-Grendol's attempts at drawingsz

[Naze]

I wonder why babies are always the sickest things to look at. Nice ideas you got there though, the skull faced thing on the bottom right is my favouite. Are you using regular black ballpoint pen on those?

Nice texture on the biggest skull in the middle of the 1st drawing. Looks like you got some pencil smudge, not only pen. Good unsettling work as always!

Its all pen. I just recently used 2 separate pens for line art and shading. The pen i am currently using for shadows gives some sort of effect as a pencil will do. Its a pretty good ballpoint pen because it allows me to create extremely light strokes without going back and forth trying to make the pen write.

Nah man, my mind's just fucked up.

 

[-Grendel]

Trying to draw human faces so that monsters aren't the only thing i know to draw.

[Roland]

Really nice but creepy.

 

[-Grendel]

Really nice but creepy.

He's supposed to be creepy 'cos he's paul bearer doing paul bearer things.

 

[GunSlinger]

Daang man. These are amazing!
I'm really curious though, is drawing just a hobby you do for fun or is it your line of work?

just a hobby, something i'll do if i wanna pass up time or if i'm feeling down.

I see. I could really see you to be a concept artist with the quality you've put out.

 

[Duke]

there are amazing! how long does it on avarage take you to draw one?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Reminds me a lot of the original warcraft2 concept art neat!

 

[-Grendel]

thanks!

more practice on portraits.

 

[-Grendel]

some presidential candidate dude here in our country. just thought why not draw him for portrait practice. I have yet to succeed in proportions.

 

[-Grendel]

Just an update on that previous sketch. I should be infracted for triple posting but i dont really care. Im here to showcase my work.

 

[Roland]

Undahtakah!

lol he looks like a badass character from a movie or tv series, not a presidential candidate.

Anyways, you always seem to work directly on the final lines, is that true? I mean, the common way fo drawing is going first with the light sketch lines that build a shape and then you add the details, like the example below:

I find it rather amazing that you (seem to) skip that. Whenever I do it like you do, I tend to do bad proportions.

well he is classified as the most badass presidential candidate here in our country lol

yeah, i find using guidelines somehow as kinda like cheating? lol, im a weird guy but i dunno, its kinda like i wanna learn how to draw portraits without using guidelines. one of the main reasons i am trying hard to practice is that i really wanna get out of my comfort zone which is creature concept. I have yet to try using grid or guidelines when i decide to make a "serious" portrait, one that i intend to give to, for example my best friend or a family member. right now these ones I'm uploading are studies and practices.

anyway, new sketch. went for a more finer and softer hatching on this one.
still pen.

and i kinda cheated on the eyes lol. i placed a very subtle line so that i won't mess up the eye placements.

Monsters! Monsters everywhere!

 

[-Grendel]

i haven't updated this thread in quite a while, so yeah, here are some of the new ones i've created over the months. still 100% ink.

 

[Roland]

That's one Sadistic imagination you got there, But it's quite brilliant.

 

[TheKurt009]

damn awesome as always!

 

[deepstrasz]

So, why do you like creating monstrosities? What's your inspiration, the story behind it all?

 

[-Grendel]

i like creating things that can disturb someone, notice how i don't go for the usual monster designs. i'd rather make you feel uneasy than make you feel scared.

Yeah, but why?

 

[-Grendel]

i dunno, maybe because i'm this guy who always goes outside the box? even in something simple as dota, i'd never go on a weekend without playing a game where i just try silly item builds on a hero. applies the same for sketches, i want something unique as a result

 

[Kyrbi0]

Why was I not subscroobed to this thread?

OH yeah 2spoopy4me

 

[Mr.Goblin]

haha I concur with Roland's comment great job mate I really like how the style the ink gives it as well, reminds me of the Babadouk book it's really nice!

 

[Naze]

Indeed, regular item builds and general recipes on how to play something are so lame! Why are people that boring

Loved your last batch. This one specially made me feel uneasy about it - so you can say you were successful in your intentions then. Nice work!

 

[-Grendel]

thank you guys for the positive feedback, will be updating the thread more often

 

[Kyrbi0]

Models are drawings too, right? Just 3D drawings.
;D

 

[-Grendel]

i guess. models are modelled after a 2d concept so yeah.

new stuff. some corrupted cherubim. i dunno, i suck at making lore stuff really. but for realsies, i just tried to ruin a friend's visioning of a cherubim

 

[Edge45]

Somehow reminds me of Konami - Contra's last alien boss, the one with the lady head and alien skeleton, and also Castlevania's dracula. Damn that baby's creepy

Your drawings are very eerie which I find the least normal things in drawings aside from nudes. (Do you also do body parts mixed with creepy things? )

 

[-Grendel]

(Do you also do body parts mixed with creepy things? )

you mean nude sketches combined along with creepy things? yeah, but rarely. only when i can't really think of a way to make something stand out, i result in doing that.

 

[Roland]

My god, Your drawings making my hair raise everytime I browse on your portfolio. Anyway, I love the Shade-hatching details for the shadows. So as a clean outline of the ballpen, So your drawings are firstly drew on Ballpen instead of a 2B pencil?

 

[-Grendel]

yep. they are 100% ink. so is the shading, no pencils used.

 

[Roland]

yep. they are 100% ink. so is the shading, no pencils used.

I'm guess that your hands has a fuck load of Ink Smudges XP Anyway, Keep up the good work, Buddy!
