Everything You need to know to draw the Encantato!

Encantato

Encantato

It’s a river dolphin that takes mostly human form to fornicate and dance, do you really need more than that?

So I don’t know about you guys (but i can sorta guess by level of submissions) but seems I’ve been having a hard time not having my goofy drawings take a somewhat emo bent lately… So we’re going with one that’s gonna be hard to ignore the funny, and see if that inspires us!!!

Here’s what we’ve got! They call it the Ecantato, cause its from Ecantate the mythical underwater paradise! It spends most of it’s time as a slightly larger than average river dolphin… but when the mood strikes, he can become a mostly handsome man, walk on shore and spends essentially all of his time wooing folks, dancing, drinking and yes, there is often lots of humping…

Now I say mostly handsome cause while he can look damn fine, there’s always a lil something off, like maybe a giant bulbous forehead, or a blowhole covered by a hat, or hell! sometimes his feet is just plain flippers!

So yep… hahaha… pretty sure that’s what were going with… a humpy brazillian man dolphin… hahah… 123 GO!

a quick update

Stuff’s still weird, no one’s drawing much, so I’m gonna take a lil time and bully the folks I know to fill out our Encantatos and in meantime I’m just gonna let this battle simmer for a bit and see where we end up… No reason to force this when so many other things already are… hope you all are well and for F’s sake! feel free to send a beast hahaha!

Man what kinda craziness is this? Two new beasts in two days! And another new artist even! So let’s get to it! So bravo for Shark abs, maybe a wrong direction tail and crazy hypno eyes and all while proving the point that boots vests and a feathered caps are a presentable combo in almost any sitch! it came with a request that i link out to the artists insta, my old rules say I dont link out cause its too hard to police old links, but pretty sure if you search the created by name, you’ll get there! and welcome newbie thanks for drawing!

My lord those are some finely drawn and in perspective chair legs! plus it came with this comment that made me lol a bit:
“I was going to color it, but I didn’t want to delay submission any longer. I may still color it in the future. Color would make it clear that he’s not wearing pants.”…and welcome newcomer!

You know I’m still not sure what to do with new contests just yet, but when a newcomer hits the submissions box with a dolphin beast with way too many nipples and some ultimate warrior flair, well not like I’m not gonna post it! Also feel free to add your own sock puppet/ween joke here!

So here’s a question Ive always had about personified fish folks… does one half of the fin hand function as a thumb? cause I almost like it better if they are just fins and all he can do is slap at his outfit uselessly till it rots away? All that being said, and uselss thumbs or no… he looks fine as hell!

Art always has been a way of presenting hard questions in a whole new way right? this one obviously asking… when our world is filled to the brim and our festive trees grow straight from the sea… wtf are we gonna hang our disco balls from?

Man Its been so long Im not even sure I know how to write a caption for these anymore… but i mean its got quite the rock solid and overly detailed genitalia and I mean…water born mammal, so those are obviously glued on pubes… what i dont get is how he snorts the cocaine (dont worry, I zoomed in on original, no nostrils on the ween!)…

So a few possibilities with this one… someone just got a new apple pencil for the holidays (if youve never tried, I guarantee your first pass will similarly striking!…Or and I like this even better, that I’ve left our poor beasts alone for so long the beast drawings are starting to materialize all on their own from the aether! Regardless that’s some good deep squattage!

hahaha yesss! finally another encantato! I gotta say the part I’m most curious about is the giant coloured dolphin anatomy pics…. like are there additional colors besides gray and pink? and seems a really thick book for what is essentially head, body, fins and genitals! But I mean I’d buy it!!!

think this is enough time gone to officially restart this nonsense… more on that soon!

Haha I mean it’s obviously not a swimming, smirking, penis with a Cronenberg mouth, tipping its hat in a near leering manner all whilst wearing what appears to be the colors of a south american sheep hustler… but it sure looks a lot like that and its sure making me laugh!!! Nicely done!

Godamn that is a sexily butted Brazilian dolphin man if I’ve ever seen one (i haven’t)! Something about the roundness of the curves that screams sea mamal… and there’s something sorta sisterly snaky about that neck that brings it all together… What do you kids think? about time to kick this machine back into gear? Lets say two more Encantos and we’ll, see what the world has to offer after that!

Man literally been forever and came with its own caption for out of practice me! “This is Dolpho de Gotti on a Friday night at his favorite speakeasy, The Blue Ruin. He’s just another guy looking for his doll!…. Er… Uh… Something like that ;)”… also the fit of that coat is amazing!!!

Man my conversational portuguese is for sh*t but I bet he’s asking if we think he’s sexy, and I mean with that pink river dolphin sheen, how can you say no? Also pretty great, yet faint location reference with the giant jees back there!

You know, I’m not sure whats goin on with this one… that’s def someone I know from my day job’s profile pic, cleverly modified with a dolphin mask… and it came with a caption that made me laugh, but just in case, it’s some weird vindictive play… we’re just leaving it at that!

Why yes sir! I would like to try your acid! I’m so torn between wanting that to be a pile of hair or a pile of medallions… I mean I know both makes the most sense… but I think it’s fair to say that sense went soft when those arms bent the second time!

Man our young friend back with a mindblower! I see a panicked dolphin, nurse I see the eiffel tower I see and empty wheelchair topped with an idea bulb… but… frame two… I mean is that a full on towering flaming dolphin shrine!? God I hope so!

…it’s river dolphin colored, it’s got a sweet pentagram tee/vest combo, it’s enjoying the fuck out of dancing, a sweat sprinkle like blowhole and very possible this is the best thing in the world at this moment!!!
