NEW TOPIC: DRAW FROM LIFE.

With all the hullabaloo of summer I thought we could keep things open and just draw something from life.
Pick somebody or something around the house and draw it...could be out of the house too. :)

Hope everyone is doing well.

Monster!

Did this one in Photoshop on Livestream tonight (1.5hrs). Seems my computer can't handle HD streaming, so it's a smaller resolution if you want to watch. I'll probably compress it down and re-post it on Youtube later.

Rice's Monster...Doesn't sounds as cool as Frankenstein's Monster.

I created it in Sketchbook Pro (PC)
(We need more monsters)

Hey Game Art Buddies, I'm so excited to share this "Monster" of a project I am doing with you. I just launched a kickstarter to raise funds for a web series that I wrote and directed. It's the biggest game art undertaking I've ever done. Please check out the link and video and show a little support if you can.  I'd super appreciate it if you could help spread the word for me to anyone you know that is into Minecraft.

I'd love to know what you think, in the comments. =D
