"McDonald Creature"

"Ronald McDonald as a creature" was the topic for this Chiustream challenge. This was the first one I entered, and it's arguably my best entry. I ought to keep that in mind in the future, as the technique was very simple - which is probably why it was so effective.

"Venosaurus Rex" AKA "Savage Land Venom"

"Your favorite Superhero as an animal" was the theme for this Chiustream Challenge. The top image is what I submitted after the hour deadline was up, then you can see how I progressively reworked it.
Different people seem to prefer it at different stages, which one is your favorite?

Bathouse Creature

"Creature that could be in the bath house in the movie Spirited Away"

Redesigning Characters from Ice Age, these were from the two Chiustreams prior to Peter Deseve's guest appearance. As you can see Scrat finally "went nuts", and sid was punished for his "sloth" ala' Se7en.

Scary Plant

"Scary Plant" was the theme for this after-chiustream challenge. I went back and adjusted the curves on the larger version. You can see, from the smaller version, where I was at when the time ran up. It was an hour challenge.

Rexy

"Reptile" was the theme... I liked where this was going, even if it doesn't look complete... I would have fixed it up and presented a better version, but I lost my wacom stylus shortly after and haven't yet found it or bought a new one. all in good time, my friends.

My first Chiustream ever - I drew along, but didn't enter - no scanner. I made sure to enter every one I attended after this though, which really got me into digital sketching and definitely helped me bump up my speed-painting ability.
