The Creativity Thread v. we need more artists! [NSFW]

[Progmetty]

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:

[alirocker08]

Ah, I get you! I'd love to experiment with that idea more actually, it just doesn't work with that character

[Progmetty]

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?

[alirocker08]

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

[TimelessSymphony]

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]

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

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.

[Stonestef]

Congratulations! Although,I've got to ask... what is an art walk? 

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

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.

[Manolito Mystiq]

Hmm, I should make some more art, again.

Old stuff:

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

Yes...yes you should.

[Sketchy]

That one looking down is really nice.

[Manolito Mystiq]

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.

[TimelessSymphony]

Damn i've been on a roll for making artworks lately !!.. 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

and another artwork done ...

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

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.

and another artwork done ...

More like Angel of OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING GET IT AWAY FROM ME!

Nicely done though bra.

[Stonestef]

Wow,definitely the best work I've seen from you.

[Heretic]

<<<< Just pixeled myself a new avatar to show my utter love of Game of Thrones. Was a blast to make.

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

Dude, how you do what you do still blows my mind.
You seriously need to tell us how you do that magic you do so well.

[TimelessSymphony]

I was bored last night so i decided to made this one...

[TimelessSymphony]

and here another artwork done...

[Adami]

You know, I might actually hire you to do artwork for me when I have another album done.

That would be pretty awesome 

here's the artwork with the tracklist on it.. note that the color is a bit different..

[Stonestef]

and here another artwork done...

Really great. What is yours in this picture? I mean created by you.

[TimelessSymphony]

and here another artwork done...

Yep all created by me !!.. and glad you like it..

here's another artwork

[Heretic]

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.

[Adami]

Ouch.


I feel like it's the Ab guy all over again.

[Stonestef]

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.

[Adami]

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.

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

[Heretic]

I say we wait and see what he has to say about it before we send him to the gallows. I felt somewhat bad being the one making the detective post, but I don't like people claiming other people's art as their own, of course.

TO GET SOME ART BACK IN HERE:



work in progress pixel!

[TheVoxyn]

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

[Sketchy]

That is so tranquil. Love it.
