this has obtained both complete mastery of their immaterial form and total control over their strength & will.
A man and a cactus. The danz!! Faces are hard. 1 minute is NOT long enough!!
More faces. My longterm goal is to develop a solid "shorthand" technique, in which I can articulate the features of the face using a bare minimum amount of lines. It requires a pretty honed understanding of bone structure, skin texture and (most importantly) lighting.
....we're getting there. =/

freehand faces, no warmups. =/ We’re getting there!!
WHAT is all that hair even doing!?
Design Concept challenge! This time it’s a group activity. Concept: The being they unearthed is a primordial deity. It "beckoned" the nearest civilization to delve into the planet's crust, offering the light of knowledge and advancement. Once they freed the deity, it flooded the world and transformed all of it's followers into pseudo-plantoid beings, who need light to live. The being feeds on the psyche; those waves which brains and living things emit while they're thinking and feeling, as if it were a type of light. The more creatures it can transform and control, the more eminent it becomes. It expands and expands until it controls the entire planet, and possibly beyond... It has a cloaked "Sage", who holds the "light of knowledge". This part of the creature is usually the one people interact with in dreams, visions, and even in person. The bulk if it's horrifying body stays hidden in the abyss, below the light.
Red Carpet looks. Who wore it better? >_>’
More faces. I left the anger lines in this one.
Noses day 2!! WOOP WOOP
Can’t stop with these noses. I think I’ve cracked the code.
