This is MJ, Author, Artist, and Analyzer. I'm bringing another 10 minute drawing session to you.
This is from February 3rd, 2024. It's Grand Beast of Earth number 5.
So, this is done in the car. I had a very unprofessional cameraman working for me, one of my kids.
And it was interesting. All the kids actually helped me collaborate and figure out how I'm going to structure my Grand Beast.
So basically, this is the Earth Grand Beast.
And I decided I'm going to make the Earth Grand Beast a combination of several different Earth species of animals.
So I thought I'm going to give it a bull body, elephant legs, lion front paws.
I don't think there's a tail really. And then it's got like a turtle head.
And I was thinking about giving it a turtle shell, but I don't know if I'm going to give it a shell.
But the texture of the skin, like, is it going to be scales? Is it going to be furries?
Is it going to be like, you know, rhino hide or anything like that?
I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with the skin part of it.
But for now, I'm pretty happy with the rest of it.
And it gave me a great design principle for the rest of my Grand Beast.
Since this is the Grand Beast of Earth, it's going to have features of Earth-like creatures.
Oh yeah, I give it a crocodile alligator tail.
And then that is going to apply to my other Grand Beasts in their biomes or the things that they're elementally aligned with.
So that'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
I hope you enjoyed that.
