I like the mask...it's intriguing and I think it is beautiful. Very well done :]

[Beautifull]

I like the mask...it's intriguing and I think it is beautiful. Very well done :]

Aw, thank you!

One thing I forgot to talk about was that the mask has one blind eye, that's why it looks half finished...I guess you can say that it has an imperfect side as well as a perfect one. :p I was feeling rather...reflective on myself. :D

And I'm sorry guys, my latest work was erased when the website froze...stupid Deviant Art! Well, I'll draw it again. ;) And it will be posted so you can see it.

[Beautifull]

Ok. So it took me a while to draw this, but It's complete...and I'm working on perfecting my skill in drawing roses, but here's my most recent.

In the land of the blind mask, the one-eyed mask is king... wow... how poignantly deep :crazy: :smilewinkgrin:

Are you at Deviant Art? I've been meaning to open an account there... as though I were such a big artist :p

In my opinion, it looks as a perfectly realistic rose. Even the shades seem at the right place :thumbsup: Now go draw white and yellow ones... immediately... I'm impatient... a lot... draw them now :p

:lol: Yes I am a DA member. :p but just for two weeks. :D My friend suggest I get one and I did, but I've already submitted four works! ^_^

Better watch out...:smash:....*smiles sweetly* I will get around to it eventually. ;)

[Maximilianus]

:thumbsup: :)

Have you posted there the same works you've posted here, or different ones?

[AdoreroDio]

This is me breaking in gimp which I just downloaded to my new laptop :] It's not the best but it's just for fun...

[loe]

Gimp is a great programme, and your work is great as well (especially when you did it with your mouse and not with a graphics tablet) :)

Best regards

[Beautifull]

:thumbsup: :)

Have you posted there the same works you've posted here, or different ones?

Just about the same because I am barely beginning to experimenting with drawing with my computer. :)
Probably in the future, I will have stuff on there that I won't have on here...but no intentionally. ;)

It looks very detailed and proportional. Very nice drawing indeed :thumbsup:

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'll be waiting for the upcoming pieces of art :)

Alright, for my more skillful drawing!

So I drew this last night: http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae214/Kyeire/Sketchings/ok0012.jpg

@ Beaut & Serena: so much talent :thumbsup: ... I feel so miserable :frown2: I wish I could do the tenth part of whatever one of you does :p

[Beautifull]

@ Serena: Oh wow! So much detail! I love especially the last one. Very good. :D

@ Max: I wish I had a tenth of your exhortation ability!

Here's another!

I give you a part of my tenth if you give me a part of your tenth, deal? :p

[Genocide]

Woooow, you guys are amaaazing.

Serena, your first one was the one that stood out to me most. I lah lah lahv it (as someone I know says...?).

Beautifull, yours are all so cute! They're really cleanly done, I like them a lot.

Maximilianus, that was really pretty. So well done!

You guys make my Intro to Drawing class feel like this:

Very good intro! :nod: :hurray: We all have to start somewhere, don't we? :D

Yes we do! You should have seen the things I was drawing three years ago!!!

[AdoreroDio]

Serena, you are a fabulous artist! I love your pieces, especially the first one.

And I love the girl Beautifull! It's great.

[Beautifull]

Aw, thank you!

That's so good, Adorero. What techniques did you use to come up with it, if I may ask?

[Kyriakos]

Nice to see that this thread has become so alive :)

And here are some wooden things, a medieval cart with some logs on it, and an ancient Japanese house:

I like the japanese house!!!

[AdoreroDio]

That's so good, Adorero. What techniques did you use to come up with it, if I may ask?

Frankly it started out as an accident :) I stArted with an ink drawing and went over it with watercolor not knowing It wasn't water proof. I really liked how it started to look so I messed around a bit and this is the result.

(by the way, I did the animation... if that counts as a humble demonstration of some kind of artistic inclination http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif)

[Beautifull]

Aw! How sweet! I like it. I would count it as a form of art! You created it. :D

woa, I was just thinking there needs to be a thread like this, guess I have been MIA for way too long. Here are a couple newer works of mine, the second one is just a doodle I did while making dinner a few nights ago though.

It's alright Max, everyone has a talent...yours just runs another way. :p That's meant in a nice way btw.

