After playing Fallout 3 for a while, I grew to love and hate the monsters in in. Some were pretty cool and fit well enough I believed it (like the Yau Gwai and the Mole Rat) but others were kinda far fetched (Devil's Claw) and others just big versions of normal animals, not really special - scorpions I'm looking at you. Anyways, I was doodling up some guy in a suit and got bored, added in a bird-monster with club-hands (see that way he's always upset) covered the armor guy in the foreground with obscuring cross-hatching and voila!
Taking a nod from both Indiana Jones and Mike Mignola Hellboy stuff (and the spikes on the head are from Goro out of Mortal Kombat)
I believe I drew this the same time or just after I started the Joe Kubert school of cartooning correspondance course.
I like it!
The top and leftmost clump-being were drawn at least 4 years ago. When I was back home in Ontario my Mom said she found an old sketchbook of mine and boom! There they were! I drew the bottom-right Clump Being just a few days ago in 2009. I think they were supposed to be Poo-Creatures.
Wooo, a spooky vampire-like sort of monster.
Very old drawing, but I included it because he looks more mischievious, perhaps even happy as opposed to being spooky!

Big fan of mechanized monsters and Muppets, pretty much all of Jim Henson's work.
I seem to recall I handed this in as a OAC (grade 13) sketch, and being a 'comic artist' I was encouraged to 'expand my skills' outside the (non-art) comic world.
Good advice, coz sometimes you gotta break your fingers like you break dogs.
But when the teacher would call for the 5 sketches of homework, I'd scramble through my sketchbook, ripping out whatever I thought might meet the criteria.
Yeah, last year of high-school, the novelty had totally worn off.
Visually, it's fun to draw 'a Predator' because there is only the looseguideline of 'Alien Warrior / bounty hunter' with a mixture of hand-to-hand combat weapons and technology.
Lot's of great stuff to pull from and work with.
Except for the bicycle shorts. They need to go.
I don't recall if I traced this image, or just worked closely with the shadows. I estimate this is from the early Beatles psychedlica around Sgt. Pepper time.
But Richard Starkey looks a bunch like my Dad when my Dad was younger...
Hmmm... And Mom is a Beatles fan...
