Yay! I did something!

I actually have names for all these guys. They came to visit when I had a blank page. Which was nice because nobody was visiting me before. And they brought cake!

The scanner did a massive number on this, I had to texture the illegitimates out of this one to make it work. Still.
Moar to come. Maybe.

Traditional Pen and Indian Ink
Photoshop textures and colour.

I love all of them, although I think my favourite may be the boar like creature at the top! You have perfected this stylisation and presented it in a beautiful composition with soft textures. An instant fav for me.

He's the Siberian Babirusa.

Thanks! I like these guys best because they do not ask me to do anything except to put them down on paper, especially since I have been having trouble with art block.

I guess I have similar art blocks that are usually cured by bringing some strange creatures into being.

God, I love that graphic twisty style you've got going here.

<3 the turtle, but I have to say, my favorite part of this is the monkey's tail.

Awesome work, Salamander! Great style. Sort of reminds me of something the folks at Imaginism [link] would do.

Those guys are great! I get their stuff in my watchbox all the time.

Thanks Moai, I'm thinking of doing some studies of them now :)

For all the fact they are monsters they are quite non-threatening.

That's gorgeous! Cute, weird, subtly spooky - something like cave paintings and monster art mixed together. It kinda reminds me of M. C. Escher's mosaics, where various weird critters are fitted together into one space.
