The Lost Project of 2010 - Part 5

WAAAAAAY back in 2010 I worked on a really exciting project. I created a bunch of monster portraits on neutral backgrounds that were going to live and breath in an super fun game. It is now five year later and that super fun game still has not happened. Will it ever happen? Who knows... What I DO know is that I got permission to FINALLY share the work that I did for this lost project!

I can not share any details from project at this time, but I can share my work from it. All the names have been changed to protect the innocent, and please, do not play the guessing game of what this was or is. I will be sharing my work from this lost project in five parts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5). Here is Part 5...

Babirusa Pigs for all your Babirusa Pig needs

Still super swamped with too much to get done so I am ending the week with some reference for you and me. I had about 24 spare hours last weekend and that meant a trip to a not so local zoo. Took a ton of photos and I wanted to share some of them with you. Today's selection is the Babirusa Pig! Do yourself a favor and look up what their tusks look like and can do. These specimens did not come equipped with tusks, but they did offer up some great texture and quadruped anatomical reference...

Bonus sleeping otters behind the pig!

While these may not be a fancy and over the top as a Hornbill the Babirusa Pig offers a lot of great reference to learn from. Just looking at these images now I am reminded of how much I have still to learn about animal design and how much my monsters can still improve. That is one of reasons to never stop looking and learning.

That is all for another exciting week on the blog, see you back here on Monday! Until then...

Recent reference images...

It is one of those days... weeks... AND months. I have some great questions from readers I need to answer... well, I need to make the time to answer them and get together the content associated with them. I have new work coming out soon... but I am still waiting. I have been super busy drawing and painting lately... on work I won't be able to share for a while.

What I am getting at with all this rambling? As the year comes to a close it can get a little hard to stay on top of everything, especially this ole blog that gets updated thrice weekly. The backlog of already written and created content is running on empty and there can be a bit of a scramble to keep up with things here. Looking at the blog this morning I just didn't know what I wanted to do with it so I decided to share some recent monster... er, I mean animal reference I gathered over the weekend at the local natural history and historical museum. I hope you find them as helpful as I do! Enjoy...
