Jerboa. 84/183.

HO SHEET. ANIMALS.

Incisivosaurus. 83/183.

Only a hundred left to go! WOO! I understand now why Jun decided to make this a pixel drawing (check it out ) because it is hard to find good representations. Oh wells! Did my best!

Chiaroscuro style! Sortof. Also drawn by hand, haven't done that in a while. coloured in photomoshop.

Iguana. 82/183.

In honor of Darwin's 203rd birthday, two animals today!
Today's drawing by guest artist Lindsay Deifik . So big thanks to her!

Happy Darwin Day!

Ibex. 81/183.

Done all digitally, with four colours: 0C0E39, BE1414, FF7010, FFD24B. Or in other words, purple, red, orange, and yellow.
Needed a break from the comic. drawing is way quicker than digital painting.

Hyena. 80/183.

And on the 6th day Nick Francel created animals! (again)

read "6th" allegorically.

Humpback Whale. 79/183.

they're still happening.

Horse. 77/183.

Okay this image SUCKS but my camera is like 8 years old and I was having trouble lighting it. Ill update with a better one in the future. It's gunna be at a show called "Zombies Attack Halloween Art Show" at the Koken Art Factory, and I hafto deliver it this weekend (after I get it framed BLEH) so I won't be able to reshoot it.
ANYHOO, its 16"x20", oodelally! Drawn entirely with 01 microns so all the details is hard to get in a picture. Meh.




it's not actually even a horse. omigosh!

The Humpback Anglerfish. 78/183.

pen drawing plus photoshop.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting my horse photographed (it's too big for meh scanner) so hopefully I can get that done properly in the next couple days.

Horned Lizard. 76/183.

'nother all digital one. I added the city cause I wanted to add some new billboards i made up but they were so small i had to make them real detailed....And didn't want to make the whole city the same level of detail. So yeah, billboards are below, but you can barely see them in the actually drawing.
Whatever.




W3rdup!

Hoatzin. 75/183.

Return of the animals!



First all digital painting i've done for the animal project, and maybe the first ALL digital painting i've done period. The only traditional drawing for it I did was for the basic pencil sketch (BELOW) which is not part of the final image but was just used as a jumping off point. yerp.



POW!

Hippopotamus. 74/183.

dat der is a hippo.

Hedgehog. 73b/183.

SO I finished the above linework on saturday. Had some things happen over the past couple days so I didn't get a chance to work on the color for it.

Therefore I decided to overcompensate and spend too much time on the photoshop work. There is definitely more work I could have done but not without investing WAY too much time.
Oh well. It's cuter than the first one at least. ENJOY!



Oh, almost forgot, this is inspired by the Hedgehog's dilemma (as evident by the title). Which, if you don't feel like reading the wikipedia (which you should), is the (fictitious) problem of hedgehogs trying to share heat by being near one another, but can only be so close because of their quills. You know what, it's a lot to describe and I can't do it very well, just read that shit.

Also, i colored alot of this while watching the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens". That show makes me LOL real hard.

Hedgehog. 73a/183.

This is labelled A because I have a sketch for another that I am going to do also. Because i know a number of people will be upset that this isn't cute and hedgehogs are fucking adorable.

I don't think the foam on his mouth turned out as well as i had hoped. oh wells.

Hamster. 72/183.

FUCKING BRUTAL!

hamster skulls are hard to draw. I'm glad I decided to do so many of them.

also, I have a new design on threadless:

give it some votes jah?

And don't forget the other one:


THANKS turkeys.

Hammerhead Shark. 71/183.

So, I was trying to be more loose with my cross hatching, in that i just used it more for texture. Well I don't think it worked too hot, cause it just ended up looking like a shitty high school student's zine drawing, cause all the lines are too loosey goosey. Meh.

Also just drew the head...cause that's the most interesting part? Though I wish I had gone with this prep sketch I did, I kindof like it better.

Overall, kindof a fail.



However, hammerhead sharks are totally crazy. Besides their weirdo heads they are the only sharks to swim in schools and they have itty bitty mouths, compared to their bodies, and as Jun astutely observed, they basically have "Beaker mouths".
Layin' some knowledge on you dumb asses.

Also, don't forget to vote for my shit on threadless.

Hadrosaur. 70/183.

Surprise surprise, super old school cartoony.
Also took a lot of liberties with how this dinosaur actually looks.

Shading those fucking rings was the worst. So I kindof gave up after awhile.
Too much time to make it look right, but not enough benefit in doing that.
Oh well!

ALSO!

DON'T FORGET!

A Futile Journey: Threadless!

Go vote for it on Threadless .
