It’s a picture of a character from U-Jin’s Shin Angel (New Angel) series.

Nice work! Copics are awesome.

Here's a recent finished painting from me for an upcoming show. Excuse the iPhone camera quality!



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. 
Sincerely,
Jaffa

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.

Not to knock the art at all, but I had friends who drew that well at that age.

Pretty sure I've posted these somewhere on DTF before, but I figured I'd throw them here.

Did them both in MSPaint. Mouse, no tablet.

I think I'm overly critical of myself, maybe. I don't consider myself an "artist," but I sure as hell love to draw from time to time.

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.

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.

I was given that book back in about grade 5 by our school's groundskeeper. True story.

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.

Holy shit.

My grandmother was a painter. One time I sat down and tried a little. I couldn't even figure out a brush stroke as simple as a leaf.



I promptly gave up and decided to stick with drawing.

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!!!

@Heretic: You last posted more than a month ago, so I don't know if you'll ever read this, but your work looks gorgeous! What mediums do you work with?

So here's a few things I've did. I'll start with some character designs I've made for a personnal project I'm slooowly working on.

Rob


Miss Dee


Mikhaela




That will be it for now. I'll dig up some other stuff later on :)

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.
