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.

The leader, a cleric/necromancer following the God of Tyranny: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../Malvornox.jpg
The muscle, a zealous soldier of the Church of Tyranny's standing army: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...rse/Serjon.jpg
The bodyguard, an elven sniper: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...se/Avelios.jpg
The advisor, a summoner/alienist tertiarially involved with the Church of Tyranny: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/Charidin.jpg

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.

[Ego Slayer]

Behold! V for Vendetta!

[Flabbicus]

The knives look a little funky but other than that...

*Golf Claps*

[Ego Slayer]

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/v2...e/2ae6605a.jpg

A drawing I did for a friend of a shamanistic warrior woman: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...neCorydrea.jpg

A paladin of horus: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...rusPaladin.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/v2...e/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!

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!

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/f2...iao/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'm also working on a human head, but thats not in a complete enough state to be shown.

Edited as I posted an image rather than a link

[Flavor_of_the_day]

This is the most fantasy related item i've done that i could find:

sorry the link is so dang long :o

[ElfLad]

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

Antonio Denzel Wren, Swashbuckler Extraordinaire

Carnahan Rastel, Elven Ninja

Vania Altamont, Avian Archer

Hemlock, Elven Black Mage

Algernon McKinnon, Dwarven Engineer, and his robotic "familiar", MR-CO

Cykla, Dryad Summoner

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

I like them all, especially Lionel.

Very nice, and, looking at the rest of your deviations, you are good ! :D

[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

Benedict Iscariot, Completely Trustworthy Avian Royal Advisor

Cornelius Bartholomew Edgeworth IV, Dwarven Barbarian

Ione, Elven Assassin

*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/f2...ao/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.
