Gawd... Everytime I see your work I always ask myself..............

What the hell am I doing??

Awesome work Nightwing -- spooky, but very nice.. Thank you for sharing this with us :)

[KathyStrain]

AK!!! Great drawings but scary!

This report is one of my favorites of Bob's. Any chance you can use the description to change your drawings a bit? I especially like the chapped lips and the pine needle color of the hair.

[OklahomaSquatch]

Awesome work as usual Nightwing! I really like the scars. I still think my favorite is the one with the face paint though. Any chance you'd be willing to make some prints out of some of these and sale them as posters? I think people would really like to own one, I know I would at least.

[ARsquatch]

Oh Nightwing, I can't thank you enough for bringing your fabulous artwork here to this forum. I might possibly be your biggest fan! Please feel free to add your artwork to this forum ANYTIME!

PS: I still think you should do a coffee table hardback type illustrations book. I'd buy one in a heartbeat and I'd be willing to bet I'm not the only one that thinks so.

More then just a chance;)

T, the idea is a good one. But..although it's got a ton of "permutations"..this is just ONE illustration in the end. I may do a few versions of the "night shot" and such, but before I do someting of that nature(a book), I need to get some other ones done. That's the next big thing..I really have the process down now, I need to work on some completely different illustrations.
The "next big thing" is to aquire a really extensive library of private photos(for reference and use), as well as work on more methods for doing fur. If I recall..you had gotten fur down pretty well in PSP. I may well contact you off list here, and ask for some help in a tutorial. I'm very much PSP illiterate..so it would need to be from the ground up!
Once I have more of a varied portfolio of fully relised illustrations, I fully intend on seeing if there is a market of any kind, if for no other reason that it may help fund field research for SRI and Michigan Bigfoot.

Kathy, in reading that report, I'm a bit confused. Bob is not the one who had the sighting is he? Or, is that one that he investigated? Either way, I'll take a crack at it!

OK, edited cause' I'm a dufus!!! Reallly need to read the entire report before I post. I see it's obviously a report he investigated!

Me..... giving you advice?? BWAAAA HAAA HAAAA!! That's a good one!

I'll write you a tutorial on how to do fur in PSP. It's a no brainer. You really should try PSP out as an additional rendering program. It's pretty awesome and I have an older version. There are no limits to what someone with your talent could do!

[Melissa]

Can you just imagine....

Your out in the middle of the night, scanning the forest around you with your nightvision, minding your own business.. You scan right, scan left, scan back to the right

BAM !!! This is staring at you...

Oh man, Im gonna have nightmares now. LOL

[ARsquatch]

Just imagine that face being up close and personal like it is here standing nose to nose with you when you pan to your right, there stands the old General with his scars down his face and that expression. Bigtime willies!

[skookum53]

nightwing.....good job grasshopper..that's a sweet signature pic :drinks: ......

Oh I love that one! This is your husband Bob or is he the investigater or what? If it is I had no idea he had more than one encounter.

ANYWAYS, Nightwing, great stuff, as always. I've always appreciated your noses. Do you have any sighting in particular that inspire you? Have you ever done a profile?

[KathyStrain]

Yeah, my husband Bob investigated the report...which is one of the better descriptions of a bigfoot face and color I've ever heard. We visited the sighting location and it's a very interesting place.

Bob has had his own sighting, but it wasn't close enough to really do a sketch. You know who you really need to talk to if my best friend, Montra Freitas who saw one up close and personal. She could describe it's hands and the face well.

David, I really don't have any one sighting. Some aspects are loosely based on an "off the grid" Situation some of us are involved in here in Michigan, but mostly it's a compilation of commonly reported features, mixed with some "artistic license".
I've not done a profile, but that(or a quartering toward) is perhaps the next thing I'll work on.
I also want to start on a full body, likely incorporating the head I've already done here.

...like to see more folks who've seen BF up close do more drawing/sketching or describe it to someone that can sketch.

Does that sighting have an article online about it, was it around here? Yeah I think it's a great report as well, I like the way she described the face and color too. Bob saw one walking right? I'm not sure where I read his report.

You can read about his sighting on Melissa's blog. But it wasn't close enough to really see it's face. Too bad too!

[DavidFredSneakers]

I read some stuff she wrote on the BFF awhile back.

Yeah that one's weird, the body is fine, I think it's the nose, lack of a crest, and naked brows that makes it look weird. :dont-know: Maybe something was wrong with it! I liked the breasts though. Not something depicted too often.

There should be some sasquatch art show or book or something. I'd buy that.

[Lyndon]

Don't know what to think about this thread. Most of these sasquatch face drawings that I've seen look totally different to the other. Some witnesses report humanlike features....others say it looks like an ape....others still in between. I don't have a clue. I have a hard time imagining what a sasquatch's face really looks like........so I don't even try! LOL.

Great artwork nevertheless.

Lyndon..belive it or not, in a way, you would expect that from a real animal as opposed to a mythical one..
A mythical one would end up all looking pretty similar, as when people were "making it up" they would no doubt base their description on what had come before.
However...with a real animal, you end up with people trying to describe what THEY saw, and not really caring what others said they saw.
Also...if these are real, they no doubt vary to a greater or lesser degree in what they look like anyway. Even chimpanzee's can have a great variety of "looks"..and of course humans at times look almost as if we are from different species!
The things like the nose shape, eye size, that sort of thing..I think are easily enough attributed to a combination of actual different(although not totally different) appearences, and, to how people percive what they have seen, and how they describe it, as well as to how the different artists end up portraying it.
It's also not impossible that we have more then one "type"(although..finding if we have ANY types is the first step there;) )
