Arts and Crafts Showcase

[Rawhide]

This thread is replacing the old Arts and Crafts thread and is for showcasing any and all of your artwork that isn't styled after Order of the Stick.

[Ego Slayer]

Woohoo! Yay art.

Ok, well it's not finished but I didn't have time lastnight to do so. Meh.

[Sneak]

Wow.

Amazing.

I so wish I could draw like that...*cries*

There's only one problem with it. Well, not so much a problem as a...thing. There's just something about the head that bothers me. I'm not sure what. However, it might just be because it's incomplete. I don't know.

I'm also not a fan of the letters, but that's very minor, and more of a subjective thing.

[Ego Slayer]

Praise? From Sneak? I think this is a first! :D
No sarcasm right?
Anyway, yeah there are a couple things I don't like about it but I've lost the mood to finish it. I probably won't finish it or fix it for at least a few weeks. I don't really specifically know what else to do with it.

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

I don't really specifically know what else to do with it.

Frame that dashing fellow in the black robes?

[Caillach]

I don't think I've shown this one yet. It's not done but, meh.
It's done in markers and pencil crayon.

[edit: Argh! Too Big!]

I apologize in advance for posting this again. I posted it elsewhere in another topic before I realized it really belongs here. These are some sketches I did of characters from the last D&D game I was involved in. It was a villains-only game, where we were playing characters who would eventually becom the arch-enemies of the heroes we were playing in a separate game in the same campaign world.

I like the art. very well done except there's something off about the way the archer's string hand is holding the string. Can't describe it very well, but try to put your hand in that position and then imagine trying to keep a bowstring taut with an arrow knocked like that. Speaking as a former archer, it just looks off to me.

Edit: figured it out. The drawing arm is always on a plane with the string and the bow. He should be pulling the string back. He is pulling it up.

Hey, I never said it was perfect. And aren't golf claps a bad thing? :P

I knew instinctually that the left arm didn't look quite right, but I'm not really sure how to fix it. I've examined it closely to try and figure out how I would change it, but I've just drawn a blank.

Anyway, here's some slightly older pieces I've done:

One of my personal favorites of all time, a bounding orc: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/Emptiverse/2ae6605a.jpg

A drawing I did for a friend of a shamanistic warrior woman: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/Emptiverse/LyneCorydrea.jpg

A paladin of horus: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/Emptiverse/HorusPaladin.jpg

And a drawin of my happy-go-lucky cleric of the God of Freedom, long before he gained enough levels and experienced enough betrayal to become an embittered champion of liberation: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/Emptiverse/Lytharik.jpg

I'm sure this should go with out saying, but I'm paranoid - please ask my permission before using any of my pictures.

[TheEscapist]

Behold! V for Vendetta! (http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/6558/vendettatw0.jpg)

You are a master of shading technique... It's something I've never personally been able to figure out.

[Flabbicus]

Fine. Regular claps for you then.

TheEscapist, that orc is awesome!

[Midnight Son]

I've examined it closely to try and figure out how I would change it, but I've just drawn a blank.Not sure I can explain it better, but I'll try. As one draws the arrow back, The line created from the arrow tip to the back of the elbow should be as straight as possible. No matter where you move the bow, that line remains constant. So in your drawing, His hand should be up at his side, just under the breast, while the elbow is pulled back and up. That said, I still think its some incredible art work. I hope to see more of your stuff here.

[Casualgamer]

Arts and crafts?

Here's my submission. I think its kinda messy, but I like the baddassery a Hellknight brings.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/aznsenseiliao/art001.jpg

Oh yeah, here's a sketch back to when I didn't know how to draw legs. I got better. Its a swordsman-type dude.

[TheEscapist]

Wonderful, I just start posting my artwork, and Casualgamer just comes along and outdoes me after not even a day. :P

Seriously, though, those are incredible. Do you despise drawing chains as much as I do?

Nice character design with the weapons being particularly good. I find the figures to be a little stiff but otherwise good.

