ArtOrder Challenge - Mutation Nation (Part 3)

It is like they are multiplying... Today I bring you my third gene spliced creation for the ArtOrder challenge, Mutation Nation challenge. If you missed them before, you can find my official submission HERE, and my second creation HERE. I present to you my Anglerphant a combination of an angler fish and an elephant.

I think this will be my last one for now (unfortunately). I have gotten busy on some projects and need to focus on them. I had to finish this one up in between some deadlines. I have a forth drawing in the works, but I am not sure when I will be able to get back to it... let alone the list of animal combination I have in my head. I am just thrilled I was able to get three completed! ...though everyone is only allowed one official submission.

That's all for today. I will be back next week with some more surprises and I will let you know when the Mutation Nation challenge goes live over on ArtOrder so you can check out all the other submissions! Until then...

ArtOrder Challenge - Mutation Nation (Part 2)

Last week I shared with you my official submission to the ArtOrder challenge, Mutation Nation. I had said Jon had me at 'Mutant' and I was not kidding. I just started working on these things and could not stop. I have more animal combination now then I know what to do with. ...well I knew enough to get to work on them and see how many I could get done before deadlines ate up my spare time. I present to you my second mutant, the Rhinostrich, a combination of a rhinoceros and a ostrich.

I am well into my third mutant painting but I have had an emergency deadline fall in my lap so I will have to take a two week break on it. I will be sure to share it with you once it is complete. I still hope to have it finished before the challenge deadline.

As I mentioned this past Friday, I am having a one man show at Bacon and Bakin' the month of April with the opening as part of First Friday on April 2nd. I will have all the detail to you this Friday. Hope to see you there! Until then...

ArtOrder Challenge - Mutation Nation

If you missed the buzz, Jon Schindehette has a new challenge up over on ArtOrder: Mutation Nation! The folks over at Wizards of the Coast are knee deep in getting the new Gamma World ready for release later this year. The ArtOrder challenge allows you to either design a mutant creature or an anthropomorphic character (make sure you head over to ArtOrder to get all the details). Jon had me at 'Mutant'. I of course took path #1, gene spliced creature, so I present to you my Scuttling Grizzly, a combination of blue crab and bear...

But I cound not stop there... I have already finished my second painting of another mutant creature and I about to get started on my third. I can't stop... too many ideas coming too quickly. Only one design can be submitted for the challenge, so I pick this one, but I will continue on the others for myself.

I will bring you my second creation next week and most likely some of my drawings that went into these. Until then...
