The Quick. The Dirty. The Dean Winchester.

So here's my Dean for the Supernatural challenge. Yes, from the TV-Series. Fangirling the day away. I believe this falls under the quick and dirty category due to the sheer shittyness of it :D Really not happy with this one but hey, you can't win them all.

I am the LAW

This is so not what I planned to do for the challenge. AT ALL. But just as I had taken my pencil and paper out Ruska mentioned watching Dredd in Facebook. Which somehow lead to this. I do not know how. It just did. Apparently Dredd is all powerful enough to just manifest himself out of a pen. Which kinda makes this all Supernatural, right? See what I did there, see? Anyways this is so full of flaws that it is killing me as I hardly ever really sketch by hand. Thought I'd post it never the less. Because after this I kinda feel that I either need to draw more or just go screw you pencil and go fully digital. Dunno. Maybe I'll ask Dredd, he is the law after all.

The Quick, the Dirty, and the Fail

I tried. I really did. No I really didn't, it took me an hour and I was thinking of something far dirtier. But I can't take anything seriously anymore, I'm still sick and I want to concentrate on the bigger challenge. ;D I'm sorry. I regret everything. 

The Quick and Dirty challenge

As it will probably take us all the rest of the year to add stuff and more stuff to these Kalevala thingies I'd like to suggest an inbethweener. Yes it totally is a word. At least now it is. Due to seeing Ruska's recent doodles I suggest that the subject is SUPERNATURAL. For those of you who do not compulsively watch the series as some of us do *cough*) it can be anything from the realm of supernatural. Ghosts, angels, monsters, muscle cars. And the idea is to really keep this quick & dirty. Nothing fancy schmancy or super finished.

Also Curtvile dear get off yer ass and take part. Thank you.

End of message. Nothing to see here, move along.

And yeah, have a faaabulous Valentine's all of you Dearies.

Another entry for the same freakin' challenge! Prolific under stress only, me.

Iku-Turso, son of Äijö.

I don't know who is Äijö.
I'm too lazy to google.

Anyway, as Sari already mentioned, Iku-Turso is a (possibly tentacled and scaly) seamonster. Which means I get to draw tentacles and scales. And by get I really mean get to, they're perfect for my budding OCD. What I don't get is why everything I draw sorta looks like a penis.

Kalevala Crooz challenge

Hello! New blog member here. Tehe, I said member.

I'm Rusalka, I draw for a living so my life is awesome. I don't write for a living, because I'm basically Deadpool, verbally and complexionally. These super awesome people let me participate in this blog for gods only know what reasons, I suspect they secretly have a thing for me. I don't draw sexy females, but most of the men I draw look like women and all of them dress like them, so you'll never know the difference, provided you immediately forget this post. Lately my men have started to look more masculine, and I know this is wrong and I will attempt to fix my evil ways the day when superheroes come off their 3500-calorie protein diet.

Tapio, god of the forest. Has a trophy wife and bazillion daughters. Described as a sort of elf, and by that I don't mean the christmas kind, he's actually a surprisingly Tolkienist figure. Fancy clothes and all. So of course I threw everything I could possibly think of on him. There's still room for more. But the kitchen sink is clearly already in there. Two things: 1) I need an a3 scanner, and b) I don't even know how I'm going to color this. Dudes, I don't color things. I just don't.

Update on 18.02.2013:

Crown and "earring" done. This challenge is going to take me A LOT longer than the original two weeks. Hell, this just took me a day, and the beard is crap. I started by just basically throwing down the colors and shadows where I figured I'd have some, and this will be style of the bottom layer, done in Corel Painter, before I throw the whole thing to Photoshop and bling it up to my best ability. I'm gonna redo the face completely, it's boring me to death, but that's for the final round.

Aino, or not.

For you just tuning in, we started a conversation in a Fb group about a form of art that throws everything in it, including the kitchen sink. Examples can be seen here. After a bit we decided to give it a shot ourselves. Kalevala was picked as the subject of this little foray. So everyone's up to speed? Good.

The character I picked was Aino. The pretty girl who Väinämöinen had the hots for and who was given to him for marriage however she resisted. To make a long and tragic story short she died and turned into a salmon. As one does. And as I just watched the Prophecy I felt the need to make wings. So my Aino was supposed to sit on a rock half way through the transformation from a fish to an angel. Which she does except he turned into a he and theres tentacles. Which can sort of be explained though with the character called Iku-Turso in Kalevala. See it is Kalevala! Loosely interpreted but hey ;)

For this version I fixed the pose of Aino a bit.

Still have to add all the stuff to this as the point was to add stuff. So a LOT of scales and whatnot is still needed.

Here's the original sketch

Lemminkäinen, a very ruff sketch...

... and I haven't even decided on clothing either. And you guys had such great sketchies...
The sword is much, much too small. Have to work on that.

BTW, did you guys know that Lemminkäinen was a redhead? Not ginger, dark red.
