Returning to the idea of kaiju I figured I’d mash it up with the concept of magic girls to make “Magical Kaiju Girls” that get their powers from different monsters. No clue if this has been done before or who I might be enraging with it. It’s an interesting enough idea I figure somebody’s got to have come up with it by now.

Today’s doodle is a variation on a painting I started a few years back. “Space Western” is a bit more common of a concept these days. There’s just something about the idea of a helmet cracking in space that’s terrifying and makes you realize why the giant fish bowl design is impractical yet so fun to draw.

When I think “Robot Dragons,” I picture the different type of dragons I know of. There’s the stereotypical medieval dragon, the asian serpentine kind you see in parades and art a lot, and then I tried combining elements that are dragon-ish like bat wings and a cobra’s head. At this point it gets more cyborg than robot, unless that head is mechanical. It’s an interesting idea engineering a creature. I saw a special where they discussed devolving birds into dinosaurs versus crossbreeding other animals. Then I think of the times in film and literature where other things are viewed as dragons like construction equipment while demolishing a home. Like anything else, the design comes down to the story behind the dragon. Who made it? Is it advanced or primitive? Aggressive or friendly? These are things to consider when brainstorming.

Today’s concept was “Animals in Power Suits.” It’s no Brute Force, but what is? I probably should have tried a sea creature to continue varying up the designs. Of course, if it requires a tank to survive then that complicates fitting it into a suit to control in the first place. That’d just be another design element to work around.

Today’s concept was “Unlikely Mech Pilot,” so I figured the family dog would make an amusing choice.

Today’s doodle is based on the concept Victorian Wrestling Squad. It came from a brainstorming session where I tried meshing opposing ideas. About the only other thing I would have done with this one would be to try a luchador or two. I could probably spend forever just coming up with weird facial hair designs for this.

This week I’ve put together a list of concepts to work on. The goal was originally ideation and seeing how many versions I could put together for each one. However it seems I’m a little more interested in rendering full drawings. Today’s concept was kaiju monsters. I hit a bit of a stumbling block like I did with my gremlins sketches in that, when I base a creature on something, I tend to want to draw that thing instead of scribbling around and being inventive with it. Still, just rendering larger versions of real things yields some pretty monstrous results.

We close up this week’s collection of doodles with one of my favorite subjects – women. I’m a little compulsive in that I try to draw one male figure for every female, one chubby for every petite, so letting myself just draw ladies makes me feel kinda guilty. But I’m not sorry.

For today’s doodle I wanted to sketch some more shapely figures. This proved problematic when searching. I’m a hefty dude myself, so when trying “plus sized” and “full figured” I was surprised at what google thinks that means. I tried a bunch of terms, most of which led to porno. This was unhelpful for my purposes since it’s mostly people showing off the business with little merit otherwise. When I saw bad poses like that I just heard an angry stripper’s voice yelling, “Look at it!”
