Advent Calendar IV - Tiny Little Advent Calendar II

Post by Heindal »

Well, its this time of the year and again and I decided to make another Advent Calendar. Its the fourth, because I did not find time last year.
As last time I will be drawing small animal and monster pictures. The first one will be a cheap frank ;), but I will try to increase quality.

As I can't really draw this is also a challenge but it might be something useful in the "bag" for you.
Who knows. I will probably draw a picture each day, beginning with the 1th of December.

1. And the calendar has opened its first door.

Don't worry i can't hurt you, but it is attracted by the moon. This picture already existed and this is the "frank" image I mentioned. I used it based on the direwolf. I've also made a unit, that uses the Direwolf origin and just has this as "standing" picture. Tomorrow I will draw the next one. Even I am not sure what it will be. Maybe a whowolf, who knows.

2. The next door has opened, a little bit too early, I'm afraid.

I slightly underestimated how tired I've been after work, so here the next little fellow for you. Not an optimal result, but I hope you like it nevertheless.

I'm limited to 6 images, so a new post is necessary.


6. Something for decoration of plain plains, or plain meadows.

Out now: Sheep on a plain. (plain imaginary, not pictured)

A cow, or should I say Dr. Mooenstein? Phd Mookoocoo? Mag. Coomoo? So far I haven't seen any campaign in battle for wesnoth with one, thats why I always used a yak in my campaign. I have several versions and I can alter color and spots as well an udder. More when we see each other again. 'imagine a skeletormeme here*


8. An unknown being from the depths of the earth or should I say ocean?

Its a fish. You did not expect this, me neither. What kind of fish is it? I have no idea actually. It looked beautiful and I found it in the natural history museum in my home city inside an aquarium. Made some photos there for the calendar. Maybe next time more about this. For now, have fun.


9. A hero without a mask.

A little to big for an average robin, but good enough for a calendar.


10. If Santa had a dog ...

... it would be him. Woofy van Woofenstein, the St. Bernard.

We made it to the first half. Here are the other animals.

12. One of the most beautiful birds in the world, which even inspires people today.

The Quetzal, no this is not this one region in Canada, but one of the most colorful birds I've seen. I will add a flying version later.
Today I was really tired like yesterday, but I'm happy with the todays results.

13. Another unique animal with a unique name. The Oryx antelope is our new animal.
I'm not really sure about the body color, it should be greyish, but I used three different colors.
