Description [::: Bog Beast, monster concept [ORIGINAL] :::]

How could i not call it that? Actually, my scanner has been ... playing up, i almost might not have been able to upload anything until September. Wouldnt that have been DISASTEROUS!?

this guy kinda makes me laugh. I drew him on the way over to Birmingham on Monday, well, started him, i finished him up just now. Isn't he pretty. Kinda ... inspired by an Alien Angler Fish ... or something. I drew some of this on Monday night! with a certain special someone!

I'm still very busy, still don't expect much of a ... bombardment of art, not until September anyway, where thats what it literally will be. I'm a busy man right now, lots of things on

All comments welcome and appreciated! Sorry i dont have much more to say on this

by far, this is your best piece, your confidence in the subject matter comes thru, while most of the others
are well plan, this shows your drafmanship, as well as your style, w/out being restricted, it looks like this one fell straight from brain onto the paper, no questions asked, the lines don't lie, even your enegy can
B felt thru out, congrats...i hope you continue in this direction



growth can only be achieve thru trials & tribulations, they are the markers of this journey

Your creatures never stop amazing me. This beast is fantastic! I love the face design, very cool and scary too. I also like those hands. They look thin and creepy. I wouldn't want something like that to touch me with its slimy fingers For some reason I always check the hands in every drawing. I must be a hand freak...
Interesting lower body design. It reminds me of spiders.. Spiders are nice though!
As always, you have done some outstanding shading work. It makes the creature look lively!

Nice and smooth Well done, Oni! Hopefully your rich imagination never leaves you.

martinhoulden In reply to solid-alcohol [2005-04-10 18:27:38 +0000 UTC]

i dont really see the gigerness! ok, so the head is liek ... slightly banana shaped and ... he has stuff sprouting from his back but then, what monster doesnt!?

when you say "giger-ish" i would assume you meant like, the style in which its drawn?

mikkow [2005-04-10 15:56:01 +0000 UTC]

very creepy looking. I have some reservations about the massive upper body being supposedly carried by a few very, very small legs. Perhaps if the legs were thicker and sturdier looking.

I don't think that I would want to mess with that fella, at least, not without a particle-neutralizer-death-ray gun in my hand!

Another excellent piece, Oni! I love the way that you put down lines and texture. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing more!

very pleasing.......when i saw the title at [FF] "From the depthds of the portal"

I assumed you had put up the picture of ian "THE PRAM" geddis.

Instead we get an unusual twist, a monster concept.

I like it, the face reminds me of the angler fish with all those long fine teeth and lifeless eye.
