At the Mountains of Beard

With a hunger that knows no end, the beard expands, extends, inhabits, animates.  The man no longer grows the beard, the beard grows the man.  The beard grows the horse, the troll, the house, the countryside.  The beard grows all.

Don't ask where that house/beard found a mace that big - I don't know the answer to that question.

In other news, we have a guest viking today from the marvelous Christina Ellis! 

Yes.

Full Metal Beard

It all seems harmless enough.  A symbiotic relationship, a partnership.  One feeds the other, they both stand to gain something.

However, as the balance is disrupted, and the beards grow stronger, they begin to overwhelm their hosts... take control.

 There is no hope.  There is no escape.  Only beards.

There will be more of this.

Heart of Beardness

 

Our descent into bearded madness continues.  It only gets more ridiculous from here.

Something Bearded This Way Comes...

Here are studies/experiments for a personal thing I've been working on:

Spaceman and Spacehorse: In the forest of mystery!

Today we find our heroes in great peril.  Deep in the spaceforest of spacemystery they find themselves surrounded...

And, as is becoming a habit here is an excessive number of excessively sized details:

P.S.  Can you find Spacehorse?  He's very happy to be in the picture.

John Wilkes Boobs

A follow up to Lincoln.

This also produced some neat little piles of texture I would like to share:

This lives on the Idiot Festival where one may find other such nonsense.  In other news I'm working on some things that aren't disturbing and I'm excited that they should be on the internet shortly.  Until then, be strong.

Cowboys! Aliens! ... other... things?

So LAIKA/house runs a weekly creative challenge and this week the task was to draw cowboys and/or aliens (cowboy aliens/alien cowboys also acceptable) in response to Cowboys and Aliens.  You know that movie thing.  Here, then, are some of mine:

Also included are a couple o' doodles from cup o' doodle:

All around I've been doing a lot of experimenting:  playing with fancy brushes, messing with layer modes, drawing things I wouldn't usually.  Good times. 

More things in the oven.
