30 Day Drawing Challenge Big Finish Days 25 30

30 Day Drawing Challenge Big Finish Days 25 30


Okay lets knock these out so we can talk about other stuff.



Day 25: An idiom literalized. 
I actually googled idioms. Its one of those things that you know until someone asks you and then you cant think of a single one. And "keep and eye out" was the first one I came across and I just couldnt get past the idea. 

Day 26: An animal that doesnt exist. 
Its always tentacles. They fascinate me and creep me out at the same time. I like leaving the exact details of this monster to our imagination Like where the claws and the tentacles and eyes come together is anybodys guess. I mean why are his eyes so low? 

Day 27: An old person (doing kung-fu)
So I drew the old guy on top. But then I had the idea of kung-fu with a walker. So I used the model of a gymnast on a pommel horse and drew this guy kickin ass. 

Day 28: An alien species that looks bent on earths destruction, but is actually quite peaceful. 
This is basically a rip off of Kang and Kodos. I wanted my guy to also be green, tentacled and drooling as well. I dont know where he got such humongous flowers. 

Day 29: A monument of the world coming to life and wreaking havoc on the nearest major capital city.
Another two-fer. I had some time on my hands and after coming up with one idea I immediately had the other. At first I thought of Mt. Rushmore attacking a city. I even wanted it picking up people and eating them Rampage style but I think the heads would be too big to notice people if they were done to scale. (This is just a guess Im not really sure how bit Mt. Rushmore is. I guess if I used North by Northwest as my source people are big enough. 
Been awhile since Ive seen it and I wasnt sure how committed they were to accuracy of scale. 
I mean its a mountain isnt it? Its in its name? Then I found this. 


So I guess I was right. The next dilemma with Mt. Rushmore is which capital city should it attack? And what constitutes "major." I ended up making the executive decision of attacking his home state capital of Pierre. 
Now Sydney opera house was pretty obvious as far as the city was concerned and I like the idea of shells on his back. He reminded me of a old  "dinosaur" toy I had as a kid. So I went googling to find a picture of it to use as a model and sure enough Im not the only one who remembers these.

Day 30: A visual representation of your imagination. 
I felt like leaving this one in black and white. And I wanted to make my head expressionless and black like a Greek statue. I also enjoy the juxtaposition of a small King Kong on a giant woman.  Whenever I go back and look at this picture I think to myself "yeah its something like that."
