**The Megalodon Tooth: Creation



The Ocean becomes the fill for the tooth.
And a shot of layer one going into fire.

The coat hanger frame takes an ominous shape.

**The Tooth of the Megalodon Materials I
















Our first major assignment in DMA179 is to sculpt the tooth of a megalodon.

I make my own tools. In horrible lighting conditions. One piece of left-over coat hanger and half of a Q-Tip. I would also later use a brush, but we all know what that looks like roughly. And no, I don't mean a hair-brush. Or an air-brush. I should also admit, I did not make the Super Sculpy, the plate or the wall.

**Jon Burgerman Style Drawings



...in pencil. Look for Touched up illustrator versions in the near future. Same with that Bunny from Hell. Damn that Bunny.

I decided a Swamp-Creature theme would be a good place to start; oddly enough before receiving this assignment in Sketching for Comm, I'd drawn a snapping-turtle coincidentally similar in style to that of Burgerman... Weird...

The second is presumably in a house, with various household items and characters... Many characters are running from their natural predators; the dust from the vacuum and broom, the mouse from the cat, you might not be able to tell, but a table is running from another dust guy and the human is running from the fear of seeing all of this...

It was difficult for me to do this as it is out of my own cartooning style...
