#everydaydrawingchallenge day 285 (7th of January), Octodad. I announced last week on my Facebook page that I'll be starting up a weekly game reviews blog. I'll be posting the first review soon, done for the game Octodad! So, of course, I had to draw him in a classic pose xD I'll be posting these reviews, entitled 'Dapper Reviews' on my website, then sharing them to my Facebook page :) check 'em out if you're interested! I want the reviews to be unique in that I'll be discussing games design mechanics and gameplay elements more than just what I thought of the game. Feel free to continue the discussion :D #Octodad #octopus #ocean #funny #sea #pcgaming #steam #younghorsesgames #indiegaming #kickstarter #game #gamer #gaming #drawing #art #pencil #artist #colour #shading #colourpencil

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 271 (24th of December); The GF Lounge. More Christmas presents! This time for some friends I play overwatch and league with, so here's them in their house as one of their favourite character/skin combinations! (Steel legion Garen on the left, B.va/d.va on the right) With their awesome dog in between :P How's everyone else's leadup to Christmas going? I'm doing lots of other smaller crafty projects either side of the drawing challenge - lots of custom designed knick knacks and so on :D #leagueoflegends #league #riot #lounge #overwatch #dva #bva #blizzard #dog #doggo #moba #games #gaming #gamer #art #artist #drawing #pencil #colour #shading #monk #blindmonk #duel #lol #riotgames #crafts

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 270 (23rd of December); Duditude! Christmas present for the other members of a dnd group I'm in. Our characters perform in a band named Duditude (referenced from the Sonic Boom TV series). Henry the Dwarf Fighter on the left (the drummer... Using his maces as drumsticks), Vaastro the Asimar Wizard (the MC and band promoter/producer) and Anne Droid the Warforged Bard (actually drawn a while back. Plays the bag pipes from within his chest). This one was a lot of fun to draw! Especially trying to capture the personality of each character :D #npc #dnd #D&d #monster #orchestra #funny #robot #dwarf #wizard #Bard #fighter #dungeon #dungeonsanddragons #boardgames #tabletop #RPG #game #gamer #gaming #dungeon #drawing #art #artist #pencil #shading #colour #sonic #duditude #band

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 267 (20th of December); Lee Win! A commission from a friend, depicting the result of a 1v1 AP (ability power) Lee Sin duel between him and another friend. Yeah, he's holding a Luden's Echo xD classic league of legends shenanigans 😅 #leagueoflegends #league #riot #leesin #moba #games #gaming #gamer #art #artist #drawing #pencil #blackandwhite #lineart #monk #blindmonk #duel #lol #riotgames

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 266 (19th of December); Christmas Holo 2. A commission from discord user ACP1123. Was a fun drawing to do, with plenty of references used to design the clothing (and a little help from friends when choosing the boots) and a little experimentation with the shine on the hair and skirt :) unfortunately the scan doesn't show it as well as I'd like it to, but it's all progress :D #spiceandwolf #wolf #anime #wolfgirl #isunahasekura #economics #drawing #pencil #gamer #film #tvseries #art #artist #colours #character #animation #profile #wolfears #medieval #Christmas #Holo #Lawrence #festive

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 265 (18th of December); Merry Mungo-mas! So, I participated in a Christmas themed Dnd 1 shot campaign recently, and decided that our party needed a family photo drawn :P Cast in order from highest position to lowest; Kernel S. Anders the Aarakocra Druid (also the lord of all these chickens) Twygg the Goblin Rogue Mungo the half-orc Barbarian Bwor Wop the Frog Thief Igan the Human Monk My character was Mungo, the fearless and jolly self-proclaimed leader of the group, who would also carry the entire party between locations under his arm or on his shoulders xD Our quest was to go save Santa from an evil drow wizard. Having fought and won against the final boss while atop a moving train, Kernel summoned giant Eagles for us to escape on (with the rescued Santa in tow) while the two giant fire and air elementals (Kernel summoned them to fight the boss) fought each other, as the train flew off into the horizon. Classic dnd shenanigans xD #npc #dnd #D&d #monster #orchestra #frog #funny #Santa #monk #rogue #goblin #chicken #dungeon #Christmas #dungeonsanddragons #boardgames #tabletop #RPG #game #gamer #gaming #dungeon #drawing #art #artist #pencil #shading #colour #merrychristmas #family

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 264 (17th of December); Snail Pail. Family Christmas breakfast this morning, and this little snail-shaped watering can was one of the gifts exchanged. So now I'm drawing it 😂 I tried out a simpler shading method this time, and to do it as a speed drawing (was a little short on spare time today 😅). About 20 mins. Not entirely unhappy with the result, but certainly needs some more practice... #snail #water #garden #gardening #shading #gamer #drawing #art #artist #pencil #blackandwhite #lineart

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 263 (16th of December); Spout Critter. Restoration Project 37. The restoration project is a long term personal initiative to redesign fake pokemon I created 10+ years ago. Each post will include a picture of the new and old designs. Redesigning a curious little poison gas spewing Critter... This was what popped out 🤔 #pokemon #fakemon #Nintendo #originaldesign #game #gamer #gaming #drawing #progress #upgrade #art #artist #pencils #shading #colourpencil #colour #gas #poison #Critter #Spout #nozzle #creature

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 262 (15th of December); BB-8. I got to watch the latest star wars movie; The Last Jedi. And while I like to draw stuff relevant to the day, I'm wanting to be wary of spoilers... So I just drew a happy little BB-8 :) while I'm not a die-hard star wars fan, I enjoyed the movie a lot! Can recommend :D #starwars #thelastjedi #sci-fi #Jedi #sith #space #lukeskywalker #film #movie #gamer #drawing #bb-8 #Droid #robot #ball #art #artist #blackandwhite #lineart #shading #pencil

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 261 (14th of December); Boots. I've noticed that the quality of the legs and feet I'm drawing seems to be Dipping. So o drew some boots today - build up some practice, and really give the quality of my humanoid drawings a good boot up the rear!... Moving along... #boot #funny #shoe #feet #Humanoid #practice #gamer #art #artist #drawing #pencil #blackandwhite #sketch #sketching #conceptart #design

#everydaydrawingchallenge day 260 (13th of December); Interior Designer Crocodile. So, umm... Yesterday I drew my pokemon black 2 Team, which included a Sandile named Chevrolet. Today's drawing spawned from talking with some artist friends, and us deciding that the first line 'interior crocodile alligator' could also be 'interior crocodile decorator'... So I drew an interior designer crocodile... 🐊 #funny #interiordesigner #crocodile #design #hipster #gamer #rap #hiphop #chiptharipper #memes #drawing #suit #fancy #art #artist #pencil #lineart #blackandwhite #character #profile #bricks
