I was staring at my blog banner for awhile thinking of what to draw next until I begin to see/scrye this image drawn here. It really wasn't done on purpose. It just happens. Gotta love it when it works like that.

Treating this as a working file, to be thrown on top of the other working files that needs finishing. Zomg. =S

Creepy and Cute?

Going for a creepy and cute approach to maximise the appeal.

However looking back on it, I think its partly inspired by my dog who earlier in the day woke me up from my sleep by having her leg involuntarily kick me repeatedly. For hours.

Annoy Sketch of the Day!

Original sketch is in red. I edited the final one on Photoshop using mostly the transform tool to stretch/resize various parts with copious amounts of cloning.

Yeah, got back into doing the "Annoys" again! I have to say that this was the most fun I've had drawing in a long time. I enjoyed every minute of the process easily getting into the zone thoroughout. I've been drawing/staring at it up close for 2 hours straight. Still not done with the entire shading process but the pen was sputtering out of ink so that was a sign for me to slow down and take a break. =P

Perhaps it's just getting back to my roots again. Who knows. I want to keep this up every day like the way it was meant to be back then. Hopefully I'll figure out a way to make sure it works daily without falling back to the usual rut and typical slacking.

Some things bug me slightly. The hands and one of the foot really irks me. But I figure I might colour it later and fix the hand/feet from there. Gotta update my deviantart with some fresh paintings. It's been awhile.

I must give credit to an exercise called "The morning pages". It's about writing 3 pages worth of streaming-conscious type of writing which must be done daily. It's from the Artist's Way site, the link can be found here but I must warn you as it's in .PDF format so it might be a long load for some viewers. You can go to this link here instead to get a general idea of it. I usually have the PDF link as my bookmark as that is what I usually go back to reading every now and then to refresh on my objectives. I totally recommend this exercise for anyone who struggles to open up their creative flow. Not only does it open you up creatively, it also teaches you to be less critical with everything.

Ok, so, after I posted earlier I thought about the Snailien thing a bit further and saw that it could be more of a caterpillar type of creature than a slug. I really wanted to get away from the typecast thing this time. It's still sci-fi so they could easily be integrated with that world anyways.

A doodle while waiting for things to cook, about 15-20 minutes or so. My hunger seems to be channelling my muse these days.

I can't tell if that is one creature or two as my thoughts shifted immediately once I drew the head/torso part with the gun. The slug was there as if I had nothing else to go on with. Maybe a "Snailien" tried to merge with it, or come out of there.

Must all slugs of mine become Snaliens? I feel like I'm typecasting them already. =S
