Well, seeing as art on this forum hasn't been as prominent here lately, I'm guessing the mods thought having two art threads would be a bit much, so here's what I'd like to call the Universal Art Thread. If you've drawn, painted, written, or done anything creative in general, post it here for comments, critique, and praise, of course!
Original post:
Well, I don't know if most of you know this but I'm an artist and I'm looking to pursue a career in art and art education.
I mostly delve into traditional art and the digital art I do is a form of digital art called "pixel art", which is done entirely on a pixel-scale level. I've been a pixel artist for at least four years, now, and I've been drawing since I was really young. I used to go by the username Dex on most websites, so you'll see that signature in most of my complete works. It's still my current handle over at the website Pixel Joint, too, if you've ever visited that site (awesome stuff there!)
In any case, I'll post some older works and some things I'm currently working on here so as to give you an idea of what I do. I'll try and keep the topic updated periodically, too!
Some older, complete pixel art:

I like :tup.

Jesus H. Christ you are incredible.
Who owns your soul now? Which deity is it?
...is it Imhotep? Imhotep will rise?
-
The paintings are lovely too, but its that pixel art really grabs me, just incredible! I've tried my hand at pixel art on occasion (mostly in the form of spriting for random game projects) and its never something I've been able to fully grasp, but you make it look easy! Keep up the awesome work :tup
-
:hefdaddy Wow. That's some amazing stuff. Keep at it - you've really got a talent.
-
Everything here is fucking amazing dude. Can you have my pixelated babies? I will send a package of my sperm cells to your house, and you can create a baby out of them using the latest in-vitro fertilization techniques. When the embryo forms can you please sprite the baby at 1000x1000 resolution and send it back to me so I can admire it? Thank you in advance, I will pay in gold.

You are really good dude. :hefdaddy

And a group of fighting game characters:

unlike my good friend Heretic I don't have the ability to make large amazing pixel arts, but i prefer to program anyways
-
Amazing as always - the one that your avatar from is great, but my favourite is probably the bridge. They are all awesome though - the one with the tree (just above the paintings) stands out.
The WIP with the guy looking up at the moon is awesome, I don't remember seeing that one before.
-
Nice stuff, man! I love the Trollcream one, and the fighting game characters are very likable.
-
Still loving the one with the Mario Pipe-pillars the best!

Thanks for all the comments and compliments, everyone!
@Mods, I'm assuming this is a universal artwork thread, now? That's kind of disappointing for me, but, it's whatever.
-
actually it's, uh, pretty confusing
-
Yeah I don't particularly see why two threads about art deserve merging, since the third was a spam topic and I doubt there would've been any others of that sort.
I mean, I can change the first post and everything to make this a universal art thread but we don't have a universal musician thread so what's the real difference? I'm kind of disappointed to hear we used to have an art board and it was removed, I'd have loved a board like that. :(
-
EDIT: actually delete this post it was dumb
-
The third was a spam topic.
I resent that. I spent a very long time on that fly.

The reason it was removed is 'cause it wasn't very active, so not many people would go there. Since its destruction, the art has ended up in the most active board - howdy! - and so you'll get a lot more passing trade - howdy!

I've never seen a sub-forum so barren as when we had the creative/art section. People didn't care.

DUDE... :hefdaddy

Shh, I'm trying to look good to the mods so we can have separate art topics, I can't let them know how amazing of a topic that was. :lol

That's unfortunate, creativity is something I'd think would be enjoyed and appreciated around here. Ah, well!
-
^It is, but because it was subjugated to its own area of the site, traffic was virtually nonexistent.
-

It was enjoyed and appreciated, its just that there's only so many talented artists such as yourself, and once everyone's shared the bulk of their work, there's just kind of a bunch of... nothing happening until new artists happen to show up :P
-
Ah, good to know. And thanks! I guess having an art topic would be a good thing, then! :)
EDIT: I've edited the first post and the topic title to be more geared towards anything creative at all! There's a poetry thread for poetry but I guess anything from artwork to writing to games can be posted here.

Here are a few things I did for an animation class or two. A year or so ago.

The top is a motion graphic thing involving a lot of typography.
The second is a flash animation.

Yes! Agreed. And you have actually inspired me to resume work on a script I've been neglecting. There aren't even any flies in it. So wahey!
-
It's funny that this thread should come up today, since I haven't really done any art in quite a while, until I started on something earlier this afternoon. Here's a WIP:
(https://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb243/Edan1266/snowy.jpg)
There's going to be more stuff on the right area that's cropped out, and she won't be an amputee forever (fuck drawing hands though (and especially hands holding other hands), seriously), but other than that this little bit is pretty much done with.
-
Totally appreciate your concerns Heretic, but I think that because there is only so much art that gets posted, keeping it all in one place will actually increase the amount of attention and traffic that it gets. The Photography thread is a good example of this - if I want to post some more, or check out other people's, I know exactly which thread to go to.
EDIT: Oh and also, your pixel art is AMAZING!

Very nice! I really like the atmosphere and the scene overall. I feel as though the jacket's shading should be a bit more volumetric and imply the form of the jacket, however. I really like the clouds and the character is very charming. Good work so far!

I completely understand, and yes, this thread should help people who are hesitant to post what they're working on in their own topics! And thank you, I really appreciate it.

Picture art is the thing I'm worst at. But I am good at admiring it.

I've seen some of that pixel art before. Do you post on the TIGSource forums perchance?

Woah, yeah I do, I've got like, 100 posts there. I don't post frequently, but I visit every-so-often. I go by 'Dex' over there.
-
Ha awesome! I don't really post at all, but it says a lot about your work that I recognized it :tup
-
dude that pixel art is fuckin rad
-
Awesome stuff in here!
Love the amputee :D
Maybe I will post some of my 100 Words pieces...
-
That pixel art is amazing, especially the current batch. The palette choices and gradients really give that distinctive look. I've always sucked at 2D, so I always respect anyone who can actually do it. :tup

Awesome, man! What kind of script is it?
Televisual! I keep on getting stuck 'cause I'm a stubborn ol' mule and refuse to outline it properly, but it's slowly growing. I think I'm gonna dedicate today to it.
Thing is, writing anything more than a note-form outline makes it feel a little like I'm squandering time I could be spending on the actual script. It just feels like a waste of words to me, even though I know - up here - that it's an important document. Best get cracking now I'm in the right frame of mind, then...
-
Your pixel art has inspired me to actually try and finish a chiptune album so I can commission you to do the album art. Its pretty awesome!
-
Well, now I feel like a completely crap artist, that work is incredible!
I only do digital art as a hobby though, I really love writing. Entered a playwriting competition and came in second this year, working on the background and lore for a book I want to do at some point in the future, and the concept for the play for next years compettition.
I also do acting, though I don't know if that falls into this thread, especially as I have no real examples to show :')
-

If you have writing you'd like to show, definitely post it! And I've acted a bit before, but not recently. I have a good friend who's big into it though.
And don't feel discouraged artistically, I want this topic to inspire you to get better!
Heretic, that stuff is amazing! You're really talented!
Ah, thanks! I really appreciate it. :)
-
Heretic, have you ever done any work for video games? Namely animated sprites?
Not looking to commission you or anything (though I totally would try to if I was making something), just curious if you have anything to show in that department!
-

Not at the moment I don't, no, I haven't really done much creative writing recently, more commercial stuff for advertising. As for acting, I admit that it's a career I'd love to get into, especially musical theatre, I'm taking Theatre Studies next year so I can live and dream :')
Well, I only tend to draw my RP characters, and I'm on an indefinite hiatus from RPing (2 and a half years straight takes it out of you), so I don't really have much to draw, though I have started on a bit of a random piece.

Whoops, I forgot to acknowledge some posts.

I've done a bit, but most of it is old and outdated. There's some stuff on my pixeljoint profile, which is in my signature, if you'd like to look at some of the old, blegh stuff! Haha.

Amazing pixel artwork. :clap:
-
Hey, your artwork is really, really well done! Pixel art always interested me, and I have seen very little done better than some of the examples that you have showed us in this thread. As for the others, it's a bit hard to fully appreciate the paintings by the camera quality, (they look like they deserve a scanner!) but you look like you're absolutely ace in that field as well. I've been wanting to get a start in art for a long time now, and I daresay you've helped to inspire me to give it a go! Well done. I'd love to see more of your material in the future!
-
I love browsing these types of threads, however I wish some people would post their writing so I can become comfortable posting mine. I've been working on a fantasy novel for quite awhile now, but I find it hard to dedicate time to doing it when I have so many hobbies and interests, let alone a girlfriend, so I don't have much spare time. I'm sitting somewhere between 60-70 thousand words at the moment, my goal is to get at least 120 thousand, but the way its setting up, it appears like it's going to be a lot bigger!
BTW, awesome pixel art. :tup

I am not an artist. This is the first thing in at least 6 or 7 years that I actually tried hard on. This took me about five hours, I think it came out pretty good. I drew it for my new lady friend who loves rabbits and plaid shirts. It's all colored pencil.

Thanks, Rich! I'm actually not too familiar with Discworld, so no, it was actually inspired by a text my friend and I wrote a good few years back about a giant turtle carrying a man across a desert :lol

Do you guys just have it in you? If not, where/how to you develop the skill?
-
Do you guys just have it in you? If not, where/how to you develop the skill?
I guess the thing to say here is practice makes perfect. I've been inspired tons by a thread on ConcepArt.org where a grown man who'd never drawn a thing before in his life began drawing and drawing and drawing and now he's a professional painting portraits and scenes that'd fit right into the Renaissance itself.
If you're interested in art and would like to get into it, my first suggestion would be to get yourself a sketchbook, some drawing pencils, ranging in different values (from H to 9B is normally good), and to start drawing from life. Draw anything around you, draw your friends, your family, your dog, your potted plant, your Mike Portnoy action figure, anything! Google online for some drawing tutorials, they'll get you into the right habit of what you need to be doing. Most every drawing starts out with some sort of basic structure/form. When I draw human beings I always start off with general shapes that signify the form of what I'm drawing-- basic cubes, circles, anything to convey structure and volume. You refine from there.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, you just have to start somewhere. I've been drawing since I was a really young lad and I've always been interested in art. Not until middle school did I start getting serious about it, and now as a senior in High School I'm looking into becoming a professional artist, art teacher, and instructor for my career. The more you draw, the better you get, but like I said, you have to start somewhere. Start off basic, start by drawing simple things from life, and continue drawing things around you. You'll eventually get a feel for what you're drawing and start developing techniques. Going out and buying various art instruction books helps as well. Constructive Anatomy by George Bridgman did wonders for me.
I'm kind of ranting without any general direction right now, but if you (or anyone else) have any specific questions about starting out I'd be glad to answer them and help you out. This thread's here to help, of course!
@Silver Tears: thank you! I appreciate it. :)
-
Whoa, thanks for the response man! Well, are there any good intro-to-art websites that you'd recommend? I'm a "by-the-book" guy, so following a manual would be best for me, at least in the beginning.
-
Here's a link to the PDF file of Bridgman's Constructive Anatomy, which is basically the greatest authority on anatomical and structural drawing. (https://www.archive.org/stream/constructiveanat00briduoft#page/n5/mode/2up)
Here are some other useful links:
https://hippie.nu/~unicorn/tut/xhtml/ <--- This should help immensely, all artists should read this tutorial. It's really helpful.
https://www.fineart.sk/photo-references/andrew-loomis-anatomy-books <--- Andrew Loomis anatomy and figure tutorials. Pretty useful stuff, although I find his methods a bit off of realistic to the point anatomy, which is where Bridgman excels, imo.
https://conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42 <--- A forum section dedicated to nothing but tutorials and art resources. It's a hefty amount of stuff to look through, but all worth it, especially the tutorials on perspective and construction.
https://www.anticz.com/heads.htm <--- Excellent head tutorial!
https://artwiki.wikidot.com/traditional-drawing-painting-links <--- A TON of art tutorials, all traditional.
https://www.rexart.com/glossary.html <--- Excellent glossary of art terms.
https://www.cedarseed.com/fire/handstut.html <--- A nice hand tutorial.
https://www.youtube.com/user/Cre8tivemark <--- A great youtube channel full of awesome stuff.

Well, crap.

This can be good in early stages of learning anything, in order to build up a technical skill. But ultimately, if you want to be really good at something, you need creativity, which isn't something you can really "learn" and is never "by the book".

Question, would you guys class make up art as being creative?

Question, would you guys class make up art as being creative?
haha ha good question Alirocker.... I hope the answer is YES... then we can declare ourselves artists as well :D
joke aside... I've made lots of oil paintings in the past... will post them later on.... After I finish writing this bloody thesis....
very good job guys... good to see some artists in DTF! keep it up... :tup

I love fooling around with make up, especially the eye shadows, blending the different colours into one another and then seeing the result, it looks nice and makes you feel good about yourself :') I'm currently working on looks for the Brides of Dracula (novel ones ^^), because I'm sick to death of seeing Twilight inspired ones :') It's amazing how different you can make yourself look!

I love fooling around with make up, especially the eye shadows, blending the different colours into one another and then seeing the result, it looks nice and makes you feel good about yourself :') I'm currently working on looks for the Brides of Dracula (novel ones ^^), because I'm sick to death of seeing Twilight inspired ones :') It's amazing how different you can make yourself look!
hey that sounds good... I've been working on gothic make ups for years....
maybe one day we can share our secrets ;)
-
It's not all completely gothic though, which is what I like. The darker haired brides I can envision as being more outwardly seductive with a lot of focus on the hypnotic eyes, whereas the blonde bride would focus more on highlighting and emphasising her lips and eyes in equal measure.
I don't really have any secrets, other than I always use foundation lighter than my skin because 1-I love pale skin and 2-I find it covers blemishes a lot better.
-
^great.. it's also amazing how we could have this girlie talk in a man-dominated forum ..lol...
-
It'll give them a chance to explore their feminine side, surely :')

make up is art... if done tastefully.. lol

Just about everything I care to share is on my website: www.hyperplexia.net and most everyone here has seen some or all of it already.
This includes my 3D rendered works which I haven't touched on in a long time, my professional work in design and my personal work in both digital and traditional forms.
Some highlights, in no particular order:

I like the face of the woman the best, interesting and very nice stuff though, thanks for posting!
And as for makeup art, if it's creative, it's art, so if it's outside the box, bring it on.
-
Wow! I'm speechless.
I like both the ideas and your style. My favourites are the last two.
-

That one is indeed cool, but just to check, you realise that those first 3 aren't photos right, they're 3D rendered graphics?
Andrew, your stuff always amazes me!
-
Glad everyone feels the same way about make up as me!
And that work right there, is beyond epic, it's simply gorgeous.

I figured this would be possible to post here.(https://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/9328_314440475584_714145584_9325767_5835226_n.jpg)

Yeah, I know, I just find my favorite to be the girl's face. It has excellent color usage, good dynamics, and it's almost a fusion of real and abstract.
It's all really good stuff though!
-
Thanks for such kind words! Glad you all like my stuff.
It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to create on my own, with work and home life keeping me very busy. In that vein, I feel I've lost a lot of what made me a personal artist.

This one blows me away! It looks like a photograph.
What 3D render software do you use?

Maya. I render with mental ray.

