every day a new pit beast for 2 weeks-

Yup nice pics man, the guy on the left does look peon'ish compared to the other 2, in my eyes the character in the centre looks to definately be a right hand man for a boss, or indeed be the boss himself, but as tykiel said the right handed things fits PIT BEAST the most - mostly cos its just a blob with a massive mouth, small useless arms go good with it, and the massive gaping maw looks imposing.
But i have to say if the development was to continue through - id say the guy on the far right needs to look more alive - he looks almost complacent, like he enjoys being locked up in a pit, not being able to get out and eat what ever he wants etc. I know this soudns corny, but put yourself in his position, your jammed in a small area with nothing to eat, after a while youll start getting pretty pissed off... so your on the right tracks - but piss him off a bit more :)
hey thanks for all the feedback so far :)

> Tykeil - kickass descriptions - thanks
like his design and everything but im not fond of overuse of hatching (or whatever you would call the sort of hession pattern in the bg).
again i envision a pit beast as a mindless creature (think back to rome here, lions in the coluseum and such) which is not entirely happy with its surroundings and such. A creature that weilds a weapon suggests intelligence (think of tool using animals and such, not the kinds u find in that situation) and thus not a likely pit dwelling creature (on the grounds it wouldnt be as likely to get caught and it would be able to do something about it). Not quite sure how to word it so i hope that makes sense.
Day 3
The further into the pit you get the more you don't want to disturb anything in the dark

oh man tentacles for a mouth / jaw - thats sickening - you are one sick twisted son of a bitch man, its excellent and i love it!! [:D] remember a few months back i said you should think about making a gothic comic ? man your style and ideas are in a league of their own, im serious. theyre so weird and disgusting, its screams for its own comic!!
hehe, more beasty pitt goodness,, and no im not sniffing!.
that last one is reminiscent of the lake beast from lotr, but only through the surroundings not much the beast itself..
the one with the two maces/clubs looks like he's had half his brain removed,, stitches on the skull it looks like,,
and the third one looks like a walrus gone wrong :O) i like the first one the best so far
DAY 5
And so we are five days into the pit,- will we survive the rest of the journey ?

what the hell ?!?!? hah!!!!! its like a larva with chicken legs and spiderey legs... thats insane, i would push your work to some publishers man - go down to the local comic ashop and pick up a few goth style comics - find out who publishes and get hold of them - put together a short piece, and show them your style, i think your style is more unique than most.
hey thanks - i almost couldn't make it today- i'm doing a few commissioned oil paintings for some people, but don't worry i'l make it to the end of the pit though :)-
mmm terps smelling linseed oil.. yep i'm way back into my traditional media- i'l have to get some shots of it with my camera and upload them :)

lol that guy rocks, he looks like a pregnant tyranid hormagaunt or something :P (warhammer 40k http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/tyranids/catalog/default.htm) good stuff
ooh lovely art, i like the one of the right most because it feels as if its dangerous but doesnt have the intelligence or manouverability to climb out of the pit,
dont mind if i just make up some story as i go along? ok good.
they guy in the middle is like the overseer and more intelligent warrior/ evolved class of thing, more like the upper class in society commanding the dude on the left who is like some crappy farmer with his pick axe, mabe he digs the holes for the beasts and they farm the ooze and growths that live on the back of the right guy,, but they got to have a good reason for there big horns and teethn stuff,, so i would say there race is very competetive and any fights that are fought the winner has to eat the loser hence the massive horns and teeth,.. i would say that is sufficiant to explaint he existance of these three creatures
grotesque as they are, exept for the middle guy who, as i said, is a more evolved upper class.
great pics,,
