Artist's Comments

For CHOW#113 - Shapeshifter at Conceptart.org.

Geordy Herrmann, a famous gardener renowned for his prized petunias, found his entire flower patch completely ruined one morning. What the devastated Mr. Herrmann did not know was that he himself transforms into a giant slug on the occasional thursday night only to devour his own flowers.
How or why the transformation occurs is still unknown, but it has been told that Mr. Herrmann has started to avoid the local french restaurants.

Made in Photoshop CS2.

lol fantastic character. This really has potential for a great and funny detective-story. The flower-murderer and the detective-gardner in one person. Nice BG it fits perfect to the chracter. It´s enormous what a difference highlights and reflections make. The slug is sooo slimy and this cute beard haha perfect. Your coloring-skills are great ever thought about a tutorial or will you ever post some of your brush-settings? It would be so cool if ... ;)

Just amazing, man... I love the detail in the snail-'skin' - especially the whole shiny, wet look you gave it with the little highlights.

And the face, oh man... Can I take his portrait? Please? :lol:

Can't wait to see what you come up with next... You have a truly amazing imagination :)

Thanks, man! And yes you may, swing by his place on your next Europe trip. ;) I think he lives in Germany, or something.

This has got to be the greatest concept for shapeshifting. That big slug wearing the hat and mustache is so awesome XD Nobody draws slugs, don't they know how rad they are?

I love how slug like the guy is. I can totally see him turning in to a slug.

"Curse of the Were-Slug"? Could be...I love the hat being used as the mantle and teh moustache being kept on in slug form. He just has to be careful about being eaten when a slug...
