Mutant
Beast
Warrior
This is a drawing made on a canvas using
a pencil. It is a mutant creature with different parts of different species that make
up the whole body. The legs are the legs
of a horse. The torso is the torso of the human body with bird wings on its back. The
head is the head of the snake. I made this
drawing based on my three rules of making
artwork for my art portfolio seminar class.
The three rules involve the artwork to be in
pencil only, include at least one character,
and inspire horror and creepy elements.
The idea of this drawing is draw a another
type artwork that I enjoy drawing which
are creepy characters. I wanted to make a
unique hybrid like creature with details I
thought of as original. I wanted to make a
creature that has the most original qualities
in comparison to other creatures produced
by art.
I want the audience to observe from the
drawing what aspects are in the drawing
that correlates to my three rules of making
the artwork. Also, I want the audience to
think “Creepy” when they see this drawing.

“I made one really ugly beast in
color.”
- Gerardo Martinez
This is an artwork made in coral painter. It is a
variation of the artwork “Mutant Beast Warrior”.
In this variation, I used the colored pencil tool of
the coral painter program to recolor the whole
drawing. Instead of leaving the drawing with
only pencil, I used color instead over the different
parts of the creature and the background. Instead
of using colors that would cooperate together
like analogous and complementary colors, I used
random colors to add more strange details to the
creature to make it look more creepy.
The idea of this variation is to give my original a
new original look in color. I wanted try an altenate style of making art by using the coral painter
program and using colors and tools than just using only pencil.
I want the audience to observe the difference of
the artwork when it was changed in coral painter
and color. Also, I want the audience to think what
are the effects of using color in comparison to
only black and white based on the original drawing and its variation.
