Spitpaint #37

Topic: Dragon Lance

Back into digital, after almost 3 months! This was originally done for the facebook spitpaint group, but then I kept on going after 30min. The end product took me about an hour.

Beartopia leans
on the brink of disaster
Dragons wreak havoc
without a master.

The Bear king emerges
With the passing of fall
At the end of the day,
He'll conquer them all!

Topic: Mystical Rock

Oh noes she thought, "I'm in a rut!"
Always drawing the same composition, BUT
This one's in space with an astronaut finding
a magical space rock, shiny and blinding...

Topic: Sky Kings

Oof...this one is mehhhhhhhh.

Spitpaint #34

Topic: Troy the Badass Cop

More like Troy the not-so-badass-totally-out-of-my-comfort-zone-spitpaint. Hurmph, posted anyway, because I said I would.

I am freakin' exhausted. Work crunch has killed my brain and I am full of roast chicken and asparagus. Good night.

Spitpaint #33

Topic: Medusa at a Spa

It's tough when a bad hair day bites back
with fangs 2 inches long and black
With a band-aid pack medley
this time she was ready
and wrestled her 'do back on track.

Spitpaint #32

Topic: Red Dawn

Lots of fun dorking around with random brushes today. Also, it looked more like a sunset until the very end...not sure why?

When RS9-z52 woke up from his nap
ten thousand years had passed, like a snap.
His frigid planet now orbits two suns
and he's learned to like his burgers well done.

Spitpaint #31

Topic: Waterfall Circle

Used a sinkhole swimming spot I used to frequent in Austin as inspiration.

On bright and early Summer's day
Hamilton Pool is where we'd play
waking up at crack of dawn
to beat the traffic, beers in tow
bikinis thrown on and floaties gone
to search for parking, high and low.

Spitpaint #30

Topic: Wise Old Tree, 30min

There once was a tall willow tree
with quite a collection of bears, you see.
Kids would always stop by
to climb up so high
before forgetting their bears absent-mindedly.

Topic: Hive Queen, 30min

Eh. Played with shapes and silhouettes rather than form today. Turned out pretty muddy.
(Crunch is not conducive to poetry. Even really bad poetry.)

Speedpaint #28

Topic: Elf Brute (Halfway to Hades)

Lesson learned: Don't bother judging your imagination, it probably doesn't give a f**k. :D

The way the group works, we get 4 topics to choose from. I started off one way, but ended up on one of the others. 30min generally isn't enough for me to plan much, so I guess that's what happens when I go along for the ride with my twisty brain.

There once was a grumpy elf brute
wandering around searching for loot
he's usually a nice guy
but his contacts got dry
and he stubbed his big toe on a root :(

Topic: Rising From the Sand
time: 30 min

Between two moons
she rose from dust
to gather the dunes
'till dusk, she must

Spitpaint #26

Topic: Ping Pong Smash!

I had some nasty creative block this month...it has been difficult to do anything, from painting to piano, even dancing. It was like I was a different person! For sure I couldn't paint or draw worth crap.

On the up side, my logic brain has been really active, and I've been learning how to put a lot of stuff into our game engine at work. So maybe it's not all bad?

Maybe September will be better.

Spitpaint #25

Topic: Mud Builder

I love swallows. Even if they don' t really live in the jungle or under waterfalls.

Spitpaint #24

Topic: Jack the Friendly Pig

Meet Jack. He's got a good career, wife and two kids. Likes his tea with 2 sugars, one cream. Sports aficionado. Totally approachable, right?

No bad poetry for today. I spent all evening ramping up on homework 3 and am tired as shit. Maybe tomorrow.

Spitpaint #23

Topic: Black Teeth

(Taking a break from class)

Scaling mountains belched from the sea
a high priestess rose from the depths
flinging her arms up to cast fervently
obsidian teeth from her breath.

Spitpaint #22

Topic: Crown of Roses

...thought I was taking a break from these, but there seems to be a problem with my account, and I can't access my courses yet. So here is yet another one.

Spitpaint #21

Topic: Liquid Fire

My nights are often filled with whiskey, cats and 30 min spitpaints. But likely not for much longer, because I just signed up for Noah Bradley's Art Camp. Can't wait for my account to get activated, soon all of my homeworks will get sketchdumped here as well, whoohoo!

Mister Muffin
always puffin
with his drink
who would've think -
er, thought?

Spitpaint #20

Topic: Game with Death

As a high school kid, I read a lot of Neil Gaiman's Sandman hidden in my friend's closet like a cat, listening to Faith No More while the rest of the gang watched Twin Peaks. I always thought Death would have made an awesome big sister. Lucky King of Dreams!

Spitpaint #19

Topic: Dieselpunk Mole

or as Mike called him, "some sorta middle-aged possum" :P

Harold Mole was hard of hearing
though he always attended mass.
He's always in stripey overalls
to hide his gigantic ass.

Spitpaint #18

Topic: Asteroid Miner

Simultaneously scanning salty bets
while sketching spitpaints on the sly
For today, Evo's as good as it gets
Street Fighter, margaritas, and cheering chimp guys.
