Gumrad's colored Howler
« on: January 15, 2011, 12:30:29 PM »
I decided to try and make a Howler using several marvel superheroes as a model. Here is what I have so far.

So I colored my Howler drawing.

Interesting, Gumrad. Not what I pictured, but still interesting.

The sign of a good artist is that he or she uses the tools at their disposal to make us see something that they see.

In otherwords, kudos.

The rock like skin came from The Thing.

I don't remember exactlly who I got the lower torso/abdomen from because I started this so long ago, though I do remember it was difficult to find someone who looked like they could turn their torso all the way around like the Howlers did in "The Attack"

So far I only have the head colored (my Avatar).

What's great about it, colored or not, is that it's similar in appearance to the small glimpse of them we get in the photo page of The Attack.

     I agree. It's just too bad that we never really get to see a Gedd.

They describe the Gedd as being monkey-like in appearance.

I always see this hairless Chimpanzee with leathery gray skin and a face and disposition like Eeyore.

I always imagined the Gedds as kind of Sebulba like except they held themselves up with one hand and both legs, instead of walking on their hands

The Gedds had one leg that was slightly shorter than the other, so I always pictured them as kind of limp-hobbling along, using their hands almost like a gorilla would.  But not nearly as hairy.  I guess they looked a little like a cross between a monkey and Gollum, to me XD
