Ansleigh Callacinea

Another digital portrait / plant study. Model is Ansliegh, and the plant is part Calla Lily and part Pitcher Plant (Sarracinea)

After looking at this I had a couple other ideas of what to do with the image.

My favorite part of the whole thing was the ear, so I wanted it to stand out a bit more:

Here it is with a bird overlaid onto it.

Digi-Doodles

I used to doodle on post it notes when I had a few minutes to kill at work.
Nowadays I find myself digi-doodling on the computer. Here's a few of them.

"Green Squeeze" was a product idea that a customer had me designing logos for but it never ended up going anywhere. Which is tragic to me since that is such a cool name.  So I doodled up some CD covers for it and if I'm ever in another band it will be called Green Squeeze.

10-Fingers Mallman

10 fingers Mallman they call him. Legend says he drives a car built entirely of pencils - single handedly. Everyone wants to shake his hand, but he prefers the double high five. When asked about his eyebrow mohawk, he just holds up an eyeliner pencil.


Who wants to get fingered by the ten fingered man?

...this drawing was inspired by the drawings of my cousin Brian Mallman, except I went anti-pencil and finished it on the computer using a fake digital pencil. 

Secret Agent Woman

Did this digital sketch of Steph last night before going to bed. She had that secret agent look goin on.

Ween and a six pack

My friend had time to sit for another painting last weekend. Posing for a painting can be a dull and grueling ordeal, but she brought along a six pack to enjoy while we listened to several Ween albums, so the afternoon flew by as we chatted and I worked on the painting.

Figurehead

Another active pose with a fully engaged sartorius.  Model was Lola.

Here is the sketchbook page where it started.

Tube Creatures

So to delve even deeper into the Omnibiotic Spontaneous Lifeform Generator that I drew a few posts ago, I was wondering how that creature might break apart into smaller componenets, starting with the head.  So these are a couple of the tubeworm type creatures that can separate off the main body into smaller creatures.

I also like to think of this as an Album cover for a record that has no music. You look at it, and whatever you imagine the music to be in your mind, then that's what it is.

And in other tube creature news, this alien was recently discovered. We presume it originated from the Pleasure Planet.
