Hey everyone,
This is my entry for this month. I've been away from sketch theatre for a while because I've been participating in other contests. I did this with a set of Faber-Castell markers my wife got for me for Valentine's Day. I did a light pencil sketch and colored it with markers. I haven't colored with markers since I was like 11 so this was fun to try. I hope you like it and good luck to everyone.

I had no idea where I was going with this, (as usual :)) so that explains why it ended up a sort of bat, chicken goat dragon kind of a guy. The man got lost in there somewhere. His knock-knees take the sting out of what could have been quite a frightening dude :)

[monotony]

hey. I don't know how much time I'll have this month so I finished mine early as well. hope you like it. :)

[kirti_Rathod87]

hello

my this month entry

used only 1 regular pencil

[Smarty]

tried to approach it differently, I remembered a film called 13th warrior. It had a pack of beasts who turned out to be a mad feral human clan.

[Dhamael]

Here is the other entry I worked on for this contest.

First time doin' a centaur...loved it. Thanks for lookin'.

[Dhamael]

BTW I really like your approach smarty. Well drawn....the guy's expression seems to be saying he feels pretty ridiculous in that get-up, though! heh.

I also see a little hint of "WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE" in those little feety claws.

[karmagirl]

Hello friends

Probably best viewed upside down in my opinion.

Thanks

[questionmark_man]

things are definately heating up around here..:D

[Rikter62]

This is what I think Batman would look like if he was actually half Bat and half Man. Hope you like it!

[hb02]

You should check out the ManBat episode from the 1992 Batman: The Animated Series.

You will like it. Good job

[Delusive]

Heres my entry

Oink!

[Dhamael]

Love that pig!! I'd like to have seen a less abrupt transition from where you stopped rendering it though....good pencil skill!


As for the multi-entry thing...I plead ignorance....which is no excuse, I know. Over at gnomon, others enter more than once, so I figured the same applied here.

Let the powers that be pick from what I have posted, and discount the other, I guess.

[Delusive]

thanks guys.
yeah i wish i had a bit more time to finish it off this month, life gets in the way as usual, but it was still fun!

[Rikter62]

[Brittany_Poquis]

here's my entry!:] Considering she's an Octobaby, I wanted to give her that weird stare that octopuses have, however maintaining the fact that she's also human and giving her childlike qualities [tentacle on her head]: to suggest she's naive and [the lollipop]: kids dig candy.:D Cute right? ;D

for sportguy
like the spider but i think that you shold make longer the front arms that will give more scarry look anyway its good for a quick sketch

[Homelet]

Hi there, I just dropped an eye on february's theme after several months without visiting the forum and felt like I could post these two sketches...

Ok, I know you don't like people to send more than one sketch... And I know these weren't made especially for the contest... And I also know that the entries should be closed as we're already in march ! But at least they match the theme so it could have been worse ! :D

Seriously, I just send'em for sharing and maybe getting some feedback, so I consider it out of the competition, and know you will too.
Sorry for bothering !

[gaf]

Damn....you guys have some seriously twisted imaginations...i just registered...i am usually on gnomonworkshop...but i love to skecth...so i had to check this site out.

But i only like to draw environments....like cities, jungles, objects etc...not people, animals or characters...i may enter one of these in the future if there ever is a contest on those subjects.

Again some crazy detailed stuff!
