squidrat/squrat by pseudomanitou

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 21:00:28 -0000

Desktop - 1280x1024. To quote Isaac Asimov: The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny...' Seriously though, humans will never be one with nature ever again - because our ultimate goal as a species is to master our fate. Also, most of the recent discoveries of this century have revealed that nature 'does it best'. So instead, we'll probably try to master nature to achieve that; but no one should try until we've mastered our desires -- so that we don't create anything out of greed.

Predatory Nature by Damalia

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 08:07:30 -0000

This was a painting I did in 2005 for a class assignment. The predator characters are theoretically upper-class ladies and gentlemen in an upper-class club/bar setting, looking aggressive, drinking blood. The message is about how the upper-class preys on and takes advantage of the lower-class (here represented by the prey species icons in the beer taps). I don't usually down-talk my work, but I can see the technical flaws in this now, a year and a half later. That, and it actually photographed horribly. Board, 30" long

...I mean, they only have three eyes between the two of them, and Sparky's are all wonky-like. Not that I don't love them. For our Illustration pet portrait assignment, I did the obvious choice and drew my two Boston Terriers, Sparky and the late Sam, exploring some undefined and unspeakably rugged mountain territory whilst decked out in full Inuit regalia. Props to Reagan Lodge for inspiring this way back when.

Bagheera's Secret by Lyosha

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 22:27:26 -0000

"There is no one in the jungle that knows that I, Bagheera, carry that mark -- the mark of the collar; and yet, Little Brother, I was born among men, and it was among men that my mother died -- in the cages of the King's Palace at Oodeypore. It was because of this that I paid the price for thee at the Council when thou wast a little naked cub. Yes, I too was born among men. I had never seen the jungle. They fed me behind bars from an iron pan till one night I felt that I was Bagheera, the Panther, and no man's plaything, and I broke the silly lock with one blow of my paw, and came away; and because I had learned the ways of men, I became more terrible in the jungle than Shere Khan. Is it not so?" "Yes," said Mowgli; "all the jungle fear Bagheera -- all except Mowgli." --Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book A belated happy birthday to one of my favourite authors.

Son of Spring (color practice) by Loup

Just a quick color practice, nothing grand. Trying to keep a steady pace and motivate myself to color more. This is about as big as the pic gets. I still haven't salvaged the hi-res from my busted harddrive, can't find the inked piece and just used the one I yoinked from my PB. Is it too dark? Can't really tell, on a laptop screen.

Acrylic Green by chlorophyta

Sun, 11 May 2008 01:00:18 -0000

First serious experiment with acrylic. Trying to overcome the hurdles that have kept me from using it as a medium in my work. Many struggles. The values hurt. Don't know how to lighten the background without making it chalky. Even used zinc white to try to keep it from being overpowering. Did manage to get them presentable. Difficulty with the paint. Perhaps I just need to find the right brushes, or maybe the right combination of what kinds of mediums. I used some glazing liquid with more success than water, but it makes the paint transparent. Great for glazing, I'm sure, but for colors that are supposed to be more opaque, it's difficult to control that opacity. How do I keep my brushes from getting so plasticy feeling, the paint from drying too fast to use? I definitely want to start painting on a regular basis. Working in a tiny sketchbook to remind myself that what I'm doing are studies- meant for learning, not as an end in itself.

Many doodles, some are already quite old, but I didn't post any of them in here for as far as I remember. Lots of random pencil and open canvas sketches, and some other things. There are a few non-animal characters in here but since I'm posting this on more sites I used the same file. It's 99% animals though. --------- Link: >>> http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2558/doodlessd8.jpg <<<
