Competition #14 - DietDope

[DietDope]

howdy ,

i think i'm gonna get myself up to participate in a contest ... first time

i'm currently sketching out some ideas arround a mantis , but i might leave the idea and look for alternatives (mainly bc there's anotehr mantis already) ... tho i think that sticking to one idea might be better when i have a deadline ... correct me if i'm wrong , but i just lack the experience

however , here are a few sketches , just to get the idea of the anatomy ... they don't have a "character" yet , but it's really helpful to sketch things out from different perspectives to get the proportions and stuff into your head . again , these are not final artworks , just about 10 minutes spent on sketching

if i decide to stick to the mantis you'll see an artwork in one or two days .

the barret/cigar idea is a bit of a cliché , i know ....

however , lookin forward to the competition , good luck guys

regards , max