I've made a number of 3D images (using Blender), here are some of the better ones:

I've been experimenting with a new coloring style for my webcomic, and decided to put up a few character drawings for comment.

Lionel Glenrose, White Mage (http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/AngryBalrog/Lionel-1.gif)

Cykla, Dryad Summoner (http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/AngryBalrog/Cykla.gif)

I personally like how Carnahan, Hemlock, and Algernon turned out the most, and think that Vania turned out the worst.

[ElfLad]

I second what Ego Slayer said.

And what Oskar said, that Elflad guy is awesome like a zombie John Lennon.

Also, I did the same coloring job for some of the villains in my comic. Unfortunately, I couldn't do a lot, because most of my upcoming villains aren't going to be introduced as villains, but here they are.

Selena Windrider, Halfling Templar (http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/AngryBalrog/Selena.gif)

[Chump_and_William]

*sigh* if only i could draw :'(

[Casualgamer]

*sigh* if only i could draw :'(

It really only takes practice... I've never had a drawing lesson/class in my life, only my instincts and some web tutorials.

I've got another one for y'all. This is the more artsy version of my first character, my avatar, before he got his wings...

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/aznsenseiliao/Picture.jpg

My scanner was being ultra mean, and the thing came out looking.... crumply. Buuut... it's a good deal cleaner than my Hellknight. C&C is welcome.

[AmberVael]

Personally I think there may be something a little too big about the legs and hip region, but it is still pretty good.

[ElfLad]

Wow, Casualgamer, that's pretty good. Wish I had the patience to draw details like that.

[Ego Slayer]

Fantastic job Casual! I love it. ;D

[Flavor_of_the_day]

thank you Ego and ElfLad,

your comments are much appreciated :D

[Alarra]

casual, i really like yours. the one criticiam i might offer is that the arms seems a bit short.

[Casualgamer]

Really? The hand is supposed to read down to the middle of the thigh right?

[ElfLad]

Here's the first comic I've done in my new style. Feedback would be appreciated.

edit: Forgot it was supposed to be done as a link. (http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/AngryBalrog/20060911a.gif)

[Alarra]

something I did the past couple days. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Alarra/dama2.jpg)

[Casualgamer]

A couple suggestions for Alarra:

His right pectoral muscle is a little misplaced. Your torso's midline is ramrod straight and vertical when it should be a little more bowed.

His left collar bone is shifted too far to the left, and his arms lack muscular definition... which would be ok if his chest was as less defined, but his chest is muscular, and thus his arms should be as well. Consistancy is good.

Finally, the shadowing is also not consistant. From the clock, the light source appears to be coming from the bottom left, but from his chest, it appears to be coming from straight on.

Other than these, there are a couple minor things like the pants that bother me, but its mostly good.

[Caillach]

This is a little different from what I usually show. I can't decide wheather it's nice or scary.
Critisism is greatly encouraged.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/Anabeana/mmmmu.jpg

[Sneak]

Ooh, purty! Really cool!

The right arm (her right) looks a little funky to me, but it might just be me.

[Shazzbaa]

The Escapist -- Oh, man, really like your character designs. That's the sort of thing I'm into, also. And yeah, that orc is awesome; everything looks right-on.

Flavor -- Wow, that's SERIOUSLY really nice! The details make me happy... :3

Caillach -- LOVE the colours! The shoulders feel a bit thick -- that face with the colourful hair and texture, though, is yummy. I like vibrant colours that aren't expected. ;3

And now, my stuff! Since I've been drawing a lot longer than I've been playing D&D. ^^; I'm actually linking to a little collection of D&D related sketches on my website from a campaign I'm in right now. I *always* doodle during roleplaying... If you want to look through the whole thing, it starts here:
D&D Doodles (http://www.shazzbaa.foskie.com/shazztemplate.php?image=/sketch/DND_SC.jpg)

