Round 15: Ahsoka Tano

The wife and I have been watching season 2 of Star Wars: Clone Wars. I was skeptical at first, but everything is really well done and I've been really enjoying it.

This piece I've been working on here and there for like a month. It is my first attempt at digital painting, and I have realized that I could keep working on it forever. So I am keeping in the spirit of the blog and posting it a little more sketchy.

Stewardess

Here's something I sketched up at work yesterday when I had a few minutes breathing time. You can even see the front of the memo bleeding through. I left some in with careful editing of pertinent information.

Surprise Round 1: Deadpool vs Suprise Round 2: Cable

This thing has been in a half-completed state in my sketchbook for a long time now. In the spirit of the blog, I just said screw it and scribbled a few more lines so here it is, Surprise Round 1 vs Surprise Round 2:

Round Seven: Deities, Sedna

Sedna is an Inuit goddess of the ocean. There are many different legends surrounding her. In one, her father tries to marry her off but she doesn't like any of the suitors. In protest, she marries a dog instead. Her father became so enraged that he tried to throw her into the ocean, but she clung to the sides of his canoe. He then chopped her fingers off one by one, and these fingers became the many animals of the Arctic. She fell to the bottom of the ocean and resides there still. The Inuit shamans have to travel to the bottom of the ocean to comfort her or she won't release any animals for their tribes to hunt. Its a real interesting dichotomy because she can be a goddess of life and death.

This was done in ink and acrylic.

Barbarian Marker Sketch

Here's a marker sketch I worked on off-and-on all day yesterday. I had forgotten how fun markers can be, but I have a limited range of colors, so I couldn't go too crazy. Enjoy!

Giant Gila Monster

Don't try to run. It knows you are there, it can taste your fear with its tongue. Or at least your mild shock as you think, "Is that a really big gila monster?" Say goodbye to your vehicle, because nothing enrages the gila monster more than hot rods driven by cocky young teenagers.

So maybe its not a classic monster, but I felt it deserved to be honored with a poorly rendered sketch, at least.
