Now here's a guy on a dragon that's frying some knights!]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:17:52 +0000 http://squirrelemperor.cgsociety.org/gallery/780962

This is a Gothic chick. As for what it means... I'll let you decide. I used custom brushes and reference.]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:29:01 +0000 http://squirrelemperor.cgsociety.org/gallery/761890

This painting is about the importance of symbolism and why everyone needs to learn it.

Some stupid fat kid is looking for buried treasure with his metal detector. He finds this a box and inside is some remote with a red button on it. Scratching his head in confusion, he presses the red button and watches his hometown shroom up.]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 01:41:47 +0000 http://squirrelemperor.cgsociety.org/gallery/690698

This is a graveyard. In it, death has raised the dead to do his evil bidding.

It got 2ed place for the October graveyard theme on the Gnomon Workshop forums. ]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:41:35 +0000 http://squirrelemperor.cgsociety.org/gallery/679660

I call this Save the Nut.

This was entered in the September theme "Twisted Room" on the Gnomon forums.

I challenged myself by asking what a twisted room would look like from the perspective of a squirrel.

That was hard until I realized that squirrels are known to chew on wires, causing power outages and committing an accidental suicide. They get confused from the sound of it.

Then I read that they took out Nasdaq a couple times.

So I figured that I would make a room full of wires. Where this takes place is at Wall Street behind one of those computer monitors that display all the stock information. I don't think there is an actual room behind one of those monitors, but I had to make a room because that's part of the theme. So I flipped all the numbers and letters around to show that it's all inside.

I figured that a room full of wires made logical sense from the perspective of a squirrel. All the twisting and tangling and stuff.

I also figured that I should give the squirrels a reason to be in the room and that's to capture and rescue a nut.

I also thought of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so I dressed them up as ninjas. I decided to throw in an enemy too. The evil bunny rabbits. Dark creatures with glowing eyes of evil.

So the story goes like this.

The evil bunny rabbits kidnapped a nut and are holding it hostage in a deadly area located at Wall Street that if the squirrels are not careful, they can cause corruption and possibly die. If mission is a failure, squirrels fry, the nut explode, rabbits laugh, people lose power, and $700 billion is lost.

...Yeah

This is simply a forest path that I made up. I used a couple of default Photoshop brushs and a couple that are not.]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 20:53:37 +0000 http://squirrelemperor.cgsociety.org/gallery/651116

It's a Phoenix rising from the sun.

The phoenix was made with some custom made brushes and all I really did was splattered it on. Some interesting shapes were created so I worked on the shapes some.

The solar flare was done by taking a custom made brush using the colors red, orange, and yellow, all on one layer, streatching and distorting it, some copying, pasting, and fliping, and then using liquify to make it more rounded. I like how it turned out too. I'll have to use this for other paintings.]]> Wed, 09 Jul 2008 06:19:50 +0000