It's not a coherent comic, since it's just a few isolated events, but there are a lot of little comics in there. My favourite one, if you don't want to go digging through all of the sketches and whatnot, is this two-pager, Based on a True Story:

Page 1 (http://shazzbaa.foskie.com/shazztemplate.php?image=/sketch/DND_SC_map1.jpg)
Page 2 (http://www.shazzbaa.foskie.com/shazztemplate.php?image=/sketch/DND_SC_map2.jpg)

Feedback of any intensity always appreciated, since I don't know if these are amusing to people who aren't actually in the game -- a comic's always funnier when you're in it. ^^;

[hyikim]

you guys are lucky, you can actualy draw stuff, i spend 3 hours and all i get is this:


http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/Hyikim/V.png

[hyikim]

It really only takes practice... I've never had a drawing lesson/class in my life, only my instincts and some web tutorials.

can you show me any of the tutorials that you used?


edit: so sry for the double posty, forgot :(

[Casualgamer]

Well.... I dunno if what worked for me will work for you... And it was really just a starting pad for an eight year old Pokemon otaku to start... buuuut...

This is the first set of tutorials I used to get myself started.

http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/tutorial.html


This is the second set of tutorials I used when I became more interested in how to draw proper bodies.

http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/index.htm

Finally, two years ago, I picked up Burne Hogarth's "Dynamic Anatomy" in the library because I really didn't want to look at too many pictures of naked men.

Everything else I have developed on my own as a result of practice and enthusiasm. Of course, I still suck, but I've come a pretty long way.

[Shazzbaa]

Finally, two years ago, I picked up Burne Hogarth's "Dynamic Anatomy" in the library because I really didn't want to look at too many pictures of naked men.

"The Figure" by Walt Reed is awesome if you're squeamish about the nude dudes. I don't think there's any fully naked man in that book, but with plenty of actual human figures to look at... though there are a fair number of naked women (but them, you just can't escape if you wanted to).

Casual's right... it's just about wanting to do it, and then getting down and actually DOING it.. If you keep practicing and working on improving yourself, you WILL get better, and noticably so. Some people are born with a gift for drawing, and some people aren't, but the people who aren't can still work and match -- in many cases, surpass -- those who were born with the talent; I've seen several examples of people who have. It IS a lot of work to get better, but if it's work you enjoy, then it's worth it.

[Alarra]

A couple suggestions for Alarra:


thanks. there was actually a lot i wasn't happy with in regards to this drawing, but it got across the sentiment I was going for, so I stopped messing.

[Caillach]

I thought it was very good Allara. The clock was done perfectly.

[hyikim]

i made a comic!
http://the-close-side.smackjeeves.com/comics/59737/

but, it can still use some work

[Casualgamer]

I've done another one. Same char, more dynamic pose.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/aznsenseiliao/Picture002.jpg

Lemme know what you think.

[mr.swapbomslime]

It's very good for a characterdrawing, the painty input's a bit strange. : D The face could be a bit more characteristical.

[Casualgamer]

the painty input's

Eh?

[mr.swapbomslime]

It looks like as if you'd done something with it in paint. :D

[Casualgamer]

Ohhhh... I used Photoshop this time because my scanner was stupid and picked up every single detail of the paper I drew on. Yeah, I guess you're right.

[Alarra]

Some people I drew from their photos on another site

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Alarra/drawsized.jpg

[SacredStorm]

Well I was searching through my closet and I found my favorite picture I drew last year for art class! The assignment was to pick a picture of your favorite comic book hero and draw it on a 24x18 piece of paper.

A cookie to who can guess who I drew! Hehe (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a147/SacredStorm/Toxin.jpg)

That was my first attempt at using colored pencils and ever since I've always used them for coloring! ^_^

[Malachi, the Lich King]

Well I was searching through my closet and I found my favorite picture I drew last year for art class! The assignment was to pick a picture of your favorite comic book hero and draw it on a 24x18 piece of paper.

