  • huh?.. Who?.. hey you kids, git off me lawn!
since some of us are all in the knack of drawing ourselves in a "creature" or otherwise visages, let us see, how good we really all are and compare what talent (or lack of) that we really have and draw (or get someone else that's better than you) yourself as a "creature" personal it can be anything ficticous or otherwise.

i'm working on one myself i'll post it soon..

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Angelfire, so right-click, copy and paste the link.

Yes, I created that myself.  Yes, it was done entirely in a 2D program.  No, its not a render, renders are done using 3D programs.  And yes, I am a fuzzy stuffed duck.

But I'm not blue.  I'm white and yellow, and I'm plushy and fuzzy, with brown shiny plastic eyes.

Tough I suck at hand-drawing (and on most renderings other then planets and space), I do have a "creature challenge" if anyone is interested.

The creature in mind is a Drakhnator; a creature from my fan-fics (and the main enemy in my short story "Horizons End: Edge of Darkness").

Now here's a quote from Edge of Darkness  to give you a basic idea of how a Drakhnator is supposed to look like:

Quote


...They looked like some kind of insects, many times larger then even the largest Felisian!

They had seven arms, consisting of several rotatable and moveable limbs, spread about their body. Each arm (or leg) ended in huge claws, two for each arm; like pincers, but very unlike those of earth-crabs.
They had glowing red, multiple eyes like the insects we know on earth, but each eye where many times larger then those on earth-bugs, and could be turned in any direction, giving a totally 360 degrees POV.
Out from what looked like their heads, where two antenas; not to different from those we see at earth ants and termites (only many times larger).
From their rear was an flexible tentacle that could resemble a tail, ending in a huge, scorpion-like crescent-shaped claw.
Their bodies where covered with glowing red armor, that looked organicly pulsing and living.




Basicly, they look like a huge crossbread between ants and a scorpions, evolved in and for a Zero-G enviroment.
Remember that their mouth is small and crab-like, almost not present at all. This is a completely alien being; not at all humanoid, and very barely recognizable as an insectoid, if you get my drift.


So; if any of you think you are up to the challenge, and have time and will, I can only say: good luck.  :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I play that character online elsewhere, Sandwich. That's where the name "Mikhael" came from. My name is NOT Mikhael or Michael. I'm Louis or Luis (depending on if you're my family or not).
