Sketchbook: Bobby Rebholz
polycounter lvl 6
Hey everyone! I can't believe it has taken me this long to sign up on Polycount. I'm such a slacker! Instead of dumping a whole bunch of sketches at once, I'll start by showing creatures from a personal project of mine. I'm a creature guy so, that's pretty much what you'll see here! Thanks for welcoming me and I hope you enjoy!
The jungles of Ecor117 always seem to reveal new and interesting creatures. We come across one such creature; The Bafrogort. This towering beast spends most of its day feeding on vegetation and minding its own business.
As we travel deeper into the jungles of Ecor117, we come across a creature much like the Pemagort. The Charnyscarn is slightly more territorial and grumpy than the Pemagort. Although it naturally will not harm approaching creatures, if it is provoked in any way or it feels threatened, things could get ugly.
A Hombik is basically the one creature that you don't want to encounter in a swamp other than an alligator. These nasty, flat-bodied beasts can remain perfectly hidden and camouflage themselves as rocks. Hunting in packs and lying still for hours, the Hombik is a perfect killing machine for the marshlands.
The Pemagort is a peaceful creature living in the remote jungles of the planet Ecor117.
Here's a creature called the Larkot. It's a humanoid form and very, very smart.
Name: DOUGLAS
Species: Grimzle Wubb
As scientists first set foot on Ecor117, Dr. Douglas Furs, a leading Entomologist back on Earth, was assigned to study the new insects of the mysterious planet. Little did he know that his life was about to be cut short thanks to an encounter with a vicious jungle titan. Colonists later named the creature 'Douglas' in Douglas's honor.
Do NOT mess with Douglas.

@Raybees, I do plan on sketching flying creatures and am in the process of sketching worm and leech-like beasties. Pretty gross!
The Guropa is an extremely territorial creature, and is both male and female. It is able to procreate to sustain the necessary number of members for a thriving population. It is only hostile when its territory is threatened.
I gotta ask, what medium are you using? It look like traditional pencil, but these days I'm never 100% sure.
If it IS Pencil, what size paper/canvas, do you tend to use?
This is all definitely traditional. I'm using 4B, 5B and then black Prisma color pencil on moleskine. After scanning the drawings in, I'll add small highlights in Photoshop. I typically have to use the input/output sliders in "levels" to bring out faint values that are lost in the scanning process. By doing this, it tends to darken the images a tad, taking away any natural highlights I might add with gouache.
Amidst the canopy hangs a deadly foe; A silent, hanging nightmare entangled with the trees you must maneuver through. Be careful what you touch.
Thanks to all who joined me live in Instagram!
I cannot tell a lie.
@djwaglmuffin - Much appreciated, dj!

Plant-life exploration for my personal project.

This extremely hostile specimen can be found nesting near swamps and jungle-covered deltas.

"Bokraleech" Ecor-117 "As my research team made their way out of the darkness, I spotted the thing as it hovered near the mouth of the underwater cave. My spotlight offered a brief glimpse and I was lucky that it didn't see me."https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/751/524/large/bobby-rebholz-bokraleach.jpg?1508269437
