Villains!

Hey lovelies. The opening for the Villain Show at Sleeping Giant Gallery was last night, and I must say it was a fantastic time. The turnout was awesome, so thanks to everyone who came out! I really appreciate it.

Here are the pieces:


Here be Jareth the Goblin King, from the Labyrinth. Excuse to paint David Bowie? Maybe. But David Bowie is fantastic, as is this movie. This piece sold!


This is Hexxus from Ferngully (you know, the movie with the fairies who have to save the rainforest from the foresters...) Pretty much a piece of my childhood.


This is Krang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Totally a kickass villain. The scan is really bad, but oh wellz.


This is Staypuft from Ghostbusters. I know, he wasn't REALLY a villain, but I got way too excited about painting him to really care. I love this one.

Cuegle

There's this neato book-thing out there called the Beasts Book in which a whole bunch of really rad artists have illustrations of different beasts and monsters and things.

After minimal research I found this feller, who I chose to do mainly because his description leaves a lot to the imagination and I wasn't confined by dozens of previously made renditions of him. Quoted from good old Wikipedia, "The cuegle is a monster in Cantabrian folklore. Walking on two legs and roughly humanoid in shape, it has black skin, three arms without hands or fingers, five rows of teeth, a single stubby horn and three eyes in its head: one green, one red, and one blue. The cuegle attacks people and livestock, and is reputed to steal babies from the cradle."

So this is what I came up with to represent the cuegle! The scan came out a bit funky, but you get the idea :)
