Oh yeah, Ben's drawings are amazing!

ben = the shit...BOOM!

LOL Thanks you guys!!! I dedicate those pics to everyone on SB!!!

Whoaly shit. Color that and get prints made so I can frame it and put it on my wall!

I've been enjoying all the great work posted in this thread and I've been inspired to finally scan some of my sketches so I can post, too.

Here are a couple of monsters I did with ball point pen at work. Shhh, don't tell my boss.



Here's one in pencil that I did last month:

Cool I like those. Like mutated fowl of some sort

Does the 425 have any significance?

Thats awesome Pickleloaf!! Do you color in any of your drawings at all?

not really. sometimes my drawings take shape as an oil painting, but i dont ever color the drawings themselves.

i thought about trying to paint this one actually. the bemon and bawer both could get some crazy texture with oil paints... but it would cost a fortune! haha

Those would look cool as etchings...

Oh yeah, it would look awesome with a good water coloring! But thats just me. Oils would work great too but as you said, it would be a bit pricey. I love this drawing!

The # doesn't have any specific signifcance at this point. I have a whole gang of sketches of similar type 'monsters'. I call them demons and I haven't quite worked out the details of the world that they inhabit. Right now, they come in three versions. The simple, less 'realistic' type in the first two pen sketches, a very simple, almost cartoony type that I didn't post and the more 'realistic', rendered version like the pencil sketch. Anywho, I used to draw monsters all the time when I was a kid. Ones that were more akin to kaiju as I was inspired by Godzilla movies, Ultraman, Giant Robot, Spectreman, etc. and my fondness for dinosaurs. Since I recently rediscovered my love of kaiju and there ilk, I've been trying to draw/create creatures more in that style. I keep telling myself "Make it look like a man in a foam rubber suit." LOL

If I manage to actually create something beyond a rough sketch, I'll post it.

Mangakaben, your drawing SLAY.

Please make me some copies, I want to color them with colored pencils.



Keep it going everyone!

This looks great! I actually think these two characters look better here than as toys. I saw a painting of Bemon done by another talented artist on this board (whose name excapes me) which also gave me a new appreciation of the character. I know I am in the minority here, but the toy version does nothing for me and for the longest time I couldn't figure out why folks here were so ga ga over it. I still don't get it and, believe me, I've been trying to. Maybe I just need to hold one in my hands, or something. For now, consider me one less collector to compete with. I do enjoy seeing a skilled artist's rendering of these guys in action, though. And you must be doing something right if you've made me appreciate a character I previously disdained. More!

Muffino and Pickeloaf:

Really nice stuff guys!!

The bemon fight came out awesome, pickle. and those skull creatures are top-notch creep, muffino!

I second what tavaro say's,you fella's have some real talent!!!BIG PROP'S to you both!!!

I'd love to see this guy as a figure...

Here is a page out of my sketch book, done with brush pen.Just some characters Im messing around with.

Thanks for the kind words, Wimu, Tavaro, Lowenbrow.

Lokash, I like the Atomic Shrimp fella. I imagine the mushroom cloud expanding upward and folding back on itself so that it is in a constant state of erupting.

Exactly, think Ghost riders flame head.

GYAAAAAOOOOOO!!!!!

AWESOME!!!

HA!
I wondered when you were going to post to this thread!

I got a Matango from S7 one time and Hiro had drawn a picture of the toy. It was just sitting beside the register so I YOINKED it.

i wish i could draw...

just do it!