Maya. I render with mental ray.
I have spent a significant about of time learning Blender but have yet to produce anything of quality on it. The interface is just too cumbersome.
I've not heard of mental ray. I'll have to look that up.
-
It's a pro-level rendering engine that has an immensely powerful caustics and global illumination engine, among many other things.

^great.. it's also amazing how we could have this girlie talk in a man-dominated forum ..lol...
Aaah how did I miss the girly chat! Totally agree that make up done artistically is creative, even though I don't do it much myself.
And Hyperplex, I know I've told you many times before but your work is amazing!
-
Thanks. :)
I really need to get back into more creative mode of thinking. I actually need to design something for a friend and just haven't had any time.
It's hard to still consider myself an artist when I have created so little lately.
-
It's pretty understandable you don't have time what with a baby about :laugh:

I know the feeling. I keep telling myself to, sighing, and then wasting the rest of the day.

I just tell myself that I have to write 3000 words per week. Even if I sit down for 30-60 minutes thats going to give my anywheres from 400-1000 words depending on how inspired I am.

well half is down 7000 more to go.... I need some inspiration now....

I need to get back into writing, as well. I enjoy it immensely, and I think I'm not too bad at it.

Here's one. I was going to make it part of a book or short story, but I think it's self-contained and serves its purpose as-is.
Chairs are symbols of circumstance. An employee might, much to his disgust, be confined to a chair for eight hours doing paperwork or some other repetitive task. Conversely, a king utilizes his throne to signify his limitless power and authority. Somewhere in the middle, there are the more mundane uses, such as to eat dinner, to watch television, or to simply avoid standing. Not for James. James had no choice in the matter of his chair. He had been sentenced to death.
James sat in his chair, drenched in sweat and shaking uncontrollably. The only thoughts racing through his mind were both irrational and fragmented. Until now, he had never completely understood the concept of “your life flashing before your eyes.” He longed to relive every happy memory he had ever experienced. He wanted to see his family, to see his friends, or even to see one of his enemies. Seeing anyone would have been more comforting than what he had now. But he could see nothing but darkness and he could hear nothing but his own thoughts.
Why? Why, God,? Haven't I done enough? Haven't I suffered enough? Are you even there? God? God, don't let me die. Please. I'm too afraid. I'm too afraid of what comes next.
In a last-minute attempt of desperation, overwhelmed by fear, he tried lifting his arms with enough force to break the belts that bound him to his chair, but his efforts were futile. Even if he was able to break free, he would still have to contend with the warden, the guards, and the audience of his execution. James began to tremble so violently he could hear quiet gasps from the audience. He imagined some thought he was having a seizure. Others probably recognized it as a desperate attempt to escape, or a single outpouring of all the emotions one could simultaneously experience.
And then, in a brief series of moments, his desperate flailing quickly descended into stillness. Tears welled up in his eyes. He didn't care. There was no reason to, not now. There was no reason to care about anything and there was no point in dwelling on life or its memories, as they were all about to fade from existence.
What was will be no more. What will be...
In that instant realization, James embraced death. It was now the only thing that mattered. It was his last true adventure.
Though no one could see it through his black hood, he gave a brief smile as the warden signaled the executioner to flip the switch.

My Walk
It's said that every cloud has a silver lining. I think for most of us, this is true. Sometimes, I think, you just have to look a little harder for that silver lining.
My cloud happens to be a transmission that I can't afford to replace. The silver lining is my walk to work. I've been walking to work for several weeks now, often agitated by both the time it takes out of my schedule and by the lack of climate control. Every day is the same. Make it to the first stop light. Wait for the “walk” light to appear on the pole, then rush to cross the street. Make it to the stop sign, to the next light, and the next, and so on.
Today was different. Today, I paid attention.
For the past few weeks, I was so encumbered by the weight of my situation that I never took advantage of the fact that the world slowed down. Today, I began my walk as any other day. Perhaps it was to alleviate the feeling of repetition that my mind veered from its usual course.
I left my house and began to make my way down the street. I noticed things I had never bothered to care about. No - I didn't just notice them... I began to appreciate them. I saw my neighbors enjoying both their days off and each others' company. I saw the withered leaves losing their grasp from the trees they had known for so long. I saw dogs in their yards, burrowing into the ground, hoping to finally catch that elusive gopher.
I turned onto the busier street in town and noticed other things, as well. I saw the bustling flow of traffic. I saw drivers honking at each other because of the minor inconvenience of waiting more than a second at an intersection. I saw people who, through the wonder of automobiles, forgot about those things I was enjoying – those things that I had also enjoyed in my childhood. It was as if my attention to the smaller things in life was connecting me to that time that I yearn for so much.
When I was a teenager, I would be irritated by my grandparents' refusal to drive “five over” on the highway. I couldn't grasp the concept that they were “enjoying the drive.” Now, in my adulthood, I feel like I am connected to them, much like being awed by these little things connected me to my early childhood.
Today, during my walk, I became part of the world, rather than hurrying through it. It terrifies me to think that growing up is forgetting about everything between points A and B. You see, when the world consists only of destinations, the world has nothing to offer.

My Ride
(make sure to read My Walk, up above, first)
Eva doesn't speak English very well. She knows enough to form parts of sentences if she absolutely needs to, and she knows enough to get her job done. Her job as a cook doesn't require much interaction, so her affairs in the kitchen mainly involve the other Hispanics at work. My encounters with her tend to be brief, as I barely know any Spanish.
Sometimes speech is the least important form of communication.
I clocked out and made my way outside for what I anticipated to be a long walk. Even with my heavy jacket zipped up, the cold wind pierced it without remorse. I pulled the strings tight at the base of my hood and started walking toward the street that would lead me home. Sometimes I enjoy the walk – sometimes it's just too cold.
Eva was sitting in her van in the parking lot, apparently waiting for me to get off work. She honked at me. “Need ride?” I waved at her and nodded my head. I opened her passenger door and made my best attempt at a “Gracias.”
“Welcome,” she responded. “Too cold.” I nodded my head, yet again.
Awkward silences, for some reason, are more tolerable when neither person knows the other's language. We both knew that, had the circumstances been different, we would each have quite a bit to say. It wasn't a faulty or nervous train of thought responsible for the silence; it was our sheer inability to vocalize our thoughts to each other.
I kept my gaze fixed out my window as she drove me through all the familiar scenery I was glad to avoid that night. I saw another familiar sign for what must have been the hundredth time – the bank sign that displays the time and temperature projected a harsh 29 degrees. It reminded me of the bitter environment Eva was protecting me from. It made me wish I knew how to say more than “thank you” in Spanish.
There were the various stoplights and stop signs that took me ages to progress through. There was the 30-minute stretch of road that took us 30 seconds. There was the busy intersection where we only had to wait for a green light, rather than a “walk” sign. They all flew by in an instant, each landmark making me more and more appreciative.
I wasn't only annoyed; I was slightly frustrated. I had always seen the language barrier as a major problem, but this was more close to home than it ever had been. I tried to see things through her perspective, and my mind was somewhat put to ease when I realized her thoughts were probably identical to mine. At that very moment, she had the exact problem I had. We were both parts of separate worlds, yet our “barrier” brought us both closer to each other. We were connected by what normally set us apart.
She neared my neighborhood and began to point in various directions with an inquisitive look on her face. I responded, guiding her through several turns until we arrived at my house. I got out of her car, and, with the door still open, we smiled at each other. “Gracias,” I said, meaning it more than I'd ever meant it before.
“You're welcome,” she responded.
Before, I had been frustrated by the fact that all I could say in Spanish was “thank you.” It was then I realized sometimes that is all that needs to be said.

I am impressed!!! Seriously.. I love your style...
If you complie these into a book, please let me know... I'll be the first to buy .. and spread the word....
I've really gotton into your story.... what am I gonna read now :angry:

I was impressed by the pixel art!Wish I had the patience to do some pixel art too!Here is something i started working on some days ago.It's my favourite character from MK,Scorpion!I try to make it realistic as possible,if you look closely you might even see some pores.I paint it with no reference at all,just from my mind.I resized it down a bit.I'm working on his mask now.

Old animation to show dialogue that I still think is somewhat decent (since the first one doesn't have any)
Right now my 3D reel isn't public.

I love looking back at the beginning of my novel and see how far I've progressed. I only started it about a year ago but I got close to 80,000 words done, and in the beginning it seemed every chapter was a massive melee (for those that haven't read the thread I'm a fantasy guy) and I wasn't very strong with conversation. But in my most recent works I've developed strong conversations and have seen my characters develop a little bit but now I am lacking the action that the fight scenes brought. So hopefully I can find a happy medium.

Awesome stuff, everyone! I really like all the creativity we've gotten going. :)

WE NEED SOME SONATA UP IN THIS BITCH
no way dude my stuff is like fingerpainting compared to heretic's pixel stuff
i'm a big fan of pixel art i wish i knew how to make it
-
nonsense, Chris, your stuff is awesome.
pixel art isn't something that's all that tough to get into, especially if you have some sort of artistic background. it's all about the pixel level detail and refinement.
if you'd seriously like to get into it I could definitely lend a helping hand, and would be glad to!

i started to try to make pixel stuff last night but i'm having a bit of a time trying to figure out the ppi > canvas size i should use maybe??? because i don't think i should have to zoom in as far as i am :/
-
I actually just use MSPaint for all of my pixel art, with the occasional help of a tool from ProMotion or Paint.net, so I just use the default settings on that. With Photoshop I wouldn't know exactly what to tell you, though the farthest paint goes in is like, 6x or 8x.
I zoom in fairly far while working on my stuff, as it helps with the detail especially, namely in larger pieces.

nice piece.... :tup
out of curiosity... how do you feel afterwards? I mean having sold your art piece is sth to be proud of... but do you ever miss them???? or have you ever found yourself in a situation where you felt that it wasn't the right home for your art?

Man, all you guys are really good, haha. I made a thread a few days ago, but heres my first painting (just did it all night last Satruday).
(https://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk307/sonata216/Eros.jpg)
It's called "Eros" and it'll be part of a 3-piece I do (but I'll be doing other paintings before that)

I wish I had found this thread earlier.
This is earlier stuff I did before I graduated. Since then I haven't done any paintings. I'm changing that since I've found my life series though.

That is great stuff. I love the whole style and colour palette, and the running spacey theme throughout most of them. Definitely do more!

Wow, you guys are great. :D
I started drawing just recently... I drew a lot when I was younger, but gave up when I realized it didn't come naturally (most things did back then and I tended to give up on the things that didn't. Thankfully, I've learned my lesson.) I also managed to tell myself I was terrible at it, and I believed it for years... A while ago, I started again, inspired by other artists, and I quickly discovered that maybe I haven't a lot of talent, but there's certainly some of it. Now, I felt I wanted to share.
Sorry for the quality. The original is better, some thin lines aren't even visible on this one. But here goes:
(https://i55.tinypic.com/hv1f9k.jpg)
It's Link, of course. My version of another picture. I have yet to draw a picture without references that I'm happy with - copying stuff comes pretty naturally now but I'm way worse with drawing stuff directly from my head. (If anyone has any tips on how to get better, apart from practising, I'm all ears!)
-
I'm jealous of all of you :P I enjoy drawing greatly but suck at it. I stick to writing these days. If I were on my main laptop I'd share some but I'm not right now so :(
-
The original is better
That is too true these days.

I think I'll go ahead and take the opportunity to advertise my comic thread a bit more here (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=28146.0) :footloose: It took about 12 hours for this emote to become completely overused, huh?
Of course, it's not fully representative of my abilities, but it has its pretty moments. One of the biggest reasons I decided to start that thread was really as a drawing/writing exercise. Improvising the story as people guide it along and quickly drawing it out (or trying to anyway :lol) I find to be a great way to practice!
-
^ There's about 15 different types on win on that thread. I wish I thought of that. Therefore, i shall participate.

Thanks! And good, the more the merrier.
I'm working on the next part right now actually, should be done within the hour I'm hoping.

Ok. Here's some of my writing:
It had begun as every nightmare did: pastel flowers painted gracefully
onto a meadow side. The overgrown and lush grass danced in the wind
and the sun was shining brightly. There was a tree that sprawled up at
the sky in the middle of the meadow. Flowers and dainty leaves were
supported by a thick trunk and small blossoms fell to the ground, the
wind carrying them across the meadow so they were peppered every which
way. It was a beautiful start to a ghastly expedition of a nightmare.
Suddenly, a gray and wispy storm cloud would roll across the sun
suddenly, obscuring its gentle rays. Evie would feel herself yearning
to yell at the cloud to move away, for she longed for sunshine, but
she could never utter anything. Evie doubted that she even existed in
this part of the nightmare. But she found herself trying anyway every
time. Thunder would rumble in the distance, and lightning would fork
the sky in harsh streaks of crackling electricity. The once beautiful
blue sky was now black and clad by angry thunderheads. The rain would
begin, now, and it was as if each raindrop was acidic. One by one, the
fallen blossoms would ignite and burn anyway, along with the fragile
flowers. The grass would wilt to an ugly shade of gray green.
This is from in the middle of the story, which is why it doesn't make much sense.

Absolutely fantastic stuff from everybody here! Glad we've gotten some momentum going.
nice piece.... :tup
out of curiosity... how do you feel afterwards? I mean having sold your art piece is sth to be proud of... but do you ever miss them???? or have you ever found yourself in a situation where you felt that it wasn't the right home for your art?
It's a bit odd to let go of something you've poured your heart in soul into, but it doesn't bother me too much as I've gained experience and money all while doing something I love! Plus, I always get photos and scans of the things I'm going to sell, so it doesn't disappear altogether completely. :)

I'm not naturally artistic or anything (I can't draw worth a shit) but I do very much enjoy art. Here is a piece I ended up using in a Digital Design class I took two years ago. Done exclusively in Photoshop. It took me many, many hours due to my lack of natural ability..Many people who do Space Art use a tablet and can produce much more impressive pieces in exponentially less time, which has really been a big road block for me to put a lot of time into it.

Dude, are you kidding? That looks awesome to me!
I'm half considering getting a graphics tablet myself. I've never had one before, although I've used them and know they take some getting used to. I don't do a lot of straight up 2D work, but I do a lot of Photoshop work, including a lot of hand drawing and painting and I think it would make things a lot easier for me once I learned to use it.
Here's my local computer store I go to, which have a very limited range of tablets. The more expensive Wacom looks ok for a beginner like me, but I wanted to see if anyone had any opinions-
https://www.arc.com.au/pub.php?gid=23235&p=group
I also don't mind getting one elsewhere online, but there is the shipping cost to Australia to keep in mind. Since I'm a beginner, I don't want to spend too much on something I've never used before, but around $100 would be fine.
-
I would recommend one of the wacom bamboo series, if you can find one. The first tablet I got was an older model bamboo medium and its lasted me years without any issues. They're easy to use, accurate, and very affordable, perfect for a beginner.
Actually, since I upgraded recently, my old tablet is just kind of gathering dust. If you're interested, you can have it for just whatever it would cost for me to ship it to you. Like I said, it works perfectly, the only sign of use is the surface is worn down quite a bit (wacom tablets have a semi rough paper like surface out of the box, this old one is now much smoother).
If you're interested, shoot me a pm. ;D

Did you use a template for that, or was that freehand? Either way, it looks great.