[Maximilianus]

Thanks Beaut :)

All of YOU, get yourselves back to your drawing boards... I want to see more art :p

[Beautifull]

Thanks Beaut :)

All of YOU, get yourselves back to your drawing boards... I want to see more art :p

Haha. YOU are right. I've been neglecting my drawing talent...but hey, isn't education more important? :p :idea:

[Maximilianus]

Haha. YOU are right. I've been neglecting my drawing talent...but hey, isn't education more important? :p :idea:
I think they are both important, especially when you find a way to dedicate time to both. What one cannot give should be provided by the other, I think :)

[Beautifull]

True, true...

Max, this is for you, this is what I call a work in progress, but since you're so impatient:
http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae214/Kyeire/Sketchings/paint5.jpg

Ah! You're getting better Nyu! love her! Wish could draw as good as you!

Haha, thanks, I think it's the best line work I have done so far digitally. You can be as good as you want, the thing is just to keep practicing and learning. xP

[Beautifull]

yes! I will...working with it is a challenge, but still always fun. :D And working with a laptop instead of a mouse is even harder! But I'm gradually getting better...now if I could stop making them look so tense!

[Nyu001]

You should just buy a Wacom tablet. :P There are some at low price and Christmas is cuming, maybe there will be some special! ; )

This is the latest drawing I have done:

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r153/Nyu001/Nyu-woman.jpg

Hi Nyu001 :)

This is not pixel art, although it looks like it. They were modelled with Bryce, a 3d modeller.

And i like your drawing a lot. :)

[Nyu001]

Thanks.

How long take you to model a structure? (Without painting).

[Kyriakos]

Depends on the polygon count. The most complicated ones i made in this series are the Byzantine, and those took me around 2 hours for each give or take.
But ussually i just make a model in half an hour. But i have been using Bryce for 3 years, and am quite familiar with it by now :)
Texturing them doesnt take any extra time, since i already have applied the texture before sculpting the model.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

The following work was introduced in a separate Thanksgiving well wishes thread accompanied by a droll storyline, a smattering of links, a Hooters image, a Ben Franklin quote and a wonderful piece by Antonin Dvořák.
I wanted to take this opportunity to share the painting on its own merit minus the superfluous baggage of nonsense. I have also included a little on the process and materials/ tools used to create Ben and Franklin.

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/tabuka1/Misc%20Album/BAFThanksgivingorigreduced-1.jpg


The saga of Ben and Franklin began last year with a simple graphite and charcoal sketch. Ben and Franklin represent the anthropomorphic embodiment of Tony Randall and Jack Klugman from the “Odd Couple” American TV show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLW_K3GxCHI&feature=related


Following is a work in progress photo.
Much of the graphite layout sketch is visible. I used a relatively hard “3H” lead.
The initial foundation washes have been established on the walls, floor and shelves along with the beginnings of random detail work.

I'll keep it in mind :)

[Beautifull]

Yes, I agree Max! And even if it turns on, it won't be automatically good. You have to work on it. :D It will always take effort.

It sure is a goodie. I like! Oh, If I had photoshop! Nice Job Weltanschauung!

there is a program called gimp (lol, but seriously), which is public domain. it pretty much has all the basic photoshop possibiliites, and you get to play with a bunch of stuff when youre bored. here's the link http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

you can even google for instructions on topics, and you'll find a bunch of hints.

[Beautifull]

Thanks!

[Maximilianus]

Neat creation, welt. It looks much symmetric.

[weltanschauung]

well, thank you sir!

Wow! I love those ones too! The first because of the details! Very nice. i like the second one because it almost....gives off a cloudy feeling which can lead to a dreamy feeling. Haha. Now i feel weird saying that. Anyways, they're both nice pieces, Weltanschauung.

[weltanschauung]

thanks :P

Interesting Picture Weltanschauung. This seems to have the feeling as though the candle is dreaming of being a light. :p

[Maximilianus]

http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/i-m_so_happy.gif I think the candle is in love with the light bulb, under the dream that one day the bulb will enter that pyramid where the candle is trapped, and therefore will set the candle free. The candle is dreaming of an illuminated future with the light bulb ... I'd better stop here before they send me to a madhouse http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/laugh2.gif

Something that looks a lot wonderful!

