Good AGS Doctor, sir...
I would like to enlarge my toes. Not the penis. Just the toes. Please. Sir. Like Baron's toes.

Night_man, that's totally rumpus of you!

Ivan, good Ivan, let's say that he's the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.

Colours, oh colours. If only I could see them like they really are! I'll tell you this, I'll consider going the Moebius way, although I really wanted to be able to pull this out by myself.

But Keats and Yates are on my side.

Here's my feedback, just a few words to point out the "feeling" I get from each piece. No bad critiques here because it's too soon, sorry Andail. I think that some works are too much sketchy to be criticized. But I will obey the rules and come up with negative aspects when I have a better idea of what to expect from final pieces.

Misj': judging by the way you draw I expect Disney quality stuff here. The way you framed your work is very pleasant as well.

Dactylopus: the white canvas and the overall "snow man" look remind me of Star Wars snow scenes. Please put your monster in a icy cave!

cat: very dynamic "jaws" feel here. It does look sharp even if you only drew some simple lines.

loominous: Artista

Prog Zmax: epic and complex frame, hope you pull it out!

waheela: feels like I'm playing Skyrim! Difficult stuff here but already looking good.

nihilyst: in love with the colours, tones and the size of your setting.

mordalles: a steady hand like yours will produce only but quality.

cerno: Epic! LOTR kind of epic! Go big, do it with no fears!

andail: love the Blade Runner palette. There's nothing wrong with your monster, the way it looks at you is quite scary and then the eyes drop to see people running from him. It works.

selmiak: creepy swamp monster you have there. It takes me to Gollum in the cave/pond scene.

sookiesock: Dungeons & Dragons Book Cover 1988. Classic stuff.

snarky: that's one scary mother. Really like the face, and the perspective of your scene.

I hope I can still be included on the second week and phase of this workshop. I know it is 1am and already Tuesday, but I please ask to be in!
The picture here has a really bad background that just shows that my monster will be in a dungeon.



I also want to say that there's a lot of talent in this workshop and quite some good artists around. Congrats to everyone!

DBoy, that's just Mr.Ponch when wearing his bandanna and Texan hat. All forums have a ICUMA, and Ponch is our ICUMA.
What is a ICUMA you ask?
Internal Curator of Moral Activities, it's like a secret agent of higher moral fibre than most of us.
What makes him better than any of us? Why can't YOU be a ICUMA?
Because he was trained by Pat Morita and Peter Cetera!
What does a ICUMA really do?
ICUMAs appear when moral standards are somehow broken, DBoy.

step 8 - Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others


Right, Nitro got some colours thrown at him. Basic tones assigned and light source as well.
The real work starts now as I want him to be wet and glossy without using any PS effects.
Tail changed position as suggested by the incredible Misj'.
Stay tuned for more on 'How Not To Draw Your Lizard'

Original thread with all updates and great jokes

[Misj':]

Misj':

Miguel, those human reptiles do walk among us. Please ignore my drawing-style...

Thanks for the time you took "reading" my drawing. By the way, your skill is fantastic.
I liked what you did with the tail, it does look better.
I understand what you mean about the scales making Nitro cluttered and hard to "read" but I do love every one of his scales and it becomes less confusing in full size.
Anyway, as I write this lines, me and my wife decided to adopt the lizard and he'll be living with us.

Cerno:
That's one mean looking dude. Cool stuff! But, no. I didn't base my lizard on it or anything else. Just the pictures I showed for reference, specially the one where that dude is making out with a lizard.

Because game developers are cool at the moment.

drawing 7 - Vicar in a Tutu


Okay, Nitro is looking more and more defined into his final state of ugliness.
Next I'll sharpen my pencil and do stuff on Nitro.
Updates will be at least 800 pixels wide from now on as well.
I'm still waiting for the food I was promised.

Original Post with step by step drawings here

I'm having lots of fun with this collective thread Andail. It's really cool to see WIP of several people on the same subject. Selmiak post makes sense as well.

Are those Ingrid Bergman's boobs?
If so, the movie is Red Sonja.

Cerno, check your wing sizes. To lift the dragon up you need bigger ones.

Fascinating stories about my work will be in my memoires, monkey. Sorry.

[1st sketch - basic shape]

Participants get food, right?

I'm in.

**********************************************************************************************************
Okay, some references here:


No, there will be no human-reptile making out! The picture was just too good not to show.

I will be creating a reptile monster, something scaly and wet.
My background, at least for now, is a dungeon where this reptile is chained.

***********************************************************************************************************
1st sketch - basic shape


Here I defined the basic shape for my beautiful monster. Next, I'll correct posture, symmetry and limb sizes.
And yes, all genitals will be covered by fur.

2nd sketch - jumping straight into the action


Low quality scan here, didn't want to wait.
Instead of doing what I said, I jumped into defining some important things first. How the body would be covered with both scales and bone was a big issue to me. I want to make it that some parts are like hardened scales/near bone.
Somehow a hole in the skull looked interesting to me.
I also started defining the right arm better.

3rd sketch - legs makeover


I wasn't happy with the position the monster was crouching and changed it. Still not completely sure.
I'm focusing again on limb sizes.

4th sketch - defining random stuff


Again, I didn't do any of I said I would.
I worked a bit on the right knee, legs and feet. Added fur.
Going to get some final lines straight. Just a few.
***************************************************************************************************************
drawing part 5 - When Harry Eats Sally


This is just a quick update, made him slimmer, added scales and defined some final lines.
Again, against all proper rules of drawing, I went on to add detail although some parts aren't really ready.
I also decided on a name for this guy: Nitro.

******************************************************************************************************************
drawing part 6 - The Largo Embargo


Just kept drawing scales on Nitro. Made some small adjustments on some other parts as well.
I will now leave you with the word: Barabarossa

Last update for week 1. I hope I'm not kicked out of this because I failed to deliver a background in time.
This is just a crappy background that goes to show that Nitro will be in a dungeon.

Thanks Frito. It would be nice to have a place to pour down some beast ugliness! Mods will and we could have a nice workshop about ogres!

Hehehehehe!

Unique is the word. Hope you pull it off and complete it!
