Octobit 2021 Day 25 and 26

 

 "Homemade weapon"

 The first thing that came to mind was a baseball bat with nails.  After glancing at what people were posting and seeing a sea of baseball bats I knew I had to change it.  Being a big fan of 'King of the Hill' the next idea I had was Dale's bomb.  In the show he says he can make it with "a roll of toilet paper and a stick of dynamite".  They never show it in the show so this is how I pictured it.

 

"Skull"

 This subject seemed the most straightforward, my first sketch was a Mexican sugar skull.  I wasn't really feeling my first sketch so I decided to scrap it and make something new.  I really like the series 'Dorohedoro' and Ebisu seemed like a better idea.

 "TMNT ripoff"

 Being a 90's kid I absolutely loved this subject.  I really wanted to make a 'Street Shark' but I felt during the week I didn't really have enough time to due it justice. After a quick 'Samurai Pizza Cats' sketch, I liked the result and decided to go with it.

 

 "Cocktail party"

 The first idea I had for this subject was to make a wide shot with Lupin the 3rd and his friends drinking at a bar counter.  After a few failed attempts I decided to make a woman in a martini glass instead.

 "Stupid hat"

Every October/Halloween my sister and I watch 'Over the Garden Wall'.  I absolutely love this short series, when this topic came up 'Wirt' from the show was the first thing I thought of.

 

 "Delivery service"

While thinking of what to make for this topic I had ideas of drones or motorcycles but I was tired and my initial sketches were looking rough.  After hearing what my friend was going to create the "send your cutest delivery boy" meme came to mind.

 "Perfect fit"

This particular subject was difficult due to how vague the theme is to me.  I did however have this idea of the 'Perfect fit sleeves' for various different trading card games.  A couple years ago I was researching TCG.  During some Pokemon TCG videos I kept hearing the uploader say 'perfect fit' while referring to the sleeves.  While sketching it felt like the Pokemon card back wasn't reading too well so I made a Yu-Gi-Oh one instead.

 

 "Cursed item"

 The only thing that came to mind when I read this was Sukuna's finger from the series Jujutsu Kaisen.

 "Sandcastle"

 On this sketch I wanted to go simple.  Looking back I realized I should have tried to make clouds or something else for the background.

 

 "Walking guts"

After seeing the prompt I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this subject.  It seemed like a perfect chance with how simple the animation is to practice animating in photoshop.  I made the iconic walk cycle from Berserk (2016).  I put him behind a green screen so I can place him anywhere.

 "Typical food from your country"

 Food from my country was incredibly hard.  My first two sketches were Enchiladas and Sopes.  After completely failing on them I was tired and frustrated so I made a street taco de carne asada.

 

 "Beware of the dog"

 I absolutely love Cowboy Bebop.  When I saw dog on the prompt I instantly knew I wanted to make Ein.

 "Big Bug"

I absolutely love the show King of the Hill.  When I saw big bug on the prompt I instantly knew I was going to make Dale's Dead - Bug van.

 

 "Matryoshka Dolls"

After double checking and making sure I knew what a matryoshka doll was I wanted to make a food chain theme.  I wasn't sure which food chain exactly but I had an idea for a shark as the largest doll.  After failing a few times I simplified it into the image above.