[MystyrMystyry]

And another

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Cool stuff, MystyrMystyry. What medium? Digital?

[MystyrMystyry]

Yes they're digital sketches. This thread's got me hunting down the programmes I used to use

Bryce 2 for the first, and Painter 3 for the second

Though there are actual paintings of them over people's fireplaces, I can't get my camera software to work

One day

That is I had it working for one day, so it must be able to work somehow

[MystyrMystyry]

Hey Beautifull, Max and Welt!

Thankyou for the compliments - tell me when to stop

[weltanschauung]

oh my goth, mystyrmystyry, that is just superb!

His name is Ariel, from Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Thanks for all the comments everyone! I pretty much taught myself how to sculpt from books and online tutorials.

work in progress for a friend, im at a loss as to what other tribals to surround his name in? Any helps, And its done in sharpie so umm, Can't really re-do the position of the eye.

[weltanschauung]

oh i love that

[MystyrMystyry]

Good stuff Steph

It reminds me of something from long ago, but what exactly I can't remember

Perhaps if it 'reminds' you of something?

It will flow easier if you imagine that you're doing it from memory (old artist trick), or to be sure that you want to continue symmetrical designs, draw some random/not-so-random ideas on other sheets of paper and translate the ones you're happiest with to the actual piece

[Remember to lightly pencil sketch it in first before applying further sharpee, because white-out (can't match tone to any known paper) will cause it to lose edge if you slip up]

[Maximilianus]

That's all so cute.

[Beautifull]

Wow! I love how active this site has become! Great job Steph, Niamh, and weltanschauung! Please! More! Keep em coming, and the same for others who haven't posted! I wanna see!(I think I'm talking to myself also. I've been slacking). Okay, I'll post one soon!

weltan what a piece! I love the brilliant colors in it.
mystr I love the majestic feel of your piece.

[MystyrMystyry]

Hey! Hey!

Two different eyes in opposing corners, cool

Love the areas of semi-solid black where the white design cuts through

And now finished it looks nothing like I imagined it might have - 10/10 for the surprise factor - and though I'd buy and frame it in an instant you must understand why I'm not allowed give it a rating ( - I'd have to rate everything!)

Suffice to say I like it - and if my name was Shawn I'd insist you give it to me for my birthday instead

thanks, I'm kinda nervous to give it to him, he is a brilliant artist and that doesnt even compare to things he has done, I just hope he likes it. There should be two eyes, a star, a spider, a rose, a bat, a sunshine and a cross... All his favortie things :D I'm hopeless. I would be interested in what you for-saw happening with it?

Was that expressive? :p

As a side note, if I were Shawn I would gladly accept it. No one ever drew my name with such devotional detail http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_shakehead.gif He's lucky.

[qimissung]

I'm in agreement. Good art, Weltanshuung, Mystry, Steph, Niamh, Beau!

[MystyrMystyry]

Beautifull's big black eyes!

I like the simple line work - more please!

[Beautifull]

Thanks guys. As for the simple linework, it would be great if someone colored it with their photoshop-like programs....I did ask someone else to color, but they never did. Anyways, you're free to give it a shot, just keep my sig there. :p I'll post more. :) I'm better at sketching, as you see.

Thanks Beautifull - alas I'm not having sufficient time to colourize your picture , so I can recommend you download Paint.net (don't know the url but it's probably Paint.net.com [as it the WWW wasn't confusing enough] and try it out - it's sort of Photoshoplite, but FREE, so nothing to lose everything to gain)


For me I've just gotten hold of this FREE programme called Luminance HDR and although comprehensive, it's hard to master, but a couple of days and I should have it under control - it's for ABSOLUTELY perfecting your photos and optimising the pleasantness of your scene - and it's FREE!

Actually, it's http://www.getpaint.net/

I've been using it for quite a while now, doing a few experiments, though still a beginner. By the way, steph's signature pic and profile pic where done by me some time ago through Paint.Net

I'm not saying they are big pieces of art. Just a humble attempt.

A Form Poem

The Ocean

Feeling the waves crash over me,
Floating away into the shimmering water,
Boat lights showing my way to recovery,
Dolphins showing my smile and Sharks showing my darkness.

