Yeah, I am back from ~Hailstorm93's, and here's some of the stuff I've produced this time around. I did tons of studies as well, but since quite a few proved themselves incapable of reading the big red text in the first art weekend dump, I decided not to scan them.

Well, these are from Saturday and Sunday--I spent Friday evening and Saturday morning on Talulupus' commission:



And I also made Drapsstanken:



Anyway, let's start talking about what's actually in the sketchdump.

First off, Hailstorm showed me a sketch of some taurs she'd designed, which kinda inspired me to give lion-taurs a go. Not that their anatomy looks very leonine

Anyway! I should not design stuff like that, because I immediately started worldbuilding and now the taurs have a culture and I have some sort of story going on. Bwah! Let's just put it this way: They cut the tails off traitors, and they also mark them with some lovely scars which they dye so that you can tell the difference between a traitor and someone who's simply been wounded in war or in other ways.

The females have a powerful build, as they're the hunters. This lady here, I originally had her head in 3/4-profile, but decided a full profile would be better, and by the time I'd redrawn the head, I realised it was a bit too big, so I redrew the arms and made the torso broader, but it's still too short because I didn't want to redraw the whole lion.

Then, if you've been following my most recent polls and gone WTF, look no further for an answer. The old lady in the bottom left corner is Mrs. Fransen, and the dragons are (left to right) Juvelsnasken, Onde McOnd and Apestyggen. Hailstorm's drawing Fisketryne. I am not going to say too much about them, for various reasons.

Yes, they were created quite randomly--I'd brought NeonDragon's latest DragonArt book with me, and assigned random numbers to the various face/horn/eye/etc-tutorials, then asked Hailstorm to say a random number, and designed the dragons based on the results. Very fun.

Lastly, the faces to the right, they be three of my ingame recruits in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. I may or may not have written something about them. Anyway, topmost dude is Oleksandr (he scanned badly, his mouth looks pretty odd here) the lady's Dómna, and János returns again. I'm still playing with his features and the shape of his burns.

Apparently one of his recruits hit him with a pineapple once, that's why he doesn't like them. I spent some time researching whether it was historically possible or not. It was, Colombus brought them back to Europe in 1493, but they remained pretty exclusive for some time, so it wasn't exactly some ordinary fruit either.

Yeah, this was fun indeed. Cookies if you read it all.