I did a DT pumpkin one year (which turned out well, I think yours is better though), and the general reaction to it from family and friends was "That's cool... what is that?"

Really great stuff by everyone! :tup Here is the latest one by me,although it's photo manipulation,not a drawing like the one of Scorpion I posted on the previous page.I like how it looks even though I found out later that a band from Bulgary have a very similar cover.

Thanks to Edan the Man, I just received a dandy graphics tablet today. :D
Here's my first serious attempt at drawing anything. Kind of started out as a bug, but then it turned into an evil Zoidberg, I guess. :lol No shading or colour, just a basic sketch.
(https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/BlobVanDam/zoidberg.jpg)
-
Nice :lol
How does drawing on the tablet feel? Getting used to it?
-
Because I'm an impatient man, I was using it while I was waiting for the drivers to download, and it defaults to mouse mode, so it wasn't very good for drawing. :lol Once I installed the drivers and had pressure sensitivity though, it's actually a bit easier than I expected to get used to.
My only issue is that the surface feels kind of sticky, and I can't move my hand freely over it (not sure if that's because the surface is worn down a bit?), so I just taped a piece of paper over it, and now it feels really good to draw on.
I'm definitely starting to get the hang of it though, and it's a great tablet. Thanks again. :tup
-
The surface never felt sticky to me, just kind of glossy, so dunno what's up with that. You must be a sticky man, that is the only explanation.
I honestly didn't know it would work with a sheet of paper on it! I learned something new today.
-
Maybe it is just me. It's getting hotter weather here, so maybe it's sweat or something. And here is a spoiler for the Duncan's Bogus Journey thread-

I look forward to it. Duncan does not.
Speaking of, since I've been slacking on Duncan lately (yeah I suck get over it), here's some other random picture I've been working on occasionally and like most other things I start isn't finished!
Well, this part, the lineart is actually finished:
(https://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb243/Edan1266/tomo-lineart.jpg)
Yes, going for the Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts style of over the top ridiculous amounts of belts and shiny buckles! Just because I can, and because it looks cool and who cares how impractical it all is!
The coloring is of course incomplete. Its mostly just solid flat colors now, as you can see a bit of at the bottom of the actually completed face here:

I really like the face

That's looking fantastic!

Very nice stuff in the last few post!
Edan, that's looking really nice, although I feel like some of the proportions in the body of the girl seem a bit off. It might just be the head in relation to the body, though, but overall it's coming along great.

oops thanks Heretcic.. I almost missed this....
one more question if you don't mind:
would you rather have your art-piece sold to someone who pays more (and never looks at it again... it's just a show off for him...you know when people want some paintings on their factory's wall)...... or have it sold to someone who treasures your art but pays much much less (but watches your art for hours everyday)??
I'm genuinely curious... thank you!

Cool. How long have you been doing 3D for? (and what program?)
On and off for a few years. I worked through a character modelling book for Blender a couple years ago then quit for a while when I got too frustrated with being able to make things look right. Then I moved to Art of Illusion for a while and had some good results with that. But I'm now back to using Blender again. I like the new interface (I found the old interface way too cumbersome). Plus there are so many video tutorials out there that answer all my questions. I've become pretty comfortable with just the basic modelling in Blender now. I still haven't quite got my head around the materials and texturing yet, but I'll be looking forward to finding time to learn those things.
I actually started getting back into this because I just recently discovered the jMonkeyEngine 3D engine. I'm a java guy and this engine is based on the OGRE 3D engine, which I played around with a few years ago as well. I have a dream to build a simple 3D game and retire early. :biggrin: But I've always had an interest in 3D modelling going back in the early 90's when I was in my undergraduate days. I focused on advanced graphics courses when completing all my computer science requirements. I've been dabbling in it mainly on an academic level for a long time.

Sounds like fun. :hat Bringing your own 3D creations to life through code is like giving birth to a child, except without the immense vaginal pain.

I'm nowhere near as amazing as all these gorgeous color and CG (aided) art....and I too drool over pixelwork....but, I have sketchbooks full of tempting women- I draw mostly when I'm inspired and do tend to stick to a fantasy or vintage pin up style, as I used to design tattoos.

The first part of a writing I've been working on. This is the very first draft of the very first part of it. I hope you all like it/give some constructive feedback!
The Legend of Leelanau County
Summer time. In Leelanau County, Michigan, that usually meant one of the two things: cherry farming or tourism. Today, however, was not the case for me. The July mid-day sun was heavily beating down on my back. "The heat wouldn't be so bad..." I thought "...if it wasn't so freakin' humid out". It was only for a brief moment that the thought garnered my attention; I had a job to do. On my left hand was a black leather Nike fielder's glove and a baseball in nearly mint condition in my right. Today, cherries and tourism were not the job for Christian of Leelanau County, Michigan.
A nameless batter stood down range from me. The count was two strikes and two balls. Two well placed fastballs, one on the inside corner and one on the outside corner, accounted for the two strikes. However, a misplaced change-up and missed slider made up the two balls. Sweat was profusely running down my face in the hot sun, thanks mostly to my long thick dark hair keeping my head most annoyingly warm. Sunflower seed shells were scattered all about the mound and my feet. My left cheek was filled to capacity with the salty snack. As I stared down towards my target, I ejected another shell from my mouth and fixed my coveted and worn New York Yankees hat upon my head. I liked the hat tight, it kept my hair out of my eyes. One last time I wiped the sweat from my brow with my right forearm and refocused the intimidating stare I carefully cultivated at the batter. After a couple of quick pitching ideas were suggested, the decision was made for the pay off pitch - fastball, down and away. Planting my right foot down forcefully, I went into my wind up. Left hip guiding my left foot forward, I pivot my body and sling a fastball as hard as my body will allow me to throw. "WHACK!" came from the stacked logs of an old dead tree as the baseball crashed against. A perfect strike.
It was the last baseball I had on me. The elation of the perfect strike was quietly subverted by the thought "Crap, where did all of the other balls go?" I carefully tip-toed through my backyard, dodging where my dogs had used the bathroom over the previous weeks. As I carefully collected the balls, I gave a quick glance over my patio and at the backdoor of my house. True to form, my biggest fan, Sophie was standing there staring at me. She was a yellow-lab, with a golden fur coating that glistened in any light. At less than a year old, she was a puppy in the truest sense of the word. I waved at her with my glove hand and gave her a quick smile. Usually she just watches me pitch outside, but this time she was wagging her tail impatiently at me. "I guess it's time for me to go back inside". After entering the back door, Sophie runs to grab her favorite blue ball and brings it to me. I have no excuse now, she caught me red-handed throwing a ball outside and she wants to play. Before I get the chance to clean myself off, a game of catch with Sophie completes the ritual. And it was just that - my summer 2011 ritual of pitching.
That's it for now, but I'm fairly proud of that. I know there are parts that could be worded better, but I think the visual it paints is fairly humorous.

Thanks Stonestef, I'm one of those reckless people who always draws in whatever pen is laying around- never was one for sketching, so things like that tend to happen (part of the reason I never finish anything), but I can definitely say I'm improving!
@ Heretic, Funny, I went to about 2 semesters of AI here in CA, and took a total of one preliminary figure class- Our professor wouldnt even let us place the 'skin on the bones' to say, and made us spend the entire semester doing frame work with cylinders and movement lines....I was so frustrated it put a complete distaste for 'art education' in my head and I never finished art school. I have since refused to use models or reference when drawing. When the mood hits I just draw whats in my head, the emotions and setting kind of naturally inspire the movement- but not without its flaws as Stonestef pointed out.
I must upload some of my darker stuff, and my male pieces (mostly werewolf in nature) sometime. Heres a few older pieces. Believe it or not I do not lean towards the fae and angels....haha- thats just usually what people commission for their tattoos!

Right now it probably has at least 4-5 hours or work on it, but it's nowhere near complete. Lots of refining and detailing to do yet, pixel art is incredibly specific and intimate, as you probably know, haha. By the end it'll have a lot more hours than that. :biggrin:
-
Nowhere near complete? Waiting to see it finished! Also, I just now saw your sig, I'm now watching you on DA!
Here is an evil Flash I'm doing for a contest. The eye irises are not exactly circular but I'll fix that.

That's some amazing work there Stonestef!
Seeing as I haven't posted anything up in a while, here you go, my design for a tattoo :3 I still want to incorporate Pain of Salvation in there somewhere whilst keeping it relatively balanced, but I'm not sure what to use :3 Also, the curl near the bottom doesn't quite flow into the thinner Perfect Circle curve and I'm struggling to fix that
(https://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq269/alirocker08/Tattoomebbeh.jpg)
By the way, does anyone know where I can find a good, thick, rolling smoke tutorial for Photoshop, think the smoke monster from Lost :3
-
That is a great tattoo design. I wish I could incorporate all 5 of my bands into one, but it could never happen. So glad you were able to do it smoothly. And despite what you say I think the swirl at the bottom of the thinner APC curve actually looks good. Don't change anything.
-
Thank you, that means a to me :3

I wrote a short story last week called Hit And Run and I am currently adapting it into a screenplay, as I hope to be turning it into a short film either during film school or after film school. The story is a little over five-thousand words, so if I were to post it, I'm assuming I would have to post it in two or three chunks, right?

Almost done! Just needs clear coat!

Oh my god that canoe is BA. spraypaint for the win!
My girlfriend says to me one day that she would love to see how I would draw her. She loves how I draw and paint, so I say, "sure, when do you want to pose?". She then tells me she would rather see how I think of her, not how I view her in real life. So, I found this large sheet of paper that's been lying around the 'studio' for god knows how long, and I begin. At first I was all, meh, but then I fucking blew up in creative passion!
Here's How I view her:

Funny stories behind this drawing, but I'd rather let you fine people enjoy it for now.
-
Looks great man, and knowing that there is a special meaning behind it makes it even better. What was your girlfriend's reaction when she saw it?
-
When she saw it she didn't know what to make of it at first, haha. After she took it all in, she said that it was amazing, told me she loved me and then she kissed me.
I must have done something right :biggrin:

You should get this book:
(https://www.esly.net/web_img/subpageimages/New%20Folder/book_anatomyjosephsheppard.gif)
It goes into great detail on all the bones, muscles and features. chapter three is essentially the hand and nothing else. It helped me get a handle on hands, maybe it can help you too.
-
^Good rec, also get Constructive Anatomy by George Bridgman, the essential work on anatomy and construction in my opinion.
-
I will check them out, too. I have Dynamic Anatomy by Burne Hogarth which helps you a lot with posing your characters. And I also have about 17gb of video tutorials with Vilppu. He goes through everything. You can find some on youtube.
-
Dynamic Anatomy is an artist's essential book IMO. it is like having SFAM as a must for any DT fan. It's expected to have.
By the way, here are some other Visceral sketches I've done:
"An Angel" (featuring my girlfriend)

Nice style man, I especially like the third one. Those random (not sure if it's the right word) drawings seem easy to do but when you try it, you realize it's a bit difficult to come up with something interesting. Here is something similar by me, I don't think I have posted it before.
(https://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=291328)
-
Random is a good word for it. My work is very visceral and instinctual by nature, so for some to call it random is expected and complimentary. So thank you. :biggrin:
Your work is very much "Giger meets Burton" kind of feel. The face almost reminds me of both Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and the face from Brain Salad Surgery by ELP. I really like the form and shape, but, as constructive criticism, I recommend integrating the same amount of detail shown in the base into the rest of the form. It feels more unified that way. Otherwise I really like it. :tup
-
I'll definitely check out those books, ask my dad to get them for my birthday :3
And awesome work as ever Stonesef! And the detail that goes into your sketches Throughhereyes is bloody amazing!
-
Here's a quick noodle around of Optimus Prime I drew. Probably about an hour of work on the graphics tablet. Turned out pretty good for a rough sketch.

It upsets me greatly that you can class that as a 'quick sketch', that's bloody awesome!

But I am looking for someone to help design and create artwork for my musical projects. If any of you would be kind enough to work with me, please send me a PM. Obviously good photoship skills are good as well as a creative mind. I'd really appreciate it.

Sports is a sub-forum of this, :lol

It was about time someone posted something new! I'd like to see it colored!

Thanks, stonestef. More than not it takes "bump-for-art" jesus to get everyone back in the mood to create something. People don't create as often as they should. Hopefully by the beginning of next week I can have a new visceral done. It's looking really good so far.

Nice! I'll be waiting to see it! I've been working on two things but they both still need a lot of work so I 've got nothing to post for now.

Yeah, I know the feeling. More than not I'd like to post something that I've done rather than just talking. But hell, it's a forum, why not.
So in the meantime I think I'll just post the works of artists I like.

I made a table in school probably 3 years ago and painted this on free hand.
-
I like! Freehand is hard to do, but you do it very well! The only thing I'd critique is the way the A and E at the end have different angles for the curvature ends. Otherwise I really like it, and I'm not even an Alterbridge fan. :tup
-
Jarlaxle,I hadn't seen that. Good work, especially for freehand! Here is something I am still working on, started mostly as a devil kind of thing but ended up more of a faun. He also has a body which is pretty much completed. I'm working on the hair now. What I like about him the most is that I started with no idea about what to do, my brother's wife just wanted me to start anything so she could see how this program works (ZBrush for anyone interested). So, what started as something random that was supposed to take only 10 minutes of my time, ended up being something that I am proud of and eventually spent 3 days on.

:o those are amazing!

Thank you! The first picture is darker than it is in real life, unfortunately, so you can't see the table and all of the doily. My mother was speechless, though!
-
This is my submission for a contest that requested a creature technologically enhanced, something like a cyborg. The model is 3d, the flames and the smoke were added later with Photoshop.

:omg: And that only took an hour?? I wish I was talented.
-
I wouldn't call that talent, just technique and software knowledge.
Thanks, though.
-
Pffft call it what you want, to me that looks like talent. Either that or it's a tiger, I can't quite tell.
-
It's a talented tiger, what with the walking from a two-dimensional plane into real life and all that bidnesz...
-
Clever kitty.
-
I'm trying to finish this picture but I need a decent forest reference, along with references for what certain colours would look like at night
-
Hyperplex, thanks for bringing Orbert to life.
-
Alirocker, I recommend watching ET. For two reasons, A) the forest in the beginning and throughout is used very atmospherically and in both light and day. You can get a sense of color and contrast between lighting and texture. and B) it's a great movie.
-
...I've never ever seen ET and we don't own a copy :(
-
Nice picture, Hyperflex!
...I've never ever seen ET
:omg:
-
I also only just watched Pochahontas for the first time whilst babysitting my niece. I was a deprived child.
-
...I've never ever seen ET and we don't own a copy :(
...all the more reason to see it. But for the love of god, GET YOUR HANDS ON A VHS COPY. DO NOT WATCH THE DVD> Spielberg got a George Lucas complex and changed how ET looks from the original.

Haven't they ever released the real version on DVD at all?! :(
Even Lucas managed a half-assed version of the original movies on DVD.
-
I DON'T HAVE A VHS PLAYER!
-
IN THAT CASE just watch the DVD it's basically the same forest. Good use of angles, too. You'll like it.
BTW: finally finished that fucking drawing I've been stuck on.

Never stop what you do Heretic. S'looking good man. Are you working on any other works atm?

