Dec. 3rd, 2011-- UPDATED CHALLENGES!

THE CRIT BLOG IS BACK AND IN FULL FORCE!

Love creating artwork but you can't find that extra-little push you need to get going? Looking for a community of artists to share your progress with? Want to press your foundations and aesthetic choices to the max?

Look no further! Open Crits is now a WEEKLY DESIGN CHALLENGE that will push you to get back to your foundations to enforce well-rounded drawings. All artists are welcomed, though for now the assignments will be geared more toward animation-themed work.

Totem Pole Critters- Sketch -July Prompt








































I'm sort of imagining these along the lines of the guardians from mulan, the cartoon characters that spring forth from their traditional chinese stone counterparts. Except these spring out from the totem poles. These were specifically inspired by this totem pole: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Totem_Pole_Groombridge.JPG

  1. Haha-- I like where this is heading. I really love the bird, he's quite funny. I imagine him being a bit ornery. I can definitely feel your influences in him. Can't wait to see more!

  2. hmm....I think i'll follow up on him more. I'm going to try desperately hard not to go on a zazu route with him. A nasty main character. Maybe like House...but a bird....hrmmm.....

  3. Hahaha, they all look terrified! If you are going for that side kick role, I think an expression page for each of them would look cool.
    Or even a sketch of all of them in mid-transform from pole to characters.
