:original post:
let's do it! everything's looking great so far, how about we show those other guys what the gray and green is made of!
here's just a real quick draft of some silhouettes . leaning more towards a norm or demon but i'll have to see. thing's will usually start coming together after the first couple of fun sketches. best of luck everyone!
edit: dammit can an admin change the title to a 2D? sorry about that

edit: Aah, it was a just mistake
I'd waaant... 15 to be on my kickball team.
Really like 5
6, 8, and 15 look the neatest to me
@saidin311: i'm pretty stoked on all the people doing this as well. thanks for the feedback!
@konstruct: i'm a fan of 5 as well, i'm really new to the thumbnail things but i'm sure its good practice.
@killingpeople: man that would be one mean center on a kickball team. thanks for stopping by dude! looking forward to hearing from you again.
@lojack: you picked one of the winners of the mini contest i heald in my brain! 8 was chosen! good taste friend. ;D
@binopittan: thanks for having all that love to show the thumbs! 8 was picked for the next loose sketch!
@gavimage: haha, thanks for the comments!
@indianboy: thanks alot for checking out the art up there, i'll be updating quite often.
@adambrome: pretty good call there brome, thats the one i roughed up for this next update. thanks for fixing my post title as well!
@DKK: ok so thats another tick for 8. thanks for choosing!
@bobo: sweet! thanks for checking them out, i'll be doing alot more drawing but here's a quick and dirty #8 just for fun.
ok so just for fun before i crash i did up a really really rough sketch of tehe most popular thumb. again this is still all up in the air but it was a fun experience anyways and a good excercise to loosen me up for later on.
thanks to everybody that dropped me a line! there'll be alot more to come.
go polycount!
Love your work Jouste, cant wait to see what you do.
the lines for 8 look pretty good, i think it has a lot of potential
keep it up
As a tip, maybe push the cool characteristics of the concept even further like even smaller hips or bigger shoulderpads, assymetry.... ya know?! ..but its already looking great
keep it up!
even though #9 kicks alls assses
my mind, it is prepared to be blown! (away, you sick sick people)
@killingpeople: hey man! no prob, next deal i do up will make sense of that drunken scribble. just you wait.
@rapante: great! good to know the thread will be watched!
@ravenslayer: 8's on the backburner for now while i loosen up a bit. thanks for dropping by!
@aimbiz: good eye friend. nothing is more tacked on then that sad excuse for a weapon. i'l get onto fixing it. hopefully the weapon here is waaaay more awesome ;D
@wizo: yes! wizooooo! thanks for checking it out. and i took your advice and just pushed the bigger silhouette to come up with my next rough.
@rv_el: nice choices on the thumbs! thanks for checking em out!
@muchucha: thatta boy! 9 was secretly my favorite thumb!! ding ding ding! 10 points to our friend muchucha! so i played around a bit and came up with grugravugagrub.
@r4ptur3: those notes are here to stay! thanks!
@wicked-j: nice gambit of choices, 15 is tickling a small bit of my interest as well, maybe a mount of some sorts?
@scrumpy: its all about relaxing and having a good time when you do stuff. i'm actually guilty of being a little too stiff on that last rough, i think this one will be better tho.
@kite: yeah 13 keeps visiting me again and again. i think the proportions and goofy pose will be an influence as well.
@lojack: thanks for the cheers! here we go!
so i really felt lousy about that last sketch, it felt really stiff and there was no direction. so here we go again, now with more notes! i really decided to just have fun with this one and it felt really good. thanks for checking it out all!
its grugravugagrub the demon prince of desecration and doom! fused with the power of death, the knee pads of woe, and the dreaded shovelabra! gruggy patrols the the demonic realm desecrating the millions upon ba-jillions of corpses so they can never truly rest.
these poor souls wail round until they are ultimately scarfed down by gruggy where they are passed with awful consequences.
the grugster has a panache for getting lost as well because lets face it, the demonic realm is a big place. to remedy this, he had a quick reference map scarred across his chest by his fearsome ex-wife.
the shovelabra is a fabled three pronged shovel, forged in the black pits of rogthortho, a bi-product of the cataclysmic concert of the 14 hellions. it digs through anything 3 times faster than anything that... uh... can dig through the said thing...
it digs through people all the freaking time, it's crazy.
and the kneepads of woe used to be alright until they saw "the happening" by M.Knight Shyamalan.
GO PC!
@coldkodiak: for sure! that would be awesome if he was broad stomping. it seems my rough rocks don't really look like rocks, or you have a few issues with women. not sure about the right answer to this one :P. thanks for checking out the post! go PC!
