Horns, Hörner, Hoerns!

Update: Alright, here we go. Here're my fellow kippers, the Super Hare-Brained Greenhoerns. World Savers extraordinaire!

Above: work-in-progress piece




I think the only thing missing here's a critter with a green latern :)


Well, they don't have a great effect on high literature but they have a profound effect on prevention of wheight gain of horrid monsters from below ground level.

o_O Great monster! I look forward for new drawings from this project.

Very cool stuff yet again. I will say one thing I noticed is that most of the creatures guide our eye right to the monster, and even the monsters body guides us to his face. I think that the duck-like creature doesn't, he seems to guide at least me stage left since he's turned away from the body. But I also can suppose that it can kinda circle around to the other creatures back to the monster, it just feels weird to me.

Just my opinions, really good stuff though, I'm impressed with how versatile the monsters are yet they all seem to fit. Great job.

Perico, Fabio! Great big thanks!

Philip! Thanks for your elaborate comment, again! To me, the duck-like critter is a "graphical mass centre" on the heros' side and a sort of hold back component in that play. Cheers!

Amazing!,You just gotta love that green big frog-looking character with horns. He probably has seen characters like that before, no stress.

I don't quite understand how that gadget works. Is it a hight tech fishing rod?

Really nice piece.

This reminds me of an interesting cross between Disney's The Mighty Ducks: Animated Series and Disney's Darkwing Duck. Great job and very cool monster thingy.
