This is sick, man!

Initial thumbnails here, I’ll probably grab a few things I like out of these and make a few more refined designs for the next stage.
The Morbid Madagascan Monkey Mariachi.
Oof thought I wasn't going to make it, so close
Was a bit hesitant on going for a more gloomy tone but it's a theme that speaks to me a lot and hopefully I was able to properly communicate it!
Hope you like it!

Hey Josh would love to get some of your insight on these big boys iv'e done for kaijune - dodging linework and going direct to shape just using the lasso tool.
I'm really loving the colour design and gradients on these - there s something about it I find satisfying.
They look great! You did a great job Creating unique characters using the lasso tool techniques. Your mix of gradient's and textures for shading pushes the visual interest to 10. My only critique is to add a complimentary or tertiary color as a small accent to the brute and leech. Maybe adding some more smaller veins, to the leech, will push the creepy fleshy look even farther

Hey Joe! Thank you for asking- I had a lot of fun painting over these! So first of all, great job :)
There are a few notes below pertaining to specifics, but the main thing is do what you're doing with shape and just take it even further!
The work you have is solid- so now the challenge is to push and pull proportions, exaggerate motion, contrast with bigger and smaller shapes etc.
Doing this will enhance the original idea- and if you take even more time to explore the idea will most likely evolve into something you never thought of before :)
(There are some clarity/perspective issues to fix but I understand this is a daily challenge- and my priority is always the interest of the design!)
But again, great work and please share more as you continue!
'Shell' is such a clever concept! They're all really well thought out. Great work!
Hello! here is my submission for the Proko Challenge (:
for a year I've been struggling to draw consistently because of the pain on my hand , and it greatly affects my income and mental state while drawing as I cant focus on the piece, at first I wanted to make a more serious poster but that doesn't really sit well , as I like drawing wacky stuffs more, hence the cheesy B-movie themed poster.
had fun making this one as it not only let me explore stuffs I wouldn't normally go to in art , it also helped me look at my life as of now , went on an emotional ride while thumbnailing and choosing themes for the poster i wanted lol
i hope you enjoy the picture and goodluck to everyone joining in on the fun!

Marshall repping the Etherington brothers! Got any other art/art adjacent books bar the obvious ones that you would recommend?
Loving the chunky fella in profile. I tried to get back into traditional a while ago, found everything took much longer and didn't look the way I wanted it too - pretty much given up on colouring outside of photoshop for now, I like being able to quickly change things.
Cheers Joe. There's a really great Instagram account that i use for people ref sketching, called earthsworld. I love the freedom of digital, but i much prefer thre tactile finish of a traditional piece.

Nice! I do one movie frame study a week myself, it is really great practice. I would say that the bush behind her left shoulder is a little too sharp at the moment but its easy to miss things in timed studies like this, I do it myself all the time. I aim for 2-4 hours, sometime it comes easy other times I get stuck in overtime, usually on likeness - though depending on what in particular you are trying to study i.e. overall value composition, details like that are unnecessary anyway. Here's my last one;
wow that's a very nice painting you really nailed the likeness, but yeah, looking back I really miss a lot of things but at the same time I'm trying not to get stuck on those little details, but I think you're right those sharp bushes is a little bit distracting since it's much closer to her face, it's fighting for attention. thanks for pointing that out :)
