Kaylon, that's a lovely drawing... I shall be looking out for you like that next time I'm in Dundee :)

Funny thing is...all i did was stand in a towel and look in the mirror and and drew what I saw :P ... so you can't miss me huh :) ...

If you can spot me from that pip in Dundee, I'll buy ya dinner hahaha ...

[AmyScott-Murray]

whose snakes are cute and well-behaved.

Squibbit, yours is the scariest yet imo :)

Brutal Monk, I've only just seen yours now, please don't think I've ripped off your silhouette style. It was just to be quick on my part because I spent so long finishing off my secret lovers from yesterday.....

Anyway, this is how I feel first thing in the morning - tentaculate, grumpy and badly proportioned.

Photoshop, bout an hour.

The Paperdoll

She is light nor dark,
She is beginning nor end,
She is life nor death,
What she is - is unknown:
As all who have dreamt about her

Are gone.

Well, I'm more of a 'he' in real life, but since I'm working on this game I drew what I would find terrifying. I'm getting there, this image spooks me out. About an hour in Photoshop.

[AmyScott-Murray]

Erilaz - I really like how you've done the background on yours. It's probably really obvious to the less nooblike among us, but would you care to enlighten me? :)

[Vyse-soa]

@amy
rofl, great idea =P


about an hour...
I know, its not a really great idea, but my other concept was just to hard to do, so i gave up and did something more simple.

Painter IX about 1 hour... if I was a monster, then I'll look like a cute average monster. Everybody want to be huge and awesome, I just wanted to be average and cute looking one...

I would like be something like this: BIG, RED and SCARY MONSTER! :D

[LoTekK]

Parrot: that is Freaky!
Brutal Monk: nice one. May be a cast shadow to ground him a little better.
Dreammaster: nice one :)
Amy: Nice job with that one. If I might take a crack at guessing, it looks like Erilaz grabbed the lasso tool and scribbled randomly, then filled or adjusted the HSV. Looks similar to an activity done on Sijun some yeas back.

[djtrousdale]

Here's me... How predictable :D

I'm very unsatisfied with colours/light this time. If anybody has some ideas...? Thanks.

Good stuff, eveyone. We're such a lovely gang of mosters.

creature!

[Miyagu]

squibbit: thanks! :bounce:

Zeitwolf: don´t worry about the colors! i think they are somehow unusual - which makes them interesting.. (me thinks) :thumbsup:

-Brittany-: lovely hair on the harpy!

[LoTekK]

Dunkelgold: Nice job, as always. Great atmosphere. :)
Brittany: That looks awesome. Very... Can't really describe it, but it's very creepy. :thumbsup:

If I were a monster, I'd be sorta like the cookie monster, only I'd be hording the Marlboros. :p

OMG, a cookie monster has transfigured into a smoking monster! :o What happened to him!? :eek:

[mybutterflyiris]

I think it's great how many different solutions people are comming up with. Good creativity, everyone! :thumbsup:

[doomdragon]

Thx dunkelgold & enialadam

Some really nice sketches here, as usual. :)

[GauntMan]

~75 minutes; OpenCanvas/GIMP and Wacom tablet

A quick skeletal sketch.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/gauntman/sketch/sketch442.jpg

augustus - nice work on the clothing, very elegant

doomdragon - excellent concept and a fun costume design. I wish I had thought of that...

LoTekK - very funny, shaggy hair is well done, but I think cookie monster had fingers(?). Very muppet-like eyebrows!

yAdam - Not sure if the blood would drop off the fangs like that (unless the fangs are more like tusks). good eyes, and wrinkle on the bridge of nose.

Gord MacDonald - layers upon layers upon layers; Initial glance seems simple, but a second look reveals a lot of detail in the face.

[Gord-MacDonald]

Good work everyone!

DunkelGold and Brittany - I see a couple of major contenders for SOTW - beautiful work!

~75 minutes; OpenCanvas/GIMP and Wacom tablet
Gord MacDonald - layers upon layers upon layers; Initial glance seems simple, but a second look reveals a lot of detail in the face.

That was very simple. It's all in the brush (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=200222)!!

Goro's brushes for photoshop have some very nice simple effects in them. Brushes themselves are quite easy to make, but I happen to like his. :D

[HellBoy]

ok, heres mine

PS + Mouse = 30min MAX

[Martin_B]

There is some really nice pictures in here. I like agustus second one very much. But no one is more funny then doomdragon..

here is mine. He thought i should try to paint a self portrait. Didn't went that well with similarity.

WHat would I look like seeing the scrawny, bipedal infliction called Dracula walking by on the ground on my yearly maiden scavenge. :rolleyes: 50 minutes painter IX. :)

edit: forgot to mention this is 'the Pledge 2/7' I did it under an hour too, do I get bonus for that.

-painted in Photoshop Elements, not really sure how long it took-- I didn't work on it continuously.

Wow, what a great topic. Here is mine. I wanted to do more with the background and lighting but no time:sad: . Great sketches everyone!

PS, 40min, Wacom.

I was going to make some animal-ish but decided to go a totally different way.

A troll.. ogre.. thing :) PS, 10 min sketch and 1.5 hours in PS

[electricsketchbook]

Nice work all. I really like Kaylon's, Noiram's, Rawwad's, and dunkelgold's, but all have something cool about them.

I missed yesterday due to family stuff so I guess I am out of the Pledge but I still hope it is fine to post with you all.

I love those happy accidents. I was an hour into this and accidentally put down a slash of red when I thought I had green. I was about to hit UNDO when I thought to myself "hhmmmmmm..."

So about two hours later I had this. If this is me as a monster I need some serious help :sad:

Painter 9; about 3 hours.

Took 1 hour 15 min, Photoshop. I'm not nearly cool enough to be a ring wraith/reaper kinda monster, but it was still fun to draw. :D

Edit: Oh yeah, forgot to say Pledge 2/7

[LoTekK]

DoomDragon: LOL! :applause:
11th Door: Freaky! :argh:

How would I look if I was a monster.. and what would I probably do.
Enough of people being scared me as a monster would probably lead to only this one choice. :p

Pledge 2/7 ... hmmm

[Imagus]

A slightly different take on the subject... how I would look if I was a monster:

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a268/Imagus/DailySketch/442-IfIWasAMonster.jpg
(don't mind the fingers. Eesh... :p)

Medium: pencil on sketch pad, with final touches (sky and mountain color) added in Photoshop. Original Size: 9" X ~11" (scanned in at 8.5" X 11")

Drawing: ~1 hour
Photoshop: ~15 minutes
Total: ~1 hour, 15 minutes

Of course, I couldn't resist adding to the play-on-words and giving the monster a single "eye"... ;) Plus... did anyone catch the hidden phrase? :deal:

PLEDGE 2/7 (though it was actually the first one I finished. :D)

P.S. - First Daily Sketch post. :)

[Erikoinen]

Imagus, welcome! Nice first one.

"I'M FEAR"? What's that supposed to mean? :)

[Imagus]

Imagus, welcome! Nice first one.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)

I'm glad that the original concept came out the way I pictured it on paper. Maybe even a little more so... that's one freaky-looking member of the alphabet! :D

Alphabet-based horror is a severely under-emphasized device in art, don't you think? ;)

"I'M FEAR"? What's that supposed to mean? :)It could be "I'M FEAR" or "I AM FEAR". (The latter was what I had in mind... I + M + FEAR)

Now picture a deep-voiced, evil demonic giant shouting it...

"I... AM... FEAR!"

...

All right, all right... it's cheesy. But I couldn't resist. :p I was originally just going to have the letters "F E A R" running away in... well, themselves, but I decided at the last second to put in a devoured letter, and "M" seemed the logical choice.

Thanks for the comments. :thumbsup: And a "good job" to you as well... love the skin texture on your monster. Keep up the good work!
