Some Fuckin Drawings I Did 10 Years Ago

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

Being that I'm a horror author, much of it is about what you'd expect. But there's also some nice animal drawings later on if you stick it out.

I haven't drawn anything in many years. These are all about a decade old. I've turned my attention totally to writing since then.

This one has a dolphin inspired mouth. Looks sort of like those explodey Flood zombies from the Halo games other than that.

Too lazy to detail the brain.

The sort of drawing you'd find in a teenage metal head's binder.

This one sucks. Part of it's that I had to do it in pen, so I was less confident than I am with pencil or charcoal.

This one's better in terms of detail, but it shows a bad habit I had of contorting drawings so I could fit more onto a page.

Inspire by Quake 4 IIRC. Some sort of repair technician.

This thing's a boss from Metal Slug 3. I put more effort into shading here than usual.

A gorilla in power armor. He also has antelope horns because it's my hot body, I do what I want.

Another ape in power armor. This time Hanuman from the Indian epic, Ramayana. I don't have to justify myself to you.

Some kind of alien. The weapons were based on art supplies.

The concept here was quadrupedal aliens. You don't see many of those in scifi for some reason. It can retract into the battle armor like a turtle shell.

First of the animal sketches, done using photo reference.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you what reference I used for this.

Tree frog. You can see where I erased the foot and redrew it shorter, to fit it on the page.

Elephant, at two different distances. Done using live reference at the Oregon Zoo.

"Video beetle" I came up with for a biomechanics (creature invention) class.

The shell halves are outgrowths of the eyes which evolved to display RGB colored light rather than just perceive it.

This allows it to sample whatever it's crawling on with a cluster of six down-facing eyes, then display that texture on its shell as a sort of optical camoflage.

And now, some robots.

Inspired by 1950s penny scifi rag illustrations.

Concepts for expensive (left) and affordable (right) prosthetic arms.

Mech suit from Quake 4. Still big into ID Software.

An ex. I can't draw humans for shit, but the wings came out nice.

Some manner of fancy hat. I went nuts with the detail and shading on this one.

A rare color piece, abstract, inspired by protozoans.

Goofy shit starts here. This is my rendition of a beatdown I witnessed between a hick and a home depot employee in the parking lot. They weren't really that jacked but it looks cooler this way.

Human in a bear skin. "Gilgabear".

Bear in a human skin. "Beargamesh". Both inspired by the Sumerian epic Gilgamesh. Don't ask me dude, I don't know. I am often a mystery even to myself.

Fresh Diablo 3 material right here!

Lol funny title. Good drawings!

So many different styles! I'm digging the deconstructed skull with the floating eyes and teeth. I like how much humor there is in your art, especially in Beargamesh hahaha.

some are scary some are pretty but all in all very creative drawings

Great work! You are a multi-talented guy

You should keep up the artistry! These are pretty damn good.

Really good drawings, I can barely draw stick men

This is hilarious - thought seriously, your drawings are really well executed and your imagination is wild. In relation to the drawing of the jacked fight - have you ever seen a cartoon called Superjail!? Followed so plz draw more

Yes I have, I love the fluidity of the animation. The Twins are my spirit animal.

You didn't even miss the Hanuman😜....Great work man👍👍👍

You are quiet an artist mate👍

Nice work. Reminds me of the concept drawings for creatures in SciFi movies.

Damn! You're as gifted an artist as you are a writer. It's sad that you have to choose between them. Did you enjoy drawing?

I really really love the metalhead robot. \m/

Eh. It was a way to pass the time. I definitely never had the passion for it that I do for writing. Haha, that's Rockbot. He is a slave only to the rhythm...and any correctly formatted set of instructions written in COBOL.

super dope ,where you from btw?

Oregon.

i wanted to know ,cuz i know where this spot is :)

Oh! I don't live anywhere close to that, it's just a photo I liked.

ok ,i see now ,this is from my country Latvia , in City Liepaja . :) come visit some day

I must you have a creative mind. Although you may want to let a psychiatrist
see where the root of this imagination comes from.

Haha! Are creativity and madness really so far apart? In my book all that separates them is profit. If your madness is profitable, then it's creativity.

i feel ya

Awesome and scary :)

Scary looking creatures!

These are cool. I'd like to see the animal drawings also.

So much detailed structure, love the drawings!

These are pretty good! You've got a wild imagination!
