Ben lookin' Grimm

This was done for Sketch-o-Rama.
My second attempt at Mr. Grimm as a full-on, photoshop critter.
Kinda like it. Just about 2 hours in Photoshop during lunch at A.G.
May do a clean-up, and more finished pass at it.
Or move on....
we'll see.

Thark Portrait

Here is my final Thark image.
If you take a trip over to Sketch-o-Rama you'll see it there too. With a different background.

Thark Sketches....

Awesome news from the world of entertainment.The rights to Edgar Rice Burrough's (The man who invented Tarzan) novel: "A Princess Of Mars" have been purchased/optioned by Disney/Pixar. Having read most of the books in this John Carter of Mars series, I am totally jazzed to see this project underway.(well, almost underway...) Hollywood has been trying to make this property into a film for over 60 odd years or so.
We here at Sketch-o-Rama have decided to do drawings of one of the lead alien races in the books. They are 15 foot, four armed creatures called Tharks. This particular Thark in my sketch is named Tars Tarkus, and he is John Carter's most trusted friend throughout a number of the books. Can you imagine one of these guys animated on the big screen?
Here are a few of the rough sketches that led up to my finished pencil (displayed on the right of the image.) I have posted a stand alone image of my finished sketch on the Sketch-o-Rama blog.
