[MasterStryke]

let's see ^^

 

[Just_Spectating]

pretty freaky lookin MasterStryke

 

[The_Silent]

Here is a sketch and the current progress of my work...

(I know it don't look very demonic yet, but i'll be working a lot more on it you know.)

 

[ArcticInferno]

totally wip

Reminds me of terminator.

 

[ike_ike]

I'm hoping background doesn't count towards anything, because I seriously need help with them. Finished the main fellow quite a while ago, but cleaning up his outline with a mouse was a nightmare. Fortunately, i r re-tableted.

 

[Dionesiist]

His left (our right) foot should be seen from a more frontal point of view.

 

[MasterStryke]

Reminds me of terminator.

hope you are the only one

 

[FamousPker49]

Masterstryke, The face looks someone took a shit on it which doesn't seem too cool. And also, the plating on her just looks like she is wearing a tight patterned suit rather than actually being made of plating.

 

[MasterStryke]

thanks, how do you think i can improve the plates?


ps: never heard of elastic shells ?

 

[FamousPker49]

More shading on plates to make them seem like some are stacked over each other.

 

[MasterStryke]

i had the same idea too, yeah I'll try it...

but my most sucking problem in the moment is that demonic dust ...

are you trying to copy Yu-Gi-Oh?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

not really. any one could do a bone and muscle combination. he just ended up with a skull and neck combination thats all. who would want to copy ygo anyway

 

[Just_Spectating]

rofl i just thought it was funny how much it reminded me of it even though i havent played yugioh since like elementary school ?

(took me a while to find that picture too..)

 

[communist_orc]

never play yugioh... Pokemon training cards are/were the Sh*t!

 

[The_Silent]

are you trying to copy Yu-Gi-Oh?

Look at the sketch...

I didn't even know that card, lol. Btw my is gonna have no horns and a big eye in the middle...

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

ha. 3 days to go and i finished this one today. no wip because i done the whole thing during school lunch. i never put wip normally anyways.

anyways, it is not meant to be anything. just an abstract concept art. no colour cos i always screw up with colour.



unless i draw sumthing up until the dealine, this is my final entry

if the judges want the original res in case for purpose of judging, please comment or pm

 

[FrIkY]

Pyramidhe@d, your demon reminds me on my Sinroth demon... but it looks good. You should shade the head a bit more.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i just shaded the head as you asked and it turned quite bad. i think i will just leave it be.

 

[Just_Spectating]

how did you draw like that?

 

[bounty hunter2]

I'm hoping background doesn't count towards anything, because I seriously need help with them. Finished the main fellow quite a while ago, but cleaning up his outline with a mouse was a nightmare. Fortunately, i r re-tableted.

No?

+

Yours is good anyway.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

just because it has a brown exoskeleton and walks on 2 leg does not make it a kabutops
i love the backgound by the way

True dat. and if the contest theme is "Demonic" it would be stupid to copy a pocemon concept... Their not very evil, their cute^^

 

[Just_Spectating]

isnt there like a pokemon thats supposed to be ugly?

Uglymon?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

muk is ugly but i loved that pokemon. so was weezing. my 3rd fav pokemon

 

[ike_ike]

Am I the only one who finds that thing bloody terrifying?

Also ... you're also guessing the wrong source of inspiration -.- It was actually supposed to be a zerg, but the arm/shield hybrid is from those fat things in Halo ... but I forget what they're called.

ON TOPIC: My favourite pokemon is Munchlax. So cute :x

 

[bounty hunter2]

Oh well, I collected the cards years ago, and your guy reminded me of this asap.

 

[Kimbo]

Here is my final submission that I rushed, sorry.
Made in Photoshop and OpenCanvas.
A disfigured and twisted demonic dragon holding a juicy and beautiful apple to represent the contrast between ugliness and beauty.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

the finish looks very professional. then again, you pretty much are a professional ^_^

 

[UnholyDobry]

I made some minor changes to my pic, doesnt look much better but after seeing Kimberlys work mine chances are limited anyway, I hope my originality gives me an edge. Oh yea for next contest im getting myself a scaner!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

yep, i wont be able to finish the digital color in time sorry...

so Keep my Ink hand drawing DEMORGE instead.. thanks

good luck everyone.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Introducing... the Grey Hound!

Well, here's my WIP, as per contest rules...

This lil' buddy of mine has been ravaging my mind for, I think, months now.
He actually came in a dream, of all places!

