Yeah, the Dontiss is indeed the alien race from my comic book idea called The Dreaming. Well, actually it's mutated through many permutations, from short animated film to comic book series to mini-series to graphic novels.... and cycled through all those possibilities a few times. Man, I can't even imagine how I thought I was going to draw those things over and over, in large groups and in violent action! I was never evan able to draw a single one standing there with all its limbs! <BR/><BR/>And about the dropper drawings.... I tried at first to fill it with ink and gently squeeze on the bulb a littrle as I drew, but it wouldn't give me the light touch and control I wanted, so I ended up cutting a small hole in the rubber bulb (had to cut out a small round plug... just poking a hole didn't work), then I would hold my thumb over the hol eto fill it and until I had it on the paper ready to make the line. Once you let off that hole, you're committed... it's draw or die! If you slow down you get a big blob of ink (a few of them in the Owl drawing!). Oh, and I found it worked best to hold the dropper at a sharp angle to the paper... almost laying against it. Just in case anyone wants to try it.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25910439.post-1160621674427358042006-10-11T21:54:00.000-05:002006-10-11T21:54:00.000-05:00I love the eyedropper idea too, sounds like a grea...I love the eyedropper idea too, sounds like a great way to work quick n free, like I like :)UbaTuberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777541540454167277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25910439.post-1160615867459078402006-10-11T20:17:00.000-05:002006-10-11T20:17:00.000-05:00Wow the kid can draw!very nice mike, all the stuff...Wow the kid can draw!<BR/><BR/>very nice mike, all the stuff is great.

I love them all but particularly the inky ones, 'dollface', 'crunchy' , great figure in 'apples' :) and the Dontiss, is this by any chance the alien race from your surreal-dream film project? The pic with the two bipedals is very 'Mountains of Madness' to me...love it....<BR/>I'm impressed!
