I hadn't considered the filigree patterns http://smilies-gifs.com/pensando/6pensando.gif I'll have to consider them next time I make a new attempt.
Thank you very much for your suggestions, Mystyr!

Being in and out of jail lately has had my mind on my beliefs more then ever before, so while I'm out for the time being I decide to release some anarcho-hip hop tracks. This is the first of it all.

Everything but the vocal tracks was mixcrafted though
I know little about art, but as much as my humble view understands I would give it a 10, though you should ask someone with a higher artistic background, like Mystyr or Gilliat... they know much more about art. I can just add I wish I could draw like that.Quote:

I like these Steph - that first one has such a cool textured layered multi-dimensional quality I find it hard to stop looking at it - it's like an intriguing visual poem
The heart looks excellent (I love the hand-drawn look - not a stylised squat wingding and it says something much stronger for that), The fronds around the heart look great - I wouldn't mind seeing that effect go on further and fading away - but at the same time I like the way you don't mind having a large area of bordering background, where my inclination would be to closely crop the central element, you set it in its own space
And you've done it with the multi-dimensional butterfly too, giving it space to flutter its wings and fly
Good show Steph!
Up we have a post by someone who knows about art. I wish I knew but a little about it.
Some of my latest creations (the Theodosian walls are most prominent in them) :

I thank you both, Beau and Mystyr. I have been planning to do something more accurate with the earth, following previous Mystyr's advice on filigree patterns and such, but school and other chores won't let me do it soon, apparently.
Abstract art is very challenging, because it's very hard to determine whatever may lie beneath the splatters, splashes, strokes and the like. Your abstraction calls for a thorough stare, Mystyr. There must be something in it to be found :)
Following is a ring I made to cheer up my friend Mari Jo when she was grieving. Not saying it's the ring, but it is the closest to a ring that I've been able to come up with so far:
http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/...oparaThali.png
I agree with Max on what he said about the abstract art. I believe Your piece, Mystyr, reminds me of a celebration...just the vibrant colors....but I don't know, I'm not good at reading abstract art. All I know is that's it's pretty amazing. I can't do abstract.
As for your ring Max, It's nice. You're always so thoughtful. And it's a pretty good ring if you ask me!
A collection of forts i created for CivIII :)

I like Kyriakos's rounded forts http://smiles.kolobok.us/user/Cherna_14.gif
Thank you, Beau. You too draw something and post it, okay? Been a long time :) http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gifQuote:

@Max: Okay....as soon as I can find something good enough...Well, I do have something I'm working on....I'll post it as soon as I can
Thankyou Beau and Max (like the ring, and the lettering extrusion too)
Kyriakos' Civ III, things are cool - I lost quite some hours to that game (and many more to II and IV, though haven't tried V yet)
This is the product of an accident where I really wasn't happy with the way the painting was turning out and frustratedly painted over the canvas in gloss black. Well, I couldn't leave it at that because I was determined to have completed something by dinner time - enter blue, silver, and white squiggly amoeba things
(The orange isn't for sense of scale, but to help hold it flat because it had been rolled up and paint gets quite rigid in Winter)
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...ystyry/D-3.jpg
Love those colors, Mystyr! Beautifull Piece once again!
Here, I finished it before putting it up. I colored this piece only I wish I would say I drew it too, but one day, one day I'll be able to. I'm slowly getting better. :p http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/20...re-d46td7d.jpg
Thank YOU! http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gifQuote:

Anglo-Saxons are calling my attention lately, maybe because I've been studying them at school http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/sc...one-s_head.gif Yeah, it must be so! http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/ok.gif
;)
Medieval Tibetan set:

Good blue in the eyes and spacey background Bella
Lots of settlements Kyriakos. Cool.
This isn't a high res because I screwed up, but it is a black and white thing:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...y/drawing1.jpg
An intricate piece! What program did you use to do this, Mystyr? http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/jus...C_thinking.gif
Thanks Max - the 'program' is called 'pen and ink and paper and by hand'. :)
Oh, good, it looks so "digital" that for a moment I thought it was digitally done :p
That's okay Max - it took a few nights to be that precise, so I'm glad that you compared me to a machine :)
This however did not take very long at all - I've rediscovered fingerpainting!
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...y/painting.jpg
So you could rightly say it was done digitally
Nice work :)
This is an Aztec set:

I like that one Kyriakos - could you do sci fi sets? I'm thinking Warhammer like, though I don't know how much time it would take
Warhammer 40K? I dislike anything sci-fi apart maybe from some H.P.Lovecraft (which has little to do with sci-fi anyway). :)
You dislike sci fi? I hope that doesn't mean you've missed out on Dark Crusade and/or Soulstorm? They are both so good they are Art. (Fortunately they're still available, and play on modest systems, if you're ever in the mood - highly recommended). Keep up the good work in the meantime!
So you know I'm not the best artist, so no criticising. I've already criticised it a lot myself. Just thought I'd share with you my practice. I used Bamboo Wacom and Paint Tool Sai
http://kyeire.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d47pl0k
And if the pic don't show, here's the link:
http://kyeire.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d47pl0k
You didn't say how much you liked my fingerpainting :(
That's good Beaut. (I gave up on Wacom, though is Bamboo the program not the tool?) It definitely looks like a depiction of a recognisable human face
Why do you preface with "you know I'm not the best artist'?
That's my criticism - all art is just doing the best you can do with the amount of time you have available, and the so-called 'great' artists are merely people who have decided to allow themselves to have that time - usually, but not necessarily, to the point they arrive at becoming professional.
Taking the case of Van Gogh say, he was a dedicated amateur who only sold one painting! And what bargains they would have been!
If you like something enough you'll find yourself the time - and remember, it's not about showing off as much as developing, one of the reasons that artists are rarely happy with their work: I'm never happy with anything I do, but why spoil the mood of the thread by saying 'here's something I've done, but these are the faults a1 - z26'?
Also nothing photographs properly - you can never get the sense of scale from a jpg, which is why I don't mention the dimensions, and regardless the impact is completely different - everything handpainted I've submitted I'm doubly/triply etc unhappy with, know I'll be unhappy beforehand, but do it anyway just because...
Keep doing it Beautifull (Promise me!) :)
Dunno much about art myself, but I feel this thread is Mystyrious n' Beautified, among other several qualities :)
Here we go, was bored and alone all day and hung over so I wrote a song, got my camera and went into my bathroom to record it. It's the closest thing to a show I've had in months lol.

boop boop
:lol: Max, you have such a way with words and actions. Always makes me smile. :DQuote:

Well, now that you have said your say, I'm ashamed to say it was just "something". Of course, I'm just anxious and impatient to reach that point where I do see my own improvements. Maybe I should go find my dust folder of drawing from four years ago, and show myself where I've come from. And of course, I promise I'll keep it up. I promise! I pinky swear~!
Thanks Mystyry for your words of wisdom, and your concern for my lack of concern. :D
Nice song!Quote:
