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.

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