A Random Poem

The flowers bloom,
The rain lets the puppets dance,
The door never being opened,
Love being stolen and broken,
Wind blowing the hair of the beautiful woman,
Standing in the beaches of emptiness,
Forests showing the dreary words cut across the trees,
The sunlight shinning into my eyes,
A snowy wonderland being my burial,
A rainy day being my survival,
A foggy day being my birth,
And the illuminating waters flow with me,
While the Darkness takes my memories into my pit of happiness as the smile erases my face and the cello's showing that i am loved.

[Three Sparrows]

Wow, the swords are just awesome, as is everything else. I have a big mushy spot for swords though. The half face is really cool too, Beautiful; did you use charcoal? Some fascinating art, MystyMystry! Keep up the good work everyone! Can't wait to see some more.:nod:

Well, on the bottom of mine, it says "You may post attachments." on mine, so maybe it has to do with your settings?

[MystyrMystyry]

Download Google chrome and use that instead of Internet Explorer - I had to...

[BeagScribhneoir]

I'VE KINDA FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET PICTURES ON! :D

The website let me upload the images I wanted into a folder on my public profile page so feel free to have a gander! :D

But it still won't let me post on this thread... :/

[stephofthenight]

Well, on the bottom of mine, it says "You may post attachments." on mine, so maybe it has to do with your settings?

It has to do with term of membership and post numbers i believe. however you can upload to photobucket or something of the like, and copy the image code so it shows up directly.

[loe]

hot cylinders:
I really like this one! It feels so good to look at it when it is snowing outside! :)
Besides, this thread is definitely one of my favourites here - so many creative people!

I have started a project about the creation of a new world. So far I can only offer you two posts of theory on this world, but I plan to make a huge creative project of it...
If you are interested and/or have too much time you are cordially invited to visit my new blog (http://lhocmar.blogspot.com/) on this project (bad advertisement, I know...).

My next steps on this will be the drawing of some concept art and putting some sort of a concrete story in an acceptable form - everything is still a bit wishy-washy in my mind...

[MystyrMystyry]

Good one Welt - because the witless dodo has haplessly fallen in love with the hippopotamus who has one big mouth for expressing herself and so upon going to kiss the last dodo the Hippopotamus instead will inadvertently gobble up the last dodo, yes?


I especially adore the outline around the last dodo - this is to signify what is to become of it or rather what may have became of it? Skillfuly executed in the manner of Paul McCartney without shoes at Abbey Road, and perhaps giving a halo effect to denote its future plight?

This is also intriguing me - what manner of device did you incorporate for the holograms of thought balloons? Did you visit an institute of holography and utilise their equipment, or do you own your own?

[weltanschauung]

you guessed the sexes without even asking la fontaine! how dare you!
the dodo is actually an eagle in disguise and likes to sing amy winehouse, and the hippo is from greece and likes to namedrop proust in dinner parties! (thats what la fontaine told me)

and you did NOT know that!
:P

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

This is a piece of abstract art I just completed. It was done on a regular-size piece of printer paper, and done with a set of eight colored art pens. The colors are a lot smoother on the hard-copy.

my favourite so far!

Not bad Mutatis - a lot of interesting textures and designs within (I'm a sucker for detail), and a Yellow Submarine (movie) feel to it (that's high praise!) and I particularly like the preponderance of red. If you want to explore digital fiddling (without messing up the original) you could try blacking the white areas in Paint - I just did and it looks cool (though I won't post it) and I copied the top right sphere, pasted it over the grey one and reversed-flipped, and rotated the colour wheel (Paint.net actually) and it looks even more stunning (imo), and dgital manipulation is valid - in fact you can get ten new designs from one as close as a couple of parameter clicks

Anyway, up to you - I like it


Welt, thanks for complimenting blocks

Welt, I must sincerely apologise for my place holder - I was busy and forgot to re-edit it; but thanks for complimenting blocks - I like blocks too


Thanks for the tip, Mystyr, I may just try that. I really liked how the red came out, so smooth. And, feel free to post any manipulations/edits you make, I'd love to see them, especially since your art is so cool and psychedelic.

And, cool picture, weltanschauung

Mutatis' abstract rearranged

That is pretty sweet. The black does make it a bit more vivid, and I like the inverted orb. Cool stuff.
