September Sketch Requests!
Added 2016-09-18 18:06:56 +0000 UTCThere will be sketch stream(s) soon (when??) but it's usually better to get this post up sooner rather than later!
1. I usually only select about 6-10 to draw.
2. Please post references for anything that's not easily searchable on google images. I'll sometimes consider text description for a single character so long as it's not overly complicated.
3. I'll usually do flat colors unless I am given an idea that I wish to develop into a full picture (fan art or my characters only, usually), so color references if you please
4. Although I will try to step out of my comfort zone for several, you usually have a better chance if you request something I like to draw (Check out the stuff I do for fun if you need an idea https://www.weasyl.com/submissions/rickgriffin?folderid=15100 )
5. Two character limit, though also keep in mind that two characters are harder to draw than one character, so I will often select one-character drawings. Any drawing that necessitates three characters or more will NOT be selected.
The theme this month is BAD WEATHER. Get moody!

A random fennec fox-morph caught in a sandstorm, maybe making their way to some sort of shelter. Wearing desert-appropriate attire (probably something robe-like, e.g., Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine, or the traditional Saudi Arabian attire). Head covering: with earholes or without? I'm leaning towards with holes to let the ears poke out... gotta let those radiators get some airflow. And it's probably cuter that way :)

Because one of them, or both, are used to Australia's hotter climate (Australia is hot, right?) Perhaps one of them is more used to the cold, and is looking at the other like ò_ò and the other says something like "What? In Australia it isn't this cold!"

2016-09-26 00:49:54 +0000 UTCPete always did strike me as a stormy weather sort of demigod. How about one of him flying through some stormclouds, a contented smile on his face as some lightning dances nearby?

2016-09-26 00:22:16 +0000 UTCBack in 5000 B.C., Ptah and Satau are forced to fight a sudden flood together without their powers by building a bigger rock wall around their town. In a more heroic version, I'd like to see them both helping each other do this while in the middle of a storm.

2016-09-25 14:44:22 +0000 UTCThis IMMEDIATELY made me think of a Weather Girls parody. "It's raining cats, hallelujah! It's raining dogs, Amen!"
2016-09-19 23:03:10 +0000 UTCActually instead of Enigma can I get Dacre in that position? <a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21190998/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21190998/</a>

2016-09-19 22:50:30 +0000 UTCLet's see.... It's early morning and there's a thick sheet of fog enveloping the land. My character Aubrey could be going through some hard times and is walking the neighborhood park to sort through his thoughts. Perhaps he stops to check his phone? Either that or he's Hiking through a blisteringly hot stand of cedar trees just off of a bluff down in the Texas hill country. Maybe he could be wearing a cool looking poncho and hat? Your choice! :). <a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11546387/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11546387/</a>

2016-09-19 17:56:54 +0000 UTCIt would be nice to see the blushing Dragon sheltering peanut from rain my neighbor Totoro style :)

2016-09-19 03:59:49 +0000 UTCI kind of want to see Ali conducting enough havoc in an apartment to create microcyclones.

2016-09-19 03:30:55 +0000 UTCCan't argue with that, Stoker! I like!

2016-09-19 02:14:33 +0000 UTCHmm... alright then! I'll give this a shot. Idea: My Mareep character walking down a windy street with purple/black clouds roiling with flashes of lighting overhead. Phone in hand, a charging cable can be seen plugged into it and empties out into his wooly chest. Waving his orb tipped tail around behind him like a lightning rod, the electric sheep hopes to attract some strikes and keep his phone charged!

2016-09-19 00:41:58 +0000 UTCOoh. This sounds potentially relevant to Kepi, my large buff Luxray/Arcanine Storm/Guardian hybrid goddess you drew once before! Perhaps a picture of her in a bad mood, grumping as she leans back against a Pyramid, causing stormclouds around its 'peak'/her immediate area with her weather powers? She's topless, but cartoon-style, with nothing showing. Her best ref is <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/c27czi6axwzg56x/WFA%20Kepi%20Chokeslam.jpg?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/c27czi6axwzg56x/WFA%20Kepi%20Chokeslam.jpg?dl=0</a> , but if you need some other angles, there's more in <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bgclg6ku6tedr5c/AAB-ZxQPBV0LALSA61MS6J-Ma?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bgclg6ku6tedr5c/AAB-ZxQPBV0LALSA61MS6J-Ma?dl=0</a> .

2016-09-19 00:40:03 +0000 UTCBecause "bad weather" is relative... A beautiful, bright, sunny summer day with Stoker huddled miserably under an umbrella to keep out the horrible sunlight. Disheveled, hot, grumpy, unbuttoned, possibly smoking slightly.

2016-09-18 22:38:05 +0000 UTC"rain at a bus stop" is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking when I made the theme! Funny how that worked
Rick Griffin
2016-09-18 22:14:36 +0000 UTCItsuki, maybe wearing one of those Japanese bamboo hats, at a bus stop on a drizzly, dreary day. (As it has been for me lately, incidentally).

2016-09-18 21:29:15 +0000 UTCCould you draw my character James in a "Singing in the rain" scene? <a href="http://jamesmckadecomics.deviantart.com/gallery/56900016/JM-Comics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://jamesmckadecomics.deviantart.com/gallery/56900016/JM-Comics</a>
2016-09-18 21:01:37 +0000 UTCI think I want to hold off on a request for myself this month, since my birthday is next month. =) My request this month for you, Rick, is to draw something for yourself or someone you want to draw for.
