BLITZ! Draw-Off 007

[Biofungus]

I had trouble coming up with this one (and I accidentally deleted a good PM I had with a bunch of suggestions), but I have a bit of an idea (even this particular draw off may seem a little odd/out of place):
FRANKENSTEIN's MONSTER!

Yes, draw Frankenstein's monster. You can include the good Doc Frankenstein himself too, if you wish, but it's not necessary.

And here's the catch: Hold onto your piece! It's going to come in handy at a later time ;)

Due: July 26th, 11:59pm est.

Have fun, folks!

[Ravencore]

wait so don't post it until the end?

I have some fine-tuning to do.What a great subject!!!! :w00t:

[Biofungus]

No, what I'm saying is, the monster you create in this draw off, will be incorporated into another draw off down the road, so don't lose your reference :)

[Premature Inker]

sounds great to me!!!!...thanks.

J.

[jakebilbao]

what if you can't enter in this drawoff? would you be eligible to enter the one you mentioned in the future?

[Biofungus]

Good question, and I despise you for it :sure:


:laugh:


Um... I wasn't really thinking that far ahead. So do something and don't make things difficult for me! :p

[jakebilbao]

darn man! i wasn't going to enter this time! :man: i'll try and do a quick one.

[Biofungus]

I run a tight ship here, so no backtalk!

This is an homage to Charles Burns. Thats why he has the Elvis sideburns and hair.
I was looking at photos from the 1931 movie with Boris Karloff and I saw this scene. With it I wanted to show the softer side of Frankenstein. :)

I forgot to mention that those are Dr. Martin boots!

It's like he's screaming rise! RISE!!! to the monster... :D

Hope you like it. Very quick, some tweaks and details would be necessary if someday I find myself in the mood to ink it. Anyway, enjoy!!

I kinda screwed up the cloth, obviously i have no idea how to draw fabric properly. As for the illustration, i did use the pose in the book as a model for it and still didn't manage to get the foreshortening right. I didn't know what pose to put frankenstein in, so i figured i'd try the jumping one.

:yawn:

[Premature Inker]

Don't feel Bad!!! I never meant to put you down in any way!!!..If you look at any of my posts here you will see that!!!I was trying at humor and I apologize if i made you embarrassed or feel bad...Feel free to draw any one of my peices of work with a Boner!!!..go ahead!!no hard feelin's.

I knew xaltair's looked tragically familiar. Could spell trouble. Anywho.....Xaltair, while Burne's stuf really is "dynamic", his anatomy is sometimes deceiving and even flat out wrong in some cases. I have many of those books and really the best of the series is "Dynamic Light and Shade". For anatomy, look elsewhere.

As for your Frankenstien....consider a second attempt. I won't give you any more grief, but I think Bio formally called you on it.

[Gabriel Solis]

Burne Hogarth is terrible at anatomy, although i'd recommend at least one book of his in your library for breaking down of specific body parts. If I need to know how to draw a kneecap, I know just where to look.

Xaltair that's also a good version of Richard Corben's Den :)

[Excalibur14]

Hi guys..sorry I haven't been around for the blitzes lately..This is a great subject (being a huge vintage monster fan)...sadly though I don't have time to create a new one.

I'm just gonna throw something I did a couple of years ago...Don't count it in the voting. Just for the hell of it.

Enjoy.

I actually haven't even looked at the books in years, i bought them long time ago and they've been sitting on the shelf for a while. I wanted him to be more or less naked and bald, so i figured i'd find a good pose for reference in there. I don't have any pics of people in those poses, i suppose i could've looked for wrestlers or something but didn't feel like it.

Anyways, it didn't come out as i wanted it anyways since i'm not a full time artist like most of you here. Besides, i didn't think using an art book's pose for reference (since i clearly drew the piece, not traced it) was going to be a big deal. I'm sure other have used it in the past and probably no one ever knew what their reference was, the pose i chose just happened to be on the cover of the book and i didn't even notice. :p

[Scribbly]

I think it is OK. Very understandable.
We are here just for doing some fun.

I also have that Hogarth book somewhere, but I did'nt noticed that.
The guys here are very sharp!
Wow!

