Yo
I'm back. Thank you for the kind words of support you guys gave when I said I'd been hit by this bug.
Drew this last night when I was finally clear headed, which in my opinion is a thing to celebrate. I don't care how sick I get, as long as I can think, I'll be happy. The pig-eared, broccoli-headed guys are anthropomorphic representations of the H1N1 virus, and the whole thing is some sort of weird symbolism of my finally getting through being sick. Don't look to hard into it, I'm not sure what I was thinking. Inspiration for the viruses look come from this guy's glass microbes. Not to say I'm not fully recovered, but my head's clear and that's good enough for me.
Speed drawing, I allowed myself very little in the way of finesse.
When you can't think enough to focus on any one thing, playing with color is the way to go.
One of the things they tell you about character creation is "Can you tell who they are from just a silhouette?" I'm sure the same applies to creature creation as well.
When looking up reference pics for the last time I drew Soog, I discovered there was a nudibranch that ate Goose Barnacles. It begged to be drawn.
My pileated woodpecker OC, dancing.
Did a movieverse Kickback sometime back, here's another version.Damn muses.
My mosasaur OC Torpedo, walking on his hands cause he could.
And this Turbofox is one of many, many rough sketches I did when thoughts were in short supply.
Now I just need to get to working on all that I missed.

Sure did! Awesome!
It's a pain to find reference shots for loads of characters, to the consternation of too many. You are not alone.
Darn.
Oh, yes; alien life is so much fun to conceptualize. It's just so damn fun. Creating new worlds is one of my hobbies...and this guy's too: http://www.nemoramjet.com/snduterus.html
Better than me; I'm terrible at getting that down--must practice more...
*snerks*
Awesome. He sounds like lots of fun.
You're welcome.
