Gravity Fish (Angry Birds Space)

Let's be honest, I've got some weird hobbies and interests for my age. So one of my many guilty pleasures has always been everything related to - Angry Birds! I think I played all their games, depending on how much space I had on my phone. And they were usually the last to go when I needed more storage space (which happens unusually often 🤔). Just last week I was... well, forced... to delete Angry Birds 2 from my current phone. RIP. 😢

One of the most memorable characters from Angry Birds Space that I really adored were some kind of fish-like planet cores in aquatic levels that I named - Gravity Fish! I said "characters", because they were alive, but they didn't really have any role in the gameplay. They would sleep and then open their eyes if Angry Birds hit them and that was basically all. They were just like little living aquatic planets with their own gravity. In my opinion, they don't get the fame and glory they deserve, but I guess that's just me, I often love such weird stuff that other people rarely notice.

Anyway, I fell in love with their design and it's been my plan to draw them for years. I'm actually glad I waited so long, because I'm very satisfied with this new style I've been trying out and the time has finally come to add them to my gallery. So... does anyone know what I'm talking about at all? Are there any other Angry Birds enthusiasts here?

Sloth-like alien (Voltron)

I know what some of you are thinking: What the quiznak does this drawing have to do with Voltron? Usually when you hear the word Voltron, you think of robots, flying lions and their paladins, but no - in the vast sea of so much fan art involving all mentioned examples (and more!), I chose to draw the first alien we meet in the first episode (not counting Alteans and the Galra) - some kind of an alien sloth-like creature, the guardian of the Green Lion. We don't find out its name or the name of its species for that matter, it doesn't talk at all and we don't actually see other specimens, only this one, who lead Shiro and Pidge to the Lion.

In fact, most of the aliens resemble known animals such as owls, tardigrades etc., but for me this design was the most interesting. I watch way too many Japanese anime shows, so I'm usually sceptical when it comes to animated American shows, but I liked it very much. The story is very interesting, it unfolds as the episodes progress, there are many unexpected twists and the animation is great. I think I'll wait for the last season to be released and then, when it's all finished, try to draw something more familiar from the show.

Here's some WIP:

Until next time,
