Guardian

This was for a creature of the week entry on conceptart.org - the title was "Guardian of the Portal Gate". Here was my concept:

Legends tell of a portal to paradise somewhere in the depths of the desert. This portal is not a stone gateway or a door, but a pair of dead trees perched on the edge of a cliff face – it is said that those with faith and courage can step through this natural gateway to paradise, but those who fear and doubt will plummet into the rocky sea below. Seekers of the portal speak of its guardian, a strange creature of unworldly and terrifying beauty that fixes you in its gaze and fills you with an overwhelming fear that sends you running and crawling away back into the sweltering desert.

spare any change?

Another one.

D is for Dragon

This was a tiny biro doodle, maybe 4 by 4cms scanned and coloured in photoshop. I got the weathered texture from here. I'm not quite done with it, needs a bit of tidying around the edges and I'd like to lighten the sky background so the dragon stands out a bit more. I'll update it sometime.

Could be part of a series, we'll see how it goes!

Another creature doodle coloured. Just a quickie.

Coloured the llama-like creature.

various monsters and creatures

These are some doodles I did during a shoot (another set build, less to do on the shooting day so spent some time doodling). Various monsters and creatures.

Coloured a doodle done at the natural history museum. Reasonably pleased with the results but it took me way too long (I'd say about 20 mins).