@zcorpion: will keep it up! thanks for the encouragment. go PC!
so here's some thumbs for fun and warm up. still got so many ideas kicking around this noggin o' mine.
and now onto another rough idea! took this in another direction. wanted a human dude who has bound a bunch of djinnis to himself and uses them to zap the crap outta his enemies! i picked clericon cause he binds stuff.
meet erol the lampster! erol was a brilliant guy who was super good at treasure hunting and anagrams and stuff, the wars were totally happening and he knew that there were ancient relics that held great power and would totally help fight the human fight.
he discovered a lamp through a series of several cryptic divinci code type things and rubbed it up to release the djinn. wish one he wished for the power to enslave djinni's. the second wish was for every magic lamp in the universe. he has never made another wish.
erol blasts his way through combat on great ancient beings of power with a brace of magic lamps and an unlimited supply of wishes. being the super genius he is the wishes he has memorized have been rehearsed and studied thousands of times to prevent any brutal error the resentful djinni's may twist into happening. like those jerk dungeon masters do whenever you get a chance to cast wish.
erol is no slouch in the martial department and also wields a sweet scimitar. in this image he's riding mhalzamhutazar, the djinn's contempt for erol has twisted him into a noxious cloud of hateful agony. this works out well for erol who channels mhalzamhutazar's tormented well of power right up the rectums of all who challenge the norm race!
had a fun time on this guy, so many ideas, gonna think about focusing on them way later. till then let the idea maelstrom commence!
8, 10, 13, 15. These all have very interesting shapes to me.
the lampster is very cool... i am also liking #2 and #5 from the latest batch of thumbs.
Must say I'm more interested in the latest thumbs than the latest sketch. The Lampster guy is cool but his mount would need a bit more interesting shliouete. Right now he's just a pile of muscle, which doesn't have to be a bad thing but making them a bit smaller and with a more exagurated sihlouette would make it look more tense I think, and frightening.
Keep it up! Whatever you choose for final concept I have a feeling it will be awesome.
@pestibug: great choices! noted and taken into consideration.
@mop: really glad your getting in on this dom-war dude. thanks for checking the stuff out! i think thumb 5 has got some neat ideas going on as well.
@aimbiz: yeah that's a viable point, these are meant to be quicker sketches just to hopefully open up myself to new ideas. good eye though. i wasn't too happy with the djinn's head so that would change for sure if i did up this guy.
@adambrome: thanks! it will be going in regardless of what my final piece is.
@diwan: you got it man! he's kinda like a demonologist of sorts as well.
@knucklebear: glad i could help make your day, he's definitely one of my faves as well.
@r4ptur3: thanks for the vote of confidence man! i shall keep them up.
@rats78: glad you dig em! just for the sake of doing thumbs i'll be doing a set per post for practice and more ideas.
mandatory thumbs post!!!
so i didn't have alot of time but i did up a demon lord named crackles! he is constantly exploding and wields the super awesome PITCH-FORK CHUCKS!!!
he is wearing some demonic sporting equipment and a really scary mask. like i said, really quick drawing and really just there to get down some more ideas, oh, and draw some pitchfork chucks...
go PC!
I hope you maintain this style in your final submission. Stylized with humor but rendered to the teeth!
3 pronged shovel! i love it!
I love all of these, cant wait for more and what lies in wait for the final, never stop rollin!!
and the "watch that reads time to die!!" is full of win!
@kamui: wicked! glad you dig it. and i'm pretty much gonna stick with this style. there are all stars that can blow my stuff out of the water so i gotta at least have some fun with it.
@lojack: i shall keep on rolling friend! go PC!
@lorddon: quite the compliment there pal! thanks a lot!
@tumerboy: i love you too nick. thanks for being the first to say that, the silence was getting really akward.
@bryan cavett: wow thanks a lot bryan! super stoked for your piece as its looking amazing. always liked your work. and i'll try and keep em' original, i gotta have something going for me! ;D
@machuca: yes! thanks for noticing the watch! thanks for the comments.
@wicked-j: that's the best thing i can hear! glad to help the motivation!
@r4ptur3: spoken as a true warrior, you know what it means to deal with the pitchforchuck (thanks for naming it clearer btw).
must... appease... the thumb gods!!!
he's infused with darkness and those sweet looking blades on his gauntlets are so sharp they can cut through light creating more darkness!
he's built like a gorrila cause a gorrila with a dozen heads coming at you would totally ruin your evening out with the folks. he lumbers around spawning his chompy head minions, and he's linked to all of them telepathically and can move them around all creepy like.
another quick picture anyways. i'm thinking that i'm getting closer to something to choose.
wow, getting tired. thanks for following dudes! go PC!