Nice work, guys! ThroughHerEyesDude6, that drawing is the one you talked about on the top of this page, right? Came out great!
-
Thanks Stonestef. I should be starting on a new one soon. I'm thinking more anthropomorhpic figures and shapes like the one before soundscape, but it's mostly whatever comes to mind.
Alternately, I'll be starting some work for this one show called Roxibition. I can't give anything away more than it's not a traditional art show, but it's gonna be awesome.

Oh, that tiger is NICE.

Working on a portrait of one of my characters...Why did I choose to give her my fringe?

Looking forward to seeing the finished product, Ali. It's evident you've grown :tup :tup
-
Thank you! I spent like a year not developing one bit, it's quite embarrassing really :')
-
Haha, there is no such thing as embarrassment in art. At least to me there isn't. It took years for me to get over the sideview and start experimenting with full face, three-quarter turns and odd angles therein. But for the love of god don't leave it for another year! I like seeing anyone's art. Great, misunderstood, simple, abstract, whathaveyou, I love to see it.
So, pwease down't stowp. I wike it. :)
-
Fine I wont stop :) I haven't done much this year because of exams and everything taking precedence, but thank you for the encouragement :)
-
S'all good, Ali. Encouragement I have a shitton of...terrific ideas, not so much :justjen
-
You're way better at portraits and computer art than me. That pic is going to look great.
-
Looking good so far!
-
That's sick. It needs something else more though. Maybe have the tiger stepping onto a crowded city street or something.
Thanks. I get what you mean, but I was really just trying to keep the detail in the picture frame. That and I really wasn't considering it a total piece. I would like to revisit the technique to create a more detailed image later on, though.
-
Thanks for the support you guys :) I want to get it finished but progress is literally at a crawl for the moment, I've only just started shading the other side of the neck :')

I think everyone will recognize this guy. I once again tried a more realistic approach (that's what I like doing!). He is complete but my machine can't render the whole body because it is over 10 million polygons. I'm getting more RAM next week so I believe I will be able to render a full body pose.

:omg: :metal :metal

How do you guys have that much patience to put out work like that, there's so much detail!
Can you guys help me? I think the sketch for the nose looks off slightly, but I just can't put my finger on it. I think it may be something to do with the nostrils- First they looked too thin and short, now they look too large

I don't mean any offense with this, but you seem really into artwork for your music. I've noticed that even 30 second compositions of yours get rather detailed and well done artwork.
Ever think that you should go more into the artwork domain?

So I've started a little webcomic this summer. I was just posting them on my facebook but then some of my friends told me to make a blog with them so I made a tumblr account for them. I wouldn't put myself in the same league as Feel Afraid but they're ok.

The web comics are so cute :)
I finished, the nose still looks a tad long but what the hell :)

Edit: Shortened the nose a little!

:clap:
-
I like your signature, Alice. :) The art is fantastic as well, of course.
-
I have different signatures for different things :) I have a pointy one for exam stuff, a big flowy one for art, a slightly rounded one for bank stuff, I really need to sort it out :') But thank you, it's a lot better of the last portrait I did of her!
-
I like what you did with the face! Good work. I didn't really think the nose was long until you pointed it out...meh, still good :) :tup
-
Thank you! I'm most happy with the hair myself, she looks like she's just come from the eighties or something :')
-
That's really epic.
-
Only in comparison to my other stuff :')
-
Hey that's pretty cool Ali, good job! How long have you been doing/using that sort of style?
-
I'm not sure really :') I started off in like...2008 doing anime but as I got older I decided I wanted to do a more realistic style. It's been in sort of a mid way between cartoonish and realistic since 2010, it's only really become realistic since last November
-
alirocker I really like your finished work but this earlier version:
(https://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq269/alirocker08/Titaniaprogress.jpg)
Is pretty sick, Japanese style horror, beauty and disfigurement.
-
I'm afraid I don't quite follow :)
-
I think it looks like it belongs to a Japanese folklore horror genre imagery, most people aren't very familiar with it but the art has translated into games like Silent Hill and movies like The Ring, Japanese creations.
Stuff like this:

-
Ah, I get you! I'd love to experiment with that idea more actually, it just doesn't work with that character :)
-
Let me ask you a dumb question, did you draw the basic structure of that by hand and then scan it to work on it? Or did you draw it on photo shop like by using the mouse to draw?
-
I drew the basic face shape in one of my text books really small, so I wouldn't be able to scan it, so I dumped it on my graphics tablet and traced it instead :') Then I just worked on the basic structure, so eyes, lips, nose and stuff on the computer
-
here's something quick that i made tonight... i planned on making this a release and it's also based on the Batman Games [Arkham Asylum + Arkham City]

-
Dude lookin good. Any chance we can hear the music as well? I'm titlated to hear it.
Also, I have some good news for you guys. I got accepted to my first art walk!! It's in Columbia, IL near St. Louis, MO.
-
Congratulations! Although,I've got to ask... what is an art walk? :huh: ::)

An art walk is when a bunch of artists, usually from one or more areas, get together on a boardwalk set up by the city to promote the art scene in the town. Anyone can apply as long as they cover the fees. You set up a 10x10' tent, hang or display your work, and hope that it sells. It's a great way to get exposure and see some really good work. There are tons of places that do it, and you might have seen one in your town. Almost everywhere has an art guild of some sort.
-
Hmm, I should make some more art, again.
Old stuff:

That was a concept of a drawing I made when I was 14:

As you may've noticed, I'm very detailed, very sleek, but I'm having trouble with shadows and lighting. In some ways it shows a certain style, like that neon-like city, though.
-
Damn i've been on a roll for making artworks lately :P!!.. i've just finished this one but i made "two different" version of it and don't know which one is better so here it is...

Sounds nice! Yeah,reading your description I know what it is but I didn't know it goes by the name "art walk". I hope you do well! Good luck!
May I ask everyone posting on the thread to give feedback to the others posting? When you post your work, I believe you want to hear something,a compliment or critique. I know I do. I'm not saying that some fake "yeah,looks great..but look at mine!" is good, but a critique on what looks bad or what could be improved is better than being ignored, don't you think? I'm not pointing on someone specific, I just make a proposal.

The perspective on that one is incredible :) I also like the first guitar you posted, the second one looks a little off somehow, but it's still better than what I could do :)
Damnit Timeless stop being so good at this kind of thing. I prefer the second :)

That is a great used to neutrals. The atmosphere makes this, entirely. To me, it feels steampunk without the over use of gadgets, cogs and assorted pipelines you would see in typical constructions. Have you ever thought about leaving the cheese alone and working with a varied composition and arrangement (ie: motion and fluidity within the picture)? It's very linear.

Using Google's search-by-image, I've found that all of the images you've used for these album covers are different wallpapers and pieces made by different artists. It's okay to use the images as album covers, but I don't like that you're claiming to have created every image from scratch.

the "angel of death" one (since you can't hotlink from deviantart) https://magnaen.deviantart.com/art/Quetzalcoatl-194983861
None of these were created by the same artist and it would be absolutely fine for you to use these images in your album covers if you stated that you were using other artists' work, but otherwise it's not right.
-
Ouch.
I feel like it's the Ab guy all over again.
-
Yeah, that's why I asked. I found the photo with the crows but I didn't want to jump to conclusions so that's why I asked what he had made. And then I found the "angel of death" via Google Images.
If you take a picture and just put the letters and make some color processing, you've got to give credit where it's due. Someone put effort into creating this and deserves to be credited. I like the color processing you did on the "angel of death", in fact I like yours more than the original. If you had stated that you only did the processing, it would still look cool, you didn't need to lie. Stealing other people's art work is unprofessional.
-
Yea, I just read where he actually claimed to have made it all. I missed that before.
Not cool. I actually pointed out how much he ripped off Nightwish in one of the samples he posted, dunno if he responded to it.
How should we handle this guys? Lynch mob? I say lynch mob.

work in progress pixel!

Very, very, nice. May I ask how much time that took to make?

That is so tranquil. Love it.

Do you draw those by hand on paper and then scan them? Or do you do the whole thing on the computer?
-
Very, very, nice. May I ask how much time that took to make?
At the moment I'd probably say at least 15+ hours. I work on my pixel arts at random times, and usually at night when I have free time. Sometimes I'll sit down and have a legitimate session where I get a lot accomplished, but at the stage it's at now, basically only refinement and pixel-level detailing needs to be done. And thank you, I really appreciate it. :)
That is so tranquil. Love it.
Thanks! That was definitely the feeling I was going for...perhaps a sense of intrigue and wonder as well. :biggrin:
Do you draw those by hand on paper and then scan them? Or do you do the whole thing on the computer?
There's been a few pixels that I have sketched out beforehand and scanned, but most of the time I don't. What you see here was done in MSPaint from scratch-- I started the sketch with my tablet, and then once I have most things the way I want them, I use the mouse to do the detail work. It's still got a decent way to go, too!

Man, I wish I were visually creative.

Aha. As I was looking over the images it was confounding me as to how the imagery was so strong yet the type was so weak. Now it all makes sense. For shame.

You certainly got the intrigue there. It feels very elvish.

Would anyone be interested in doing a commission piece?
Bf's and my anniversary is the first week of December, so I'm looking for a present for him. I would like some sort of portrait of us, something we could frame and put on the wall.
Does not matter if it's sketched, colored in, painted, etc. Just looking for something amazing. Also okay if more than one person wants to do one, we are looking to decorate the house.
-
If you don't mind a pencil drawing that isn't totally perfect, I would most definitely be up for it.
Here are the previous pencil style things I did (many years ago) if it is good enough.

I am so happy i get to see new art work on this thread. I am sporting a tremendous woody over this resurgence of art in DTF. :biggrin:

Me,too! Let's keep posting!
This is work in progress of Deadpool(a comic book hero for those that don't know). The video is 5 minutes long but it is about 2 hours in real time. I'll probably finish it tonight. I hope you like it.

That's incredible!
Doing my first picture of a guy for two years, the lack of boobs makes it so difficult :(
(https://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq269/alirocker08/James_zps36aa6ff4.jpg)

The overall form is looking good, but the main problem I see is the arms/shoulders. They'd be fine for a female, but they're disproportionally small for a guy. Aside from that, it looks like a pretty good start to me, although I'm no expert on drawing humans. :)
-
Thanks blob, I'm trying to beef him up a little whilst colouring :)

Loving the flow that's going on here.
@alirocker - don't be afraid to go all Bane on him, drippin that muscle sauce!
@stonestef - Looking nice. Sporting a nice woody thinking how it'll look in the end. :tup

Do you have a close up of the that looks like something burning up in the atmosphere?

Woo THEDude that's great! I love being in art shows, such a fantastic feeling when you inspire others or get people talking about something you've created. We totally have to collaborate someday, sir.
I've currently been oil painting A LOT for college so hopefully I'll be putting some stuff up soon.

Here's two oil paintings from the past few weeks in class.

This one was done using a palette of only orange, blue, white, and black; orange and blue are complementary colors, which makes for an awesome contrast in the image.

A quickie landscape that utilizes space and contrast through color.

I think I've said this before Heretic, but my dream is to become a published author, and if I ever do I could see myself asking you to do the cover art for it. I have such an appreciation for the beauty of nature, like lakes, woods, mountains, and you seem to share that same appreciation. I love all of your work!
-
Ali, I think it looks awesome. Not all guys are so buff like Bane. Very nice. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I can see what Blob was getting at, the neck is/was too roided in comparison to the arms, I'm fixing it in-between 3000 word essays :P
Heretic, it's not fair, I can't paint for crap yet you can paint and pixel!
-
Digggin the oil painting, and major props for it too. That's a really hard medium to work with.
Ali, you should paint for fun. Painting for crap isn't nearly as much fun. But on a serious note, who says you have to paint literal work? abstract is just as mesmerizing.
As for me, I am finishing up a drawing. Should be done soon. Pic to come.

Sorry, by 'paint for crap' I meant that I can't paint, it seems to be bit of a english/northern phrase :) I have to say that I've never really tried abstract work before, I don't really get the time, especially using a medium other than my tablet!
-
Abstract is hella fun. Next time you get a chance, draw or construct something random. Doesn't have to make sense in the beginning. Once you have the basic structure, you can create anything from it. For example.
SDOfijawe9rggvsoirngf.
SD Of i jaw e 9 rg gv so i rn gf.
SAD of I jaw enter 9 rage grave so i ran girlfriend.
Sad to say, of course I knew him. I always knew him. My jaw dropped when I entered the room and found his body. He was stabbed nine times. I flipped. I went into a rage that night. It was unforgivable what she did to him. Now, here at his grave, I knew I couldn't take it anymore. So I ran. I knew his girlfriend would come looking for me.
It's all about letting the subconscious take the wheel.

Here's an album cover I finished this evening for a friend of mine.
(Cecelia, I've got your thing all drawn out, I'm going to paint it over the next few days, so it should be done soon. I hope you will like).
-
Interesting. What type of music was it for?
-
Well, the previous stuff done in this project is ambient noise/drone, but this album is going to have some prog influences as well as east Asian/middle-eastern and Indian influences too. The few tracks I've heard of it are pretty hard to describe.

master copy done in painting class, was actually pretty happy with how it turned out for only getting part of a weekend to do it!

I like it.
To me, it represents the mind in search of answers but arriving to find more confusion and questions than originally perceived. A man atop a cliff's edge only gets there by travel. In one's travels, they search for knowledge, truth, and the answers to any questions, however intricate or simple, they may have. Now we find our traveler with a clear vision of muck and opacity. We merely see the tip of the iceberg, or mountains, if you will. It gives a little push to dig deeper but ultimately finding nothing we didn't know before. It's an urge to push.
I kinda want to push him off the ledge.
With technique in mind, it's pretty good. Very Rococco in color and flair. The use of neutrals make it gritty enough for me to like. Just work on your definition on form and space and you've really got something.
-
I absolutely love that analysis, man, you should do that more often. Thanks!

Thanks man. I've never been the best at voicing my opinion or analysis about anything other art. Hell, try asking me about the weather and I'll say, "It' looks blue outside"...yeah.
But thanks anyway. Any more pixel art on the horizon?

If memory serves me correctly, that is "Wanderer On The Mists" or something like that, am I correct? I recognize it. Beautifully done, I really like it.

Here's a riddle disguised as a poem that I wrote:
They won't even talk to me
But at least I have you
It is too heavy a price
But I'll pay it for you
And before I lay down tonight
You'll bring me a euphoria I am all too familiar with
And I'll hate myself for this again
But, I'll rest easy
Because of you

Yes sir, I'm currently working on a large-ish piece for Secret Santa over at another forum I visit. I'll post it when the gifts are given out! I also have a few other paintings I need to get good pictures of. Along with that, I'm working on my painting final for this semester at the moment, which I am really looking forward to finishing. Lots of stuff on the horizon.

I really love this new laptop, but I did something for my Secret Santa today on Photoshop, and what should have been a half an hour to an hour long job ended up taking me 2 hours because my Graphics tablet was being painfully laggy. Updated the driver, but I haven't tried it out again yet, hoping for the best! If not, I may just buy a new one, I've had this one for almost two years now and the poor thing's beginning to show its age.

