Description It grins because it knows.

It grins because it knows you wanna know.

Therefore it grins because you wanna know what it knows.

And so I dubbed it, GRINZ.

W00t~ More traditionalz.

Story time!

Back last year-ish (more Fall Semester '07) one night as I was waiting for my ride from school, I sketched up this lil' critter. Then it wasn't until sometime earlier this month that I used the sketch for some inking practice with brush pens and my Mircons.

But then I made a most interesting discovering when I went to go buy a replacement Primsamarker (one marker finally died XD).

I finally stumbled upon the recent Prismacolor Premier series, which had a few colors I've been looking for. The 2 (of the 4 I bought) I used here were Eggshell and French Grey 30%.

I was ecstatic to find gray at all. And there were at least 9 different kinds. |3; I only bought 2 but that was more than enough.



I think I should've left it just as the inks... personally.

Enjoy dudes!

"what the hell is that?!" is exactly what I'm thinking. Great design though. It's hard to find made up animals that are not just regular creatures with stuff added on. Great design.

Actually, even I don't know. XD it was just a quick sketch at first. But originally it was gonna be like a small dragon creature with horns, but then I just switched those to ears XD felt more fun that way~

And thanks!

Cheshire Cat meets Snarf--kinda creepy!

The hatching here not only provides texture to define the character, but it also grants thickness and depth. It enhances the mixture of the eggshell and French grey so that the creature almost looks tangible. It works all over this thing, especially in the eyes, which sparkle like marbles. What did you use to hatch, since the lines are so thin? Well done

I used a Mircon pen size 02 Despite it's not the smallest, it's very versatile.

i love the colorscheme, but i think the marker lines take away alot.

you know what's good for having really smooth colors are water colors or these markers called Copics. copics are really smooth in color tones, and they're also great for blending

BlazeTBW In reply to okavango [2008-02-01 05:28:49 +0000 UTC]

D8 I saw those too at the same store! But those are ALOT more expensive... So Imma use my Prismas until I can afford a set of Copics.