[jakebilbao]

nice job to all youse! :) sorry couldn't make one. very busy.
i'll let the nana do the dancing :banana:







oh ok the carrot too then... :carrot:

I would have to say that i disagree with you...Burne hogarth has been studied and praised by some of the top illustrators and comic book artists in the world and was highly reckognized world wide FOR his unsurpassed knowledge of the human anatomy!!!..that is a bold opinion indeed.You may notice small problems in his books but you may ask yourself..are they his mistakes or are they your mistakes about the way YOU understand anatomy?I am not slamming you or your opinion..I just am slow to judge anyone whom has had the lifetime of praise and reckognition that Hogarth has. :)

dude, i don't have any burne hogarth's books but i have to totally disagree with you. when i first started out, this book was highly recommended by a comic book agent who is handling lots of very good artists now doing great works for the big companies. it was a bit pricy in one of the bookstores so i could not get my hands on it. but now if i ever come across one, i'd buy it without question.

[Gabriel Solis]

Jake before you buy it without question, take a look inside, if you haven't already. I was recommended his books by lots of artists as well, and I ordered 2 without a preview. George Bridgeman has better books on anatomy, although some of them are very sketchy and more advanced. As for Burne Hogarth, what I meant by "terrible," --his inability to keep consistent proportions (i'm looking at a picture now, her femur is more than twice as long as her shin), the awkwardness of many of his poses (twisted knees and elbows), and as a personal preference, I like anatomy books that show a little more foreshortening. His breakdowns of muscle masses are incredible, and his wrinkles and drapery book is worth every penny. But for overall anatomy, George Bridgeman's books were always at the top of the recommended list.

Well P.I., i'm just a humble noob, but I think they are his mistakes. I'm judging him on my opinion, not his many accolades.

[xaltair]

I'll look for this George Bridgeman guy's books, never heard of him before. And i'm working on a new piece for the draw-off right now, since the other one created such a controversy. :rolleyes:

[The Dag]

so your going to just copy George Bridgeman next...?

[xaltair]

so your going to just copy George Bridgeman next...?

Not really, since i'm doing the drawing now, i'm not driving now to go buy his books. Besides i used the book for reference, it's an art book for god's sakes. I'm not advanced enough to know how all the muscles and limbs look like in various poses so i have to look at art books or pics. :yawn:

[badapple]

:blink: This is still the Draw-Off Thread Right **Looking at Title once again** yeah, im the the right place. Hey so when do we start voting? :blink:

[jakebilbao]

you know what was highly recommended of burne hogarth was? how to draw human hands? was that the title/ but yeah, that was what was recommended. anyway, if i ever come across it, i'd still buy it. want to judge it for myself.

femur twice as long as his shin? could you post it?

[Gabriel Solis]

Sure bud. Much of his stuff looks like this.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h198/Ralstaan/HogarthCrap.jpg

His book on hands is also very overrated. He draws awesome clothing and drapery. Here is bridgeman's, he studies the hand from different angles, different situations. For your money, go with him

Awesome stuff people, unfortunately i just got home and don't have time to put the finishing touches on the new frankenstein monster i was drawing. It's up to Bio of he wants to put the one i submitted already in the poll or not.

[RikeArt]

Did I make the deadline?

Polls up. Multiple votes allowed. Premature Inker, your image isn't showing. Please fix it. I left Xaltair in. As was stated, this is just for fun, if you don't want to vote for him, then don't. As for Rike's being late, remember: until I make the poll, it's okay.

Good show, folks. I'm glad to see we keep going with good turn outs.

Thanks, they usually don't vote for my stuff anyways. I think we got a lot more people on a regular basis than the draw-offs in the draw-off section. :blink:

Good call BioFungus!!! Mr. Karloff is such a huge icon that its sometimes hard to not think of him when frankenstein's monster is mentioned!!

it sure is interesting to see how different everyone draws!

Whats next? I cant wait!

[Scribbly]

Sorry, I didn't knew we were talking about the original Shelley's version, so I went directly to the Karloff movie, which I love, with the secuence with the flower girl.
Now I read the Selley's description of the monster and I came up with it.
Just for fun.