@ThroughHerEyesDude, loving that last one! Collages are tough to make work, but I think you definitely pulled it off, and well.
As Heretic said, that last collage is radular.
Thanks guys. It took hours of prep, but once I figured out how to make it work it was like butter. Looking forward to both your work in the future.
Edit: Chino, I'm impressed. Do you make models?

I used to do a lot of model train stuff when I was a kid and I currently build R/C cars. That's about it.
-
I won't lie, I'm a sucker for models. Microcosms in general are a fascination to me. If you have pictures of them I'd love to see them.

Now that it's Christmas eve and the gifts have been posted at another forum, here's my secret santa piece I made.

Heretic strikes again! If only you had a bigger version of it. I would make this my wallpaper in seconds. This is truly good work.

It still looks pretty great as a wallpaper ;D
Heretic, truly amazing, you're one of my biggest inspirations as a pixel artist and artist in general, each work of yours blows me away!

I don't have any of my train stuff :( I didn't have a digital camera at the time (not even sure if they were really out yet). I do have a few of some of my RC stuff.

Thanks for the follow Sketchington, back at you!
As for the picture, you'll like the bio.
My mom says the dumbest shit. I mean it, the dumbest shit.
One time, my brother tried waking her up, but she wouldn't budge. He say he was scared. So, she said, "GO BITCH TO SANTA CLAUS!"...
One time, she wouldn't let go of a red crayon. She wouldn't let it go for the life of her because she thought it was so important. to this day, we call that a 'Red Crayon Moment'...
My dad's a very intelligent person, so one time, mom described his birth as such: "HE WASN'T BORN, HE POPPED OUT OF A DICTIONARY!"...
One time, she said, "HOW DOES THE FLOOR TASTE?? YOU WON'T REMEMBER CAUSE YOU'RE STUPID!"...
One time, she and my sister were having a discussion about prostitutes and women who sleep around. Thusly, she said, "I CAN'T BE NICE TO A SLUT!"...
One time, my mom wanted to describe being in a jacuzzi, or some shit. So, she said, "IT'S LIKE SWIMMING IN JELL-O!"
This painting is a commemorative compilation of her craziness. It now resides on her wall.

Do any of you guys ever have trouble translating what you have in mind into a finished product that you're satisfied. I'm trying to get a costume design for one of my characters from my head down onto paper (well, Photoshop) and I have the base cracked, it's just putting the clothes on in a way that fits and works without the base being present, whilst still looking quite sketchy and drafty.
I'm making up words now, I'm sorry.

Believe me, you probably have way more talent than I do. My talent is music and writing. I tried to draw or do any visual art at all, and failed completely every time.
Sad really, I have some cool ideas for paintings that I wish I could do.
-
I have some advice, but I'm not very good at explaining things with words. I'm much better with images. I would recommend starting with the figure, or body, before thinking about the outfit. If you want the body to show off the fashion in a particular way, you need the stance to be spot on. Then, find where the clothes hang. Let gravity work with the idea. Then, sketch as best you can.
It's as good as I got, and it pretty much sucks. If I were you, just keep trying until something magical happens.
Yeah, not very good with words.

There was a chimney stack in the way :( I took them at the Whitby Regatta, that's just the one that turned out the best :')

Not familiar with the Whitby Regatta. As an American, the only main "regatta" I'm personally familiar with is a Cub Scout event with handmade pinewood boats about 6" long powered only by lung-power.
But looks like a good time nonetheless.

It's essentially a big party in Whitby, and it was followed by Folk Weekend this year, absolutely amazing!

By the end of today I should have a new painting done. It's due tomorrow, so shit better be done. I'm painting an owl for my mom's friend. Picture snowy owl, perched on rock in summertime tundra in the arctic. Trying to go more realist in this one, prolly come out more sketchy and rococo...and I hate rococo.
Wish me luck, or else! :neverusethis:

Thumbs up, sir! Looking forward to it.
Also, if you all haven't been able to tell, I've updated my Doctor avatar about 343243 times.

Actually, I didn't. So is that his 343243rd reincarnation? :neverusethis:

-
Haha I guess it would be. And that came out really nice! Wish you could get a higher res picture!
Also-- personal pet peeve: taking pictures of paintings or drawings never makes them look exactly like they do in person. It's unfortunate because you can't see some of the artistic qualities of paintings and drawings when they're just photos. I've also noticed with drawings that it's hard to get a perfect picture of the drawing as well.
-
I agree entirely. Based on what type of lighting you have when you take the picture, the resolution can be grainy, bright or unbecoming. When I took the picture, the first thing I did was upload it to Photoshop to get it as close to the original as possible, and that's harder than my ding-dong on any given Sunday. Also the sharpness of the photo is dependent on the type of camera you have. I have this small camera. It's good, but not what I need. I need a canon or Nikon that will get the details I need to focus on. I think I'm gonna buy one soon.
But in short I know how you feel. Thanks for the kind words.
When can we expect the next one from you, Heretic?
Sketchy? Anything coming down the pike?
-
Well, at the moment, I've got a couple of album covers for re-releases of more Ezra Yates stuff that I'm slowly working on, but I kind of need the jobs I've been looking at to reply to me (and then give me money so I can buy some watercolours), so at the moment, my painting is mildly on hold, so I'm making use of the time to record stuff that I've had in the pipeline for three years.
As I said on the other interweb medium: that owl is awesome (this time with a lower concentration of pun).

This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXQke12I1B8) was my mid-term final in animation. The assignment was to do a 30 second "music video" with one of a number of .wavs the teacher had us draw from a hat. Most of those were actually really cheezy poems about different colours, all by the same random dude. I drew Black, and did the entire thing (plus a credits scroll).
Got 110% on it.

I really hate how much free time I lack, I'm trying to work on a picture at the minute and I haven't even gotten past the line art stage. On the other hand, it means that when I do come back to it I can find a lot of things wrong with it, that I can re-adjust before I go to the next stage. I've scrapped my style of line art twice already.
Hopefully it'll be done before next year, I just want it to look good :(

CROSS-POST from the Doctor Who thread:
My final project in Drawing I this semester was the task of drawing all eleven of the Doctors (from Doctor Who). It was an arduous task, and it left me with little free time, but the result was something I'm quite proud of. My father and I built a TARDIS-frame to frame the Doctors in, and it was a huge hit at college. Everyone loved the drawings, and the TARDIS just added to that.
Anyways, here's some photos. They're taken with my phone, so they're not the best quality, but they give you the general idea. I'll get detailed pictures of all the Doctors later on after the assignment is graded in whatnot.
(https://i.imgur.com/e2oOeXU.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/OpcIy5y.jpg)
I used prismacolor pencils for the drawings. They are a type of colored pencil that are specifically made for art, and they're very high quality. I tried to express the character of each Doctor through their expression and the colors used, and I feel like they're all quite unified. In any case, I thought you guys would appreciate this!
-
That's really good!
Decided to redo the face on that picture I'm doing. I mean, come on, it's not like I have exams or anything. Lips, eyebrows, and ears all need to be redone/finished, and once that's done I have to tidy up the rest of the skin as I upped the resolution, then I can get onto the hair again- Yay? I mean, it already looks a shit tonne better than the last picture I did.

Haven't checked this thread in a good while for whatever reason, but because I think you have definite potential, ali, I'm going to provide some constructive criticism for that image.
Alright, so first thing's first. Construction! We construct when we draw. Heads are one of the most construct-able things in the world-- faces can have so much variation, allowing us to create any sort of character or feeling through utilizing facial features! One of the most important things to realize about the face is that it is very, very complex, and has so many layers.
When I draw heads and faces, I like to look at the face as a series of complex plains. You'd probably hear that from any art teacher, too-- looking at the face in such a manner helps us to visualize where on a face features are located and how the underlying structure (in this case, the bones in the skull) creates the outer form.
When first drawing heads, people usually see them as ovals-- this isn't really true to form, however. The head is very much akin to a cube, actually-- George Bridgman in his books on constructive anatomy speaks on how the planes of the face attribute more to being cube-like rather than similar to any sort of sphere. Each piece of the face is essentially on a different plane, and this allows dynamic form and three-dimensional space to be implied when drawing. While we can construct the cranium in almost an oval-shape, the rest of the head is much more like a cube.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mz2rrBZ3uX4/UGBbDp9OwjI/AAAAAAAAERM/ivIs7xm9x9s/s400/Plane.Heads.Man.vsm.W.jpg)
(https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/CyanideBlue87/Screenshot2011-05-23at10559AM.png)
You can see in these two attached images the basic planes of the face. The obvious planes of the face are as follows:
1) The nose. It sticks out much more than anything. In your image, I feel as though the nose has been shaped in such a way as so it seems like it's receding in rather than protruding out. Try to think of the nose as a long, rectangular shape with a sphere at the end of it. I would recommend an actual reference of a nose to create a convincing nose in this case, as, as it stands, practice does usually make perfect, and working from life and from reference WILL get you the results you want if you stick at it!
This tutorial helps out a lot with noses, and explains them in more detail than I currently have, too! https://www.stanprokopenko.com/blog/2012/09/video-draw-nose-anatomy-structure/
2) The forehead. Don't be afraid to let its planes show as well. In the skull, where the sphenoid bone recedes in, the frontal bone and the temporal bone of the skull protrude out, giving the forehead its distinctive shape-- it curves back into the cranium. We can't see much of the forehead of your character, but before working on any of the finer details perhaps draw some structural lines on a different layer in order to give yourself some ground to work upon and some reference points as to how light will fall across the various planes of the face once you've determined a lightsource.
3) The last main thing that protrudes out is the chin. The jaw/cheek bones come out as well, and are apparent upon the face, but the chin is something that is distinguishable on most people, and also helps to add character.
So from here, what else can we learn? The face is fairly predictable in terms of measurements. Scientists have studied the exact proportions of the face, and though they vary occasionally, the usual proportions remain the same. Here are those proportions:
(https://www.portrait-artist.org/structure-sketches-pics/face-structure-sketch1.jpg)
"The eyes are halfway between the top of the head and the chin.
The bottom of the nose is halfway between the eyes and the chin.
The mouth is halfway between the nose and the chin.
The corners of the mouth line up with the centers of the eyes.
The top of the ears line up above the eyes, on the eyebrows.
The bottom of the ears line up with the bottom of the nose."
Check this page for more on the rules: https://www.portrait-artist.org/face/structure4.html
Utilizing these measurements will help you convey an interesting and realistic face.
I feel as though the weakest point of your image is the lips-- they're basically the go-to version of lips people draw when not actually visualizing a human and how their lips are constructed.
(https://www.artistdaily.com/images/premiums/how-to-draw-a-face/how-to-draw-lips.jpg)
(https://idrawgirls.com/how-to-draw-mouth.jpg)
(https://www.stanprokopenko.com/blog/images/drawlips/drawing-lips.jpg)
Let's examine these lips for a minute! In the first image, you can see how lips are no more than just continuations of our skin. They're not suddenly some invention placed upon the face-- they're just skin, essentially! They're very intricate, too-- lips can make or break a drawing of someone, especially if you're going for a certain likeness. Everyone's lips are different. So, when inventing lips, like you're doing in your image, it's harder to imagine exactly what you're going for-- here again, references, references, references! Real life creates what we perceive and emulate when we draw, so return to the source when you're stumped!
The second image is a bit of a step-by-step, obviously, but it shows that lips are more intricate than sometimes seen.
The third image also shows this well-- lips are also angular in some instances.
(https://www.stanprokopenko.com/blog/images/drawlips/alternating-light-dark.jpg)
This also shows how lips alternate light and dark-- lipstick changes this, of course, and you may have been going for that, but this still offers an interesting and helpful viewpoint on lips.
(https://heinacademyofart.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/abraham.jpg)
I think this drawing here shows a lot of what I've been discussing well. It establishes form, it locates the planes of the face, and most of all, it's very, very convincing!
I don't have a tablet pen at the moment and thus can't do a redline of your drawing, but I'm getting one in the mail in the next week or so and so if you'd like me to demonstrate what I'm talking about overtop of your drawing I'd be happy to!
I think you can take this work a lot further than you currently have, and I definitely believe you have the inspiration, willpower, and talent. It just takes practice and dedication, and also lots of drawing. My advice would be to get out your sketchbook and do lots of sketches of things-- they don't even have to be faces! They can be anything. Learning to see what you are drawing allows your hand to become trained to see as well, and after a good bout of drawing I believe you'll come back to this WIP and see the issues that you need to tackle.
If you have any other questions or would like me to go in-depth more, I would love to help! Hope to see more from you.

That was some excellent advice! I'll definitely act on it when I work up the inspiration to work on her again.
But for now, and considering I didn't see that until finishing another piece, here is a girl with all the errors previously mentioned, now with added derpy shoes and floating hands :P
But seriously, cheers Heretic, I know how I can rectify this piece as well if and when I decide to go back to it :)

My final project for animation was to do a 30 second original story. Mine was 63 seconds. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwAs7WPjR9M)
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, considering I winged it a couple days before the due date. I'll probably want to redo it later with more detailed art, more sfx, more of a plot, ect, but this was enough to get a perfect score and an A in the class.

Fix the link up! I need to see this! Your animations are always so hilariously random. :lol

Fix'd it for ya. I apologize in advance for any loss of IQ as a result of watching.

As I mentioned on the DT side chat thread, I've started preparing for a project with a friend of mine where I will be illustrating a comic type thing he is going to write. It's about faeries of the old, old style rather than the modern style of fairies, so basically no wings, human sized for the most part and absolute dicks like the elves in Lords And Ladies by Terry Pratchett.
Now, I've come to realise a couple of things.
First, hands and feet are pretty difficult, so I would like to ask advice on how to do those in a not-shit manner.
Second, something which will come up less frequently but still most likely very often, I have realised that due to my (before uni) very limited interaction with girls and that at uni everyone just wore jeans, I have no idea how the hell a dress or a skirt interacts with the shape and movement of the leg. This having faeries in it, I am going to need to draw a fair number of dresses (pun not intended), so I would also like to ask if anyone has any tips for that too, because at the moment I am absolutely stumped.
I will post pics of character designs when I have got them to the point of not sucking heinously.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
-
Cool stuff! If you'd ever be interested in drawing for another project let me know. I have a story I've worked on that I think would come across better in the graphic novel medium.

If I can get my other projects done, that'd be cool.

Here's a design for Echo. The hands and feet suck, but it's basically the same design I made two years back, and I rather like it as a design idea.

and now I can present the artwork I did for Zantera's band's new album Into the Forest by Paris in the Spring! You can check out his music here https://parisinthespring.bandcamp.com/ and see the artwork there, too. It's really really good music, so check it out.
The final piece is a 4ft charcoal drawing but it's cropped a bit in the artwork so here's the full version.

Hey dude that's pretty awesome! Mind if I crit a bit? I am not a big fan of how it's shaded; there seems to be no sense of volume to it and the clothes don't quite feel like clothes to me. The black outline also takes depth away as well. I think you could have been more dynamic in your color choices-- the palettes stay within their own ranges (red goes to dark red, blue goes to dark blue, etc) and I think some hue shifting and incorporating all of the colors in a more unified way (ie using hues from one area on an area that wouldn't in reality have those colors but could potentially be there from reflected light or to make the piece more unified). I really love the pose and the design of the outfit, and overall it's a strong image. Good work, man!
(https://i.imgur.com/6aWRorq.png)
updated my John Hurt with some new facial structure changes and a new palette choice. I'm not sure which I like better, but the new one was me playing with shifting the hue much more than the original.

