January 2017 sketchbook / Creatuanary art!







Sculpey kitty-dog I ended up giving to Mom!  


Day 1: Harpy (Grizelle, from Paradigm Chimera)


Day 2: Hippocampus (whale-based!)


Interlude: Oaxacan Honeybee for my friend, Elsa! It was actually a gift for her beekeeper friends; they give her honey throughout the year. She told me they loved it! 





Final details added with colored pencil.


Visited Mom's work after hanging out with Elsa. Mom has a bunch of my early Sculpey figurines at her cubicle. :D


Finch and I contemplate the meaning of being 29.


Day 3: Stirge (mosquito-bat hybrid from Dungeons and Dragons)



Day 4: Chimera



Day 5: Lamia


Day 6: Hydra


Day 7: Tzika





Day 8: Gryphon (Silverclaw, from Legacy [working title])


Day 9: Mutated T-rex



Sir John Hurt passed away on January 25th. Three of his films had immeasurable impact on me as an artist and person: Watership Down, The Plague Dogs, and The Elephant Man. I drew Hazel, Snitter, and Joseph "John" Merrick, respectively, to represent each film.


Musky, my faithful Smilodon model.


Day 10: Manticore (based off of Musky)


Mass catch-up strikes again!

I jumped on the Creatuanary train a little late. I completed only 10 of 31 prompts, but it was still needed practice! The early months of any given year are when I'm at my most fickle. I like having different things to do, even when I try to complete a drawing challenge.
