Anachronistic Mash-up: Mythology & Food

Well!  This weekend and last turned out to be relatively productive.  I give you:  Sphinx, with Pizza.  

Here's where she's at right now.

The early version, feathers just roughed in

Re-working the tail and wing

SKULL PIZZA

For those of you who recall my Lizard with Sandwich, this is hopefully the second in a small series of creatures with food.


Once I've finished the Sphinx, I'll hopefully have enough steam to start the next one, so there are at least three in the series!  Now I need to visit Papa Franks' for some cheap-o-awesome Italian food, because this is making me hungry.

Working on a Sphinx or two for Arkonbey, and finding that my usual weakness applies here, too.  Number one reason I prefer drawing skirted figures:

Legs.  

Trying to get the twist of the feet and the perspective of the legs in general has been a challenge, especially as I haven't drawn for a while.

Just found this image of Bernie's feet, which may help, as I'd like to do a reclining sphinx.  

And, for good measure, this one of the whole chunky boy.

Last night just for fun I also started a sphinx on a bike.  What I can't decide is, wings or no?  

And lastly, looking for other reclining poses, found Rembrandt's Danae so I got caught up doing a sketch from that.  The actual drawing is mirror image to what you see here (laptop camera quirk.)  Same with Sphinx on a bike. 

That's all for now.  Just wanted to share one of my latest projects.