So, every year I take part in a pixel art secret santa over at a different forum. I believe I've mentioned that before and posted last year's piece (the one in my signature) too but anyway here's my piece this year. One of my guy's interests was "Art Nouveau," which was a really popular art style in the past. I tried to emulate a style similar to Alphonse Mucha, who used thick outlines, intricate floral designs, patterns, and scantily clad women in his drawing style. A contemporary artist who takes much influence from Mucha is John Baizley from Baroness, who does artwork for both his band and many other metal bands, so there's a similarity to that in this work as well.
...Anyway, after all that rambling, here's the piece!

Very well down, that's actually pretty similar to a piece John has done, it looks very nice :)

Here's a recent finished painting from me for an upcoming show. Excuse the iPhone camera quality!
(https://i.imgur.com/BVqJVmJ.png)
See if you can guess the mythological story it is depicting!
-
That is awesome Adam!
Not sure about the mythology - looks like it should be Greek though. :lol
-
The poses brought Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam to my mind. Not sure whether or not that was intentional, but between that and the Greek feel of it, I want to guess that it's supposed to be depicting Prometheus creating man. Then again, so far as I know, Prometheus has never before been depicted as a beautiful woman, so, I don't know. :lol
Great work, at any rate.
-
Haha, yes, it its Greek mythology-- and the pose IS reminiscent of The Creation of Adam -- an iconic pose, for sure.
In any case, the myth in question is that of Endymion and the moon goddess, Selene. She loved how he looked sleeping in a cave and was afraid for his eventual death due to his mortality, she so asked Zeus to put him in an eternal slumber so she could always visit him in his dreams. His existence was compromised by this, and as such the depiction is him in a state of agony.

Man, that looks great. If you're creating something, you're an artist, and to me you're a damn good one. Capturing a human likeness is hard, but you've got that down. You need to be doing more with that talent.
-
That's really good. I can't even draw convincing stick figures.
-
Yeah it is. Learning to draw is fucking difficult, even with a masterclass book like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards. It is all really well-explained, but getting through the exercises is tough.

Thanks for the kind words. I've always been bad at taking compliments... don't know why, but yeah.
I think maybe I try so hard to be humble that when someone compliments me, I instinctively counter with a "nah, it's not that great," and then it sticks.

This was my S.S. gift to Ben_jamin this year. I took one of his free writing poems he submitted to the poetry thread here and 'framed' it in black and white, tribalish artwork. I've been drawing in this style for over 20 years. Sadly I don't get the chance/time to draw as much anymore having three growing kiddos...but I still enjoy the heck out of it when I do get the chance.
BTW....you guys are VERY talented....the artwork submitted in this thread is pretty incredible. Good job!!!

So here's a digital painting in progress for a contest. We have to illustrate a character evolving or transforming. So I went with a little teddy that can transform into a badass bear-thing. He is surrounded (in all the light) by his 3 friends and the group of Puppet Lumberjacks that were attacking them decided to flee as they saw Teddy transforming.

Title: Under the blue cloth
Subtitle: The truth behind Vermeer's ''Girl with a pearl earing''
(https://orig02.deviantart.net/031f/f/2015/188/2/d/cedric_go_underthebluecloth_by_cdrice-d90ct37.jpg)
This is a relatively quick acrylic painting about a random idea I had while looking at Vermeer's famous painting. What is this girl's hiding under that blue cloth? Well here's the answer: a bunch of creepy shiny eyes.
This was made using Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue and White acrylic paints on watercolor paper.
-
@CDRice, hey, thanks for the compliment! I work mostly with oils, a lot with graphite and charcoal, and then I do some digital artwork, mostly pixel art. Your stuff looks really nice as well! I like the idea behind the Vermeer study, lots of people seem to really be drawn to that one for inspiration/parodying/reinventing.
Here's two portraits I've been working on for my summer Honors project here at college:

No problem! Well the Vermeer's painting is well known and relatively simple so that leaves a lot of room to ''improve'' it. Also very nice portraits. I'm guessing the are made with charcoal on toned paper? The result looks very nice and clean.
As for me, here's the finished version of the painting I've posted a few weeks ago.

I'm pretty pleased with the result, although I could probably work on it indefinitely... which I really don't want to do. And since the contest is now closed I'm going to call it done.
-
Really lovely! The characters are reminiscent of a children's book almost. I think interspersing some warmer colors in certain areas would help things pop and give some more room for the eye to focus on a certain area-- as of now, it's really busy because of all of the details, so it's harder to focus upon one aspect of the image. Absolutely love the texture on the giant blob-monster, and I always love owls as well.
And you were correct-- charcoal on toned paper. I've only recently started to love charcoal, I used to hate it!
-
I'm pretty pleased with the result, although I could probably work on it indefinitely...
I think that's the case with all artforms! Are we ever 100% satisfied with our own work? It's hard to know when to call it a day.
Personally, I think it looks f'ing awesome as is.

Thank you very much! And yeah that quoted part was mentionned to me a few times. Although it was not strictly about warmer colors, but color variation in general. I'm very happy that you like it!
I think that's the case with all artforms! Are we ever 100% satisfied with our own work?
Thank you Blob! And I guess you're right. Fortunately I learned to appreciate what I do despite the flaws I see. I know that it's not the case for every artist. That got to be a bit sad for them.
It's hard to know when to call it a day.
That's why I find deadline awesome. They make that decision for you.
Personally, I think it looks f'ing awesome as is.
Great to hear! I think it's the first time of my life I have ''f'ing awesome'' applied to something I did :biggrin:

So here's another piece I've started for another contest. This time the theme is fear and we can only use a single color (in addition to grayscale) It's still in the early stages, but I thought I'd share it to keep this thread alive a bit.

So I forgot to post the final version of the painting from my last post. I had to rush it a bit due to the deadline, but it still looks fine I think. So here it is! This is ''The Fear''
(https://art.ngfiles.com/images/369000/369793_cedricgo_the-fear.jpg)
-
Nobody posted here in like forever, that's sad :'( Hopefully no one will mind me bumping this thread. I have a few paintings I'd like to share
Anyway, last month I was part of a group exhibition on the theme of victorian-era vampires. So I wanted to share the 4 paintings I did.
The Seducer: The last one I made and my least favorite by far
(https://orig03.deviantart.net/923e/f/2015/275/9/6/cedric_go_expooctobre_lecharmeur_by_cdrice-d9bnja7.jpg)
The Merchant: This one was sold on the first few days and another man who wanted to buy it comissioned me to do a piece similar to it. And since he couldn't chose between the three propositions I gave him, he asked me to do the three of them :lol
(https://orig13.deviantart.net/e077/f/2015/254/d/8/the_merchant_by_cdrice-d994534.jpg)
The Widow: I actually like this one quite a bit. I feel I somewhat succeded at capturing a little bit of the style from that era. And the character blends with the rest of the painting better in real life than it does here.
(https://orig10.deviantart.net/af92/f/2015/269/4/0/cedric_go_expooctobre_laveuve_by_cdrice-d9b0dbf.jpg)
The Biologist: This one is definitely my favorite, but it looks better in real life. The colors and contrasts just pops a lot more.

Fallen Leaves
It was cold and humid. I was trying to find my way back out of this forest. Suddenly, I saw an eerie shadowy figure moving down a hill. This being silently invited me to follow it, but I didn’t know what to do. Fear was paralysing me. The figure then contiued it’s descending path towards the darkness. I was finally able to move.
I ran to catch up to the strange apparition, but when I arrived to where I first saw it, I heard a noise. I turned around and saw someone looking at me. He seemed lost, so I silently invited him to follow me, but I could see in his face that fear was paralysing him. I then continued my descending path towards the darkness.

Your stuff is awesome man, I particularly love that last one!

Thank you very much sir! :tup
So here's the first of three pieces I was commissioned to do with the them of alchemy. I had a hard time scanning it and balancing the colors, but that's relatively close to the original. It was made on on illustration board with acrylic paints.

Now I know where that sig comes from, awesome stuff man.
I'm not very creative but a friend (who has never really done any drawings before) drew this cartoonish image of me, my avatar. Thought it looked pretty neat.
-
Very nice, was playing some Skyrim recently and the vibe totally reminds me of that. You have some serious talent, my man.
-
I'm reminded of images that would go perfectly with Lovecraft's writing.

There is some really amazing art here, I am going to enjoy looking through all the pages later. My own paintings and drawings don't come close to most here but here are some":

This is the Secret Santa I did for a person at another forum whose interests were steampunk and landscapes, so I ran with that:

Don't say that! Your pieces look pretty cool. I especially like your pen drawings.

Awesome! Not only the picture, but the music is also pretty cool

Thanks! I ended up liking the music more than the drawing :lol
I finally finished the second of the three alchemy-themed pieces I was commissioned to do. I think it was the first time I did this back lighting type situation, so it was kind of hard for me to balance how light and dark the things in the shadows should be. Anyway, it was made on illustration board with acrylic paints.
(https://orig14.deviantart.net/bbf8/f/2016/017/b/3/commission_the_alchemist_2_by_cdrice-d9ob6it.jpg)
Here's a bigger version

-
That look's really good! the back lightning adds quite some character. I really love your first alchemy themed painting too, I really like how the candles shine on the man's face.
-
Painting is a nice way to keep your hands busy while listening to The Astonishing :azn: Again not close to the paintings post above, but I am still improving a lot. Critisism would be really appreciated!
Absurditeit (Acrylic paint on canvas)

-
I like that painting a lot. Some of the colors looks a bit washed out, but I guess that's more a problem with the way you took the picture than with the actual painting. Nice work! :tup
So here's a new quick illustration I've made instead of working on a client's commission :lol.
It's titled MY MUUUUSIIIIC PLAAAAYEEEER
(https://orig11.deviantart.net/beb5/f/2016/037/9/2/cedricgo_faythe_mymusicplayer_by_cdrice-d9qnzt4.jpg)

Brilliant! Definitely send that DT's way on Facebook and Twitter or something.
-
Awesome! I really like the MUUUUSIIC PLAAYER (I can never take that line seriously haha) I like this Fayte even more than the one om DT's website I think. I prefer a well done paint like style over a not so great realistic style. Yours has way more character too, well done!

Yeah, I think that the first time I heard that line was the first time I laughed while listening to Dream Theater :lol And thank you for your comment. I don't think it's better than the official art, but I'll take the compliment anyway :)
Brilliant! Definitely send that DT's way on Facebook and Twitter or something.
I would, but I'm one of the three person on this planet that has neither :lol But if anyone wants to share it on their page, go ahead. I have no problem with that.
Also I've made a gif for it ;D

Hello! So finally here it is. The third and final alchemy-themed pieces I was commissioned to do. *cheers*

I feel I screwed up the arm holding the magic stone, but maybe it's just my perception that is skewed since I've worked on it for a while. Either way I can now do some other stuff without feeling bad that I'm not working on those commisions ;D
-
That looks great, very characterfull again, I really like the magic stone. About the arm, I think it's okay, it might be a little odd, but that's probably just because you said it is, I don't think I would have noticed otherwise :p Perhaps it's the opening of het sleeve? The painting is really good nevertheless, awesome.
-
These are amazing!

It's like Magritte meets M. C. Escher. That's so cool! After a quick search I found that the guy who made them is a Canadian painter called Rob Gonsalves. Here are a few more of his paintings (some are repeats of the ones you posted though)

True. I wish they'd just put everything on one damn page, or at least not one picture per page. :lol

Here is a painting I did this weekend, I'm pretty happy with how you can still see the line drawing at some places, but I could perhaps have thought a bit about making a more interesting composition.
(https://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z404/mattie4ever/Mobile%20Uploads/_20160306_130845_zpssqouj54j.jpg) (https://s1188.photobucket.com/user/mattie4ever/media/Mobile%20Uploads/_20160306_130845_zpssqouj54j.jpg.html)
Run! Run! The Mushroom Men.
-
This is such a friendly looking little mushroom man! :lol I really like the purple-ish faces on the ground. As for the composition, maybe just adding a few foreground elements like branches would have helped. Kind of like you were coming out of a dense area of trees and bushes and stumbled upon this scene in a more open area. But other than that it looks fine to me :tup
Anyway, here's a painting I made for a contest held by Ubisoft for a new game of theirs. We had to illustrate a scene of what could happen if a pandemic struck. I didn't have a lot of time so I went for a comic book look instead of making a full painting.
(https://orig08.deviantart.net/d864/f/2016/065/0/3/fall_of_canada_contest__midnight_hunt_by_cdrice-d9u42y4.jpg)
And I also made an acrylic painting based from a random scribble.
(https://orig07.deviantart.net/c20f/f/2016/074/d/7/akwardly_sitting_on_a_chair_by_cdrice-d9v6vgr.jpg)
And here's the scribble circled in red
(https://orig07.deviantart.net/9644/f/2016/074/2/d/cedricgo_silhouettesthumbnail_001_by_cdrice-d9v6xiv.jpg)
-
Those scribbles look more like Chinese writing than sketches. :lol
I love the artwork you made from it. I'm not sure I quite get it, but I think that's part of the charm. I love the subtlety in the colour choice and shading, and the expression.
-
Well maybe I'm the reincarnation of a chinese man called Zhū lě'ān and I was killed by my brother named Ŕidéhuá.
And I'm glad you like it! I knew that I was seeing a character sitting akwardly in the scribble, but turning it into something that made sense was not easy. That's probably why you don't quite get it :lol
-
So they're literally just scribbles that you then try to interpret, like an ink blot test or looking at clouds? I was thinking they were quick sketches of poses.
-
That's a nice painting! I don't really get it completely either I think, but I agree with BlobVanDam, that that gives it some kind of charm or perhaps it makes it more exotic. Drawing random lines and interpreting them as something to make a painting or drawing of is something I like to do too, it's great for when your out of inspiration for what to make and gives you iodea's you probably wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

Thanks, I think branched in the foreground would have looked great! I am not going to chance the painting however, I decided that after I put a signature on it it's finished as to prevent touching it up forever, but it's usefull advice nevertheless, thanks :azn:

Miss Winter found herself in a strange situation. Outside, summer had just arrived. The temperature was suffocating as she was painfully walking through the streets. She finally found a place where she could order some drinks to cool down. Unfortunately the place was full, so she had to content herself with a table outside.
Edit: I forgot that also did this thing instead of working on actual important stuff :lol

CDrice that looks awesome, I really like the scene and the blue colours in the skin and hair! Do you paint for a living?

Thanks! I'm happy you like it. And I'm not sure if you could say I paint for a living right now since I really don't make enough money to sustain myself very well. However it is what I'm aiming to do. Speaking of which, here's one of three illustrations I've made for a magazine called ''Brins d'éternité''. While the other two were made for two specific stories, I had free reign to do what I wanted with this one. The only thing I had to respect was the dimension of the piece.

