Aquatic equivalent of birds and the bees?

You've got some strange friends, Sister!

Canis Homarus

Just dipping into another of my art comp entries, because it's hard to find time to do much else at the moment. I didn't win this one, losing out to the incredible Saxon Dixon, but I still like it. The topic for that week was "Lobster dog" in the style of "something game-y". The reason: Do we really need one? It's freaking awesome! (Or alternatively because I had just seen Lobster dog and my mind was transfixed on his awe-inspiring visage. Gaze deep at his majesty.)

Also check out Dogfort if you are dogwardly inclined.

The Evaporative Iron Man

As requested: A moderately detailed steampunk Iron Man in front of an icecream parlour. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out... Although by the time I got to the background and drew the icecream parlour, I no longer wanted to draw a background. One of these days I'm really going to have to work on that.

So I hope you like it Ithyrn Luin. If not, send your complaints to Stan Lee c/o Marvel Comics.

Also, Aliesha: When you work out what you want me to draw for your prize, let me know and I'll get right on it.

That Buttercup is a spy!

I had really expected to have had something else done before dipping into the backlog of art comp entries again... but meh, time etc.

This one did win me back the coveted "Lead Artist" title. For those it's not blindingly obvious to, the topic for that week was (3 of the) characters from Team Fortress 2, in the style of The Powerpuff Girls. Critics may debate the proportions of the said Powerpuff girls, but what can I say to that except "hater's gonna hate."

König der Ponys

Now all of that "200 post" business has been dealt with, I can finally get around to posting the work art competition stuff that I've done in the 6 or so weeks that I haven't posted anything.

Today's theme was "Yourself as a My little pony" in a Graffiti style. Since the running joke (or secret fact) is that I'm German I decided to draw myself as that, instead of the respected, bear-fighting, billionaire-playboy-superhero I so obviously am. Then, as if to further emasculate the other competitors, I added them in as tiny stickers. Yodel-ay-he-whooo indeed.

I didn't win though, but at least I lost to someone who is a true pony fan. Besides... It's not like I can win Lead Artist every fortnight.

Two Hundred.

It's (finally) time for the much awaited, presumably forgotten about 200th post image. Not really much to say about it except that I started a few different things that didn't work out, and things have been pretty busy recently.

It's not a celebration without prizes though, and today could be your lucky day. I will draw you whatever you want* if you can either:
a) Accurately describe the "theme" for this picture
or
b) Name all of the characters in it

Comment below and win today!

*disclaimer: it may end up as my "interpretation", and I have a fairly wild (or lazy) imagination.

More like "Cliche Fighter IV"

So the art challenge this week was "Zombie vs. Pirate vs. Ninja vs. Werewolf vs. Alien vs. Russian", in the style of Street Fighter 4 ink splatter. Due to much complaining from the rest of the artists at work, this was then cut down to "your choice of three". I'm such a bad-ass through I did all of them and threw in a robot for good measure.

Alas, I didn't win this week (although I swear I was the closest to the actual style) but I only really had 2 days to work on it, as opposed to everyone else's 2 weeks.

In other news: This is post #199! Whatever am I going to do for post #200?!? MYSTERY.

I know my posting habits have been fairly lax/erratic the last month or so... but there may be a delay before can do anything suitably awesome to commemorate it properly.
