I've got two to upload today. :) I've been crazy about it. :)
This one's my first comic. My friend scared me while I was waiting for mone of my classes. :D

And this one is an original character drawn and colored by me.

awesome work guys! I'm inspired to quit being lazy and start uploading stuff on here :)
I was going to grade the works I've seen uploaded since I left to deal with exams and such, but Mr. Coyote wanted to grade them himself...
Beau's guy with the scythe reminded me of something I did for this year's Halloween:
Photoshop works, please. You know how to use the program http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gifQuote:

A belated Halloween scare Beau? That was cute :) Your blue dude's hair covering his eyes is very manga - looks like the opening page of a comic, yes?
Yeah, hurry up Steph!
Max is back, and it looks like a scene from the Day of the Dead. Well done Max!
My Halloween led me on a search for spooky forests, I finally found spooky trees to make my own spooky forest - three weeks after the fact :(
First effort:

Mystyr: Why yes, it does! I may possibly become one, sometime into the future...just not in the near future. And it's okay if it's 3 weeks later, I'm glad I got to see it. :D
Also, here's a new comic:

Thank you, I do agree with him, and welcome :)Quote:

hey those are cute and full of life...i also had mine it's a character from one od Disney's animated movie:banana:Quote:

Certainly looks like an aura Max. I like the blue glow on the swan. :)
Why you bored Beau? Because there's so much to do? :)
I'm at a bit of a loss - I was working on stonewall textures to fit a couple of castle ruins - but they still don't look right even after hours of fiddling. On their own (just as textures) I'm happy, but they won't apply properly to complex shapes, making everything look splodgy grey. So I'll have to get back when I've worked it out...
Glad you do! http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gifQuote:

That's so pretty, Max! Horses are happiness making.
Thank you!Quote:

I've been swamping with spooky trees and marsh gas mist:

And the towers in a previous image have evolved to a more elaborate version, now powered by diamonds (?)
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...rmystyry/8.jpg
Those are stunning, Mystyry! I want to visit those places!
Thanks Varenne, but are you sure about wanting to visit them? I try to create places that scare me (actually my inner child - I used to have these waking nightmares when I was really little about horrible dead places, lifeless toy-like and people-less landscapes). On a few occasions I was taken to places that were actually creepy and frightening, and some dreams became muddled with reality. There was a new suburb being created somewhere and the roads were wet dirt (I didn't know they'd eventually be paved) inside the house we visited was all hard edge horror and the adults were blah blahing. I went out into the street alone. It was cold and treeless. There was this eerie high whistling wind like ghosts speaking. I've never heard anything like it since except in nightmares. That and other strange memories haunt me to this day.
Sorry - I seem to be in a yabbery mood :)
No, I love it. Talk all you want. I'm stuck at home today waiting for a delivery. My house is spotless clean, I've done some fun hobby related stuff. Overall I am bored bored today.
I like your story about the creepy house and street. I would still visit your pictures if I could, even if things were scary. At least it would be a break from the norm. I like scary movies, scary books. Fictional ones, mainly. I'm a strange person, probably. :D
Got some fractal brushes!
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...mystyry/ap.jpg
Thanks!Quote:

I think both are pretty awesome, as well as the above fractal piece. I once rendered foliage by means of a Mandelbrot fractal. Then there's the Fern fractal, for rendering... ferns :)Quote:

I just finished a sculpture of Spike Spiegel. Hopefully I'll post pictures of it tomorrow.
Spooky tree brushes never occurred to me Max. I could've saved a lot of time if I'd been thinking along those lines...
Thanks Varenne :) I can't wait.
I wanted to try something with the fractals (always experimenting) so this is a Fractal Borealis in An Artica (take your pick)
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...ystyry/Ant.jpg
Actually I think I prefer them as bump textures:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...yry/reduct.jpg
First one looks like a portal to another dimension after crossing an icy sea, and the second one could be the other dimension itself. That's how I perceive them at this particular moment :)
Experiment with blending modes and blur-created glows. A spontaneous mixture of images and effects, not really intended per se, since it took only a few hours to conclude:
http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/...ps20Wllppr.jpg
These are so beautiful! Both of you! I am blown away.
Wow~! I've been gone for a few days, and There's two mighty artists keeping the thread alive! Max and Mystyr, you and your works are Awesommmmee! XD
@Mystyr: I guess you can say I have much to do and that's what's making me bored. XD Ad it's also due to me being too picky. If I don't feel like doing it, I won't. That gets me in deep trouble sometimes...
Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop...

