I also recorded the process for this drawing. If I ever find time to edit it and render it all I'll post that up, too.

Almicia Fauna: Grinner

Grinners are mammal-like reptiles that live in forested areas (primarily deciduous though some have been seen in sub-tropical rainforests).
Exclusively carnivorous, their mouths contain two sets of teeth. The first set is what is normally seen that gives them a ‘grinning’ appearance and is used help hold onto prey partially (two longer canines in this set) and rip flesh. The second set is an inner row of sharp teeth used exclusively to hold onto prey.
The horns are also considered teeth as they originate from within the jaw, behind the primary and secondary teeth. They serve to also keep prey in place as they did into the flesh and keep it there while the beast begins tearing away. They are also a defensive weapon against foes.
Though they live in forests they are not arboreal and cannot climb trees without much difficulty due to their short claws. They are also not very good runners and rely solely on ambush tactics to take down prey.
Grinners grow to be approx. 8 feet in length and 2 - 3 feet tall at the shoulder.
Coloration on males is generally duller browns and reds while females are adorned with brighter hues and striking patterns (depicted above). The spines vary from individual to individual and are thought to be indicative of age (shorter spines on younger Grinners, longer spines on older).

[work in progress] just some pretty ponies

practice doodles

Practicing using a square brush (and rounded brush with same texture) to do some quick drawings. Asked some friends what to draw and they gave me a bunch of Pokemon.

speedpainting, environment, character interaction practice

I'm beginning to practice more character interaction (with other characters and environments), environments, and 'speedpainting'. Here are two pieces I churned out over the past 2 days.

(This one was initially going to be a fully rendered/detailed piece but after completing the lineart I opted to go for a less refined look).

1.5 hours, square brush (speckle brush for dust effect), basic gradient tool