Why couldn't I have gotten assignments like that in school? I was constantly harassed to draw anything but superheroes by my teachers.

[SacredStorm]

Heh the teacher was my soccer coach so I could persuade him to do it. Anyways it it was to help us with color schemes and color theory. Also superheroes have insanely large muscles so it helps with anatomy also haha.

[Nostrabel]

Here it goes one of mine. I draw and painted it on paper, but then I had to take a photo... Retouched in Photoshop.

http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nostrabelhy9.jpg

[Casualgamer]

Watch the placement of your nostrils.

[Malachi, the Lich King]

I'll agree with CG. The nostrils are a bit high and tilted upwards a lot [Unless that was your intention] I really like the waistcoat she's wearing though. Nice level of detail on that.

[Nostrabel]

Yes, I tought so too, but I only realized when I was almost finished. Anyway, noses aren't my strongest point. Thank you both.

[Malachi, the Lich King]

You're welcome.

And because I actually have the ability to draw stuff that is disgustingly cute.....

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/DMalachiPenney/JensDragon.jpg

[Caillach]

Awww, it' so sweet!

[Nostrabel]

AAAwwwww! That is SO cute! I want a pet like that! :P

[Midnight Son]

AAAwwwww! That is SO cute! I want a pet like that! :PI would too, but you'd have to fireproof all your stuff.

[Casualgamer]

Eh, just to keep this place alive:

Something I drew for theEscapist:

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/aznsenseiliao/Picture006.jpg

[Caillach]

Sweet! The one arm looks a little short, but that might just be the perspective.

[Alarra]

Very nice.

Ha! A new take on "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". Is this for what I think its for or just for fun?

[Alarra]

Depends on what you think it's for....

Actually, I doubt it, as this, while it was supposed to be for something, appears to be no longer. And it wasn't for something anyone knew about anyway.

And now that I look at it, the right arm does look a bit short. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

I've been doodling of late... here are some results:

Dragon Head (http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1/jezebelsPics/art/dragonHead_2.jpg)

The Runner (http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1/jezebelsPics/art/runner.jpg)

I find the combination of my scanner and different monitors is a bit disastrous at times, so keep that in mind, but constructive criticism is welcome! (I know the runner is terribly long waisted, but... *shrugs*)

[Gibbtall]

/cry You people make me depressed from the fact that I'm such a horrible artist... I think my problem is (other then my lack of skill and talent) I'm a bit of perfectionist when it comes to art. I always feel like I need nice clean lines and like the perfect symetrical stuff. I can't draw things naturaly, with realistic looking hair and faces and stuff.

Plus I LOVE how most of you do your armour, I'm a huge fan of awsome chunky ornate armour.

[Daedrous Avari]

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m22/Rivik/Marioisgone.jpg

Custom made mario level, took me forever to master the coins... I stole the top thing from a picture, though.

If you want, you can add your own character to the picture.

[Gibbtall]

Varey well done, but I believe that the scores and stuff are on the right side, but I could be mistaken.

[Elvenbane]

Here is my first attempt at an Avatar. His name is Elvenbane, and he hates elves. Does someone have an Elf Haters Guild? We wish to join. I used Gimp and Inkscape in case anyone was wondering.

[TinSoldier]

I like it. The only thing I want to point out is this: The line on the head seems to be about the right thickness. The other lines (mainly outlines, not inner detail lines) seem thin.

I do like the amount of detail you were able to fit into it.

[Myatar_Panwar]

you know, I keep seeing the programs, inkscape and Gimp together. When I downloaded Inkscape, I tried to also download gimp but I couldent. What is gimp? Is it a program that lets you saves things on different extenstions so that they can be uploaded on photobucket? Because I have yet to figure out how to do that.

[Casualgamer]

Do you really need gimp? Inkscape works fine for me.

[TinSoldier]

Heh, I haven't used Inkscape in awhile now (because I stopped trying to draw avatars).

