106-107 & VARIATIONS

After skipping yesterday, I doubled up on drawings (and then some). Here are illustrations 106 & 107, side by side, with their multiple variations. Above is the final result (and seventh re-working of the initial sketch, seen here). As the drawing progressed, and digressed, you'll see that the changes occurred in the "head" area, while th "body" mostly remained unchanged.



The MACRODON on the left looks like a walking hand,
similar to Thing T. Thing from the Addams Family.



I am most satisfied with the MACRODON on the left at this stage (above).



Aside from the last drawing (the one at the top of this post), the MACRODON on the right had very subtle changes, mostly a growth in "head" size.



Again, the MACRODON on the left has a hand-like appearance, this time, if instead of being "cut-off" at the wrist, it has "feet" on it's "hand". Also, I like the MACRODON on the right most at this stage. Also, along with the final drawing of the MACRODON on the left (at the top of the post), there was a sort of conjoined MACRODON theme going for it.



I somehow lost this step in the progression of these MACRODONS even though I thought I scanned and saved it. The changes were very minimal so I was able to make similar changes through Photoshop.



And finally, below is the first step in this series of changes to these two MACRODONS, some of the initial sketching, as seen here, is still visible.
(on the left) conjoined? - (on the right) no head?

105 & VARIATIONS

This (jellyfish-like blob) is the first of the twelve sketches from yesterday, fleshed out, with a couple of variations. Because of my indecisiveness I repeatedly changed it, drawing over parts of it, but not without scanning it as I go, here are the transformations this MACRODON underwent:







In this next post I darkened those lingering lines indicative of arms in this MACRODON's previous incarnations:



In this last one is a Photoshop composite of the first drawing with arms:



This post is sort of a gnarly-er version of these MACRODONS here.

104 "WISDOM TEETH VARIATIONS"

My wife had her wisdom teeth removed today, she got to bring them home (3 out of the 4, #4 was too broken) here is one of them. So, as you can see, now out of Emily's mouth, these wisdom teeth have changed into MACRODONS:





As you can see, there are only 3, because the broken tooth is M.I.A. Once again, I made some drawings on paper, pasted to acetate and laid them over the initial drawing, like in previous posts: 062 + 082.

twelve sketches +

I had some more time to draw today, and I kept getting idea after idea for new MACRODONS, so here are some scans of the rough sketches, to be further polished in the days to come:



and here is a bad copy where I increased the contrast to better see this mess:


And finally, here is the initial sketch for today's drawing, an idea for a Cerberus type or conjoined MACRODON:

This MACRODON was drawn very small, this could be the first encounter with a species of small MACRODONS. (click to see a larger version)

101 !

MACRODON #101 !!! It's hard to believe that I have drawn more than 100 MACRODONS, drawing one every day (almost). Here come a few hundred more...

This MACRODON has which of the following?
a)a long neck/face, and is reaching the ground.
b)5 appendages, 3 in front, 2 in back.
c)a trunk, sort of like an elephant.
d)or, a reaaaally long...

if option "a" is correct,
this MACRODON could look like the MACRODONS in posts 043, 017.

after a brief break for the holidays here are 5 more MACRODONS