Sculpted in premo polymer clay over a multi-gauged steel wire skeleton. His hair is black shaggy mongolian faux fur. He is blushed in acrylics and oils.
There are lots more pictures of him in my albums. :)
Thank you both, Var and Beau http://fc09.deviantart.net/images3/i...u_emoticon.gif
Var, you are quite a sculptor! http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_clap.gif
Thank you, Max! I'm still learning, but I love it so much. I'm never going to stop.
Thankyou Max. That's brilliant - I want to see that movie!
Thankyou Beau. You're right about possibilities - I'm often caught up in the same dilemma. Do I put effort into this over that, or which is the more worthwhile endeavor? Then perhaps I'll just play this computer game for a few hours and let the subconscious process do the work? (Actually that's not bad advice - doing something unrelated is a good source of creativity. Yesterday I was at the fridge and noticed a puple stain - a tin of overturned beetroot. My first thought was 'grunting slime' for some reason, and I had a lightbulb moment for a poem. Then when I hit the Web to check it for originality my search brought me to a Litnet member).
Thanks Varenne, Spike looks fantastic - somehow more real that real. How tall is he?
Thank you, Mystyry! He's a little over 10.5 inches (27cm) off of his stand, 11 inches tall (28cm) including his stand. I tried to put light and depth in his eyes, and to give careful consideration to anatomy, so thank you for saying he looks real. That makes me happy. :)
Okay - And the Mermaid?.
I'm working on something that's not quite ready. I've been putting the objects in place for hours - harder than you'd tell when you see the finished product, but I was determined to see it through.
Any minute now...
When resting on her base she and the base are about 6.5 inches (16.5cm) high. From head to fin she's about 8.25 inches (21cm). Her features are little.
The tiniest sculpture I've made was a fairy the size of a wine cork. I would post pictures of that, but I used a cheap clay and I think she turned out quite ugly.
I can't wait to see your new work!
That's quite a petite mermaid - from the detail I would have guessed a couple of feet to a yard.
Maybe the Fairy is a Fury?
Anyway I finished rendering - not happy with the sky though, but I need a break from this one.
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...rmystyry/2.jpg
Bubbles! Or crystals! It's so pretty. The mountain/s had to have taken a lot of work. I love how the orbs are reflecting the colors of the surface. How did you make them do that?
Thankyou Varenne :)
They're diamond spheres - the most refractive substance there is, thus the internal reflection inverting the surrounding scene. Also thus why I'm doing it again: because they're reflecting too much white grey sky for my liking - but I went for milky sky to even out the colour and texture of the ground. I've a better solution now. The other thing is in reducing the image and jpg size you also lose a lot of the sparkle - so you'll have to imagine how sparkly they actually are
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...mystyry/ll.jpg
How they appear here
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...rmystyry/l.jpg
How they actually are (25 mb is a bit much for this forum)
I took a look at your latest project in your albums. I'm not familiar with that character, but I'm sure you pulled off the likeness quite well. Looks good and more importantly, you found something you enjoy to occupy your time.Quote:

Thank you, Gilliatt. It gives me some purpose. :)
Mystyry, they are amazing! They look like real objects. Beautiful.
Thankyou Gilliatt :) I love detail, but digitally I usually try for just one or two detailed aspects, because digitally at least it can quickly become Japanese magaziney - interesting elements all over the place.
Thankyou Varenne :) all these compliments lately, I think I'm in danger of becoming addicted
Here's a city at midnight (experiment). The skyscrapers were height-mapped from the same window texture as makes the lights, and the sky another abstract brush set
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...tyry/city2.jpg
Keep up that good sculpting. I'd love to see more sculptures :)Quote:

Beautiful European women, lots of action and French-spoken, which is quite attractive too... underrated by the IMDb and others, but I really pay little mind to their opinions :pQuote:

Now, that particular midnight sky plus that particular mountain would really render a doomlike scenery, IMHO. I take it you are doing all these fine pieces on Bryce, right?
A swan lake scene, after a few more glow-wise findings. Background pic is Upper Arrow Lake, BC, Canada (though I ignore if swans actually land on it http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/sc...one-s_head.gif):

More on glows and tree brushes, Hoofs in the woods. Created scene, with the only exception of the equus caballus (or horse):

Current avatar on Facebook, It's the fear:
I love it Max. Especially that last one. Made me :lol:
