Arty Antics and Similar Stuff
Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff
Yeah another day with a not particularly inspiring prompt. Took it as a chance to practice a bit of rendering. Got bored with it towards the end though so the details in some areas are much better than others. Wasn't really sure where I was going with the engraved parts and it started to become a bit of a slog without much planning.

I'm going to put today's in spoiler tags, because to gaze upon it's majesty would drive mere human minds to madness, and I would not inflict such a fate without prior warning.

...that last amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the centre of all infinity—the boundless daemon-sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin, monotonous whine of accursed flutes; to which detestable pounding and piping dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic ultimate gods, the blind, voiceless, tenebrous, mindless Other Gods whose soul and messenger is the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.

Missed party conference season by a couple of weeks, but you get the picture.

Damn dude, that's incredible.
Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff
Cheers Chris. Probably the longest I've spent on one of these so far I think, was quite a time consuming one doing all the layers.

The figure looks digital but the background genuinely looks like paint. Amazing.

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff
Almost embarrassed to post mine after that. I just ran out of time today. The idea might have been decent if it hadn't been so rushed.

When you face a terrifying enemy, when the road is rough, and the journey long, you need a faithful companion by your side. (Day 18:) Saddle up your fearsome Gnomish Warhound; Biscuit.
I promise I came up with the idea before I realised I was possibly plagiarising Gronk and Waffles.

Lol I was literally about to ask if he was friends with Waffles

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff
Genuinely, my thought process was thus;
The prompt is "Saddle." That's boring. What could I draw a saddle on? I don't want to draw a horse. What other animal can I draw that I haven't already used for a prompt this year? Dog! Why would you put a saddle on a dog? It has a very small rider! What small humanoid would ride a dog? Gnome! Gnomes are quite twee, what fun juxtaposition could I do? Gnomish Warhound!
I'm just glad I went with labrador and not a dachshund.

Haha, this is very close to my thought process when creating Gronk as well XDRaid wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 8:34 pmGenuinely, my thought process was thus;

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff
Dead simple one today as I'm not expecting to have any time this evening.
Day 19: Plump
At least I'm retraining my brain that I don't need to spend hours on every drawing. Even the 10-15 minutes I spent on this feels like quite a long time considering the end result (Robins have a slightly odd head shape with a heavy brow, I couldn't get it looking right while sticking with the cartoony look I was aiming for).
