The Allmighty Baluba

I don't know how on earth I ended up with this, but it inspired me to make one big island with lots of different environments and filled with retarded creatures and tribes that just...exist. They don't do anything useful, they don't have any logical reasons for their appearance and actions. They're just retards that live.

Each region of the island will have a dominant titan. The...hmm...western coastline is home to the Baluba titans. They don't really think and actually they rarely move. They spend their entire lives with their mouth opened so retarded dragons (gotta think of how they look too) fly right into it because they're attracted to the bright red color of the Baluba. Of course I made that up right now, I don't know what I'm talking about but it seams reasonable...

I don't really know if I have the perspective right and how accurate that shadow is...Anyway, it's BALUBA!!!

Cute. I like his eyes, and yes the shadow is off some.

seems* reasonable...
i really like the idea and the colors in this picture are fantastic
the eyes are very cool as camels said
the environment just looks great, but it's apparent barrenness makes it feel lonely

i wanna see more pictures of this island

Keep it up

TDR, you really have a nice imagination... I mean like, you create original creatures and characters, not just the orc+axe, elf+bow, dragon and shit like that. I salute you :) and +rep

Thanks for the comments & crits.
I don't think I'm that original, I mean look at this...it's a blob with 2 thumbs for legs and some tentacles on the head (medusa...) and nipple teeth...it's more like random than original :P. But anyway it's a long way from where I started I guess (drawing only demons & shit like that...and I used to draw a lot of elves and shit, even copied Metzen's artwork from the warcraft 2 manual, when I was barely in the first grades of school...I hate myself for that). Oh and I do have a dragon under production :P...a lame classic one, that is.

No shit?? i did the same thing! I even started translating the little story for viggy (he couldnt engrish back then) copying the illustrations as i went along. I firmly believe i learned a lot from that.

as I said, he has thumbs instead of legs. And with those thumbs he's standing on ground...crushing the trees of course...if he ever moves. Oh did I mention they don't poop? And they live forever. They don't breed. They appeared out of nowhere. They eat dragons because they have nothing better to do, they don't actually feed on them. The world would actually be better without them, but hey, what can you do now? He's so big entire towns could be built on him...hmmm......

I'm sure that, if he would fall over, he would provide food for generations!.
