324

very little remains from the first sketch for this MACRODON, it kept it's humanoid hand -now attached to a rubbery arm (better seen in this second revision), but that is about it, the rest of it is sort-of-standard-non-descript, boxy MACRODON torso/frame.

after a bit more work, the drawing was scanned -doing such a larger drawing (by comparison) was odd, instead of more detail work, I just used larger brushes/pencils/etc...

I have mixed feelings about the end result, but, I do like the cool snail-like shape this MACRODON has.

327 (lousy photo)

I started this idea while on the beach, but needed to really be able to stretch out on a hard surface to work on it, here is a crappy photo of this 9-page drawing in my 2nd accordion-style sketchbook...

326s

seen peeking in on the last image, here is a very unusual looking herd...

324 still in progress?

more work on MACRODON #324... still not done?
(because it is too humanoid)

UPDATE: with NEW SKETCHES + PHOTOS of SIGHTING !

After a week of thorough research on the beach in Destin, Florida, the sketch-blog is now updated, with the following new posts (#314 - #323) depicting brand new MACRODON research illustrations. Also, following are some very rare AND amazingly clear photos of a MACRODON in the ocean (!?)

The first image is a simple photo of the beach:

Then something cathes my eye, and I get a quick shot:

After steading my hand I get this killer photo:

An attempt to zoom in for more detail yields a blury shot:

and then... nothing...

Please report any info and/or images of MACRODON sightings to the MACRODON RESEARCH BLOG, and in the meantime, see other MACRODON SIGHTINGS:

323 + reject sketch

...rejected sketch I painted over, below:

322

...for whatever reason this one was drawn in sideways, it felt like it was floating, so I put it in space...

321

I finished this piece once I returned home, I am quite pleased with this final painted version. The initial pencil drawing is still interesting so I posted it as well:

...water stained

...a Giacometti inspired MACRODON...?

319

...I'm not sure if this one has a tiny nub of a head or not, so I erased it, but my line was drawn too hard and the mark in the paper remains...
