Crustacean God

God of fresh water crustaceans and love.

Skelly Flowers

Disgusting and cute.

Late I heart you image

With a voice like Barry White and the eating habits of Hannibal Lecter, Uncle Valentine is a very dangerous guy to have a around, but he makes a good baby sitter.

New Topic: GODS OF NATURE

Both general (e.g. god of fire) and specific (e.g. goddess of small, furry rodents) are acceptable. Enjoy!

Optional design principle: Balance
I was going to find definitions and examples of good balance, but there are way too many ways to achieve it to explain them all. But here's one way to achieve balance, compositionally speaking. That should make things easy for those who don't want to explore more.

The Happiest Dog

This is the happiest dog ever. He's pretty cute.

Ultimate cute

I am in this topic to win it. I sat down and thought "What would be the cutest thing in the world?" This is the product of hours of research into "cute". I defy anyone to show me a cuter creature. A cat face, with poodle hair, floppy bunny ears, a baby harp seal arm, a baby monkey arm(think of all the cute things monkeys do), a lamb foot, a duckling foot, and a mouse tail, all dressed up in a bumble bee outfit. Show me a person who's heart doesn't melt and I will show you a monster.

Check mate. New topic please.

Valentine's Bunnies

Like Kevin, I'm a little disturbed by how much I enjoyed drawing and painting this.

The Injured Puppy

Bug n' a Rug

I dare say there is nothing cuter...at least in accordance to my grandma's jargon. She gets her sayings mixed up.

QT

Oh James!

Easily my favorite character from the movie. Nothing can best a lady in a bikini, riding bareback, on a white horse, on the beach, being playfully chased by indigenous children. I figure this is both too cute and Valentines oriented. It also finishes off my Bond stint.

Late villain

A talking toad and an evil hag...with facial hair.

My villain...and hero.

Captain ?

I never got to do a Pirate back in the day when everyone else was doing one, so here's my pirate villain.

New Topic: I HEART U/TOO CUTE FOR COMFORT

This is a double topic, just to give people a little freedom. With Valentines Day coming up, I thought a topic appropriate to the holiday was in order---so anything having to do with love or Valentine's day is good.
However, for those not faint-of-heart, I add the challenge of "Too cute for comfort." You've all seen things that are so cute that they make you want to gag, right? Well, time to try your own hand at making something so cute and happy that goths everywhere will run in fear. I think something that is both unbearably cute AND well-designed will have a particularly strong effect on the masses. Have fun!

No design challenge this time since the topic itself should be challenging enough.

Jakk Frostt

Part villain/part heavy metal hero.

Vladeska Krakovitch

...in his volcano fortress playing his favorite game (Katamari Damacy).

Curse of Zumtar Claims Island Tourist

Another Floating Head Painting

But he is a villain all the same

C4 -the great equalizer

He only appears harmless.

"Bowling Hall Bandit"

This is the not so Infamous "Bowling Hall Bandit"

His trademark qualities are:

1) Blatent disregard for bowling hall etiquite.

2) Persistent wearing of non-league uniforms.

3) General hooliganry.

Eagerly Awaiting His Shadow

Round is a line of action, isn't it?

I never think too much of it when this guy calls for an early spring, but each year that he predicts more winter, I'm convinced that he's pure evil. And this winter has seemed so long, that I think any prediction of more winter is straight up villainy.

Ancient Persian Magician Discovered in Persepolis

Archaeologists were surprised to find the frieze of an ancient, dreaded sorcerer amongst the ruins of the Persepolis, Iran. His name is unknown, and researchers estimate that he lived during the rule of Darius circa 400 BC, tormenting the Achaemenian Emperor and causing unexplainable, confusing phenomena to occur. Whether or not this mysterious priest is actually buried within the Persepolis has yet to be determined.

A villain? well I'm way off.

I didn't exactly stay on topic. It started out as a villian I swear! But somewhere along the way it turned into Captain America from ww2.

Let the Girl Go, Let's Talk This Through

Black Bear of the West

It's been a while since I posted something on here... so here's my villain.

Quick Villain

I forgot to use line of action (I guess this one is vertical?), so maybe I'll do another one next week.

New Topic: VILLAIN

Male or female villain, all interpretations are acceptable.

I think the design exercise was a bit much (and maybe coupled with the wrong topic) last time, so this time let's just focus on one element of it: Line of action.
Have fun!

Zumtar's Curse

Once the most tightly woven of friendships, the two square off in the hopes to plunge their blades in to where the wizened man's curse had already pierced. A lifetime of child's play with clashing sticks left them with an almost primeval awareness of the other, and instinctually they could not gull one another. Indeed, the darkest fortune was that there were none left to give audience, for a duel was drawing near that could only give birth to legend.

MY "CURSE OF ZUMTAR"

It is finally finished! After months of sporadic, touch-and-go work, this curse of mine is finally done and I am glad.

Feel free to rip apart--

Touch not the graven image, for in it lies the curse of ZUMTAR.

Yeah, I'm not willing to put anymore work into improving this one. It's a chicken, after all.

The Evil Al Kadar Del Bazaar and the Gold Tooth of Zumtar

In 621 B.C. lived an old man named Zumtar who had but one tooth, a gold magic tooth to be more exact. This magical tooth gave him the ability to transform whatever he looked at into gold by simply lifting his upper lip and blinking an eye.



When the Evil Al Kadar Del Bazaar heard of the tooth, he quickly murdered the old man and took the tooth for himself.
Everything was fine in the new unhealthy, over-wealthy life of Al Kadar Del Bazaar until …

CLICK HERE to see what happened to him.

Zumtar's true curse

Your both wrong. I thought it was obvious that the eternal curse of Zumtar's existence has always been his opinionated and aggressive mother-in-law.

Zumtar Frieze

I imagined Zumtar being Tlaloc's rebellious younger brother, who listened to more KISS albums.

Cursed Golem

Cursed golem relic brought back to life by science and magic.

New topic: The Curse of Zumtar

Interpret it how you like. No design exercise to go with this one, just have fun.

Very late creatures of the deep entry

I think I set a new record for the latest entry. But I'm only a couple of months late.

17 hours to process the splash particles (still needs more splash), 2 hours to render.

The most feared toy on the Island

OOPS!

This is ‘pee-pee polarbear’. Santa had to wash his sleigh twice after sharing milk and cookies with this little guy.

No one wants a...

Cowboy with Tuberculosis, draft dodging army man, serial killer cereal box, garbage rummaging Teddy Bear or a poop throwing monkey.
