The Pentakraken
Even though there’s not too much that’s really different between it and a normal overweight squid, I like how this one turned out. Probably because it feels a bit more dynamic, and the shading isn’t quite as… tangled… as it sometimes is.
I should also point out that if it buries itself body-first in the sand, it can pretend to be a giant scary sea star with a gaping maw where its body should be. I don’t know why it would, though. Maybe it just gets bored easily.
It’s Kraken Week!
As the title states, it’s kraken week here at Nathan’s Blog (soon to be given a new, more interesting title, but that’s another story and shall be told another time). And okay, it’s probably something more like kraken time-period, but kraken week just flows better.
In any case, you can probably expect a few more odd-looking cephalopods in the coming days.
Nute
Well, here’s a quick portrait of the crazy parrot herself. (At the moment deciding whether or not she really wants to trust that I haven’t booby-trapped the new perch I just installed.)
Behold! And still they cometh!
Okay, this is the last one. I promise. Then I’ll move onto something more interesting. Like earlobes or spleens.
Though now that I think about it, spleens (despite how fun it is to mention them in casual conversation) don’t look very interesting. Unless, of course, you find a generic lump of something-or-other interesting.
In which case I have some slightly used gum for sale…
Another Shady Character
See? Because there’s lots of… oh, um… yeah.
A Shady Character
See? There’s a lot of shade!!!
Fine, fine… I know. I guess I was just running a bit behind on my bad pun quota. Anyway, this is the first of a few faces I sketched based on some random pictures, just to make myself practice drawing people.
Oswold Does a Silly Thing
Well, at least he’s having fun, I guess.
Now that I think about it, he does seem to be into rather extreme sports, doesn’t he? I wonder what he’ll do next then…
Bungy jumping? Skydiving?
Maybe he and his good pal Renfield will go whaling…
Any ideas?
Skinny Plant
This is a sketch I did at the same time as the tree one. Well, okay, not at exactly the same time. I’m not that talented. Or that ambidextrous.
Anyway, I was planning on posting it right after the tree, but things kind of got a bit sidetracked. Anyway, you can expect another glance at the adventures of Oswold pretty soon. He’s probably a bit more interesting than a plant.
Well, this plant, at least.