Anyways, introducing the Grey Hound!
...or, atleast, his WIP portrait.
more to come soon.-_-

-around 4 hours later -

Alright, I made some progress tonight!

If anyone could give their thoughts about this, I'd be ever thankful.
Other then that, if I can no longer work on this picture, this would be the finished product!

Lore

" The Grey Hound finds the people whos'e souls bear the mark of the hunter. Whomever has such a soul, though kept in control by the years of condtitioning the victim had during his childhood and by his actual physical form, clearly not made for rending flesh with ease, are natural predators.

The Grey Hound, over the centuries, has abducted thousands of innocents from their very home and world into his own, where he would rend the very flesh and bone off the poor victim, releasing his spirit into the twisted, ghost-filled lands that is the Den of the Grey Hound.

Over a course of time, the now bodyless spirit, ripped from the natural cycle of life, takes on a slow, but steady transformation into the beast it really is. Animalistic instincts cick in, and, nudged slightly by some dark influence the Grey Hounds' realm has, the soul become more and more like a finley sharpened blade: quick, dangerous, and highly agressive. It is when this metamorphisis has completed when the Grey Hound takes the, now savage, spirit, and molds the remains of said ghost into a now more fitting form.

These so called Spirit Ravagers, huge mutated lupine figures, with glowing blue eyes, are then released back into a world, to wreak mayhem and havoc, and to be part of the Great Hunt.

The Grey Hound doesnt find his tinkering evil. From his point of view, he's just releasing a fellow spirit from the fleshy chains keeping it imprisoned.

Spirit Ravagers are rare and highly valuable familiars to necromancers, if the beast can be subdued and the seemingly lost humanity can be reinforced again. They usually take any order from the person who "released" them, but look for every opportunity to fight: In their case of death, their souls would once again be returned to the cycle, cleansed from their memories. However, as belief says it, if one would commit suicide, his/her soul would turn back into the beast it became, and, with no physical body to control, would haunt the world forever more, until it has been forcibly pushed back into the cycle by a priest or necromancer skilled in the art of Exorsism."

The image depicts the Grey Hound in his plain of existance, just returning from a scouting trip.

[Edit: That guy below me has a point. Posts Merged.]

 

[UnholyDobry]

i dont have much expiriance with digital art but i think u need a lot of shadeing, and dont double post.

 

[Nudl9]

Working on new concept for the contest:

 

[Just_Spectating]

oh man that reminds me of like starwars + Men in Black.

 

[graystuff111]

lul, I just found out about this
I want in!!!!!

 

[Just_Spectating]

why is everybody so good at this

 

[graystuff111]

I don't know wether I am going to be able to work on it any more, so I might as well upload it now as it is. As you can see, I didn't start the legs thumbs_down.

And on the loin cloth are runes, and some chinese charicters XD

 

[matyko]

Well, here's my updated picture...

I tried adding a bit more shading to Hound, and slightly changed the backround.

Meh, I might just redo the whole thing, if it doesnt meet the standars of the contest

 

[Just_Spectating]

looks more like a horse.

 

[Paku]

Working on new concept for the contest:

Looks like a tall troglodyte from heroes of might and magic 3. Well to me.

 

[communist_orc]

Made in Photoshop and OpenCanvas.

Why did u use both?,in which areas is opencanvas better? (im amazed at ur skillz and want to know your secrets^^)

@ graystuff: And a new contestant has just entered the ring! No but seriously, your deamon looks sweet!

 

[-Berz-]

I just feel more comfortable with OC for sketching but it has terrible brush and stroke settings.
I used photoshop for brushes and the fact i need to use it for classes at uni, so i need practice.

 

[ArcticInferno]

Bah I ran out of time so I guess I will enter these instead.


Everything at my gallery thread(I do not know why it is closed)

Done in pen, markers and pencil

 

[matyko]

I..dont think you can submit earliers works, Arctic, sorry :S

" - The art piece must be a newly created work started after the contest begins. Old work is NOT allowed."

Awesome pics, though!

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

looks awesome but i agree. you did have to make a new one.

why is the thread closed?
i will just comment here.
you should really invest in a scanner. using camera doesnt do your drawing skills justice cos those drawings are really awesome

 

[ArcticInferno]

Oh noes!! Ah hell next time then

Okay thanks for the suggestion

I do use a scanner sometimes, but it's over at my relatives' place.

Edit

I churned one out quickly.

It's a demon made of shadows and the presence of fear.

Done in pen and edited in photoshop, "Liquify" tool.

well its new and i've never posted it before!