The reason you would want Gimp or some other tool is to do graphic format changes and/or final editing of the picture. Resizing. Transparency. Stuff like that.

Other good free tools are Paint.NET (Windows) or IrfanView (Windows and Linux).

Gimp is very powerful, but I don't know how to use that power. I haven't really explored IrfanView yet. I like Paint.NET. It works very well for the kinds of manipulation that I need to do.

[Gerrtt]

Bored....

[Myatar_Panwar]

I just thought you needed Gimp to save things on photobucket.

Whenever I try and save something from inkscape and try to upload it on photobucket, it says I need a different extension, like gif and stuff, but im horrible with computors, thus I cannot get my avatars on this site.

Can someone please tell me how to change the extentsion (watever that is), so that I can upload avatars on photobucket then on this site? Ive asked on a few other threads but havent gotten any responses, so if someone could please, PLEASE HELP ME, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

If you are using Windows XP, then get Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/). Export your Inkscape picture as a PNG. Load it into Paint.NET and re-size it to where you want it. If you can figure out Inkscape you can figure out Paint.NET (heck, you could probably figure out Gimp for that matter...). Save your final picture as a GIF. Then you can upload it to photobucket. Note: you will have to install .NET 2.0 for Paint.NET.

Another option for changing size and formats is IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com/). I haven't figured that one out yet. It works with both Linux and Windows.

Your final option is Gimp. Note: For Gimp you may have to download GTK+ for Windows. I think that there is an installer package that will install GTK+ and Gimp at the same time.

Remember: Using Inkscape, export as PNG. Load into photo-editing software (one of the above programs) and make sure it is the right size. Save it as a GIF which will give you the best portability and filesize.

Edit: I'm not sure what all file formats that photobucket takes, but I know that it accepts PNG, JPG, and GIF. There are probably a couple others that it takes as well. I think your problem is that it doesn't take SVG which I believe is the native format for Inkscape. Same with PDN for Paint.NET or whatever Gimp's native format is.

OK, I think thats all I needed. I just wasnt sure how to get it to save with a different extentsion. I knew it had something to do with exporting but I wasnt sure what.

Well thanks, ill just download Paint.net and go from there. :)

[Myatar_Panwar]

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, IM SO CONFUSED!!!!!

OK, I downloaded Paint.net and all that stuff, then someone said to export as a PNG, but how do you do that? I meen, that isnt one of the extenstions available, plus I really have no idea what exporting is(well I might have some idea). But still, I remain confused. :'(

WAIT..... I did something a bit random when trying to export, and I think it worked....... hmmmmmm,..... still confused...

[TinSoldier]

Unless someone else does, let me get back to you tomorrow. I don't have Inkscape on this computer...

If it isn't under the File menu then I'll help you later.

[Myatar_Panwar]

Help is no longer needed my freind!

Because of your help and a few lucky clicks, I was able to figure it out. But seriously, thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it. ;D

[Gibbtall]

Wow, I love your art style choboroy, it seems so simply yet detailed. What program do you use and how do you do it??




So I don't double post: Arg, I have to come up with a cool design for mithril breastplate for my Fighter/Barbarian/Tempest duel wildy axe killy dude, Deurgar by the way, and ya, my friend is fianly goign to draw him for me (she hates dwarves with a passion and thinks Deugars are even worse) and she wants me to decide what the basic look or my armour is, but I suck at thinking up stuff like that >< please help.

[Casualgamer]

Make it a three-piece breastplate. 1 large piece covering the neck and pectorals, a smaller piece for the diaphram, and a large plate for the abdomen.

Include shoulder plates, mail skirt, shin plates, and bracers, but keep things close to the body, as this is a mithril breastplate. Things should look agile.

Try curving swirling designs, but don't go overboard. There's a reason real armor doesn't have filigree on it: it gives a place for the blade to catch.

No helmet. Helmets for anything short of fullplate is lame.

Just my suggestions.

