So here is the final for my re-take on Snarf. This was done for CG hub’s Creature Planet Contest. I’ve been experimenting with starting and finishing pieces in the computer. I’m really pushing to keep my “penciled look” though all of it.
I’ll also be exploring some prehistoric work for a bit. I started with the Raptor and dropped the subject but am interested to pick it back up again.
Here is a sketch for a saber toothed tiger. Also coming soon in the prehistoric section: a brachiolope. – for some friends.

I LOVE working entirely digitally. It’s super-useful early on: You can flip horizontal to check for any weirdness, use free-transform and warp to make proportional changes, and lasso things like heads and hands that got too big or too small. And cmnd-z! Oh how I love you, undo.
Plus, you can use “x” to switch between to brush colors, and get great values early in the painting process.
Snarf turned out really good, by the way.
I like it too…hehe