It must be great to be able to make a descent living of art, I hope you succeed! I really like the piece you posted, it's very sinister and outlandish. Is there a reason why the bottom half has so few details, to draw attention to the top half or something?
@Metaljunkie, that's some intense staring! the characters are very recognisable too, good job :tup
Here is a drawing I did, it's inspired by Alice's adventures in Wonderland (The Cheshire cat)

I should really work on drawing more neatly :lol

Thanks! And you pretty much got it. I wanted to keep the focus towards the top, so I've put less details at the bottom.
I should really work on drawing more neatly :lol
Well, in this case I think it actually works. It adds a bit of grittiness and I think it complements the darkish atmosphere of the picture. So yeah, good job man :tup
So here's two drawing I've made earlier this week. They were inspired by this video https://youtu.be/XBdJdUcVB_U (https://youtu.be/XBdJdUcVB_U) where two guys created and drew brand new pokemons and their evolutions to the best of their (limited) abilities. I thought their ideas were cool so I did those pictures of them.
Here are Snirely, Blaznail and Snaze

Awesome! I liked seeing the timelapse :tup
Cool! I'm glad to hear that. And I'm curious to know what you're using to do those two last drawings. Is this ink or is it digital?
So I had a job interview about two weeks ago for a company making video games. I unfortunately didn't get the job because my art style didn't quite match what they're doing, but they'd like me to stay in contact with them in case my art evolves in the right direction. And I did this is a piece I did as an art test.

I did them both with fineliners and black marker. I did do a little bit of touching up with photoshop on the second drawing. I am still trying to learn how to work with photoshop, as it seems a very usefull thing to do, but I am not really finding time do so yet.
And that is a really nice piece of art, like the other piece it really has some sort of mysterious atmosphere that I really love!

Hi people! Here's an acrylic painting in progress I'm making for a group exhibition.

Beautiful work as always, CD. Hey, have you ever done any drawings based on fairytales like Snow White or fairies?
Thank you Prog! I remember doing quite a few paintings of fairies and maybe one or two based off fairytales when I got back into art after highschool. However, if I'm not mistaken, the most recent one I did was about six years ago. I've kind of drifted away from that in recent years, but it's something I can easily see myself getting back to. Anyway, why do you ask?
-
Just my curiosity. I always like to see artistic interpretations of fairytales, Alice in Wonderland, and the like. I have a slight obsession with that sort of thing. Have you ever seen those dark interpretations of Disney princesses that artists do? It's so awesome.
-
Have you ever seen those dark interpretations of Disney princesses that artists do? It's so awesome.
I don't think I ever saw that. I searched a bit and found something, but I'm unsure if it's what you were talking about. Do you have any examples? I usually like it when artists combine lighthearted things with darker elements or vice versa.

You can also probably find some others in Google Images. https://www.google.com/search?q=disney+princesses+dark+side&safe=off&biw=1535&bih=805&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjUutXiuoPOAhVIqR4KHTc4DNAQsAQIGw&dpr=1

*Shameless promotion time* As I said this painting will be part of a group exhibition with over 20 other artists. The exhibition will start on august 11 and a viewing with the artists will be held on the 14th. It will end on september 18. The gallery is called ''Le Repaires des 100 Talents'' and the adress is 5867 St-Hubert street in Montreal. So, while I know a lot of people on this forum don't live anywhere near this place, if you somehow happens to be in the area, you can go check it out! *End shameless promotion time*

I can never say enough nice things about your work. Being an artist of a different nature, I do envy and respect those with such a talent for drawing.

Thanks a lot! Those kind of comments always means a lot :) I think most artists feel that sentiment of envy and respect for other artists at some point. At least I sure do. And out of curiosity, what's your artistic medium?

Wrestling with the blank page. I could say guitar also but I haven't played much lately. I'm also a bit of a photography nerd. :lol

Freaking awesome dude.
Seriously, just in awe.

Thanks for your comment! I'm really glad you like it :)
Anyway, I don't want to let this thread die so here are two thing I'm working on right now. First, here's a sketch from my sketchbook that I've roughly colored in Photoshop

And the second one is a fanart of a character from the manga Bleach (which is apparently coming to an end). And this time I'm using a crazy color palette. Or at least it's crazy for me. :lol

This is just the face, but we'll also see the upper part of her body on the finished piece.

Those look great. I especially like the first one. It looks like something out of Wonderland.
Wrestling with the blank page. I could say guitar also but I haven't played much lately. I'm also a bit of a photography nerd. :lol
Nice! I also haven't played guitar that much lately either. So you're a prog snob and a photo nerd :lol
I'd say the photography thing comes after music and books. :)

Sorry that this isn't the kind of art that gets posted here, but this is one of the only ways I express myself creatively. This was my project over the weekend. The electronics are going in this afternoon. I'm putting a brushless motor and electronic speed control system in with a high voltage lipo battery. It should do over 60mph with relative ease.
This is what I started with;

That looks pretty cool. I'm just wondering one thing. In the first two pictures are you boiling the frame?

Kind of. I'm actually dying it. You bring water to a boil and add the dye you want to use. You then put it on simmer and put in the components you're looking to change the color of. The hot water causes the pores in the plastic to open and allows the dye to be absorbed.

That is remarkable. Damn. What is the significance of the 56 in the background?
As far as myself, earlier today I submitted my first story to a publisher. It's for a horror fiction anthology. The woman got back to me immediately and what she said seemed promising. It was partly a reference to me tweaking it and tweaking it and tweaking it and putting off submitting it because I was afraid it wasn't good enough. "You really did perfect it. That's awesome. It's a really great story. You have a brilliantly vivid imagination and I love the twist at the end."

Thanks a lot! As for the 56, to make it short, it came from the manga she's from. The main antagonist artificially enhanced some of the ''bad'' guys and they were each assigned a number. 1 to 10 were the strongests, while 11 and up where numbered by their order of creation. So this particular character was number 56.

I had a feeling you might liked it :) And I think it will be one of these piece that I'll work on a little bit here and there until it's complete at some point. Speaking of which here's some progress I've made. The gaint mushrooms somehow turned into some sort of multi-eyed alien creatures. I'm not sure how it happened though :lol

It's been a while since I posted things here, so here's two paintings I've made for a Halloween themed exhibition that will take place this month.
Here's the first one titled ''Lam Ud Lioe''
(https://orig07.deviantart.net/63ca/f/2016/261/b/1/lam_ud_lieo_by_cdrice-dahxxmb.jpg)
And the next one, called ''Ritual'', with a short text to put you into the mood.
Rising voices surrounds me as she approaches
Intimidated by her, I fall on my knees
Tenderly holding the ritual blade, she marches towards me.
Undressed chanting minions are lit into blazes
As the heat rises with their screams, she moves closer
Longingly piercing my heart as the fire welds us forever.
(https://orig03.deviantart.net/9617/f/2016/270/3/f/cedricgo_rituel_by_cdrice-daj3s0g.jpg)
I also spent the last few days making a short animation that you can see at this link: youtu.be/LoJgeGb8P2I (https://youtu.be/LoJgeGb8P2I)
It's nothing too incredible, but it was a good exercise to get me back into animating. And here's a still frame preview of the animation just so you know what you can expect.

Hey, that's cool. Do those few days include doing all of the art too, or just the animation? What software do you use?
My suggestions would be that the arm swing is too sharp when it changes direction (and maybe should occur a little later relative to the rest of the walk cycle), and the main body should follow a slightly more gradual up/down movement, retaining the faster speed at the lowest point that you've already got. Besides that, I really like it overall, and think you should do more!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. The fews days of work also include doing the artwork. I did the environment with acrylic paints on watercolor paper with some post work in Photoshop. The yeti was made with Photoshop. I animated the whole thing with Flash.
And thanks for the tips. I really appreciate them. You're definitely right about the physics of the movements. The whole walking cycle was probably what took me the most time, but that's the best I could manage to do with my little animation experience :lol I did learn a lot though, so the next time it should be better. Thanks again!
-
Walking cycles are difficult, especially when it needs a specific feeling of weight or style to it. There are so many parts moving relative to each other, and because we see people every day walking, it's easy to spot when it's "off", even if you can't pinpoint it. Given your little experience, you're doing really well though. It still looks great, I just notice the details because I have dealt with it myself so many times. It's only very recently I've started to feel more comfortable with walking animation myself, and I've still got a ton of room for improvement.
-
So I've made a short animation for Halloween. Unfortunately I finished it a bit too late. :lol It's nothing too incredible, but I think it gets the mood across. The art was made mostly in Flash along with some Photoshop (mostly for textures). The animation itself was made with Flash.
Here's a little picture teaser:

They are really nice Christeen, I especially like your avatar. I think the drawing style really matches the subject, awesome!
Since I haven't posted anything in quite some, something I did recently:

"An Early Morning Dance" ink and acrylic paint on paper.
-
I like the surprise at the end.
As far as I know, you are apparently the only one :lol
So, do you ever do anything poster size?
I did some pieces that could be printed on 11''x17'' and a few that could probably go as large as 18''x24''. I'm not sure if that's what you meant by poster size.
-
@Christeen: Nice expressive work! I especially like the fiery screaming medusa one.
@home: That last piece is pretty cool! I loooove the three crazy characters. :lol
So here's some of the stuff I did in recent times

I like those, you guys are talented. This is a cool thread - I should start checking it out.
This is my contribution for today: an animation I did (on Paint) for "Take It Like A Mankey" - a 'mashup' of music by The Offspring and Pokémon Red/Blue that I recorded last year. I tried to make things interesting - for myself, and for other fans of The Offspring - so I included as many references to the band as I could: albums, songs, artwork, videos, the guys themselves... I think there are like 20 'nuggets' - hope they are not that obscure. :P
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiMEkSxEShM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiMEkSxEShM)
I also did an animation for another short song I wrote/recorded in November, which represents the way I wrote/played it (since, otherwise, the composition is 'antimusical'). Hope it makes sense! The song is called "Espirales" (spanish for 'Spirals'):

Here's something I did using some more graphic shapes than what I usually do. It was actually fun. It was vaguely inspired by Audioslave's song ''The Last Remaining Light''

Nicely done, as always. I find that last one especially special.
I forgot to update the status of the book. The woman sent it out to a publisher for review. She was short on words so she asked me if I could write one more short story in record time, so I wrote an extra short story. It wasn't my best but she loved it. We're awaiting a response from the publisher.

And the next one, which is NSFW (Since the thread title contains NSFW I'm assuming it's okay to post it. Let me know if I'm wrong though.) was made for a challenge on an art forum I visit. The theme was ''Radioactive'' but I ended up making something that look more like ''Toxic'' or something.

All train of thought, and thank you! :)
I used to do a lot of pre-made sketches before I started painting, but the original would always get lost in transition. It never turned out the same, and that bummed me out. Now, I think it's more important to capture the moment than make it perfect, and hopefully it shows.

Hey guys! It's been forever since I had a chance to post, I've been incredibly busy finishing up certain certifications and requirements as well as interviewing and whatnot.

I've been working on a comic lately. I was mainly inspired by Kentaro Miura and Junji Ito, so it's some light and happy stuff... I don't really have much of an idea of what I'm really doing as it's the first time I'm doing a comic, but here's a page I did (I just need to add text)

I've been doing the Inktober challenge for the first time this year, so here's my pieces for the first week. The first one is by far my favorite so far. Hopefully I'll manage to top it.
Day 01-Light:

I'm digging it. Can't wait to see more :)

I can't tell how this was made. It looks like a straightforward sketch, but the edges around the neck and head seem digitally blended. Elaborate?
Hey guys! It's been forever since I had a chance to post, I've been incredibly busy finishing up certain certifications and requirements as well as interviewing and whatnot. Here's some work that I've been creating in the past few months-- I also finally had my first /actual/ professional art show (not counting ones held during college).
Dude! Congrats!

Face drawn traditionally, scanned and digitally placed on a black background, hair drawn digitally with a tablet, edges blended.

Is that middle one designed to be video game art? It would look so awesome in a game.
Love the first pic too, with the badass robot, and the limited palette.
-
@Heretic: As usual, pretty awesome stuff! I love the robot design and storytelling aspect of the first one.
Here's 4 illustrations I did that got published in a book of novellas (I think that's the proper word).
Verbes Irréguliers (Irregular Verbs)
The story that this illustration is for is about a man who doesn't want to forget about his deceased wife.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/16d7/f/2018/033/7/7/une_suite_de_verbes_irreguliers_by_cdrice-dc1xo4s.jpg)
La Pierre d'Érčbe (The Stone of Érčbe)
I'm pretty happy happy with the look of the fabrics with all those folds. That's when you realize the usefulness of taking your own photo references. (Yes I have a photo of myself posing as an old lady wrapped in layers of fabrics XD)
(https://pre00.deviantart.net/1c1d/th/pre/f/2018/039/6/8/cedricgo_bre_001_pierreerebe_by_cdrice-dc2l3dz.jpg)
Isti Mirant Stella
The story that this illustration was made for is written as a sort of personnal diary written by a man named Léon. This journal tells the events of the few months following the announcement that the Earth will pass through a comet's tail.

De l'Art Comme Folie Collective (Art As Collective Madness)
To be honest, the story that this picture goes with was pretty... weird XD. I had a difficult time to find how to represent it, so I went with a scene at the start where the main character arrives at a train station where there's an eclectic crowd. Certain people are fairly normal while others, as you can see, are a bit strange.

I really love the last one! There are some really cool characters in there, I love how no one seems normal once you look at it a bit closer.
Haven't posted in a while, but here's something I did recently:
Lighthouse, acrylic paint on canvas

Nice, home! I'd love to hear what your thoughts were whilst creating that.

Thanks a ton Blob! I'm actually working on a game project on the side, a dark fantasy-type game, but it's still pretty under wraps. We're looking for an animator, so if you know anyone... :D
I'm also working on this pixel art of the Elite Knight from Dark Souls:

If/when I ever finish writing my fantasy novel and I were to possibly self-publish it I would love to have you do the cover art, Heretic. I've always absolutely loved your work.

I love this. When you start something like this, do you have a rough idea of what you want the finished product to look like? Like when you started, did you say to yourself "I want two heads merged at the back of their skulls with gamma ray bursts coming out of their eyes", or do you just start touching the canvas and see what you come up with?
-

Thanks! I'm glad you do. I also really like that last painting you've posted. I like how the background texture almost look like stone or something like that. It make it seems like you've painted this somewhere on a cave wall!
So in the past month or so I've been doing something I wanted to do for a while, which is work on a comic. I was inspired by an idea I guy I watch on youtube had and started working on it. I'm still new to this, so things like the layouts and other thibgs specific to this medium might not be too great. But I hope I'll improve over time.
So, to not clutter this thread to much, here's the opening page, with a link below to read what I have done so far.

I used to draw a lot as a kid, but since getting a computer (and a graphics tablet) I've never once just tried to draw more than a rough sketch, so I decided to give it a proper try.
This is copied from a photo (not traced or anything), not off the top of my head. Spent 6 hours on it so far. Still a WIP, especially the body and hair.

Blob, what was your medium for drawing this? Charcoal, Pencil?

Okay so this isn't the normal kind of thing here but I didn't want to make a new thread for it. My work just started a contest where sales reps make a video, and the winner gets some cash or something. This is a quick video shot in 5 minutes while I was at work, so don't be too hard on it.
tl;dr - worked asked for video, I made one in style of genital herpes commercial. I still need to adjust the narration volume, but this is pretty close to where I want it.

