Smirk! give us a description of the next beast!

[smirk]

Hooray, I won! Wasn't expecting that; glad my melancholy walrus made it =P

A beast!



Nothing too random-crazy, but it's got a good theme going. And also I like giant bugs. Begin!

A clear exosteleton.... wat

[wierd]

Clear, as in, you can see the internal organs. Not too surprising, many real life cave adapted animal species become albanoid, and or transparent.

Take for instance, this texas cave shrimp.

A giant transparent wasp would be a bit like the enormous transparent spider from that terrible 80s fantasy movie Krull.
(I don't suggest actually watching the movie, mind. Its really bad.)

At least, that's how I would imagine a transparent exoskeleton.

*edit
Somehow this post got really jacked up, so I fixed it.

[Ameablable]

Okay cooool!

[chewie]

Finally something with mandibles that's actually supposed to have them

First LOL

LOL. With a whole week for an entry, an I going to try and pixel up something really good this time, with a real backdrop and everything.  (Just wishes paint had a 4 pixel blurring tool.)

It's amazng how few programs are out there specializing in pixel art friendly tools. Photoshop's blur and smudge are too aggressive, and paint.net lacks a precision blur tool at all! (Sigh)

MSpaint with manual color picking will just have to do. I just wish it wasn't such a damned pain!

Try Asesprite. Its an open source allegro program specifically made for making sprites. Its what i used when making my video game for school.

Urist McWrestler:  I can't find that elf-loving Forgotten beast -- I know it has to be here somewhere!

I can already tell this is going to be a very large image.  I have most of Mr Waspyhead's Head pixeled in, (damned compound eyes!), and it is already over 200x200 pixels.  Just the head.  This is gonna be a huge pixel art.  Glad I have all week. This conclude's today's time I can afford to spend on it though.

I might post a WIP later though.sadly, the lack of transparency effects makes the "transparent exoskeleton" thing pretty much impossible with MSPaint.  I might have to build individual layer BMPs, load those into photoshop, and then composite that way.

Do the photoshop steps at home after work.

OK, here's the WIP.

I need to DL the description page....

[GuesssWho]

. . . yikes.

[Eric Blank]

This one sounds fun. I might get off my ass and draw for a change

[wierd]

OK, a little more WIP for today.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Looks like time to start doing accessories, background, and foreground layers.

[Ameablable]

behold Enira Deepdeath!

the usual cartoony style
hope you like!
