DS005

2010-03-03T12:55:00.001-08:00

This one was a lot of fun! Yup, I had to do another monster but this one is for the story so I'm getting it done no matter what...

2010-02-26T21:49:00.001-08:00

I know, it needs lots of work! This is from my personal story about underwater miners discovering dangerous monsters! I need to work faster and with better decisions. This one was all digital, the next one I will use a scanned drawing and hopefully it will look better but still have that same brush stroke feel. For some reason when I work with a scanned drawing it comes out wrong...
