October 2009 Concept: Elemental Creature
An elemental creature of any form of energy from the realms of fantasy. Choices include but are not limited to; Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and so on. Concept a creature of pure energy or a creature heavily tied to a form of energy in some way. The challenge here will be to keep an interesting creature with features that can still be tied to its element without making just a puddle of water or some lame ass campfire monster. Target date, October 15th.
For those of us who have not yet posted the previous concept, there is no harm in posting late. We should not try to fall to far behind though. Yes, I need to get to work too.

Since I had no ideas for the Evil Children concept, I just took a creepy kid off the internet and practiced a digital painting for a sitting. Nothing special I did, just a straight forward painting. I think I really need to start doing more of these though, they will help me in the long run.
I set him in temple scene, as if he is guarding, patrolling the walkways. It came out a little different than how I imagined it. I pictured his skin to be more or less glowing, and he would have a light fire aura of some sort but he just came out looking like he is on fire. I'm still happy in the way it came out.
Not really a sketch per say but here is my take on a "fire" elemental or an Asher as I am refering to him. Check out my blog to get the story and meet his friends. I invite you all to read his/their background, pick a country and draw one up. Think, WMD via elemental creature. Or not.
The Ice Guardian, a lesser ice elemental creature that is roughly human size. They form in shard like layers that are brittle and constant in the state of sharpening. They are fairly quick, come usually in small numbers, and have a tendency to shatter shards in the area when struck or killed.