[Gibbtall]

Cool, I might end up stealing her sketchbook at somepoint and doodling a bit.

[ZombieRockStar]

Phear my underdeveloped drawing skills! (Of course, I stand in total awe of daleicious's piece...this is why I'm a writer)

I was fantastically bored during my studying and essay work yesterday, so I started doodling in my notebook. It started with two portraits of music gods, but then I decided to copy two of my favourite pictures from the "You pt. 2" thread.

I bet you saw this coming (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n259/Lord_of_Cookies/Kurt.jpg)

I try to copy the cover of Blonde on Blonde and it turns out Manga...

And now, some portraits of two of our most illustrious posters:

Who wants to give me abuse for this? (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n259/Lord_of_Cookies/Ego.jpg)

I probably deserve it for one reason or another. Note to self: do this in pencil from now on so that when you screw up her nose, you can fix it without using white-out. I think this is the best one, for more reasons than one.

The hat proves that I have no sense of proportion (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n259/Lord_of_Cookies/ElJ.jpg)

This was wonderful fun to draw, even though it turned out horrible. Ignore the caption at the bottom...high brow literary joke.

[daleicious]

Death: Ha ha! I never noticed that it looked like Xykon was gnawing on Roy's knuckles... that's classic.

Zombie: Keep sketching - you capture the essence of the characters well.

EgoSlayer: Thanks - ps: you're not living up to your UserName... heh

[StereotypicalWizard]

Just wondering? Does Xykon on the undead dragon ala Pick Your Doom (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0300.html) make you feel creative? Cos if it does, that could look sooo cool. If not, well, I know art isa tempremental thing. I've yet to get my art's temperement just right... (ie, i'm not that good, but still trying)
So yeah, an undead dragon eh?

[Nostrabel]

What's at the end of the hallway. There's some 3ds max. It looks really cool with fixed volume lighting, but it loses the detail, so overall this one turned out better. I haven't used 3ds max in about 6 months now (aside from Trog's tavern) so It's about time I get back to it, since I have a comp in april again.

I guess the floortiles got messed up when I expanded the camera fov to much.

very good, i like the clothes and the broken heart :)

[Sketch]

if you wouldn't mind...how do you color in photoshop? do you clean up your lineart?

Two ways:

One: Draw your image, preferrably in strong black. Scan in. Trace it with the pentool on Photoshop. Fill in with the pen tool or magic wand.

Pros: Get a very contemporay cartoon effect.
Cons: Takes practice and very timconsuming.

Two: Draw your image. Pencil looks cool. Scan in. Work with the curves and contrast fo your drawing to make it clearer. Set the layer to Multiply. Create a new layer... place it behining your drawing, fill it in a dull colour, i like dark grey. Create a new layer in between your background and drawing. Using this to colour in. Use a soft brush and simply use light strokes and around 60% opacity.

Pros: Awsome effect, not too time consuming.
Cons: Can look abit messy, take a while to get to know exactly what ya doing.

Hope that helped. For more info on painting in Photoshop, get a magazine called ImagineFX, tis real useful.

[Diabhan]

thanks Sketch!...I wonder why I didn't think of using the pen tool....

[Ego Slayer]

@Sketch: Whoa. Just whoa. That's really, really cool.http://s4.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

What version of PS are you using? An Elements or a professional?

In regards to the second coloring option: When you're putting a layers under the drawing you manually erased the white from the drawing for transparency beforehand? How are you getting the layers under the drawing? I assume you open a blank document because the image it's self is locked. Where is Multiply? I still don't have a firm grasp on PS.

Wait, now that I think of it Duplicate is probably the same thing (we may not have the same versions).


The extent of my PS coloring was putting somewhat opaque color right over the cleaned up drawing.
Here is one. http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6331/girlcolorwebze9.jpg

And at Ego Slayer nice drawing. I am using Photoshop 7.0. Multiply is a seeting you can put the layer on, like overlay etc. by putting the drawing like this, you can draw on layers underneath it, and they will show through.

