Title: Hamster Sketches

So the other artists have inspired me to do some drawing of my own. Also I just got one of those fancy smart phones with the touche sensitive stylus. I can't get my head around drawing on one surface and seeing the result on another. This new phone's drawing program is more sketch pad like. Next time you fly with me, try to imagine I am three inches tall, running on the helm like a giant exercise wheel, and squeaking orders at the top of my tiny hamster lungs.

Quote from: Reepicheep
The tail is the honour and glory of a mouse.
Being a hamster I have no tail and thus no honor.

I lack the genetics to grow truly impressive facial hair. This mustache belongs to Nietzsche I just drew it for him.

You fool, you have doomed us all. The hamster is a totem animal not a pet like the grizzly bear or the eagle it is meant to inspire us from afar, not to be brought into your home so that it can plot your inevitable destruction.

Hamster, be my painting sensei please ^^

Tanya I can't be your sensei because you have nothing to learn from me. I did these because of your thread (and Pechka's). I haven't picked up a pencil to do art in months, and would not have if you two had not started your art threads.

I was on an airliner flying above the cloud layer around sunset and I felt inspired to paint.

That's really  nice.

I like how you changed the proportions of pyra, makes it look not like flying anvil.

To be honest, I was doing it on an airplane and had no reference images to get the true pyra shape. I made it a silhouette with highlights so that it would hide any technical errors I made.

There is always a difference between how things actually look like and how we remember them. This creates an unique vision, for what westill have traditional art, not replaced by photography, the vision which allows to create the image better than it's real-life prototype.

Your image made pyramidion look lighter and actually flying. Also, larger baloons make it look more trustful - it is had to believe that actual Pyra with its small baloon manages to float in the air.

I'd love to see more your pictures of airships.

I would have to make them first. All that I have currently is a pencil drawing of a squid done in the Ed "Big Daddy" Roth cartoon style:

Thats a really nice thing!) May I suggest to make lower wings of squid larger?

It is hard to deform a balloon to the proportions that are consistent with the Rat Fink artstyle. I guess warping the fins and sails would be the next best thing to do. Also Ratfink drawings rely on vehicles with open tops so the character's oversized heads can poke out the top. I did multiple concept sketches, but this was the closest I could get for merging the art style with GOI.
