Sketch Sunday: Tyrant and Licker

Resident Evil's final boss is the experimental super-soldier named Tyrant. Devised by the sinister shuffle-pox spreading Umbrella Corporation to be an obedient stooge monster; Tyrant celebrated his test tube birth by slaying his de facto Daddy, lethally thrashing about a secret laboratory, and doggedly hounded the player until several surface-to-air rockets were sent his way.



I've just began playing around with a Pentel Brush pen. I'm still getting used to it, so please excuse the general sloppiness.

As a special Mothering Sunday bonus, here's another sketch that isn't strong enough to post all on its lonesome. Aren't I good to you? Resident Evil 2 theorised a situation in which zombies began to feed off each other, this mass infection daisy-chain orgy-biting beget crawling roof lurker the Licker. Although not obviously inferior to the deranged scrawl presented above, I was disappointed with this Licker render mainly because I quite forgot it isn't supposed to have any eyes or eye holes. Curses. Also! The creature looks like it's posed leaning on a bar. perhaps between featured game appearances. What's he drinking? Something poppy.

This little disappointment probably best recalls the abortive Newborn monster from Alien: Resurrection, rather than the pinnacle of the Resident Evil bestiary. Ho hum.



Really enjoying the pen though.
