This is my little girls favorite piece of art and she made me post it. --She is writing a little story about this timid little monster. If any of you can help us think of a cool name for it we would love your input!
Can you say "DESKTOP WALLPAPER"? This is unreal! It just makes me want to know the rest of the story. If you ever make a children's book, you got a customer right here!
Sorry, Todd - I have to post again on this. This painting reminds me why I love illustration in the first place. Every time I look at it, I can't seem to click away. It just engages me and makes me want to know more about this place (that's a pretty powerful thing!). Yesterday I even caught myself trying to figure out why the monster is licking the tree (I quickly deduced it was a nervous habit he's had since childhood, and/or his immediate, timid reaction to girl monsters). Still don't know his name, but I'm no good with naming :)
hi todd! awesome character /creature designs! totally love this character... how about Uga Bugga? =) your daughter has such a creative imagination for writing something on this piece!
Thanks very much for the kind words. However I do think your blog is VERY amazing. I wish that I could digital paint like that. you definatly have my respect
Hey thanks for stopping by my blog. Looks like he could be related to the polar bear. Been checking out your blog since the flying pig. Thoroughly enjoy!
Very beautiful stuff here! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I never thought too much about what kind of people could get into it. I didn't have any expectatives. Frankly, I thought even my friends would be too lazy to visit it frequently. So I wrote it in Spanish, but I'm starting to think about making a version in english. Luckily drawings are universal lenguage! If you ask me, the creature is called Funpo Sleezers.
Great monster here and stunning color work!!! All of you avalanche guys are doing killer works!! it must be a great experience to work all together, a big emulation every day... I would also like to thank you for visiting my modest blog... and thanks for the kind words!! truly encouraging! I've been so impressed by your skills that I've linked you up immediatly!! hope you don't mind!!! thanks again and BRAVO!!!!
WOAH...This is INCREDIBLE...so glad I found your blog- having a tough time finding good artists around here. Your style has a Frazetta flavor to it! Great work!
You have great work here! I am in awe of your technique and imagination. The textures and lighting is great (I don't know why but I kept staring at those leaves hit by the sun). This guy immediately said "Smrgl" to me.
Hi, Todd, I just wanted to let you know that this cute monster has been featured in the Daily Illustration sectionof http://www.DesignContest.net Hope it'll help you find the best name for it! Great work!
Okay... I just discovered your blog yesterday.So, likely this guy's been named already, but When i look at him a very straightforward name pops to mind, "Schlump". Hope my belated comment finds you (and your daughter) well (and amused).
Just awesome monster! Can't help you finding (find?) a name, I've ever be bad at this... But it's a very attractive monster you've here! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove him... how about Slurp (he looks like he would)?! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI like what fes said... how about Slurp the Sclawth
ReplyDeleteHe's GREAT! Aw. So sad, too. What's the story? Why is he listlessly licking the tree? I'd love to see a children's book filled w this guy's story.
ReplyDeleteTodd,
ReplyDeleteJust checked out your stuff for the first time, HOLY COW man, cool work! I love everything, really, really cool work!
He looks like a Rufus to me. Really nice painting, bro.
ReplyDeleteCan you say "DESKTOP WALLPAPER"? This is unreal! It just makes me want to know the rest of the story. If you ever make a children's book, you got a customer right here!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Brutakis to me (Broo-ta-kiss), or some variation.
ReplyDeleteHe's awesome! He looks like he'd have a voice similar to Ludo on the Labrynth (but not so cheesy). Go Todd go!
damn crazy paintings man!
ReplyDeleteHow about "Licky McTongue"?
Or "Spitty" or "Tastebud McGee" or "Slimy Treesworth"
Cheers,
Bartek
"Sloth" for mine, every day of the week. It may have been the name of a character in the Goonies but it suits this fella perfectly. Lovely pic!

ReplyDeleteI'd go for "Mr. Grimples" or jsut "Grimples" would also be good.
