SciFi and Fantasy Art Battle Beast (9th August 2001) by Kelvin Michael Green

This is a sketch of one of those 'Battle Beast' figures from the mid-to-late Eighties. The anatomy is all over the place, especially his right leg, but it IS only a sketch. =D I don't know whether you could call it spot-coloured (black and white with hints of another colour), but that's the kind of thing I was experimenting with.
Apparently, he is a water buffalo. His US name was 'Roamin' Buffalo', his Japanese name was 'Violet-Horn', and his beast name was 'Janaka'. Fancy that. =D

Nice drawing, I saw the thumbnail and thought "Hey, that rememinds me of those litle monster toys from when I was a kid..." and lo! It is one of those! Yay!Well, I've had this one for YEARS, and he's become one of my desk mascots. Whenever I looked at him, I thought "I'm gonna draw you", and finally one bored afternoon, I did it!

21 Aug 2001	Audrey Whitham	Loading... Very nice inking... I don't remember those cartoons I was like 5 or 6 at the time but it reminds me of something that could be from an anime. Thanks. The inking's nothing really special - I used a ball-point pen! But if other people say it's good inking, then it must be! =D The character design has a lot of potential, so I wouldn't be surprised if something similar has turned up elsewhere!
24 Aug 2001	Meg Baker	Loading... For some reason this reminds me of one of those beasties that would pop up in Doom... lovely creatures >_In my opinion, biro's a very underrated artists' tool. I've often achieved some attractive effects with biro. I can see the "Doom" resemblance, but strangely enough I hadn't seen it until you mentioned it! =D
27 Aug 2001	Brett Cushing	Loading... Cool! You're pictures are all so [bleep!] sweet. Dude, keep it up! Thanks for your enthusiastic response! =D
26 Feb 2002	Nicolas C. Fonseca	Loading... My god Battle Beasts were my favorite toys in the world! Ha much props just for mentioning them. It's great drawing too looks just like him! Aww, look you went and done made me all nostalgic..... Nostalgia's great-I'm glad I caused you a little. =D