[Alarra]

Aurumvorax,

Awesome Celia, I love it.

The main issue I see with the hands is that they're too small. They're drawn well, but appear out of proportion with the rest of the body.

The hair and face are beautifully done, but the head seems a bit large, proportionally. To counter that, I think that I would lengthen the legs a bit, possibly make the feet a bit longer, but they're really fine. I'd also widen out the stomach a bit...I mean, I realize she's skinny, but it almost looks like that goes in to a point where actually having ribs wouldn't allow.

Very nice though.


Ittybittykitty,

Dirk is great.

Wilhelmina however....looks kinda like a guy's head on a girl's body. Okay...it actually looks -a lot- like a guys head stuck on a girl's body. I'd make the head a bit smaller, restyle the eyebrows a bit, and add eyelashes maybe? That might help.


And to keep in the spirit of showing artwork...here's something I did a little while ago that I actually never showed over here.

ufo, Dire Penguin, Sketch thanks for your positive comments. :smallsmile:

hyikim? yes, I've seen this one, it's cool beyond measure. A masterwork, really.

Alarra your advice is really appreciated. I'll try to re-draw her soon. The problem with the proportions might come from the fact that I'm used to drawing fan-art for ElfQuest by Wendi Pini, and those elves have a bit different proportions, they are much shorter than humans and have relatively bigger head .
I liked your drawing too. Is it a Tremere girl doing some research?

[hyikim]

masterwork? really?

wow, i could become an artist when i grow up. :cool:

[swordmaster2000]

here are a few sketches of mine the first is a superhero of my creation with power over cold winds his name is Cold Front. Next are the members of the super villan group The Elements of Evil. Coldfront used to be a part of them but he left and now fights them. The first member is Flashflood water control, then Landslide, earth control then Volcano fire control. You get the idea:smallsmile: http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/3315/coldfront00016xu.jpg

Wow! That "You Broke My Sword" picture is really awesome! Such a cool picture and Roy looks pretty much like I thought of him too! Great... and then, well, Zycon is the just coolest guy!! And the flaming crown in that picture... I wish I could have done it! I would have made myself proud! :smalltongue: So... how do I put up my own pictures here anyway?? I haven't quite figured this out yet... not the first forum I've been on but... let's face it, I was never very interested in the other ones very much! But this one I am interested in!

Not bad, but if I were you I would enhance it in GIMP or something to make the lines firmer. I'd also suggest not drawing on lined paper.

I've been meaning to get photoshop sometime soon, and the paper is all I had in maths. Yes, I drew that while I was supposed to be doing algebra...:smallbiggrin:

[The Orange Zergling]

The legs are too short, and the arms are a tad too thin but otherwise, looks good.

Like I said...First try...It looked much better on the a4 sheet it's on...But still...I'm still trying to draw another one, and failing badly...Very badly...I must only be able to do it in maths :smalltongue:

In my experience, the first try is often good. The second is one of the worst, third is barely any better, ect.

Adobe Illustrator. Their the symbols of some of autodesk's most expensive software. I've got combustion, Maya, and 3dsmax, but I could never dream of owning Flint, Flame, Smoke, or Inferno. (partially because they cost about $250,000 per workstation:smalleek: )

You're kidding, right? o.o;
Are those separate programs, or add-ons for 3dsmax/Maya. And why exactly are there so many of them?

[Wayril]

You're kidding, right? o.o;
Are those separate programs, or add-ons for 3dsmax/Maya. And why exactly are there so many of them?
No, I'm serious.

3ds Max and Maya are both 3d modeling and animating. Combustion is video compositing, greenscreening, particle effects, and all that awesome stuff. Combustion is one of the most commonly used compositing/special fx programs in the movie industry. Flint, Flame, Smoke, and Inferno are basically the same thing as combustion except they reach out into other areas with increased particle systems libraries(combustions specialty), and more realistic effects. Each of those 4 covers a slightly different field. They are obviously only used by the top notch movie producers.

