Its Wednesday again so once more I have to get off my lazy butt and do the Sketch of the Week! FYI this weeks concept art will be a 2 parter. I’ll repost the sketch with color on Friday afternoon. So that being said this week’s themes are dinosaur (courtesy of wendog), scary (jiggy) and insectoid.
I’m not sure if scary is 100% accurate but for sure creepy comes to mind. It’s concepts like this that make me question my sanity. Everything screams disturbing from the spider/crab like legs to the tiny little shrimp legs on the underbelly. This is the kind of thing you imagine in your head when you feel that bug crawling up your leg. Then you get that shiver, you know what I am talking about.
Then there is the odd hellish twist of the raptor like head with the needle teeth up top. I’m fairly happy with how things came out on this one, which is why I am pumped to add color to it soon.
The addition of color will really push the scare factor on this sketch. The addition of some more plates to the exoskeleton and some of the spines down the back will really push this up another notch. Slime on the teeth and tongue. The full nine yards. I haven’t decided the color pallet yet but I will probably start with a crimson red. We’ll see.

pretty cool. I have been creating some similar concepts for my comic. I would like to suggest bringing some insectoid aspects into the face. Maybe and cluster of eyes instead of just the one on each side. I pushes the creepy factor up a notch. All the detail looks great. Really great. I would like to see something a little extra too. An environment, more creatures sillouetted in the distance, Mucus secretions, or something like that might add to the completeness of the sketch too. Just because your concepts are cool, and your skills are improving, please don’t forget that you suck. You suck, your cat sucks, and i suspect that the Bills will suck again this year too.
Listen up WENDOG…you can criticize the drawing but don’t insult my cats!! They do not suck!
It really is a safe assumption that the Bills will suck. Although, it doesn’t look much better for the Browns either, Go BIRDS!
Oh, Wendog! Charity is about to open up a can a preggo whoop-ass on you lol!
This is way beyond awesome Andrew. This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen you draw. I give it a trophy full of steak-umms. Are you going to color it? I hope you do,it would look wicked.
A trophy full of stak-umms how could i not color it now?
And the eagles are bigger losers than the bills. They can never make it to the big dance, and the one time the did recently they couldn’t finish the deal.

how dare you sir!!!!
The Bills are the suckiest sucks that ever sucked. (FACT)
Cleveland is a smelly hole in the earth that will never house a champion (opinion)
The E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!!!!!!! are a great team with reason to be excited (Fact)
Andy Two-Beers drawings are almost as sucky as the Buffaloser Bill-holes (opinion)
Wendog is the best new/current dad involved on this comment board (fact, my daughter said so. Yeah that’s right she is talking at 4 weeks. That’s from great parenting)
It is also a fact that Steak-ums are delicious
Pff the eagles are the poor mans version of the 90’s Bills. Every year the only get to the nfc championship and lose. At least the Bills could get to the SB and lose.
but at least we agree on the steak-ums
