Inspired by memes recently. At my work, it’s a bit of a tradition where each graduating class post memes in the main hall during graduation week. The memes represent their learning experiences and interactions with instructors. I’m running with an idea from the WWF’s The Undertaker.
Me taking on new projects / Deadlines.
Text still a work in progress.
Ideas?
Love the dappled light! I want to try that sometime.
you totally should. you would pull it off very well
@Mythmaker @Elixiah you have five days 
not to put the pressure or anything… 
Not to add even more pressure but It’s actually 3 days left.
Draco, the dragon!
Likely not going to submit this one… too many brushes, basically a doodle/trace of a constellation, and not having enough time to really build up and have fun with the space background… but I wanted to paste it here anyway in case someone gets inspired by it. 
As yes, still working on the clouds!
@edgarej LOL! I’ve started a sketch, I’ll post later today. I’m still having a tough time recovering from Covid. On top of that, I got a dog portrait order with 3 dogs in it. But I intend on getting it done and entered in time:crossed_fingers:
I think the Cloud Dragon is almost ready for prime time.
This was done entirely with the stock brush “Essential Cloud SmokePillar” (Except for the vector signature). The only modifications I made were to brush size and transparency. The lightning and landscape trees were a bit of a “How am I going to do this?!?” for sure!
Let me know if you have any thoughts/suggestions!
well done steve
I’m so eager to see this one done! This will be fabulous! 
Me, too. It’s already dynamic.
looking beautiful
Gonna try to get this a little more finished out in the time left. I don’t have much free time to give it. I’m kinda liking using only the one brush so far. Simplifies things
Getting myself to finish anything is a struggle, but I really enjoyed this prompt and went through so many iterations over the last week and had to abandon cause I felt like I couldn’t manage to get it done.
I really loved the idea of a small/baby dragon creating the shadow of a larger creature, so I tried different ideas for the form.
This one I abandoned because I didn’t feel like I could get the perspective right.
So I thought to find a cool cave (Benagil Cave, Algarve from Bethany Ciullo
on flickr) and change the way the shadow was shown. Maybe add an actually large and intimidating dragon in the back, waiting.
At this point I was thinking of quitting. A few days later I just started sketching, and did this (WARNING FOR TIMELAPSE, I TYPICALLY CHANGE COLOURS FOR THE ENTIRE CANVAS, IF IT IS AN ISSUE TO SEE FLASHING COLOURS, PLEASE AVOID):
Completely moved on from the baby creating the shadow idea and onto men accidentally stumbling upon and causing a dragon to get mad. Ended up getting angry again with what I was doing and stopped, until last night when I finally decided to just let loose and skribble.
This is the product of said skribbling.
I’m really, really happy with it and had so much fun. I used a feathered dragon concept I’d been working on last year for fun that I never finished and have pretty much memorised in my head (sense a theme?), where she was raising her babies. The chiaroscuro aspect allowed me to just imply detail with random scratch marks. I love the idea of a mother dragon warming her young with her fire, as she keeps them safe, deep within a cave.
Now I’m wondering whether I should (not for the challenge, not enough time) re-render it as a “painting” rather than a pencil sketch (only used an SK-2 detail brush).
So, penultimate day of the challenge and today I’ve been scrolling through the entries, and @sooz’s painting made me think of this:
Then, as I was launched on film parodies, I imagined this:
I wish I had those ideas before! LOL 
I definitely won’t have time to make even one of these into a proper entry. But maybe I’ll finish them later…
Really cool concepts 
I really love the first one and how it is. It’s really fun looking. Great job with it.
@Corentin Yay! Do the komodo!
