Do you know the experience of hearing a musician's latest album and you think to yourself, "Buddy, you gotta get a new sound or something, 'cause this is TIRED!"
Well, I've been saying to that to myself lately. I've been wanting to see something new, something different so I figured I'd try to draw some place different, to draw a little escapist place for your eye, a place to imagine oneself into, and voila! The Temple of the Monkey Cult is born.
I've done this subject matter before - the priest at the weird alter etc. I've not had the temple look like a baboon's head, nor has that baboon's head been carved into a hill top, nor have I drawn it in such a way that invites the viewer in to walk the paths with one's eye. I think the angle, the view helps one do that and the shading helps guide one around also.
I like how the baboon's eyes are suggested with the carved rock and the building at the back has a nice, warm feeling with the light beaming out of it. The prayer flags flapping on the line are nice and add some needed dynamism. This is one drawing that would really be improved with some colour, to help show how lush and verdant the place is. Perhaps a deep red paint on the buildings and bright warm pumpkin orange glow coming from the main building and from the torches down at the alter.

Robot Lord
This is not a test.
If I said "Robot Lord" to you and the only other things you know about him/her/it is that this character is mean, probably evil and they have and use a sword. So based on that information, which design shown below do you like best, or if none appeal to you, which comes closest and what parts of any one of them do you like?
Can you suggest something more apt? Anything you HAAAATE?!
