Sketch-a-Day #14

Today's song is "Du Riechst So Gut" by Rammstein. The title's English translation is "You Smell So Good", and it brought to mind a werewolf. I wanted to show the beast during a moment of predatory concentration. It's not looking its fiercest here as it concentrates on olfactory processing. Leave it to Rammstein to pull up some creepy material to draw from :P

Today's song is "Jillian" by Within Temptation. The song's epic/orchestral qualities inspired something a little more serious than usual. Enjoy!

Sketch-a-Day #12

Today will be a double, since I missed yesterday. First off we have a sketch inspired by Nirvana's "Very Ape". Took this one pretty literally :P

Sketch-a-Day #11

Today's song was "Häxprocess" by Opeth. This one was a bit of a challenge at first; the title and most of the lyrics are pretty abstract. The lines "Tracks in the snow / Leading them to woe" evoked a specter with a lantern, lighting the way through the wintery night... but toward what? :O

Sketch-a-Day #10

Today's song was Rush's "The Necromancer". I found it a little harder to settle on a shape/pose for this one. They can't all be zingers, I suppose.

Sketch-a-Day #9

I realized while doing my sketch yesterday that I'd only done male or genderless characters since starting this exercise. Today's song was "Dust Cake Boy"  by Babes in Toyland, it's as if they and Bikini Kill had been sitting there in my library, pissed off at me for the transgression :P The song and Babes in Toyland's attitude inspired this character; she's kinda like... Tank Girl meets the bikers from Akira? Anyway! Enjoy "Bat Grrrl".

Sketch-A-Day #8

Happy 12-12-12 everyone! Today's song is the track "Ocean World: Abyssal Glouglou" by Christophe Heral, from the Rayman: Origins soundtrack. Here's an abyss-dwelling cephalopod-person for ya.