I made a second video for work and we all agreed it was the better one. I submitted it, and it ended up being one of the winners! They picked about 15 out of 300 submissions. One per store. Out of those 15, a grand prize winner will be picked on Tuesday.
Sorry if it's advertise-y

Just finished drawing this one. I intentionally kept it a little rough for the style and also because I'm lazy.

@BlobVanDam: It looks pretty neat! The head is especially incredibly well done.
As for me, here are some of the stuff I did lately

And I've also been continuing this comic I've posted a while back. I've switch from a purely digital approach to a mix between traditional medias and digital. I'm still getting used to inking with a dip pen, I'm having a lot of fun. Here's one of the page I did before I added the digital effects

@Blob, both of those look really nice! Tyrion's likeness is especially well-done.
@CDrice, really love the tree/foliage border on that comic! Really adds a nice effect.
A new WIP I'm chugging along at:

Love your stuff, as always, Heretic.

Breath of the Wild? Nice one

@Heretic: Thanks! As for your work, it's pixel art, right? I really find it amazing how intricate it is.
Here's a comic cover idea for my comic. I'm not totally set on it, but I do like the overall aesthetic.

I like it. The uneven circles throw me off, but maybe that's the point? Love the colours and style of it.
I finished drawing this one yesterday. Took me almost 24h to do. There's still a ton I could fix up, but it was for a weekly challenge, so I'm done with it now.

Been wanting to build something like this for about 7 years now and had enough spare parts to finally get it off the ground. I always wanted to build something obnoxiously overkill, and I'm liking the progress so far. Now that the my custom chassis finally arrived from a machinist in England, I've started wrench turning.
I'm pretty much building this from scratch and doing most of the design and engineering on the fly. Mounting the body is actually going to be a huge pain in the ass. I'm going to have to work some magic with polystyrene. I've never used the stuff before, so it should be a cool learning experience.
I'm still not sure what I want to do about paint. The wheels are going to stay black, so I'm thinking maybe a fire engine red for the cab. I'd love to do some gold leaf work, but I worry it will make the thing look too busy.
Thoughts?

So once again this year I've been doing Inktober. Here are my entries for the first week.
Day 01: Sneaky
Beware of the sneaky creatures lurking around when you sleep.
(https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/013/212/416/large/cedric-godin-olicard-cedricgo-inktober2018-001sneaky.jpg?1538576916)
Day 02: Chance
Sometimes it's better to quit even if your chance of winning is high.
(https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/013/231/433/large/cedric-godin-olicard-cedricgo-inktober2018-002chance.jpg?1538661994)
Day 03: Half
It's usually better to have a full head than only half.
(https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/013/242/667/large/cedric-godin-olicard-cedricgo-inktober2018-003half.jpg?1538701463)
Day 04: Doctor
Patient: ''Doctor, I'm not feeling too well.''
Doctor: ''What is wrong?''
Patient:''Um... you.''
(https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/013/261/771/large/cedric-godin-olicard-cedricgo-inktober2018-004docteur.jpg?1538784625)
Day 05: Jar
Is it alright if I take a cookie? Oh, ''this'' is your cookie jar. On second thought I think I'll pass. Cookies aren't even that good anyway... yeah...
(https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/013/276/286/large/cedric-godin-olicard-cedricgo-inktober2018-005jar.jpg?1538870233)
Day 06: Spill

Day 07: Ragged

Those are the best inktober drawings I've seen so far, so awesome dude! Love the monster in Sneaky, he actually looks kind of cute.
My parents gave me a drawing pad for my birthday, and must say drawing digitally is way more fun than I originally thought it would be. I thought I'd miss the feel of a brush, but all the extra options you get in return are awesome. Here's my first finished piece:

Thank you very much home! Although I would personnally disagree as I saw a lot of enries that I'd consider much better, hearing that means a lot. :)
And I really like your digital piece. It came out really well, but man, that poor little bird plushie. What did it do to deserve this :-\ But more seriously, I know a lot of people seem to strugle when making the transition from traditional medias to digital so it's cool to see that transition was seemless for you. Great job!

Inktober week 2
Day 08: Cover

Day 10: Tasty
There's nothing better for your health than a juicy, tasty apple oozing a weird dark liquid when you take a bite out of it.

Day 11: Smash
This one turned out a bit more... let's say brutal than what I anticipated. I'm not totally sure how I feel about it...

Day 12: Slimmy
Hey, you have a little something on your face. Just thought I'd let you know.

Day 13: Thick
It's hard to tell if someone is a friend or foe through a thick layer of smoke and debris.

Love seeing these! Especially cover is very evocative
What did it do to deserve this :-\
Not being as new and exciting as the other doll I guess...

First of all, happy new year everyone!
So one of my friend got me into sculpting late last year and I did this little guy with paper mache and paper clay. You can see some of the process here: https://www.deviantart.com/cdrice/journal/Sculpting-process-Grbld-773321173 (https://www.deviantart.com/cdrice/journal/Sculpting-process-Grbld-773321173) and the final result below.

We've also started to work on a collaboration. She drew me a character that I'll sculpt and I drew her one that she'll sculpt.
Here's the one I drew for her
(https://scontent.fymq2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/48329404_514126282403652_6840325100709871616_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ht=scontent.fymq2-1.fna&oh=c7142b4ad1fbb64b00e107875917064f&oe=5CD800E9)
And the one she drew for me
(https://scontent.fymq2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/48223998_514126179070329_853905469142466560_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent.fymq2-1.fna&oh=7a86d9ae5dd952ae3c71dee0f1c57293&oe=5CCDEDF2)
We've both started to work on our sculptures and she showed me some of her progress. It already looks so nice. I can't wait to see how they'll both look once finished. Here's where I'm at right now.

Glad to see you're still keeping the thread alive, CDrice! Awesome stuff you've posted in the meantime-- I'm a huge fan of that character design!
I've been away for quite some time due to graduate studies and the fact that my girlfriend and I moved, but here's a piece that I finished in December-- it's been one of my biggest hits on Twitter and other various sites! Hope you guys like it.

Holy shit. You guys are so fuckin talented! I love everything I've seen so far. It's times like this where I feel really honored to be part of this community. :metal
Not to keep posting this all around the forum, but I released a concept album a little over a week ago. I'm really proud of it. I obviously don't need to tell you guys that it's best listened to in its entirety due to the story, reoccurring themes/melodies/lyrics/etc. I really think a lot of you guys would like if you actually gave it a fair shot.

I've recently purchased a new and much larger 3D printer, and have been getting better at 3D modelling. I've been putting together this project for about 6 months now in my free time, and I managed to design and print out the bed this weekend.
I wish I could draw and paint like you guys, but this is how I express my creative side.

I'm at the fun part of the build now, the cosmetics. I'll be 3D printing everything. I've been going back and fourth with a few themes. I want it to be unique, but at the same time I want it to be grounded in reality. I'm thinking it's a vehicle from maybe a few decades in the future that's tasked with going around and rounding up a bunch of rogue AI robots that have started to challenge humanity (think iRobot).
The plan is to have a bunch of captive bots in cages, and a bunch of other ones shot to hell and smashed apart piled up in a bin (this may also double as the battery compartment). These are most likely going to be the robots I go with, and they'll all be different colors. I may or may not incorporate a crane/hoist (non-functioning) that'd be used to get the cages onto the bed.

Thanks!
Final color scheme is undecided as of right now. One thing I know I want to do is black out, or at least partially black out, anything that is typically chrome on a big rig.
Something akin to this maybe:

Those are the best inktober drawings I've seen so far, so awesome dude! Love the monster in Sneaky, he actually looks kind of cute.
My parents gave me a drawing pad for my birthday, and must say drawing digitally is way more fun than I originally thought it would be. I thought I'd miss the feel of a brush, but all the extra options you get in return are awesome. Here's my first finished piece:

Hey, thanks! Not necessarily a story, but my work tends to have a basis in a number of themes, mainly fantasy/dark fantasy, adventure, escapism, and the concept of the sublime. My oil painting work (and my graduate thesis) all revolve around these concepts as well. So, in a way I'm glad you asked that, because it means that they do evoke similar feelings, which is definitely my aim!

Been working on my portfolio website, was wondering what you all might think of it. Here's the link:

The About Me + CV sections are still WIP from my undergrad days, they need to be updated dramatically, but the gallery and the homepage are otherwise complete. Let me know your thoughts (if anyone actually decides to look at this topic :D).

I think your portfolio site looks nice Heretic! The layout is clean which gives all the place to your artwork. Also good job on those recent pieces (altough I guess they're not too recent at this point)
So it seems like I have not posted in over a year, even almost two. So I won't post all I did, I still want to share a few of my favorite work I made since then!

Thank you both! I appreciate it!
And Hyperplex, some of your drawings don't show up for me, but your stuff looks really cool. I'm actualy surprised it's digital. It looks so much like it's done with colored pencils to me. I'm guessing you managed to find a brush that really mimics that look and texture, but it still blows my mind! Great job man :metal
Here's a sketch that I started as a traditional drawing to test some art materials I received for Christmas. And I finished it in Photoshop

Reposted with image links that should work.
So these are some selections from the more recent stuff that I've done. Apologies if I already shared any in this thread, it's been a while and I can't be assed to go look to investigate. For some, I have included links to my YouTube that show time lapses of these. I have many others on my site and shared through social media, but I didn't want to overload too much into one post.

Thanks! The makers of Procreate have blown everything out of the water when it comes to replicating traditional media on digital. They have utilized the Apple Pencil in such a way that it's the most natural stylus drawing I have ever used. The brushes are damn near limitless; what you get along with the app is immense, there are a lot of packs you can download or purchase, but most importantly, the brush creation engine is ridiculously granular. The level of precision and control is, in my experience, unsurpassed. It allows me to combine the strengths I possess in digital with the skills I have in traditional and create in a way I haven't before with the two isolated.
The more I work with it, the more "tricks" I learn; I actually use very few of the more complex digital effects available in Procreate, but the basics (blend modes, layers, etc.) have allowed me to experiment more with traditional techniques to create depth and texture.

@Hyperplex Yeah, those pieces are pretty nice! It's definitely amazing and very interesting what can be done now on tablets. It blows my mind!
Here's a currentt work in progress. It's an acrylic painting on a 16 inches by 20 inches canvas. It's bigger than what I usually work on.

I don't blame you at all. Imagine being the one who has to look at it all the time while painting it :lol

And finally, here's the finished painting!
Veuve (meaning widow in french)- 20''x16'' acrylics on canvas
I've been working on it since about july, which makes it the painting that took me the longest to complete. To be fair though, I've been working on it on and off. So it's not like I've been slaving over it full time for half a year :lol The idea originated from an association of various ideas and concepts that are more or less linked together. I hope you'll enjoy it :)

My take on a gray-type alien. I'm not sure if he came out looking creepy or goofy :lol

And finally, here's the finished painting!
Veuve (meaning widow in french)- 20''x16'' acrylics on canvas
I've been working on it since about july, which makes it the painting that took me the longest to complete. To be fair though, I've been working on it on and off. So it's not like I've been slaving over it full time for half a year :lol The idea originated from an association of various ideas and concepts that are more or less linked together. I hope you'll enjoy it :)

This is pretty good, I like it! :tup

Thanks Vmadera00! I'm pretty happy with the result too, so that means a lot :)

This was made for a contest (at the last minute XD) on an art forum where I post. In short, we had to create a hero character to represent a country of our own choosing. I went with my home country of Canada.
So I present you Oscart, also known as Shortail or the bipedal beaver. He was born with an abnormal short tail, but in return he gained the abilty to walk on two legs. He uses his unusual abilty to protect his fellow forest dwellers from all those who want to get their hands on the mystical Maple Elixir which is harvested by the dwarf bears.

Since I made it last minute, I'm still going to work on it because I think it's a fun illustration and I think it will be worth it :)
-
These are three of my more recent creations. The Dark Trooper was really just a fuckabout that I only spent a couple hours on. Isn't my favorite but isn't my worst either.
I am in the pre-infant stages of a new composition that right now only exists in my mind.

Please take no offense to this comment, but this would make an awesome Pokemon character. I love it.
@Hyperplex: Those are really cool. I really dig the knight.

Thanks! I'm glad you dig it. And no offense taken! I actually thought you were going to say something like how ridiculous of a painting this was :lol
@Hyperplex: I second Chino. They're all cool pieces, especially the knight :tup

Another alien, this time with a different style. I originally drew with pen and ink on paper, while the colors and renderind were made in Photoshop

While I continue to attempt to give birth to this new idea, here are two more:

Another alien, this time all digital.

I thought some folks here would get a kick out of this.

Just received a commission to create a tattoo for someone, so that's something. My other project I've been working on will take a back seat for now.
-
That was pretty cool Chino! Thanks for sharing. And congrats on that tattoo commision Hyperflex!
I saw a few pieces that were using stippling/dotwork and I thought it looked cool, so I wanted to try that technique as I don't think I ever did before. This was the result. I learned that while it gives nice results, it's really tedious :lol
(https://d1s0ws440m13mk.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/3/8380ba1e128230b33b28fceac2b0e75ac678111d.jpg)

Love that one man. Yea, dotwork is so tedious but looks fantastic.

Thank you Spiritus!
So I bought a Samsung tab s7 for myself relatively recently so that I could basically easily draw anywhere. I really like it. Being able to draw directly on the screen and having pen tilt sensibility in addition to being portable are things I didn't know I was missing with my small wacom tablet :lol
Here are a two artworks I did on it using the Sketchbook app

Here's a preparatory drawing I made for a painting I want to do.

That looks very interesting and can't wait to see the final product!
-
Popping in yet again to say how impressed I am with the artists on this forum. This thread is full of insanely amazing stuff!

Here's the finished painting made in acrylics on a 12 by 16 inches hardboard panel. The colors of the scan don't quite match the original as I a had a real hard time adjusting them all properly, but hopefully it gets the idea across :)
The Celestial Tree of Serenity

That came out great!
-
Breathtaking and amazing.
-
Beautiful!!
-
Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with how it came out, especially as it's much brighter and "happy" than my usual subject.
-
Wow, that is phenomenal and I would pay to have that in my room. While it's definitely brighter and happier, I love that contrast against the dark ground, roots and branches.
-
Thank you Fiery Winds! I'm glad to read that :)
Wow, that is phenomenal and I would pay to have that in my room.
And about that, I don't know if it's meant to be taken literally, but if you're interested in getting a print of it, let me know. The original would also be available, but only towards the end of the year as I'm likely going to submit it for a local exhibition. Anyway, feel free to message me if you're interested!

Sent!

I finally completed something new.

Here's my lastest drawing: Lord of the Astral World Pnocsiro.
The Lords of the Astral World are a group of 12 beings who are thought to keep order and balance in the universe. Pnocsiro is associated with impulse, death, passion and renewal.

Here are more from my Lords of the Astral World serie. The first two are from around the time I posted the previous one. The last one being is more recent, which I think shows by how much better the rendering looks :lol
The Lord of the Astral World Atrigestia is associated with speech, freedom, arrogance and change.

The Lord of the Astral World Cerprocira is associated with patience, wisdom, night and loneliness.

Apologies for the bringing this back from the depths of death, but since I'm at the moment I'd like to share a couple of album covers I made my friend's band Late Night Trouble.
Their first EP "Lights Out" from last year
