Grog and Trog

These two feral fellows are the villainous henchmen in my Tom Blackbird project.

In celebration of this Friday the 13th weekend, I wanted to introduce everyone to a seriously spooky website that's been giving me the jitters for countless years. The animator is Mr. Edward Bain, and his wicked little site, The Devils Tramping Ground is an interactive experience that’s going to scare the living daylights out of you!

  7. I like that the cats look like they have bits of things stuck to them. Makes them look like they've been rolling around outside.

    Also, I'm totally picking a copy of Gwango as soon as i get some $$$!

  11. I'm not much of a cat fan, but I think it could just be because I hadn't seen these two cats before. Nice one! And thanks for the link... I haven't made it past the main page yet b/c I keep getting freaked out.

  18. Grrrrr.. fierce fellows. Justin this illustration is amazing! So many wonderful details to look at. I like the way the first henchmen's tail is curved, and it's looks so heavy like a dino's tail.

    Great link too. Spooky : )

  20. Jared, I hate cats too! I have a terrible allergy, along with a distain for the smell of them -- I guess the salty reek of cat litter, hair and tuna chow isn’t my cup of tea. These 2 gents are monolithic, were talking fifty feet tall, so I guess I’m trying to conquer my fear?

  21. These cats are awesome Justin!!! Love the designs, the colors and the textures. It almost looks like they've been rolling around on a field of candy and a good part of it stuck to their fur. Really cool idea and as always very original and Justin'ish!

    Take care,

    Hans

  22. I really like the various shell-type thingys in the fur. Great work, Justin. Yer right about that site, I curled up in a ball and wept. Quietly.

  23. Dang how do you get that crazy jagged texture quality. I love that, its my favorite part.

  24. Here’s the secret Ian -- I take a cheese grader to the finale image, then I finish the sucker off with a pickax. It’s kind of sloppy, but it does the trick!

  25. Meow! Smashing stuff, JP!
