Design-A-Character: Feb Shape Challenge

I decided to try out DeviantArt's group "Design-A-Character" shape challenge for February. I think it's a wonderful exercise to challenge your character design skills. This is what I came up with:

You can download the template and challenge yourself:

Sketches over the past week.

Trying to get back into sketching. Experimented with brushes. 

Sketchdump Mini

Some sketches I made in the past few days.

A little something for Christmas

Well, a little sketch I made for Christmas. I will be sending out the greeting card via email to all my acquaintances by tomorrow.
Sketch made using Copic and Letraset markers. I gotta buy me some more of them!

Band of Mythical creatures

Took a break from work, and doodled these. It really felt good to make some personal artwork. Will add more creatures from time to time maybe!

Lombax

I've been playing Rachete and Clank: A Crack in Time on my PS3 and it is amazing. Here's my take on a Lombax. I don't know what he is repenting though.
Was made using a black pen and a grey copic marker. Effect added in Photoshop.

One more sketchdump

Got free time a few days back, and sketched these.

Sketches

A few sketches I did while passing my time. After watching A Game of Thrones, I have been making a lot of direwolves. I think they are bigger, more scarier versions of wolves.

Copic Sketches.

Doodles made using copic markers. I bought 2 a few months back but never uploaded any sketches I did with them. I bought 2 cool grey shades. The black marker is actually a Promarker. 

Some more practice

Yeah, can never grow tired of sketching horses. No sir.
Sorry for the absence..have a good reason for it. :D

T-rex Sketch

I had sketched this long back and had even made one of my best digital paintings from the sketch. Wanted to make 2 t-rex face off against each other because they were cranky and starved.

Scared

Doggy is very scared of something. What is it?
--
Quick sketch of a random dog. Trying to work on perspective and poses now.

BG-Thumbs

Trying to sketch some thumbnails real quick. They look so crappy..

Mister Lion

Portrait of a anthro lion. Trying to work on greyscale as well as lighting. I also wanted to make him look very gentleman-ly. These are fun exercises to do!

Toph

After reading The Promise: Part 1, I was inspired to make some Toph sketches. Coz she's so awesome.

Voodoo

I was in the mood of sketching a horse and I came across a very appealing design of a demon-horse named Voodoo by a very amazing artist on Deviantart.

I started with a sketch first..


And here is the final image.

As you can see, I changed the pose a little when I started painting the horse. The front legs looked long and weird so I make it like he is trotting. Also, Voodoo is trotting on a puddle of lava.

Arrivederci

A sketch of Ezio from the famous Assassin's Creed series. I finished playing Revelations a few weeks back. I made this using a Sharpie marker on the cardboard box which contains the game CD. It was so plain, it was almost screaming at me to sketch something on it.

Pride

Another sketch I am very proud of! I absolutely adore the gracefulness of a horse. Anyone know any horse riding places in Delhi? I am in a mood to re-join horse riding. I used to ride horses when I was a kid.

Doggy sketches

Sorry for being missing since such a long time...Office life is very hectic. And then, we have 6 days working now. Which totally sucks the life out of you. Anyway, here's a collection of canine sketches I have done while I was gone. Hope you like them!

Some more

Practice. For the girl, i was practicing skin tones and hair. Mostly hair. And Tigers. Different poses. Plan on making some more complex poses. These are some very beautiful creatures!