I was told about them by an autodesk sales rep, when I was in Dallas. I'm sure you can find examples of where each was used. If I remember correctly the ghosts in LOTR were created(or rather edited) using inferno.

Anyway, Autodesk is an enourmous company. They've also got Autocad, Revit, Viz(weakened version of 3dsmax), inventor(weakened version of autocad), motionbuilder, scetchbook pro, and more. Basically they bought Alias, about 1.5 yrs ago, and that really expanded their industry even more, especially with the releases last summer.

Cool picture, Mr. Limb Rippa.
I dig the fiery magical hands (the hands are excellently drawn, btw). The cape is well shaded, but the other clothing isn't as strong. The robe-thing he's wearing probably needs a line between his boots to show that it hangs down behind him. Clothing is a pain, but for me the best thing is to practice from references to try to get the hang of it.

This is fan art for T. Hunt's magnificent Goblins comic. The characters are (obviously) his and not mine.

Nice work, Alarra!

Now, always remember to keep unlined paper with you, even in class. It will work havoc with your real work, but your drawing skills will profit.

The arm down? I see nothing too wrong with the arm - the elbow is maybe slightly high, but not so much as it would bother anyone. The only criticism I can really offer is that the nose is a bit high.

Dr. Bath, I agree with others that the drawing is very successful but for that mouth, which is a bit off. The cape is very good in my opinion. Her right arm is a little strange too, slightly too short.

Here is fan-art for another book, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.

I'm really new to drawing, especially using computer programs. This is my first attempt at drawing a psion using Microsoft PowerPoint http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/runeix/1stavatar.jpg Edit 1: Oh yeah, feedback is very welcome!

That should probably go in the OOTS-style Arts and Crafts thread: this one is for any other sort of art. That is, of course, unless you are doing a stickman style of art that is not OOTS-style.

Anyway, good work, but here are some pointers.

I would advise against using powerpoint. The lack of anti-aliasing completely ruins otherwise good pictures, and in any case the tools are very limiting. Anti-aliasing is the addition of extra, less strongly coloured pixels along a diagonal or curved line, which surve to make the line seem a lot smoother to the eye. While Powerpoint does use vectors (which are arguably best for this sort of art), I would advise downloading Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) instead, as that is a much more powerful program which is both similar and different to Powerpoint.

There are ways of getting anti-aliasing in a program that otherwise does not support it, such as paint, or indeed powerpoint. Resizing in Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/) is a popular method.

That aside, make your lines thicker! Thin lines are a common mistake, increasing line thickness will make your art look many times better. 2 pixels generally looks good on avatar sized art, probably more on that image.

If you are aiming for OOTS style, the head needs to be circular and closer to the body so it overlaps: you should not be able to see the top corners. Likewise, he could do with hands: just a couple of curved lines.

The sword could do with being moved closer: he's not using it to attack, and therefore it would just be harder to carry where it is. Try tilting it back over his shoulder. This will also help reduce image size.

Apart from that, well done!

Some people have no taste.

Wow! That "You Broke My Sword" picture is really awesome!

Thanks for the kind words Old One! Much appreciated!


someone made a really cool picture of Roy vs Xykon, it was really good

Glad you liked it hyikim... and thanks for digging it up like that! I posted a black and white version on my deviant art account (http://daleicious.deviantart.com) but I like the coloured one better.


So yeah, an undead dragon eh?

I was tempted to draw Roy mid-leap, hovering above Xykon... but then I thought that I've already done a Roy+Xykon moment, so I wanted to do something different.


I've seen this one, it's cool beyond measure.

Wow - that's an awesome set of compliments - I love your use of the language. Do you write prose at all?

@Everyone - great drawings and artwork... very inspiring.

Here's a new one from me - I liked Miko so I thought I'd give a shot at drawing her after she's fallen... in shock at what has transpired...
